Hi Mike, Many within the UFO community have been aware of the Jennings program for some time now. I also gather that most of them have expressed disappointment in the show's apparent lack of interest in pursuing the important issues. I was informed by one principal UFO investigator that the producers repeatedly showed no interest in interviewing controversial individuals that might have had something interesting to say on the subject. The producers of this documentary were given contact information, but apparently they refused to follow-up on these leads. Who were some of these potential interviewees? Former presidents: Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Of course, I could be pleasantly surprised. However at this point I'm not going to be holding my breath hoping anything of real substance will come from this "documentary". I suspect the show's ultimate intent will be to titillate the public's interest and then divert their interest in the direction of dead-ends and wild goose chases. It is likely to be nothing more than SOP. It often turns out to be more useful to look in the opposite direction from where all the hype is being focused on.
