It has been just a few weeks since the last documentary about UFOs was reviewed on this site (Top 10 Mind Blowing UFO Crash Cases) and now I have a second one for review. Also coming from Bayview Entertainment, I expected the J. Michael Long directed UFO Whistleblowers: Aliens and The UAP Enigma Exposed to follow a similar light on information style. Instead it was good to see this was more in depth on its subject matter even if I don't think it will make believers of anyone not convinced of alien visitations to Earth.
Over seventy five minutes this jumps around from the 1940's to present day looking at various whistle-blowers who claim that the American government secretly has access to alien technology and alien corpses. It covers the usual subjects such as the Roswell crash and the shady powerful group allegedly going by the name Majestic 12. Also some newer topics were mentioned, such as the weird incident from 2023 where various strange objects were spotted in the skies of America (stating that at least one of these was confirmed to be a Chinese spy balloon). The documentary is more than just various case files, as it also seems determined to provide the information of just what constitutes a whistle-blower, the different forms these might take, methods used to try and supress whistle-blowers and why these people are important for a healthy democracy to function. While here they are mentioned with respect to UFO sightings and recovered technology, it also serves as talking about these people in general, as obviously whistle-blowing is not restricted just to alleged alien events.
The previous documentary suffered by not really featuring a lot of variation, happy to just show some pretty bad looking CG and be done with it. Here there are talking head segments from experts in the field, archival footage from court room reveals, cheesy re-enactments and of course some bad looking CG. There was a certain charm to the cheesy stuff shown here, and the quality of the CG while bad, didn't meet the same low quality as that other documentary I recently watched. It was all narrated by the director, and it was for the most part interesting, whether what is stated is actually real or not. One subject it kept going back to was the suggestion that there has been a long running UFO retrieval and reverse engineering program going on in the U.S, with various archival footage of people claiming this is the case. It was interesting how the modern consensus among believers is that these UFOs aren't from different planets but instead from different dimensions.
Throughout this there was a suitably mysterious soundtrack that I thought fitted this well, the documentary culminates in a relatively lengthy epilogue that ends things on a positive and optimistic note.
I thought that UFO Whistleblowers: Aliens and The UAP Enigma Exposed was better than my expectations. I wish I was a firm believer of this stuff, but I remain sceptical. Regardless, I found the formatting of this interesting, and there was enough variation that it never got stale. This documentary is available on Digital platforms worldwide, including Amazon Prime Video in the UK and USA. It is also available on AVOD Digital.
