UFO (1970)
The campy yet brilliant pinnacle of Gerry Anderson's fun TV Sci Fi Inagination
I believe that this was the first Gerry Anderson TV show that utilized real actors and not marionettes. It depicts an international anti-UFO organization hidden deep below a British movie studio. Each show involves a chess-like interplay between the aliens, a dying race who come to Earth allegedly to scavenge human body parts and re-incorporate them to enhance their own survival. Ed Bishop, one of the Orion moon-ship pilots from 2001, A Space Odyssey, plays the embattled director, Commander Ed Straker, complete with a platinum-blonde wig which makes him look a little like one of Anderson's marionettes from an earlier show. Is this show campy...Yes ...Is the acting Emmy quality?...No ...But it still is so much fun to watch. There are well-thought-out spaceships, flying subs and the best model-made UFO to date in my mind. The moon-base girls are sexy in a very tongue-in-cheek kind of way with purple hair and skin-tight foil mini- skirt uniforms. And if you place it back in the context of late 60's early 70's technology...it's damn imaginative and simple fun! Loved this show as a kid and still occasionally enjoy taking in a Youtube episode. Many thanks to the late brilliant producer/creator Gerry Anderson!
Uncovering Aliens (2013)
A Genuine Fraud or just STUPID
FRAUD or JUST PLAIN STUPID
I just watched one of their shows on Discovery Science. The one where they declared 'unworldly' a piece of metal found on the driveway of an alleged abductee from rural Ohio. They have it tested. It is aluminum with some silicon and traces of strontium. The lab tech declares the sample as unknown origin. The group deduces that the sample is 'evidence' that the alleged abduction was real. A DUMB alternative was found after literally 2 minutes that I spent on Google Scholar
a patent for an aluminum forging process that uses silicon and guess what?
HA!

Discovery Science follows the dictum, "no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American (now the WEB)public." IDIOTS I'm sorry
