UFO CONSCIENCE avec Denis Roger Denocla - Le dossier Ummo
La molécule d’ADN est loin d’être un livre ouvert. Alors que l’on croyait avoir éclairci les secrets du code génétique il y a plus de 50 ans, une équipe états-unienne vient d’identifier un autre code, caché sous le premier, qui aurait un rôle dans le contrôle des gènes. Cette découverte pourrait aider les chercheurs à mieux évaluer les conséquences des mutations et à mieux comprendre certaines maladies.
Dans le cadre du projet Encode (Encyclopedia of DNA elements), qui vise à répertorier l’ensemble des séquences d’ADN du génome humain, des chercheurs de l’université de Washington (États-Unis) ont fait une découverte surprenante. Ils ont montré que le code génétique tel qu’on le connaissait jusqu’ici en cachait un autre, destiné quant à lui à la régulation de l’expression des gènes. Cette découverte est publiée dans la revue Science.
Le génome contient des séquences codantes et des séquences qui permettent aux facteurs de régulation de se fixer sur l’ADN pour contrôler l’expression des gènes. Grâce à des techniques de biologie moléculaire, les chercheurs ont analysé la répartition de ces deux types de séquences. Ils ont montré que 15 % des codons du génome humain avaient une double fonction : d’un côté ils participent à la fabrication des protéines, de l’autre ils donnent des instructions aux cellules pour moduler l’expression des différents gènes. Pour cette raison, les scientifiques les ont appelés « duons ».
« Le code génétique peut simultanément écrire deux sortes d'informations, explique John Stamatoyannopoulos, le directeur de l’étude. Il est donc possible que certaines mutations que l’on croyait uniquement liées à la séquence protéique, perturbent aussi le contrôle de l’expression des gènes. » Selon les auteurs, cette découverte pourrait permettre de mieux comprendre le développement de certaines maladies.

The Mysterious Agents known as the Men in Black
December 17, 2013
Who is behind this covert agency? They are not people to mess around with. An interview with the father who’s son was shot in the head ppint-blank. Why the necessity to silence people who talk about UFO’s? Separating science fiction from science fact.
Publisher's Note: Received an interesting email from David Wisbey about the Mexican government revealing Mayan documents that seem to prove extraterrestrial contact. For your pleasure. Dirk
Link below is to a French website with photos and explanations of these artifacts. To translate into English, or many other languages (including Czech, Mirka!), scroll down the right hand column until you get to "Translate." Looks like this came out in August, 2012, with an eye to 2012 prophecies. The images are quite detailed and amazing, and the interpretations seem entirely plausible.
Ardy Sixkiller Clarke is working on another book about what she has learned from the Mayans in Mexico and Mesoamerica about extraterrestrials and their relationship to them. From the looks of these artifacts, she will have a lot to write about.
Here's a link to a 12 minute video about the artifacts. (May need your mute button for the music.) From 3:20 to about 6:30 is a short lecture by Nassim Haramein and again at about 9:15.
Publisher's Note: I across an article on the yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk website featuring a story about my collegue Philip Mantle, the man the article names as 'the UFO man'. Philip is the author of 'Once Upon A MIssing Time' and is publisher of the magazine UFO TODAY. This is long article and I am only showing the first few, please follow the link at the end and read the rest of the article. Enjoy Dirk
By Neil Hudson:
"Philip Mantle has met many people who claim to have seen ufos, including those who claim they were abducted by aliens. Neil Hudson lifts the veil on the mystery that won’t go away."
The strange light filmed hovering over Leeds recently has reignited the debate about UFOs. Though the sighting is unlikely to answer any fundamental questions, one Yorkshireman is convinced these unexplained phenomena have a deeper meaning.
Whatever your views on UFOs (unidentified flying objects), it cannot be denied that it’s a subject which continues to ignite our imaginations.
Philip Mantle might not fit the bill in terms of the stereotypical UFO hunter. The son of a coal miner, he works in the complaints department at a well-known high street bank and is nothing if not pragmatic.
He interest in ‘the unknown’ goes back to childhood - while other children would play cops n robbers, Philip was quite content attending the local spiritualist church with his friend’s grandmother.
“I’ve always loved sci-fi,” says the 55-year-old father and grandfather. “I can remember seeing Close Encounters and I thought it was nice but I wasn’t mad on it. By co-incidence, the very same week there was an advert in the Yorkshire Evening Post for a new Yorkshire UFO society and they were having their first meeting on North Street, Leeds. That was 1979.
“It was started by two brothers, Gordon and Mark Birdsall, and they had a good mixture of people in the room, including architects, a police officer and so on. It was at that point I thought that perhaps this is not the crazy subject that it’s been made out to be.
“This was long before the birth of the internet but it was people coming together to ask serious questions about things which were unexplained. I’ve always been one to ask questions, if there’s a big red button saying ‘do not press’, I’m the one who wants to know what happens if you press it.”
The group began to produce its own material and launched its own investigations, many of which looked at reports of UFO sightings in and around Skipton, North Yorkshire.
“We would go out and speak to people, we befriended a good number of farmers. We would reports but in terms of finding an answer, I can’t give you one.”
It’s the kind of sober response which sums up Philip’s approach, which he takes very seriously.
Commenting on the UFO footage on the YEP website posted last week he said: “It looks to me like a model aircraft, based on the way it moves.
“One of the frustrating aspects of todays UFO research is that there are more cameras than ever before but the images of alleged UFOs seem to get worse. Why is that I wonder?”
The Geminid meteor shower begins on Thursday, but residents of Tucson, Ariz., got a preview on Wednesday night as a meteor streaked through the sky and exploded. The shock wave rattled windows and scared local residents, who contacted local media and took to the Internet to inquire about "something suspicious."
"My wife and I and my son were sitting in the house, and we felt this absolutely tremendous explosion," Tucson resident Tony Kubrak told KGUN9-TV. "I mean, it shook the windows. It shook everything in the house. I stepped outside, and (it) had to be no more than 3 minutes later after I hear all of this, and I see this tremendous, white, bright light in the western sky. And it was just ... it was absolutely enormous. I couldn't believe it."
Here's dash-cam video of the meteor, which, granted, does not look quite as impressive here, but that's probably more due to the angle than anything else:
The Geminid meteor shower will be visible all over the world until early next week, and NASA is predicting a particularly striking show. The meteors will be most visible each day from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. ET.
As NASA notes, the Geminid meteor shower is caused by debris flying off an enormous rock, 3200 Phaethon. The orbit of the asteroid, which is more than 5 kilometers in average diameter, runs closer to the sun than any other named asteroid.

UFOs over Restricted Air Space and Submerged UFOs ( USOs ) Unknown Underwater Objects
December 16, 2013
Los Angeles, California the port in Long Beach is one of the busiest ports in the world. Cruises to the Catalina Island are non-stop. Are we sailing over USO high-traffic areas? Also, ongoing UFO sightings over restricted air space. I question, why don’t our air raid sirens sound? Why aren’t air trafficc ontrollers detecting these crafts??
NASA frequently fields questions in regard to the ETH and UFOs. As of 2006, its official standpoint was that ETH has a lack of empirical evidence. “no one has ever found a single artifact, or any other convincing evidence for such alien visits”. David Morrison. “As far as I know, no claims of UFOs as being alien craft have any validity — the claims are without substance, and certainly not proved”. David Morrison
This show looks at the reports of unidentified submerged objects (USOs), one of which reportedly caused the crash of a single-engine aircraft, off the coast of Santa Catalina Island, California.
“What secrets lurk in ocean depths? Are there alien forms of intelligent life that occupy the vast volumes of water that constitute our oceans, seas, and lakes? The largest of our oceans, the Pacific, covers 64,000,000 square miles and reaches a depth of 36,198 feet, a depth that no ray of sunlight ever reaches. Could these depths hide alien submarine bases?
UFO/aliens are NOT your friends!!
Folks, extremely bad times are on the horizon, utter chaos can break at any time with the signs of the times flashing warning! warning! right in our faces. It is impossible to deny that we live in threatening times.
Hell is eternal and it certainly is not one big party.
There is only one way to avoid eternal damnation with its extreme suffering and that is through accepting God’s priceless, yet free to us, gift of salvation. For all mankind. That one way is achieved by believing and confessing the following:
Every person is a sinner, including you, so admit it to God Who loves you regardless. Ask for His forgiveness.
Be willing to turn from your sins, He will help you to do so if you ask and trust Him to.
Believe Jesus Christ the Messiah; God in human flesh, shed His majestic and replete Blood to cleanse you from your sins, died for you, was buried and rose from the dead.
Invite the living, sacred Jesus Christ of Nazareth; God the Messiah (NOT the prophet!) into your life to be your personal Savior.

Alien Contact Signs on Earth!
Alien Contact Signs on Earth!
NASA 'HI' to Juno in Morse Code Juno probe records the ghostly voice of the universe. In addition to the exclusive images of the 'celestial dance' between Earth and the Moon, on 9 October, the Juno spacecraft caught something on its way to Jupiter.
October 9, 2013: NASA’s Juno Spacecraft flew past Earth on its way to Jupiter.
At the same time more than 1400 amateur radio operators around the world repeatedly transmitted ‘HI’ in Mors code, in unison.
The video below presents natural radio’s signals from Earth’s magnetosphere along with pieces of the repeated Mors code message, recorded by Juno and turned into sound.
As Juno picked up this signal as it flew past Earth which can only mean a few things, but my conclusion would be THEY are here and if the signals are being forwarded from Earth who are they trying to contact?

Roswell Mortician saw debris of unknown origin!
Roswell Mortician saw debris of unknown origin!
Mr. Dennis was a mortician in Roswell, NM. In july 1947, the time of the famous Roswell crash, the mortuary officer from the Roswell Army Airfield called him asking for hermetically sealed infant caskets but never explained why.
Later that day when at the Airfield for an emergency he saw debris of unknown origin.
A nurse, whom he knew, described to him the bodies of extraterrestrials she had just handled at the base.

Starchild Skull - UFO Researcher Memorial - Lloyd Pye
Starchild Skull - UFO Researcher Memorial - Lloyd Pye
The truth is something Lloyd Pye has been searching for his entire life. Born September 7, 1946 in Houma, Louisiana he earned a football scholarship to Tulane University in New Orleans as a Running back and Punter.. He graduated with a B.S. in psychology and from there joined the U.S. Army as a military intelligence specialist.
Pye began writing in 1975, and became a screenwriter in the 1980s. He worked on the TV Series 'Scarecrow and Mrs. King' about a spy and a housewife. In 1995 he transitioned from fiction to non-fiction.
His career as researcher, speaker and author led him to his work with the Star child Skull and since 1999, Lloyd Pye and The Star child Project have studied a 900-year-old human-like skull trying to find answers about it's true origin. That has been his primary focus and in 2011 at the IUFOC he spoke about his about findings.
One of the more frustrating aspects to Pye's work was going up against what he described as the "brainwashing" that goes on in the education system as well as his frustration with breaking beyond the barriers of contemporary science's viewpoints.
Aliens and Nazis undeground in the Antarctic, the true story and documentary of what really happened...

Alien Spacecraft are Hiding in Oceans
Alien Spacecraft are Hiding in Oceans
This show delves into the mountain of reports from the Gulf Breeze, Florida UFO sighting wave of the early 1990s and then looks for possible connections to recent reports from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba of alleged Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) spotted rising from the ocean.
"What secrets lurk in ocean depths? Are there alien forms of intelligent life that occupy the vast volumes of water that constitute our oceans, seas, and lakes? The largest of our oceans, the Pacific, covers 64,000,000 square miles and reaches a depth of 36,198 feet, a depth that no ray of sunlight ever reaches. Could these depths hide alien submarine bases?
Underwater UFOs have been sighted on many occasions lifting out of their submerged depths and taking to the air. In an article entitled "UFOs - at 450 Fathoms," UFO Reporter Ed Hyde told of the sighting made by Dr. R. J. Villela, a Brazilian scientist, who saw a UFO smash through an estimated 40 feet of ice at the South Pole and soar into the sky at amazing speed.
It was author and researcher Dr. Ivan T. Sanderson who suggested that aliens could remain undetected by building their bases beneath the world's oceans. Dr. Sanderson found that by actual count, over 50 percent of the UFO sightings had occurred over, coming from, or plunging into or coming out of water. This includes oceans, seas, lakes, and reservoirs. Of the oceanic UFOs (some term them USOs or Unidentified Submersible Objects), one was tracked by the U.S. Navy near Puerto Rico in 1963. Of course many of these objects have been tracked over Puerto Rico since that time. On a training maneuver, a sonar operator detected a sub aqueous object traveling at over 150 knots! The technicians tracked this object for four days and it maneuvered down to the incredible depth of 27,000 feet. Submarines of 1963 could not dive further than a fraction over a mile into the ocean deeps. What kind of submersible could withstand the tremendous ocean pressures? And how could it overcome the tremendous resistance of water moving at such incredible speeds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNSSPTfaNek&feature=player_embedded

Will Obama's new advisor persuade him to release UFO files?
Podesta, 64, was a White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton and has been Obama's outside advisor since the 2008 presidential election. He also advised former Secretary-of-State Hillary Clinton during her last year in office.
Podesta is the founder and chair of the Center for Equitable Growth Center think-tank created this fall and chair of the Center for American Progress he founded a decade ago.
He will now formally join the White House inner circle for a year as Obama struggles to salvage his unexpectedly difficult second term. Apart from climate change and executive issues, Podesta will also handle Obama's troubled healthcare program.
There is one further fact you might not know about him. Podesta repeatedly urged the US government to declassify at least some 25 year old UFO files which could give scientists a clue as to the real nature of a few unexplained airborne signtings. In 2010, he wrote a foreword to Leslie Kean's "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record".
"I'm skeptical about many things, including the notion that government always knows best, and that the people can't be trusted with the truth. The time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. Presenting the facts, the book includes statements from only the most credible sources, those in a position to know, about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined," Podesta wrote.
Obama, whose approval rating fell 5% in October to below 50%, may well onsider releasing UFO files as a nice way to prop up his sagging popularity.
Ulta silent aircraft as large as a battleship. Top secret goverment craft? UFO? The absolute REALITY of extraterrestrial aircrafdt can no longer be denied.
A mass sighting, which came to be known as the Phoenix Lights is well documented and discussed in this video.
ALIENS ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND!!BEWARE & STAY AWAY & DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY MAY END UP SAYING TO US!!
Si elle se confirme, c'est une découverte qui pourrait avoir d'importantes implications pour la recherche d'une vie extraterrestre dans le système solaire. En examinant des clichés d'Europe, l'une des lunes de Jupiter, réalisés grâce au satellite Hubble à la fin de l'année 2012, des chercheurs du Southwest Research Institute de San Antonio au Texas pensent avoir détecté la présence de deux immenses jets de vapeur d'eau (H2O) s'échappant du pôle sud de ce corps céleste. Des formations décelées, en pratique, sous la forme de deux faisceaux présentant une forte concentration en hydrogène (H) et en oxygène (O) que les chercheurs ont également pu retrouver en réexaminant des clichés de Hubble datant de 1999.
D'après les résultats de leurs recherches récemment publiés dans la revue Science, le phénomène serait intermittent et pourrait être lié aux forces de marées que Jupiter exerce sur son environnement du fait de la gravitation. En effet, les jets semblent varier en intensité et même disparaître, à certains moments, selon que la lune se trouve à un point de son orbite plus ou moins proche de la géante gazeuse. Apparemment propulsés depuis des fissures affectant l'épaisse couche de glace qui recouvre la surface d'Europe, ces geysers s'élèveraient au maximum de leur puissance jusqu'à 200 kilomètres d'altitude dans l'espace, soit deux fois l'épaisseur de l'atmosphère terrestre !
Exploration facilitée
L'intérêt des scientifiques pour Europe n'est pas nouveau. En effet, ils suspectent que sa structure soit relativement similaire à celle de notre planète bleue : un coeur de fer, une croûte rocheuse et surtout, tapi sous la glace, un profond océan salé. Des caractéristiques de nature à en faire l'une des meilleures candidates pour la recherche de la vie dans notre système solaire. Seulement voilà, jusqu'ici toute mission d'exploration des eaux d'Europe pouvant potentiellement abriter la vie semblait relever des douze travaux d'Hercule. La présence de geysers pourrait bien tout changer. Des scientifiques imaginent déjà que des sondes spatiales devraient parvenir à analyser la composition chimique des jets de vapeur pour y déceler d'éventuelles molécules organiques exfiltrées de l'océan subglaciaire de la lune et pouvant signer l'existence d'une vie extraterrestre.
Pour l'heure, la seule mission spatiale prévue permettant éventuellement d'explorer cette nouvelle piste est la mission JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer) de l'Agence spatiale européenne. La sonde spatiale devrait être lancée en 2022 et rejoindre l'orbite de Jupiter en 2030.
.Across ancient civilizations, the world’s mountains were viewed as the sacred home to all-powerful gods. Why would so many different cultures share this belief that mountains had a connection to otherworldly beings? The Greeks believed their most powerful gods, the Olympians, waged an epic war for control of the universe from Mt. Olympus. Ruins of a 4000-year-old observatorydiscovered on a mountain in Macedonia reveal that the ancients tracked celestial movements from on high with remarkable precision. And in Peru, the descendants of the Incans continue an ancient pilgrimage tradition in order to commune with mountain spirits known as Apu. Could these gods have been extraterrestrials? Did they use remote mountain peaks to interact with early man? Might this explain why humans have been drawn to mountains for thousands of years?

Giant Sea Creature Baffles Experts After Washing Up On Shore (Video)
Giant Sea Creature Baffles Experts After Washing Up On Shore (Video)
Another mysterious gigantic sea creature has washed up on shore, this time in the Masaplod Sur village in Dauin, Negros Oriental and it is baffling experts and residents alike. An Italian environmental activist claims it is a “sperm whale,” yet a top official of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in the province, says it isn’t. Fisherman claim the reddish color leads them to believe it is a giant squid.
The sea creature, believed to be 10 meters in diameter with approximately 10 tons in weight.
The remains of this giant sea creature has been transported to the Silliman University Laboratory for further study, according to The Sun Star.
For most people, looking for UFOs is more of a hobby than an actual occupation. Not so forErin Ryder,James FoxandBen McGee, members of a dynamic team starring in the new television series, "Chasing UFOs," that premieres Friday on the National Geographic Channel.
One can imagine the theme music of the old "X-Files" series playing in the heads of Ryder, Fox and McGee as they travel the country looking for the truth behind reported unexplained UFO encounters, alien abduction and military cover-ups.
The three investigators bring different points of view as they chase UFOs.
Ryder, a thrill-seeking adventurer who costars on the Syfy Channel's "Destination Truth" series and also the "Chasing UFOs" tech supervisor and lead researcher, calls herself the "skeliever" of the group -- sort of a half-skeptic, half-believer.
"I couldn't find a word to best describe how I felt my stance was and I really am somewhere between a skeptic and a believer," she told The Huffington Post. "I've always had a fondness for the strange and unusual, and I go on the facts and base my findings from the evidence we collect and the testimonies we hear."
Fox, who is often referred to as a UFOlogist and has produced two previous UFO documentaries, "Out of the Blue" and "I Know What I Saw," is the believer here. "My goal is to create something that is entertaining, yet very informative and also dispels the myth that there's nothing more to UFOs than swamp gas, misidentified aircraft and mass hallucinations," Fox told HuffPost.
McGee, a geologist, field explorer and aerospace consultant, is the scientific skeptic of the group. "This material tends to be so toxic for scientists, so my first impulse was to run for the hills," McGee told HuffPost. "But I believe very strongly in education and science outreach, and I thought this would actually be a vehicle to help engage people in the conversation about our place in the universe and the possibility of extraterrestrial life."
Watch part of episode 1 of "Chasing UFOs," "Texas Is for Sightings."
So, what can viewers expect to see overthe eight-episode arcas the team talks to eyewitnesses, examines photographic evidence and even tries to find their own evidence to present?
In "Chasing UFOs," the investigators visit several states to try to make credible sense of lights spotted in the skies, in cases involving numerous eyewitnesses and photographic evidence, always mindful that most UFO reports can be explained as misidentified conventional aircraft, planets and meteorological phenomena.
One segment brings the team to Roswell, N.M., the location of the legendary, albeit alleged, UFO crash of 1947. Ryder, Fox and McGee visit that famous site with metal detectors and find an old button, shown below, that appears to be from a military uniform or jacket. This, they speculate, might confirm that someone associated with the military had traveled to the field at some point.
But does it prove that a UFO crash landed there? To be fair, no. But the investigators are on the lookout for compelling evidence that some UFOs might indeed be unexplained. Even the smallest pieces of evidence could be parts of the larger puzzle.
"Our job, in many of our programs, is to explore the unknown, and this is a way into a topic that, while it's been done before, we hope it hasn't been done in this particular way," said Michael Cascio, National Geographic Channel's executive vice president of programming.
"UFOs is a topic of endless fascination, not just for me, but for viewers. And we have an opportunity here to look at UFO cases in a format that allows you to go into detail and enjoy the ride as you go," Cascio told HuffPost.
"We dig up as much information as we can and say to the viewer, 'Here's what we've discovered,'" Cascio added. "We also hope that [our team's] personalities come out and that viewers relate to them and find them interesting and entertaining."
Among the subjects of one of the last episodes of the first season of "Chasing UFOs" is something odd that reportedly happened in Brazil's coffee production town of Varginha in 1996 and reported by multiple civilian and military eyewitnesses.
"It's the Roswell of Brazil," said Fox. "An aerial object was spotted coming down and appeared to crash. Within 24 hours, people reported seeing two creatures in the town, which by then had been closed off by the military.
"While nobody actually called them ETs, they were described as 5-foot-tall creatures (see illustration at left) with dark-brown, oily-looking skin, split toes, red eyes and ridges on their skulls, and they were reported looking feeble or weak," Fox added.
"The hardest thing to do is to go and have an open mind and no preconceived notions that will taint the investigation," said Ryder. "To be completely objective is what we try to do and a lot of the time, I still end up in the middle somewhere."
As the scientist of the team, McGee said he's open to investigating any question anyone has and to illustrate the process of what it takes to make a scientific determination.
"We have a social responsibility to try and help people understand what it is up in the sky, even if it is a low-angle star blinking or maybe something exotic," McGee said. "I'd be no less excited if something truly strange ended up being upper atmospheric electrical phenomena we don't know about yet."
Paranormal TV shows. They’ve been around for years, entertaining audiences with stories and videos from all parts of the unknown. But the show that really took this genre of TV show to the next level of popularity was “Ghost Hunters” on the Syfy network. Whether you hate it or love it, you can’t deny the impact it had on paranormal TV. Ever since then, many networks have tried to come up with their own paranormal show in hopes they can recreate the boom “Ghost Hunters” had. Travel Channel has the very popular “Ghost Hunters” staring Zak Bagan’s and his two friends where they hunt ghosts by themselves without any camera crew with them. The show even today is STILL popular (I even watch it). But as the years went on, these kind of shows have become progressively worse. Now, TV’s newest paranormal show hoping to rake in the ratings is non-other than National Geographic’s “Chasing UFOs”. A show were three people go around the US trying to capture evidence of UFOs ranging from interviewing key witnesses or even hunting the UFOs out at night. The best way to describe the show is it’s a mix of “Ghost Hunters”, “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files”, and even a bit of “Destination Truth”. The only problem, it fails in EVERY way possible to the point where you’ll either be laughing your ass off or face palming the entire time. So, let’s get on with the review!NOTE: I watched the first 2 episodes of the series, so my opinion is based off of what Icould bear saw.
National Geographic Chasing UFOs S01 E05 Abducted In Arizona
1) The episode structure. OK, so what is a typical episode like? Well, each episode follows or team of investigators.
Ryder, the only female of the group who is a tech and recon expert. She is what she calls a “Skeliever” a mix of a skeptic and a believer.
Ben, who is the physical scientist of the group. He is the skeptic of the group.
James, who is the UFO expert of the group, or “ufologist”. He is the believer.
So those are our three members. Now, let’s talk about how the episode usually plays out. It usually starts with the three looking at some video evidence from a local area (i.e. a small town in Texas) and then interviewing witnesses, then doing a night time hunt (which doesn’t make sense to me), then they do more day time research and then back to night time hunts and then the episode ends with each of the member’s thoughts on the whole case.
OK, so let me critique. The problem with the show is that once you find out the show has a pattern for each episode, it becomes REALLY boring to watch. Now granted all shows of this nature have a pattern, but those at least shake things up every episode. The two episodes I watched were almost IDENTICAL to each other in terms of when they captured their own evidence and so forth. It’s also worth noting that you can tell the three of them are acting. From the obviously forced jokes between each other to the way they react to witness testimony. Out of all of them, James has to be my favorite. Not because he says things that make sense, but because of how he treats the others. He loves to very subtly make fun of the other two and doesn’t seems like he really wants to be there. Also, Ryder while she seems like she’s suppose to be a smart/tough/sexy woman says some really dumb that don’t seem like she’s really the one saying it. For instance, in the first episode, they are all looking into the crash of a UFO back in 1891 in Texas. Ryder suggests that they go to the crash sight and look for debris from the crash. Wait, the crash happened in 1891, how would there be PHYSICAL EVIDENCE over 100 years later?! It would be impossible. It’s hilarious to watch because of unprofessional it all is and it’s surprising that National Geographic airs this kind of stuff on their channel now in place of the old educational stuff about the world and it’s history. But in this day and age, it’s not about content, it’s all about ratings, and this doesn’t seem to have the potential to be a ratings grabber.
2) Behind the scenes stuff. OK, so in the second half of this review, I’d like to talk about the behind the scenes stuff about the show such as the music and the editing. Music wise, it’s OK. The main theme is completely forgettable to be honest. I can’t even remember it right now and I literally JUST got done watching the show. But who cares about that, what about the music throughout the show. It tries to be suspenseful and keep you excited, but it fails. Forgettable in my opinion, but when your listening to it its OK. The editing is pretty standard, nothing bad nothing good. They do use sound effects and it’s apparent they are sound effects and it’s a pretty cheap ploy to get suspense up. Overall score of the behind the scenes stuff: 5/10
So what are my overall thoughts. I think the show is VERY bad. The three people are bad at what they do almost to the point of being annoying, the pattern of the show is VERY predictable and never shakes things up to where it feels like it’s at least semi-new, and just the overall unprofessional attitude from the whole crew just make for a bad TV show that probably won’t last long. It tries to be like “UFO Hunters” but with a twist, and since in my opinion “UFO Hunters” was already a great show, this show is a flop. Overall score: 2/10 I say watch the first episode if you want to laugh, but after that you’ll just be slumped in your seat asking, “When is this over?” To me, this show is WORSE than Fact or Faked, and I think you all know how I feel about that show.
So that’s my “review” of “Chasing UFOs”. I hope you enjoyed it!
