A real weather expert could have punctured this balloon (another possibility) in a flash. It looks like a Chinese lantern drifting on the eddies of a city breeze. There’s video of a small light dancing and drifting down into the city at one point, and no one is here to suggest it could be anything but “alien” in nature. What ALL of these UFO films desperately need is hard scientific push-back. if it was true.”Īnd a few of “the usual suspects” among UFO researchers, here and from Brazil, weigh in, adding more and more hearsay onto the layers of it we’ve seen (illustrated recreations) and heard, couching it as “expertise.” “There’s nothing more significant than THIS story…. “Allegedly” gets used more in the latter parts of “Moment of Contact” than in the early scenes. Instead, the hype goes on, with Fox and sometimes, by extension, Coyote, breathlessly referring to this or that fresh witness having “disappeared…for 26 years.” No, they (allegedly) just didn’t do media interviews about what they say they saw.įox disciplines himself to equivocate, here and there. Perhaps he wouldn’t have liked their answer.
And no effort to document or confirm that claim is made, no attempt to get NORAD on the record.
A cardiologist who treated the dying man appears on camera to verify that as the only close-to-concrete evidence that the film has in it.īut we’re told, in the opening narration, that NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) warned Varginha that something was headed there/happening there.
The sister of a policeman who allegedly “captured” an alien who died within days of holding the creature in his arms waves a medical report that mentions (supposedly) an “unidentified toxin,” but this is skimmed-over briefly. He landed Peter Coyote as his films’ narrator with “The Phenomenon,” and Coyote’s back here, working “allegedly” into the narration just enough to not kill his association with real historian/documentarian Ken Burns. The most generous way to characterize Fox’s nakedly exploitive films is that they’re all part of an “ongoing investigation,” that he’s poking around at famous UFO landmarks, dramatically breaking locks to get to an “encounter” site, struggling to ask one question (a REALLY stupid one) of a threatening, armed and standoffish man allegedly involved in transporting an alien from a hospital to a military base with a goal in mind.Īlas, that goal seems no closer at the end of each and every credulous, lazy, over hyped documentary. The other is that I was able to get my eyes to return to normal from rolling that far back in my head. One is that Fox’s nose didn’t grow and sprout Pinocchio leaves. Two miracles can be associated with that moment and that line. She did.Īt one point, the producer of “UFOs: 50 Years of Denial,” the director of “I Know What I Saw” and the slightly-more-credible “The Phenomenon” walks away from one more credulous, zero-skepticism interview, and gushes “I didn’t believe” this “event” really happened “when I first came here,” but NOW… I mean, his nephew’s girlfriend saw things.
#Fox 10 alien news tv#
There are no photographs, no “crash” debris, not even local TV coverage at the time provided much more than what some folks told interviewers then who repeat their stories for Fox and crew 26 years later, about what they saw.įox has an eyewitness take us to a non-descript piece of land, where, after some hunting around, he shouts (in Portuguese with English subtitles) “It was here! HERE!”įox interviews the current mayor of Varginha, and asks him the same loaded and pointless question he peppers young people on the street with - “Do you believe” that a UFO crashed here, that there were survivors, that the military perhaps with US help, spirited them away?Ībsolutely, the mayor of a city with a UFO monument and saucer-shaped museum says. There is no “concrete” evidence that what happened in January of 1996 in the city of Varginha, Brazil was caused by an alien spacecraft, well, none that’s presented in director James Fox‘s latest UFO documentary, “Moment of Contact.”
