Evidence? Who needs evidence?

If more UFO documentaries were as bad as this one, there would be no need for government disinformation. Even if there were a real story here, we're given almost no evidence for any of it -- yet Mark Olly would have us believe that a UFO unquestionably exploded over some remote Wales countryside in 1983.

It all starts with a national news article from 1983 describing the discovery of metallic debris across four fields near the Welsh community of Aberystwyth. No one -- including the farmer who owned the land -- heard or saw anything unusual on the night the debris-scattering incident occurred. The police were called, as well as the Royal Air Force, and then the Ministry of Defense arrived and cleaned up the site. That's pretty much the whole story.

Olly's colleague consulted local and national newspapers but found no other article associated with the incident. They speak to the reporter, who has no memory of the story's source, as well as the farmer -- both of whom we are assured are more than happy to talk. Of course, we get to hear from neither of the men ourselves. Come to think of it, we're never actually shown video or pictures of the site in question, either -- despite Olly's visit there to try and recover any debris the MOD had missed. That would be the end of the story -- but Olly locates another researcher who claims to have visited the site days after the MOD left and located several pieces of debris in the adjoining woods.

Finally -- after several viewings of Olly's "UFO explosion" recreation and personal stories of Olly's own UFO sightings -- we're allowed to actually see the pieces for ourselves. They seem quite terrestrial-looking to me -- but we're told that metallurgists say they're an unusually strong example of the type of metal used on fighter aircraft. Apparently, the green color on one side of the material is not aerodynamic, though -- which is certainly odd, as I can see no reason whatsoever how the color of a material can possibly affect its aerodynamics.

In the end, Olly would have us believe that an alien UFO exploded in mid-air, crashed to the ground, and then zoomed back up in the sky to continue on its way without anyone nearby hearing a thing, leaving a bunch of metallic debris in its wake, offering us in terms of evidence only a cursory look at four pieces of "debris" that can't be definitively tied to the alleged UFO. Somehow, I'm not quite convinced.
