A long, long time ago, I remember seeing a "documentary" on T.V. with the same (or similar) title to this thread.
Obviously, the show was about UFOs and, at the time, I was fairly taken in by it. Mind you, I think I was 14 years old* at the time, but I was very much into space and astronomy and I considered UFOs to be quite a likely phenomenon.
I remember they interviewed this quite awkward sounding U.K. ex-policeman, Tony Dodd. I can't believe I still remember his name, but he seems to be quite the UFO version of Dylan Avery these days, judging by the Google results.
It also dealed with George Adamski, and caused me to borrow one of his books, "Inside the Spaceships", from the library, although I never made it past the first few pages. Like I said, I was young!
I also remember some really shaky footage of some lights which were supposed to be UFOs. The narrator, IIRC, said the footage was taken from an aircraft and shows the "UFOs" performing "remarkable maneuvers". Thinking back, it looks more like someone just couldn't hold their camera straight. I can't believe how stupid I was.
The reason I am mentioning this is because I am contemplating purchasing a copy of it. Why? Well, apart from making a nice change to 9/11, I want to watch it to see how naive and impressionable I was back then! In fact, I think it would be a great idea for me to watch it again and report back to the JREF on how my opinion of it has changed. I remember my first view viewings very vividly.
To be honest, I remember actually recording it off the TV. I'd be buggered if I know what I did with the tape, though. It may have even been a Beta cassette.
Has anyone else here seen this "documentary". Or even better, still have it?
* I could have sworn I was only 10-12 years old when I saw it, but apparently it was released in 1994, which would have made me at least 13 years old, but probably 14.
