UFO series and Movies

In this article I share the name of some series and films about UFOs, however I divulge only those films that approach Ufology with some seriousness. I've had enough of series like "X-Files" that sometimes rub the idiocy with stories of monsters and lizardmen, or movies like "Alien" that like others only show horrible monsters wanting to destroy humanity after some American hero explodes the UFO with a nuclear bomb.

So, let's focus on educational series and films ok?

Series:

Taken: From 2002
Miniseries on Government conspiracies and UFOs, aired in 2002 on the SyFy channel, won the Emmy award for best miniseries, was produced by Steven Spielberg.

Not to be confused with the 2017 "Taken" police series.

"Project Blue Book". 2019

Obviously like any series, it has to have a bit of fiction, but this excellent series from NBC addresses UFO cases that really happened, and with some seriousness, in addition the name Project Blue Book was the real name of a Ufo research and cover-up program by the USAF (United States Air Force).

This series will have a second season.

Success has been guaranteed and NBC is said to be preparing another UFO series, entitled "Debris".

Movies:

1993: "Fire in the Sky".

Based on the true story of a UFO incident. Based on the book The Walton Experience, written by Travis Walton, the film tells the true story of Travis Walton's abduction.

In 1975, in Arizona, a woodcutter is hit by a mysterious light and, before some friends, was abducted and remains missing for several days. When he reappears, he doesn't remember where he was, but little by little the memories of the experience come to the surface.

1998: "Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County".

A film considered category B, of low budget, but sometimes this type of films surprises with a very good story.

The film made by Dean Alioto was made for TV (and not intended for cinemas), in the style of Blair Witch the film shocks because it looks so real, some believe that the filming is real and the director tried to create a film with them. In the cabin of a missing family, a policeman finds an amateur video tape that shows the moments of terror experienced by the family. One of the boys, who wants to be a film director, always carries his camera with him and, when a power failure occurs, the brothers go to investigate and end up with aliens who had just landed.

2004: "The Forgotten".

Despite a lot of fiction, the film has interesting points, for example the energetic emotional connection of mothers to children who were taken by extraterrestrials, even if they are no longer here on Earth, a connection that extraterrestrials could not understand. It also shows how the Government deals with the cover up of extraterrestrial abduction cases, it cannot prevent or overcome the extraterrestrials, only cooperate and cover up.

In the story Telly Paretta, a mother who suddenly discovers that her eight-year-old son has disappeared completely. Nobody remembers the boy's existence, not even her husband. But when she finds out that the father of one of her son's friends has gone through the same experience, Telly embarks on a mission to find her son at any cost.

2009: "Fourth Kind".

It refers to immediate encounters of the fourth degree.

Produced by Olatunde Osunsanmi. In my opinion one of the most intelligent films on the UFO theme.

It has very realistic scenes, in one of the scenes that the man levitates in the bed possessed, intelligently associate the phenomena that we understand as paranormal to the UFO phenomena (they may be related) and when he channels a message with the voice of the extraterrestrials they seem to imply which are the Anunnaki that the Sumerians referred to as gods. Another interesting detail; in Alaska there is, in fact, a lot of UFO cases.

2014: "Alien Abduction".

Another "amateur" style film directed by Matty Beckerman. A family on vacation is lost and the patriarch disappears. The mother and children seek refuge in a hut and discover that the place is known for numerous cases of alien abduction. When seeking help, mysterious beings try to capture them.

2014: "Extraterrestrial".

I liked this film made by Colin Minihan, despite having a lot of fiction (scene inside the UFO etc.), it reveals the dangers of extraterrestrial abduction and how the Army deals with witnesses. There is also an interesting scene that shows the extraterrestrial mentally influencing one of the policeman. April went with a group of friends to a cabin in the forest, then a UFO crashed and when extraterrestrials appear (on another ship) abduct them.

2015: "Area 51".

Another amateur-style film, directed by Oren Peli, a group of young people (Chris, Rob, Natalie and Paul) are trying to sneak into the famous Area 51. Despite some critics on the internet (who write negative reviews without even reasoning), the film has a very interesting technical detail when one of the young people enters a UFO. I will not reveal so as not to spoil anyone who wishes to see the film, but this technical detail is based on real descriptions such as details revealed by Robert Lazar (a Physicist who worked in Area 51).

2015: "The Phoenix Incident".

Another amateur-style film, made by Keith Arem, but is based on reports of real UFO sightings in Phoenix (Phoenix Lights, Arizona), obviously has fiction: interesting UFO scenes taking down B2 bombers, but at the beginning of the film they show some real UFO video clips (one of them filmed by Air Force pilots).

2017: "Phoenix Forgotten".

Another film based on the UFO sightings in Phoenix. Produced by Justin Barber, with a budget of 3 million.

Twenty years after three teenagers disappeared following mysterious lights in Arizona, images never seen before that night are discovered, reporting the last hours of that fateful expedition. The film has interesting scenes of strange lights and abductions.

2017: "The Gracefield Incident".

Produced by Mathieu Ratthe. Another amateur "found footage" style film. The film was more than three years to be released, due to lack of budget. Three couples went to spend a weekend in a forest house in Gracefield, it seems that a small meteorite fell, then a strange being begins to kidnap them all.
