If you like learning about UFO's you'll like this episode
!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!

This is about the third or fourth episode dealing with UFOs (UFO's Austrailia, UFOs, UFO Abductions). This time around the focus of the episode deals with UFO coverups or more specifically the possibility of UFO coverups by the government.

There is real footage of alleged UFOs being shown but also interviews with Air Force personel including a report on USAF Project Bluebook which was built to talk about UFO sightings. As the episode progress, Leonard Nimoy tells us or shows us that Project Bluebook seemed to be more about debunking UFO sightings than investigating them.

The project was shut down in late sixties, early seventies. However, since then despite the military's stance on UFOs, the belief in UFOs still exist. One part that is never really debunked but explored here in depth is why areas that alleged had no UFO activity show evidence of possible changes in the atmosphere. Over the years as well, a couple of UFO witnesses have suffered mysterious lifethreatning diseases after being in contact with alleged UFOs. The show also has a decent interview with UFO author Ray Fowler.

The famous Roswell incident is also revisited with an interview with former Major Marcel.

This episode though is great at looking at both the Pros and Cons of UFos and at the end Nimoy seems to imply that UFOs might exist but on the flip side that perhaps UFO incidents are exaggerated.

In the end, it's a decent discussion about UFO coverups.
