The UFO Conspiracy (2004 Video) User Reviews

A truly interesting thesis, compelling and well-executed

[calcaylor · 7/10 · 16 September 2012]

I am no expert in UFOs, etc. so maybe I am just demonstrating my naiveté but I found this video truly engaging. As a Christian, I've already heard the assertion this video makes and it was clear from the summary I read on the website, Christiancinema.com, this video supported the same assertion. (avoiding Spoilers here). However, the film gives quite a case history of UFO sightings, showing several eyewitness accounts and different US government papers asserting their existence and not saying they all sightings are explainable as natural phenomena. I fully expected a talking head lecture so I was pleasantly surprised.

As a matter of fact, most of the video is devoted to making a case for the "realness" of UFOs. But it does not do as well in making their case for their assertion and, unfortunately, really resorted to fear tactics to achieve the aim of the video: that is, to convince people that we should not embrace UFOlogy, to avoid it and to believe it has far more sinister origins and intentions than may be apparent. They may well be right in their assertion and it is probably too difficult to "prove" it.

I think as a believer, though, you understand that ideas and philosophies at odds with a historical view of the Christian faith are virtually part and parcel of the UFO experience. So the filmmakers were really aiming at believers who were uncertain about what to think about UFOs or, say, what to tell their children. So, in that, I think the filmmakers really did succeed. And those who believe such negative assessments about UFOlogy are rubbish, would not likely be watching this video anyway.

Deception is out there, and it's not from outer space

Although I was already familiar with a lot of the info contained in this classic video (I did learn, however, of there being two more officially termed types of 'close encounters' in addition to the common four), if I had to pick just one documentary on UFOs to show to someone just getting interested in this subject, this elementary lesson on video would be it. It is one of the better ones, among a slew of UFO docs in existence -- with this one being well-presented and convincing...however culturally yet courageously unpopular in its argument.

Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is, there is much deception out there surrounding this topic, both informationally and on a spiritual level, which is why readers, listeners, and viewers can't go too wrong when reading, listening to, or viewing content presented by those who adhere to a biblical perspective, as with this video, considering the reputation of Christians for being veracious (in spite of being innocently misled in some of their other beliefs).

Still, one doesn't have to be a Bible-believer to come to the same conclusions that many who are do with regard to the UFO. Consider that non-Christian ufologist Jacques Vallee (author of "Messengers of Deception") and the agnostic paranormal investigator John Keel have both candidly expressed very similar findings; the latter, famously comparing ufology to demonology.

Clearly, based on all the evidence, what we are dealing with are not interplanetary/interstellar 'space visitors' (such talk but an extension of Big Bangster bunk) but something more resembling an occult manifestation -- with its modern origins said to be the result of a rending of a dimensional curtain, brought on by a mid 20th-century invocation, conducted by men fond of Aleister Crowley and associated with a certain well-known and propagandistic space agency.

If one can overlook the video's mythological view of the universe, with its erroneous asides as to the vastness of space and man having landed on the Moon, THE UFO CONSPIRACY is well worth watching -- with thought-provoking references to UFO sighting reports dating back to ancient history, to the time of Alexander the Great and later Christopher Columbus, and at least one by a fairly recent US president. We also get to hear from the late and highly knowledgeable researcher Dave Hunt, who warns of the dangers of hypnosis and meditation as they relate to UFOs and so-called 'alien' abductions; specifically, how these practices are often used for the purposes of indoctrination and ultimately mind-control (by those within the intelligence community and/or otherworldly entities).

Considering how in recent years various national governments throughout the world are finally -- and, some would say, coincidentally -- admitting to the reality of the UFO/UAP phenomenon, THE UFO CONSPIRACY certainly makes for a timely and most illuminating viewing.

Informative with a strange, religious agenda

[mexicanscotsman · 5/10 · 2 June 2019]

The first three quarters of this UFO documentary runs fairly straight forward, giving a broad overview of the UFO phenomena with various well documented cases. The last quarter of this film, however, turns the issues toward the Judeo-Christian realm, making scriptural arguments for extraterrestrials and the UFO phenomena as demonic events and entities. I'm not really sure who the intended target audience was for this film. There are much better UFO docs to watch that don't contain a Christian bias. That being said, this isn't a poorly produced film by any means, but be aware that the primary message of this film seems to be that aliens and related phenomena should be treated as Biblically evil. Probably not the best mentality to have when greeting foreign visitors. It has a painfully narrow, archaic Inquisition feel. I found it curious, and a bit sad, that these people felt a desperate need to squish the UFO phenomena into their religious belief system. Perhaps it could best be summed up as a case study in the small mindedness of man.
