Many people think of the UFO phenomenon as a recent thing, but truthfully, humans have been seeing strange things in the sky since we've been looking up. Long before Kenneth Arnold saw his flying saucers, people have been recording strange aerial phenomena. Most of it is explainable. But...there is always a percentage of these objects which defy explanation. Now, the skeptic might be inclined to brush it off, but modern skepticism seems to have become less about facts and more about idealogy and defense of a world view. That is the point of this documentary, one of several produced by filmmaker James Fox.
Not so much about the skeptical position on this subject, though it is mentioned. The point is the sheer level of sane, sober professional types, especially those who know about things in the sky, have intimate knowledge about what flies as far as human knowledge goes and have a good idea what is outside those boundaries. Others, like police officers and the like, are trained at observation and accurately recalling what they have seen.
James Fox has a series of documentaries out about this, along these lines. This one especially notes a case dealing with a formation of lights belonging to a wedge shaped object soaring above the cityscape of Phoenix, Arizona. I remember this case being reported on CNN.
This is some amazing stuff. If you buy into the phenomenon or are at least open to some amazing stories, this is worth your time.
