In my latest video conversation, I talked with Brian Dunning, the producer and host of the popular long-running Skeptoid podcast, about his just released documentary concerning UFOs … the one THEY don’t want you to see. Brian has three previous documentary films under his belt: Here Be Dragons, Principles of Curiosity, and Science Friction. The most recent of these was screened following a previous CSICon, and I interviewed Brian about it in advance here.
So, who exactly are THEY, and why don’t THEY want you to see his latest film? You may also wonder why Brian is still using the older initialism UFO in his title instead of the NASA-approved replacement, UAP. Well, you’ll have to watch the interview to learn the answers to these and other burning questions.
Besides discussing many details of The UFO Movie, including Brian’s methodological approach to this subject and the handful of “UFO encounters” examined in the film, we also talked about many UFO topics not covered in the documentary. These include whether Brian was ever a true believer in the UFO mythos (yes, he was), and what he thinks of all the fresh UFO developments that surfaced only after he wrapped production on the film. “What fresh developments?” you may ask. Well, to name just a few: the U.S. congressional subcommittee hearings featuring NAVY pilots and “whistleblower” David Grusch, the release of the long awaited NASA investigative report, the testimony about ET mummies to the Congress of Mexico, and the revelation just this week that King Charles piloted a UFO in Canada (when he was still just Prince Charles, of course.
Also, as I did in my interview article Let’s Talk UFOs: A Conversation with Richard Saunders, I asked for an expert opinion of celebrity theoretical-physicist Michio Kaku’s claim that “In the old days, the burden of proof was on the true believers to prove that what they saw last night was a flying saucer of some sort. Now the burden of proof has shifted. Now … the military has to prove that these aren’t extraterrestrial objects.”
Being a fan of Project Hail Mary, I couldn’t resist getting Brian into a short conversation regarding the huge technological difficulties portrayed in that 2021 novel (soon to be a major motion picture) regarding interstellar travel as they relate to the section of his film concerning the physics problems of hypothetical extraterrestrials being able to reach Earth.
Let me tell you that THEY may not want you to see The UFO Movie, but Brian is doing his best to defeat THEM and bring his film to popular streaming services. If you can’t wait for him to break through the distribution roadblocks—or you just fancy watching it with a big group of skeptics and are attending CSICon 2023 (or even just live in the Vegas area)—you are in luck. Brian will be hosting a free screening of the film immediately following the conference, and you can register to attend this event right here!
So please enjoy my conversation with Brian Dunning about The UFO Movie THEY Don’t Want You to See, and I hope to meet you at the Vegas screening where I will be wondering if any Reptilian Shape Shifters have infiltrated the screening to report back to their Planetary Ruling Council regarding what secrets Brian has discovered and revealed to the world.
