Beyond: UFOs and the Unknown

MGM's Beyond: UFOs Episode 1 is an absolute gem for any fan of the unexplained. From the moment the episode begins, it grips viewers with its masterful storytelling and striking visuals. The episode dives deep into intriguing UFO encounters, whistleblowers and a blending of firsthand accounts with expert analyses that lend a layer of credibility and fascination. The pacing is perfect, maintaining suspense without feeling rushed. Episode 1 sets a high bar, promising a thrilling journey into the unknown that both skeptics and believers will find compelling. A must-watch that leaves you eagerly awaiting the next episode! The last episode, of course, looks the most intriguing and piqued my interest by saying, "This will change everything we thought about human consciousness...."

I don't mind seeing a different interpretation of published facts, it can always bring out something new. I am tired of overproduced docs on UFO's, of thish this is one.

However the biggest problem with this doc is that it's way, way out of date. Kirkpatrick is now widely discredited as a good faith actor, even by Mellon in a scathing missive, who in this film, lauds him as the head of AARO.

A secondary problem is that as usual there's a complete disconnect with the narrative of congress and the government finally doing something about UFO's, a Pentagon that doesn't really understand UFO incursions, and David Grusch's testimony that the US has been in the crash retrieval business dating back before WW2, known to be aided by the CIA and JSOC.

In the end it will take a whistleblower going public (the President of the United States is unable to declassify nuclear secrets, which UFO's fall under; that requires the the approval of the Secretary of the Defense and the Energy Secretary). Hope I live to see it.

Leave it to me, the black person, to bring up the complete and blatant lack of DIVERSITY in this Doc that I'm sure none of yall even care about. 🙄

The only person they interviewed, showed photos of, that wasn't a WHITE MALE was that 1 WHITE lady. Why does this matter to me so much??... because there are many Black, Indigenous, People of Color and FEMALE Astrophysicists, Astronomers, etc from the past and presently Living that also could've Greatly contributed to these conversations.

But I gave up after the first two episodes because it was maddening and wholeheartedly disappointing.

DO BETTER. 😑👎🏾
