UFO Hunters Review

UFO Hunters on the History Channel is horrible. The team grasps at straws through the entire episode. They gather very little feasible evidence and then at the end of the episode take the fragments they found and try to pass it off as "very well could be true." Birnes in the course of an episode comes up with all kinds of fanciful explanations often times later contradicting what he has said earlier in the episode. Such as when a hole at a crash site all of a sudden is a "burial site," "a hole to bury evidence," and later on "a mine shaft." Make up your mind.

Many of the citations and so called "experts" they have on the show are just authors of UFO books or works which is basically like using no evidence as your evidence. It doesn't seem like the team is really invested in finding the "truth" about whatever UFO or alien based topic they are studying but rather trying to find any shred of hope which may prove the existence of UFO's or alien life.

The show is very skewed towards their belief that aliens and UFO's are present here on earth. In one episode rather than calling the "fragment" in a mans leg just that they immediately refer to it as an "implant." When it is removed and appears to be nothing more than an iron fragment rather than leaving it at this they try to skew the perspective so that it "could" still be alien. In most cases their lack of proof appears to be proof enough for the team. I'd much rather see them trying to debunk the myths rather than grasping desperately at straws to find whatever shred of proof that may linger. Perhaps I should check out UFO Hunters on SciFi which is actually trying to disprove the evidence. Call me a skeptic. I just wish this show tried a bit harder to be too.
