Rating: Summary: engaging low fi documentary Review: My copy of Pilot UFO Sightings took six weeks to arrive, and it came without a standard DVD plastic case. Instead, it came in a paper sleeve. Upon playing the DVD for the first time, I was kind of disappointed with the low fi quality of the whole production. The visual graphics seem to have been created at some out of the way cable start up in Helena, Montana circa 1984! They're almost laughable. The DVD sound quality also suffers at times.
I only began to enjoy Pilot UFO Sightings when the NASA Propellerhead Dr. Richard F. Haines was given ample time to go into an in-depth explanation of some of the more well documented pilot encounters(for example, the Japan Airlines cargo plane incident over Alaska in 1986.) Haines is an entertaining lecturer, and he will no doubt keep you interested as he explains precisely why experienced pilots are some of the most qualified observers of aerial phenomena. Haines isn't long winded if you begin to follow his line of reasoning,and the documentary allows him to exposulate without unnecessary obtrusive cut aways to flashy visuals.
In all, this low budget production stands in stark contrast to the latest generation of fast paced, low on content, Discovery Channel type productions. And in a way, it's refreshing for that very characteristic. As an extra added bonus, the producer has included cockpit transmissions of pilots in the very process of observing UFO's. Some of the audio is hard to discern, so subtitles are provided at the bottom of the screen. I especially enjoyed the pilot to control tower conversations, and I will be passing them on to a friend who is eager to sample them and to incorporate them into some experimental dub house music. In short, if you're a UFO enthusiast, this DVD will be a fine addition to your collection.
Rating: Summary: Piece of Junk Review: I recieved this DVD with no box just the DVD in a plastic slip cover and taped to a piece of cardboard inside the shipping box.
Then when I tried to play it...it repeatedly froze up.
What idiot shipped this DVD to me in this manner?
Amazon is refunding my money. But save yours and stay away from this DVD!
Rating: Summary: The Best DVD bar none on Pilot UFO Sightings! Review: This is one of the freshest topics I have seen in many years on hte whole UFO topic. It takes a fresh approach to the UFO matter by exploring commercial pilots that have seen UFOs! It is narrated and presented by Dr. Richard F. Haines-NASA Research Scientist and features pilots Captain Neil Daniels-United Airlines,& Capt. Phil Shultz-Trans World Airlines.This is some of the most convincing UFO evidence I have yet seen that UFOs are REAL and need to be taken way more seriously!
