On the Trail of UFOs

Other reviewers have commented on the narrating style of the host which is in a fairly dull monotone. This is true, and it does detract slightly from the content, but the actual tone of her voice has also been poorly adjusted so only the lower frequencies are present making her sound quite muffled.

There is little if any new content here and I find it odd that a lot of developments or claims that have surfaced are not substantiated at all. For example, in the first episode there are some experts interviewed who state that "at one time the government denied the existence of UFO's but now they accept and admit that they exist" (I'm paraphrasing) but really! I've never heard any government admission of this fact and if there is surely should be included in the program since its about UFO's and in particular, peoples attitudes to them in the current era. They mention that president Reagan and then president Clinton referenced them (whilst briefly flashing up two second video clips of them speaking - with no audio) but no quotes, statements or specific references to this claim are included at all!

There were several instances in the episodes I watched where supposed information now 'common knowledge' should be taken for granted, but with no actual detail about this information other than the program's says so. No references as to who, what or how this information is substantiated. This is ridiculous. I have no interest in hearsay, I get enough of that on social media. If your going to make a UFO program and claim the definitive on certain information, please state clearly how, who and why it has come to be known or I will find these claims unacceptable. Needless to say I stopped watching after the third episode.

It's a bit of a shame as I liked the slightly different and refreshingly objective angle this program initially seemed to be taking, but ultimately it's simply more of the same.

Based on what it actually offers, and the few but significant shortcomings, I can't recommend this program and as such give it 3 stars.

It would be sooo less distracting if Shannon Legro would STOP reading everything she is narrating. Horrible .... she really needs to learn how to read commentary where it does not sound so dry and totally from a script...please, please never use her again...just terrible.

If you're here in 2020 watching this and hoping to see new video, stories, photos... you're out of luck. It's just the same ol repeated info you've already seen and heard 10 times now if you watch any UFO documentary.

It's well done, just nothing new... I couldn't finish the season.

Nowadays, good quality camera gear is so inexpensive that any tattooed hipster with a goatee can make his own show about UFO's, Sasquatches or the paranormal, but the problem is, it's all been done before, and actually done much better, and that was even way back in the 1970's. This show is pretty boring and about 90% filler. ALL the stories have been told, we ALL know about the stories these guys are rehashing. There is no need for anyone to EVER mention Roswell or Area 51 EVER again in a documentary. If a hipster dude really wants to hit the big time, then they're going to have to learn patience, which I doubt any of them have, and actually go out into the forests or deserts or wherever, with all their fancy camera gear and then hunker down for a year, DAY & NIGHT, and actually WAIT to record footage of ACTUAL ufo's, because THAT is what EVERYONE is expecting and wanting to see now, and for the first time in history, people can actually get their hands on fantastic cameras and don't have to pay ANYTHING to get film developed and all those massive expenses of yesterday year, so what are they waiting for? If you want to make a blockbuster and open the worlds eyes, then just go out there and do it! But please, no more of these kinds of lame rehashing shows. They've simply been done to death.

This is an interesting documentary except for the music, which is too loud, too often, and not very good. I frequently couldn't hear the commentary because of the stupid, punctuating, 'garage band' music! The story creates the interest and then the music should be like water running through rocks - everything must work together. Adding music to create false sensationalism is mindless and, quite frankly, very boring. Sorry.
