Customer Reviews of The Secret KGB UFO Files

Russian Exploitation and Faked UFO Video = Dangerous Conmen
I watched this and I thought - "Wow, What a great documentary about UFOs". The UFO footage of a crashed saucer did look very real and very convincing. Even if it was all a hoax the documentary interviews with Russian scientists is still very good and is a very valuable lesson for us all. However when I learned the truth this production went from being the real thing, to being a Blair Witch Project with some real elements to being very dangerous filmmaking with some questionable exploitation of real people that is borderline criminal.

The filmmakers interviewed REAL Russian scientists but did not tell them that they where making this documentary. Then they re-arranged their interviews and edited them to suite their agenda. The Russian scientists believed that these people where authentic American filmmakers, but these guys where out to cheat, deceive and exploit. They even hired actors to play Russian scientists who did not exist. The books and newspaper clippings in this DVD do not exist either. Then the American filmmakers paid a bunch of local villagers peanuts to dress up as KGB agents for an advertisement they said they where making. That is the KGB UFO footage that headlines this DVD.

The Russian scientists in this DVD are all over the web and have condemned this DVD to the last. It was pure exploitation through and through.

Keep your bucks in your pockets. Don't support this gutter that is a sham in the fields of science, documentary filmmaking and UFOology.

phoney, hokey and lame
Some years ago, FOX did good business with "Alien Autopsy" a disinfotainment show masquerading as a documentary. The whole time, the narrator maintained a disingenuous "look, we don't know whether this footage is real or a hoax, you be the judge" posture. Now, SciFi channel has followed suit, and even upped the ante with "Secret KGB UFO Files." I'm not sure whether the producers put out a call for anyone to submit any footage they could come up with, no questions asked, or whether they actually produced in their studios some of the clips we see. They look fishy, they smell fishy, and, well, you get the picture. I expected to see coverage of well-known, documented Soviet cases. Instead, we are shown supposed gun-camera footage that has somehow never appeared anywhere else (exclusive!), and which looks amazingly like cheap, computer-generated special effects of the kind that abound in SciFi channel's original programs. Three examples especially stand out for sheer audacity: one shows a cylindric object outpacing the aircraft it is filmed from, another shows a saucer dipping from high to low altitude through clouds in the distance behind a flying jet (with its shadow looking artfully drawn in for "realism" on one of the clouds), and yet another shows two unidentified objects merging into one. Over the years we have all seen many authentic UFO clips, we know what they look like. The footage in this show has an unmistakably phoney look to it. The only question is whether the producers themselves are the ones who hoaxed it, or whether they were just looking the other way, nudge nudge wink wink. This show seems to be a sad reflection of a contemporary viewing audience that doesn't care whether a documentary is authentic or imitation, and perhaps doesn't have the intelligence to recognize the difference. Isn't it hard enough to sort fact from fiction in a subject like this? Must we have counterfeit documentaries like this now also? Shame on you, SciFi, they should pull your licensing. For the most undiscriminating viewers only.

Shocking truths, unethical film making, bad for UFO research
For entertainment value this documentary should get a ten. Full marks! For reality value it now earns a big 0 in more ways than one. This video, purports what it claims to be KGB footage of a crashed UFO. That is probably why you want to watch it right? Well that part of the video is wow! Again, full marks to the makers of this documentary for putting something like this together. I would highly recommend viewing this video, even if the Video was a hoax, but it turns out that there is much more going on that just this and this is what makes the story very sad.

The miserable truth is that much has been exposed since the video's release including what appears to be the exploitation of real people, real doctors and real investigators who thought they where participating in something else other than a KGB UFO video analysis. They had been duped and according to the very quick work of Russian investigator - Boris Shurinov - are quite annoyed at the way they have been treated by what they thought where serious American film makers. The newspapers that appear in this documentary are not Russian nor do they exist. Some of the Russian UFO researchers in this video are not real nor has anyone since located them. The books in the video written by these non-existent 'researchers' do not exist in Russia. Further more there are Russians who worked on the production of an 'American advertisement' which has since turned out to be this very same KGB UFO video. Where Blair Witch and Fargo get off is in the fact that these films starred actors and not real people who where paid to do a job and received the acclaim for their work. However there are real Russian professionals in this video who are totally 'boiling' at being abused for profit in this manner. It all goes to show the actual mind set of the documentary film makers who thought that if they did this video in Russia staring real Russians that no one would notice a thing. In my opinion this is why this documentary should be treated as a work of extreme prejudice. If you like exploitation material like 'Bum Fight', 'Jerry Springer' or 'Cannibal Holocaust' then this video is for you. If are interested in UFO footage then go elsewhere. There are plenty of other videos on the UFO phenomena that you will enjoy much more and are done by better film makers with much much higher ethical film making standards.

Roger Moore should have more sense than to present these film maker's garbage.
