Interesting investigative journalism on the subject
Seen the first four episodes so far.
It's a bit repetitive as the information is literally repeated over and over. But each episode is interesting and keeps us waiting for the next.
Surprised to see Tom deLonge in there.

A worthwhile show for any level-headed skeptic or conspiracy theorist
The credibility of the investigators and witnesses makes the show worthwhile. I've always cringed when hearing people talk about UFOs. Fortunately, this isn't nonsensical rhetoric being promoted by a sketchy weirdo with a sloppy mullet and a beat up suit. It's lead by a group of top government officials from a wide range of backgrounds. If you visit To The Stars Academy's website, you'll learn that the show's investigators have worked in high-level positions at the CIA, NASA, Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, DoD, etc.
However, there are times the show can be repetitive with information and somewhat flashy. Nevertheless, this is to keep new viewers up-to-date with the previous information and to provide a visual description of what military servicemembers have witnessed.
Overall, I would recommend just about anyone to give this show a chance.
For conspiracy theorists: this show will encourage you to think logically and rationally about data rather than blindly accepting nonsensical information and promoting it as factual. It will help you gauge this topic in a logical manner that prevents you from going 0 to light speed with respect to jumping to conclusions.
For skeptics: this show will encourage you to further gauge a taboo topic that's usually ridiculed. It will provide thought-provoking information in a logical pattern. The investigators put all of their data under a microscope of scrutiny and gladly debunk fictitious information.
Therefore, I highly encourage any level-headed skeptic or conspiracy theorist to watch this show. The investigators aren't forcefully promoting the idea of extraterrestrial life or any other conspiracies. In fact, their goal is to understand the empirical details of the data presented to them and alert the public of suspicious anomalies. I thoroughly enjoy the show for this reason.

Overall a good show, including some great interviews
Underrated from an unknown reason
Those people deserve a medal for the sacrifice of their careers and the professional investigation they conducted in order to bring the public the truth.
I heard about this show only after the US government approved that the videos presented in this show are legitimate. And yet, it's incomprehensible to me how some viewers could simply disregard everything that was presented in front of them. Are you so afraid of the truth? Or are you simply incapable of a little flexibility in your view of the world? Even if the videos weren't confirmed to be true, even if there weren't any videos the events presented in this show are extremely credible. You have multiple people telling the same thing, you have their names and faces, you have politician and people of power being interviewed on the subject. A simple google search will show you that those people are real. Even if you're not a trusting person you might assume that a few of them were lying (though I don't think so), you might assume that some didn't remember correctly, or that they're exaggerating, or that maybe there was a malfunction in some of the machines (like radars) but it's impossible for a logical person to dismiss every single one of the eye witness accounts under those reasons. If you're doing this you WANT to stay asleep. Then this show is not for you and you shouldn't have watched it to begin with.
Another thing that baffles me is the complain of some viewers about the video quality and the absurd notion that it makes the whole thing less credible. What did you expect? Did you think a pilot will take out his smart phone in the middle of the flight and start taking pictures? Those videos are of an infra-red video camera that's built in those air crafts. It has a function - and that function is to detect other air crafts to help the pilot. It doesn't need to have high resolution, sharp image, color or any other thing you might think it should have because your phone has it. It does have other functions that your phone doesn't have and never will have.
In short, the people who brought us this series deserve much more recognition and this show needs to be watched by as many people as possible. When it comes to documentaries it doesn't get any more professional than this.

Cutting edge
For what this show is.. It's cutting edge IMO. What this show means to each and every viewer is up to the viewer but my feeling is the topic itself (and all the topics that will spin off) should and probably will become of importance to us, collectively, some time (soon i hope) in the future.

Biased viewers
While I personally think this presents credible evidence and especially credible experts (including Lockheed veterans who refuse to answer or address certain questions), people who believe UFO's are just bunk probably aren't going to be swayed because they already have their minds made up. I'm not the kind of person who thinks every mysterious light in the sky is a UFO, or even necessarily that UFO's means ET's; just that there are unexplainable encounters and government deception. I mean, Ancient Aliens is one of the most absurd and far fetched show I've ever seen.
One reviewer cited the poor quality of the video(s), saying there were high quality cameras when the videos were shot. Perhaps he wasn't paying attention (he specifically mentions the military), but the videos were shot w the IR tracking cameras on jets. They're not exactly 4K HD - not even smartphone quality. These aren't spy planes, they're fighter jets where the cameras are for tactical & targeting/radar purposes. Some people will dismiss any evidence, no matter how legitimate or compelling, simply because it goes against their already formed views. Those people are obviously going to give this show a low rating.
The show is targeted at people who have an open mind and want to know more about the subject. For major UFO buffs, it probably has repeat information, but for me there was definitely some new information. I mean, what do military personnel have to gain by coming forward and sharing their experiences. Some even go to lengths to conceal their identities for fear of repercussions.

Wanted More As Teasers Promised
I'm pretty worn out by being interested in UFO docs and shows. By the 2010's it was pretty much junk journalism and continuously re-hashed events and the same old talking head inserts. With the revelation by The New York Times about the government's ATIP program and actual military video as teased by the promos for this show I thought "finally, something new and tangible". While it's true the show does present this stuff and backs it up with some of the actual military witnesses there is one big annoying thing. It revisits the same two naval training events in which the videos were made over and over to the point of insulting the viewer's patience. I watched each episode wanting more and getting mostly the same stuff presented again and again lessening any initial enthusiasm. Still, this show could be a corner. If UFO docs and TV shows from here on out are to have any validity there needs to be in-depth cooperation with the government and not just retirees discovering redacted FOIA releases. The thing that makes the show worth at least watching the first two episodes is the times when they are getting close to this. The hard questions need definitive answers such as does the government have knowledge of extra-planetary vehicles and/or possession of any UFO parts or whatever? Does the government actually take the phenomenon as truly serious - potentially good or bad based on what? Is there an actually any relationship for instance with crop circles, cattle mutilations, and supposed geographical sighting hotspots? Finally, has an alien body or being, dead or alive, ever been actually witnessed and studied? That last one seems extremely far fetched for me to even expend the effort to type. Anyway, please going forward with this or other shows give us less of the same old same old and turn a corner into diving deep into credibility to back up these videos and the funding behind ATIP. UFOS are fascinating now make the show that explodes what is real and unknown without the constant "old hat" or "same" stuff endlessly rehashed. Please!

Great insight
Great insight into the bizarre UFO phenomena. Former head of the secret AATIP program discloses alarming government secrets.

Not what I expected
To someone like me, who scoffs at conspiracy theories such as those surrounding 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination, most UFO shows are nothing short of laughable. For some reason I decided to give this one a shot and it surprised.
For one thing, (in the first episode at least) there were no pencil drawings of supposed captured ETs rendered by some oddball recluse with zero credibility. That alone sets it apart from the typical show of its type. And the people involved at least come across as more credible and earnest than the conspiracy quacks featured so heavily in other "UFO" shows. So it's a lot more difficult to dismiss out of hand the information presented.
What's conspicuously missing is a counterpoint from true experts who are less convinced by the evidence. In order for this show to attain genuine credibility the producers need to include commentary from knowledgeable folks offering other plausible explanations for the evidence.
Still probably the best UFO show I've ever watched, although to be fair I haven't watched many. But until various views are fully explored it's probably mostly of interest to the UFO fanbois.

Say it one more time!!
Interesting series but unfortunately it uses the same annoying format as most of these US shows. 1 step forwards, 2 steps backwards...Repeat, repeat & repeat again. A 2 season series that could have all fitted into a 1 hour program..

More interesting take on a subject done to death on TV
The show has a message that people need to wake up to the fact that these unexplained crafts and events do exist. However the show itself is most likely only going to appeal to those who are already interested. However I do think it stands the best chance out of the many shows of a similar theme to convert skeptics.
There are many experts and knowledgeable people working on this team who are investigating strange incidents that seem to involve UFOs. They present a clear and educated investigation into these events along with interviews.
They do tend to repeat themselves throughout the series but its interesting enough to provoke discussion on a subject that has been seen mostly as a joke to the general public. Unlike other shows, they are not assuming aliens are behind it although it remains a possibility. Their stance is more focused on these crafts that display technology far advanced then our own as being a threat to the nations on this planet.
The most interesting aspect is that these aren't just people who are into the whole UFO mythology, they consist of high ranking officials that held or have held important positions in government intelligence agencies as well as experts in the field of aviation.
Its worth a watch if you like the subject of UFO's and want a different approach that most shows do not have.

Poor QA
Series is interesting. The show's quality assurance/proof readers are lousy. Just watched an episode where they are interviewing a naval aviator (photos showing his Navy uniform and A-6 aircraft) and under his screen image the writing says Air Force pilot. In the same episode they describe a soldier as a "specialist first class" There is no such rank in the Army. He can either be a private first class or a specialist fourth/fifth class.
Come on, hire some college kid to proofread your video before you air it.
Who is Luis Elizondo? Did he serve in the military? Branch? Rank? College? What government branch did he work for before the Pentagon?

Fairly clear-headed assessment
This topic is one that is usually given a very one-sided treatment. For sure, the creators of this series have a strong stance and it shows, but it is all backed up. The main flaw is that it is very repetitive and keeps covering the same facts over and over.

Simply badly done
When you only have enough tape for a two hour show or documentary and you stretch the hell out of it to get an entire season, you make it unbelievably hard to watch. You, in essence ruin the documentary.

WOW!!!!
I guess I've been hiding under a rock because I just now started season 1 of this and fell in love immediately. If you're into the Paranormal and you'd like caring about UFOs and USOs, this right here is the show for you. Enjoy!

Really wanted to like it!
I am interested in this subject, unfortunately it has the same concept like the old classic TV UFO documentaries. Full of same footage repeated over and over with a tiny bit of something new each episode. By episode 4 I was already bored with it.
It's funny that once in a while a man decides to quit his job and "pursue the truth" by making a commercial and superficial "documentary". By doing the same thing others did, by helping the UFO subject look like a joke, AGAIN.
So thanks for this, you should go back to your old job, there are enough people chasing money with "surprising" subjects...

Makes you sit up and take a good look at the American government. They really think they rule the world! Makes you wonder who the real baddies are! China or the Yanks ?

Serious look at the "UFO phenomenon"
This has a few quite well known people that have worked at top levels of the US government including interviews with military and US politicians. No one is saying it's "aliens", but some mechanical crafts in the sky are not conventional or even possible with current technology, so the public have a right to know... series 2 is really worthy watching!

Good stuff
People better start taking this phenomenon seriously. There is a clear and present threat to our defenses in our air space. Still a bit skeptical on where these UFOs are from, but the fact is they are up there and no one seems to know what's going on.
Episode reference
Allow me to State this first; I believe. Not this show though.
Ever feel like you're being done a major diservice? I believe this show and others like this are on now to mislead us from the truth. What that truth is, I will not speculate. but I do not believe that anything deemed to be extraterrestrial, and by definition inter-dimensional is travelling that amount of space and time to pose us -any- threat.
I can tell you one thing - if they are here and they do pose a threat, we would definitely know by now. The fact that stuff like this is on TV, supposed meetings between secret Italian government agencies, and whatever crew is behind the stateside production of this and other such rendezvous... A smiling Italian secret ops official can hardly contain his Glee that he's telling us an Italian craft was brought down in 2004..16 years ago.
This is our right now I've seen so much pessimism about so many things spotting by mainstream media and all of its most obvious forms. I want to keep the potential of extraterrestrial life a hopeful one. I'm not here to promote anyting but if you want to get a different spin, check out Sirius disclosure project. It's all online, hundreds of hours available for free.
There are other less directed channels but the overlapping messages that true disclosure will come to the people from the people. Think before you react. And if it doesn't feel like it's right that something is being weaponized, we get foreign terrorists, religions ot now aliens from outer space, it probably is not right.

Many Years ago i was having a BBQ in my Father-in-law Back Garden on the day England had a Eclipse it was getting dark and i was looking up at the Stars and notice what i thought was 2 shooting stars going to each other then both off them suddenly stop next but not touching for about 1 min then they went different directions left and right i couldn't believe what i was seeing i was standing next to my partner uncle he said to me did you see that i said yes we where amazed now i know that there is UFO out there they are bloody fast like shooting stars makes me think watching these UFO Programmes that there deffently true sightings when they say the spacecraft move really fast i know i seen it for my own eyes personally it makes me think these spacecraft's are Alien Drome crafts that there no one in them maybe thats the reason why there so fast a normal Human or Mammal would be killed going that fast or there not like Humans but another form of life part human form part species that have revolved over millions of years that can travel fast another thing the spacecraft's seem to like taking water from large Lakes in some cases upto 5 inches of water as gone over night from a 25 mile long lake thats millions of Gallons maybe its part fish as well lol i keep hearing the Spacecraft looks like a Large Tic-Tac from different UFO Shows makes you think there truth out there

One question I have is why do they automatically think they are a threat? If they have the technology to do what has been shown, they could have blown us up way before now.
