Don Schmidt is useless in this video. It's apparent he didn't want to participate. If I ever thought he had some validity this video pretty much negates it. That he got caught up in the obviously fake alien slides thing is pure comedy. Then there's Jaime Mausson. He's an outright hoaxster whose popular report with his audiences is a bigger mystery than Roswell. The only value here I'd say is it reveals Schmidt and Mausson as being major parts of the UFO community's fruit-cake segment. This was kind of a miss except for calling out some would be P.T. Barnums of the UFO world and the precious few credible witness comments related to the Roswell crash

Don't waste your time

Fake reviews are bad enough but this film/docu is absolute garbage. Covering the same old facts twisting the comments with leading questions and it all leads to no new facts or information, wasted 80 min of my life watchinng this, hoping there would be some new information, alas they offer nothing new just the same old stories.
An excellent account of one of Ufology's biggest embarrassments

Warning: Spoilers
Cosmic Whistleblowers is an excellent documentary concerning Simon Sharman's encounters with several high profile UFO researchers. His objective is to try and discover the truth about the alleged UFO crash at Roswell in 1947, but this becomes a fascinating entanglement with the announcement, by aforementioned researchers, that they have photographic proof of an alien body recovered from Roswell and their subsequent unveiling to the world. These are what became known as the infamous Roswell slides, one of the biggest embarrassments in Ufological history. Sharman's film is a tightly made and riveting watch as he finds that even the most famous and respected of investigators can be guilty of the most monumental cock-ups with, perhaps, not the best interests of the subject at heart. Thoroughly recommended.
Interesting interviews with the best in UFO field, excellent documentary

I've seen a lot of UFO documentaries but I've never seen any other film focus on the UFO 'experts'. This film is very different and a real eye opener. The unexpected ending tells you everything you need to know about this subject. Trust no one, including the so called experts!
Interesting. Thought provoking.

A fascinating incite into the world of the UFO.
Cannot understand what the US Government has to hide by revealing the truth about what happened in 1947.
Maybe with such a fundamental change in the political system that Donald Trump will bring to Washington we may get to know things that have been kept from us over the years.
My score would have been 10 if the film had actually succeeded in doing what it set out to do and that was to reach a conclusion.
Regrettably the truth still eludes us and may never be told.
I enjoyed the film and it will be the basis for conversations over dinner for a while to come.
