Aliens Uncovered Origins

The conspiracy is out there!

Aliens Uncovered: Origins, while offering little in the way of new evidence, is a fun deep dive into the fascinating history of Area 51.  Little about the feature is insulting to believers in little green men and, while dipping deep into a fair amount of military conspiracy theories, it offers a cool look at the direction Pheonix, Arizona took in light of some interesting alien encounters.

"tastefully put together, complete with on-camera interviews which solidify the thesis put forth by the filmmakers"


Written and Directed by Clive Christopher, this documentary takes viewers on a bit of a journey through the history of Arizona’s UFO experience by way of the military and the three major close encounters which helped develop and navigate the infamous Project Bluebook.  It’s a driveby for sure, but the film proves to be interesting in its perspective on the city’s history.

Clocking in at a breezy 82 minutes, Aliens Uncovered: Origins recounts the mysterious sightings that some members of the public still don't know about.  Before Area 51; before Project Bluebook; the film goes into details about how Roswell was not the end all be all of alien encounters.  There was, in fact, a wave of sightings in 1947 and, deep in the desert, there was also a military discovery which assisted in a massive cover-up. Aliens Uncovered Origins

Aliens Uncovered: Origins might not surprise fans of aliens.  I suppose that’s a given, but maybe it can bring new people into the tent of aliens visiting Earth.  The documentary is tastefully put together, complete with on-camera interviews which solidify the thesis put forth by the filmmakers: that the government has been hiding extraterrestrials since 1941. 

Okay, sure, there isn’t new information presented, but it does shine a light on some of the lesser known events leading up to Roswell.  Those are damned interesting, if you are a sky watcher.  Full of candid interviews and solid recreations, Aliens Uncovered: Origins doesn’t actually disappoint.  It’s a solid watch, even if it tracks more to the left of center when it comes to military conspiracy theories in the wake of Arizona’s three major UFO events.

Now on digital platforms via Breaking Glass Pictures, Aliens Uncovered: Origins wants you to  believe.

Synopsis: Before Area 51, hidden deep in the desert, the military discovered a hidden gem that helped them create Project Bluebook.

Phoenix, Arizona wasn't supposed to be the city we know in present day. Before Area 51, hidden deep in the desert, the military discovered a hidden gem that helped them cover up the UFO wave of 1947. Roswell was not the only event that took place. Arizona was home to three major UFO events that the public hardly knows about. These events helped create Project Bluebook.
