UFO: Secret Missions Exposed (2019)

[Flack]

For some unknown reason, UFO: Secret Missions Exposed is categorized as a documentary on Amazon Prime. To be fair, certain facts presented within the documentary are in fact true. For example, the Earth really does have a moon, and NASA is in fact a real government organization. From there, the line between "fact" and "wildly fanciful" get pretty blurred.

The question posited by this "documentary" is, are alien bases operating on the moon?

As "evidence" (get used to the air quotes in this review), the "documentary" brings up the missing Apollo 11 tapes and claims that the way in which the moon landing was filmed and broadcast to televisions was suspicious. It is true that NASA has someone misplaced the original broadcast recordings, which is confusing and unforgivable. UFO: Secret Missions Exposed posits the reason is because the astronauts spent several minutes discussing the alien bases they saw on the moon, and claims that amateur radio operators overheard this conversation -- despite the fact that (a) there's no evidence this happened, (b) none of the people who supposedly overheard it appear in the film, and (c) none of these amateur radio operators who were listening to, at that time, the most incredible moment in human history, didn't record it.

Next, the film goes into the claim that Buzz Aldrin "saw aliens" even though Buzz Aldrin never said he saw aliens. Aldrin did report seeing lights that he could not explain, which turned out to be reflections from the sun on the craft's panels. Aldrin has repeatedly denied he ever saw aliens, has passed a lie detector test in regards to these claims, and even did an AMA on Reddit in 2020 in which he stated without a doubt that he did not see aliens and never said he saw aliens. Anyway, the documentary says he saw aliens. (Read more HERE)

Two additional less-than-compelling characters appear in the film to make outrageous and unprovable claims. The first claims that he is a remote viewer and that he was once invited to a government laboratory and asked to "remote view the moon," where he saw aliens and active space stations. The man goes on to admit that the person who invited him to the lab mysteriously disappeared, and that he can't remember where the lab was, or what organization was behind the operation. The other charter witness, "Randy," says that as a child he boarded a spaceship, went to the moon, worked on an alien base for 20 years, and then was magically transported back into his childhood body so nobody else noticed his disappearance.

UFO: Secret Missions Exposed is entertaining in the sense that everyone that appears in it is a raging lunatic and that literally none of their claims are backed by facts or proof and no one did the slightest bit or research or fact checking. Entertaining, maybe. Documentary? Please.

Yeah, I tried watching this about a year ago. I’m all about reading into ufo conspiracies, but a lot of what is presented here is just silly.

Whose that one guy? Bob Lazar?

Whose that one guy? Bob Lazar?

Yup. He's an odd character! At least he has one of the coolest stories in my opinion. The things he describes I can actually picture as possibly being real and sounds a lot less silly than the dude in this movie claiming he was abducted as a kid for example.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Well, if he's in this documentary then I am in, but if he is not, I am still in. I need these secret missions to be exposed!!

FULL FRONTAL

Adding Bob Lazar to this documentary would be like hiring Bill Clinton to kick off the gathering of the Juggalos.

That..... analogy is perfect.

I get it.

No full frontal though.
