UFO tales are always really about something else. They may serve as a hope for someone to come and make peace on earth, or a way of dealing with childhood trauma (abductions). Often they are a part of bigger belief system of conspiracies. People who believe in ufos, usually don't trust the government either.
In this show, these people get to tell their tales without being challenged. Debunked theories about aliens building the pyramids aren't opposed at all. The narrator is fueling the fire.
Life on other planets may exist, but are they visiting us? Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. This show provides the usual photographic artefacts that can be given more ordinary explanations than ufos.
This show shows the importance of critical thinking. Without it you will draw the easiest conclusion that supports your existing belief. Everything becomes a nail if all you've got is a hammer.
I'd recommend people to read Carl Sagan's sobering book mentioned in my title. He had a good balance of scepticism and open-mindedness many can benefit from applying themselves.
