Let's be honest, I only watched this documentary because it was hosted by James Doohan. Having watched it now, I would say that Doohan is the only reason you would want to watch UFOs: Above & Beyond.

I personally am convinced that Earth is being (and has long been) visited by extraterrestrials, but this video doesn't make a very strong case for UFO reality. Some of the photo and video evidence may have been presented here for the first time, but virtually all of it is familiar to anyone with an interest in ufology today. Indeed, a lot of it goes back to the 1950s and '60s. Those types of grainy images are far from conclusive, and you don't get a lot of time to study anything you're seeing.

It appears obvious that the makers of this documentary tried to cram in as many images as possible; these things come at you faster than the chocolate came at Lucy and Ethel on that classic episode of I Love Lucy.

More unfortunate still is the fact that two of the few times the video slowed down to focus on a single witness, the subjects were Bob Lazar and Billy Myers, neither of whom are given any credibility among ufologists.

I really can't recommend this documentary to anyone apart from James Doohan fans. It's not going to convince anyone that UFOs are real.
