UFO Hunters

The team have many questions but never find any answers. Every episode is just a waste of time. They are constantly searching.... And that's the whole show in a nutshell!

I have tried to give UFO Hunters a chance, but the producers aren't on my side. The premise of investigation is interesting, and the incidents investigated are intriguing, but too much time is wasted on shaky, vertigo inducing, extreme zoom shots of vehicles and scenery. I understand that the hand held camera is considered the way to shoot television nowadays, but my twelve year old son could be a better cinematographer than this. Often, whenever something truly interesting is shown, it is on screen for mere seconds, or is blurred. The underground base episode, for instance, went on for most of an hour about the layout of the alleged base, and when maps were provided, they were on screen for 3 seconds (I timed it). I guess if the show were more visually appealing instead of a visual assault on the senses I would be able to continue watching it. This show epitomizes the difference between reality TV and documentary TV, the difference between sensationalism and journalism.

If you can get past the gimmicky "hey, people think this is cool/I think I'm cool" , flashy, lame overly dramatic crap, catering to the stupis, it definitely has some very interesting things. The research is cool, the case they study are cool, but their.. or HIS constantly trying to be "cool" or him concluding everything is "definitely extraterrestrial" even when there's no conclusive evidence and/or it even suggests otherwise, can be a bit tiresome.

If these were "responsible" and "Scientifically-minded" individuals, they would NOT title this piece with "Aliens". Its completely irresponsible to call this an "Alien" that s contained in this Episode. Bill Birnes is a Nut Case anyways, so that explains it. He Dresses like a "Top Gun" pilot, and I dont think he even has a Pilots License!

First, "U.F.O. Hunters" is slightly better than another series by "The History Channel" called "Monster Quest". Although both documentaries appear to be chasing smoke, the experiments by John Tindall elevate "U.F.O. Hunters" to slightly above average. The various episodes are a hit or miss affair, with "Invasion Texas 2008" the most recent report. Although a believer - skeptic balance is presented, Bill Birnes of "U.F.O. Magazine" comes across as insincere, trying to defend an indefensible position. If you enjoy "fringe science", quirky characters, questionable research, biased investigations, and searching old "crash sites", this is for you. - MERK
