FAQs:
Who are "THEY"?
"THEY" are those who profit from the lack of public science literacy: the TV shows selling you more of the same old storytelling, the UFO personalities in the press, even some in Congress who act determined to force the government to disclose what it knows about aliens.
The better you understand the real sciences involved, the less susceptible you are to the firestorm of popular misinformation.
Why aren't interviews with my favorite UFO personalities included?
Why didn't I interview David Fravor, Lue Elizondo, Steven Greer, Avi Loeb, David Grusch, Bob Lazar, etc.? These are lifelong believers in old UFO stories, and this movie is not about that — it's about real astrophysics and exobiology. Virtually every other UFO movie is about that, so there are plenty of films out there that will give you a fix of the same old stories and claims retold — all without a speck of evidence — if that's what you prefer.
This movie teaches how we might realistically meet another civilization one day. False anecdotes claiming past alien visitations, and the people who tell them, play no role in the sciences involved. For a more detailed explanation, see this article.
Why didn't you cover this UFO case, or that UFO case?
Although I did devote some time to a few specific UFO mythologies in the film, the purpose was to demonstrate the quality of evidence needed to make determinations. These cases are supported only by fabricated evidence, and the idea was to demonstrate why we need to know that. This film is not about retelling many old stories. Anyway it's only 90 minutes and I had to be extemely selective.
But fear not, I've got you covered. My weekly show Skeptoid, top 10 in Social Sciences since 2007, has dissected virtually every major UFO story, using original source material. Use the search box on the website to find the case you're interested in.
Where can I see it?
It's on a bunch of streaming services. Check out its JustWatch page to see where you can watch it right now.
Can I get my own copy?
Sure. The movie is included on the Skeptoid USB drive (along with all our other films) which you can purchase here.
Will it be on DVD or Blu-ray?
Yes! DVDs (sorry no Blu-ray) are available for order online from Amazon and Walmart.
What's with the goofy title?
Ha ha! Yes, agreed. Early in the process a whole bunch of us workshopped a lot of titles. When someone added this one to the mix as a joke, it suddenly shot to the top of the polling and stayed there. Yes, it's silly. Yes, it provokes suspicion about the movie's content. But people talk about it, and they remember it — (you even read this FAQ about it!) — and those are benefits money can't buy in a movie title.
