Q & A with "The UFO Movie" Filmmaker Brian Dunning

Video Description

Recording of an online Q & A with Filmmaker Brian Dunning, discussing "The UFO Movie THEY Don't Want You to See." From the movie's website: "This film gives the real science behind the current UFO phenomenon and answers the questions so many are wondering. What is in our skies? What do we know, and how do we know it? And most importantly: Are we being visited?" This feature-length documentary, The UFO Movie THEY Don’t Want You to See, produced and hosted by Brian Dunning, delivers a compelling analysis of the modern UFO/UAP phenomenon through a scientific lens. The film features expert commentary from physicists, image analysts, exobiologists, pilot training specialists, and air traffic control professionals, dissecting high-profile sightings such as the Navy’s “Gimel,” “Go Fast,” “Tic Tac,” and “Green Triangles” videos. It explores why, despite sensational headlines and viral media, many sightings can be traced back to misidentified celestial objects, man-made clutter, or perceptual errors, offering viewers a clear framework to evaluate UFO claims critically. Dunning’s film also delves into the sociology and psychology of UFO reporting—highlighting how expert witnesses and military personnel, despite their training, can be fooled by illusions and memory errors. The documentary emphasizes the fundamental principle of critical thinking: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It provocatively asks whether our government’s UAP task forces are staffed with the right expertise—suggesting that astronomers, air traffic controllers, and experienced skeptics might be more effective than specialists in metallurgy or exoplanet research. https://theufo.movie Science writer Brian Dunning has been reporting on the history of belief in alien visitation for 17 years.
