UFOs:
50 Years of Denial?
1997 Documentary
|
|
Winner,
1997 EBE Award for Best UFO Documentary, International
UFO Congress Film Festival.
We’ve
been told what happened 50 years ago…but what’s
happened since? From the crash of an alien
craft near Roswell to the top-secret base at Area
51, this film surveys the history of reported UFO
sightings. UFOs: 50 YEARS OF DENIAL? exposes
the controversy surrounding a possible government
collusion to hide evidence of flying saucers for
reasons of security. It also examines the theological
implications of extraterrestrials on the world’s
religions and takes a look at how UFOs have been
represented in art throughout history. UFOs:
50 YEARS OF DENIAL? was the first documentary
created by the same team, led by Executive Producer
James Fox, that made OUT OF THE BLUE.

| “Because
of the development of science, all countries
on Earth will have to unite to survive and to
make a common front against attack by people
from other planets. The politics of the future
will be cosmic, or interplanetary.”

can assure you that flying saucers, given they
exist, are not constructed by any power on earth.”

| “When
the long awaited solution to the UFO problem
comes, I believe that it will prove to be not
merely the next small step in the march of science,
but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum
leap.” |

|
| “…I
made an effort to find out what was in the building
at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the
information is stored that has been collected
by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied
this request. It is still classified above Top
Secret.” |
| Senator
Barry Goldwater |
| In
a letter dated March 28, 1975 |
|
| “The
evidence points to the fact that Roswell was
a real incident and that indeed an alien craft
did crash, and that material was recovered from
that crash site. They haven’t kept it a
secret… It has been leaking out to the
public for 50 years or more…”
