The Hidden Hand: Alien Contact and the Government Cover-up (2013)

It was a good documentary. I was excited to see Whitley Strieber being interviewed. The people interviewed were very articulate and presented their stories quite well.The documentary itself was also quite well done. This however might be a bit too much for a person unfamiliar with the cover up to handle. The sheer number of people interviewed that were or are military and government professionals adds a lot of weight to the documentary in my opinion.The only criticism I have is the inclusion of David Icke. To anyone who has seriously looked into this information in the past knows that Icke is a hack and quite possibly insane. I probably would have given this an 8 if he wasn't in it.

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen about the alien phenomenon. Packed full of reputable sources: physicists, former CIA agents, astronauts, military personnel, multiple defense ministers from various countries and many more commenting on their own work and experience on the subject, and their first hand accounts. A lot of this footage is highly correlated with many other shows I've seen on the subject, including testimony from abductees themselves, to testimony from the highly reputable sources. After seeing this, it's hard not to believe! There's just too many people out there experiencing so many similar experiences. Some people that complain about this documentary are the kinds of people that will believe anything until it happens to them personally, which is extremely closed minded.

This movie is a decent summary of various aspects of alien contact, featuring well-known researchers like Rich Dolan or Linda Moulton Howe, military personnel like Bob Dean or Clifford Stone, Edgar Mitchell (6th man on the Moon), and many others, most of which people interested in this stuff will be familiar with. I've researched these topics for over 20 years, and I can say there's nothing wrong with the information in this movie, and nobody in it is "crazy".The people writing all those negative reviews are morons so ignorant of the reality they live in that it's really mind-boggling in 2014. I'm actually surprised that there are still so many completely clueless people around. The other option is that they're government shills and are part of the cover-up, which would be nothing strange. After all, 1/10 ratings are usually a sign of a personal agenda rather than an objective assessment of the movie's quality.The one obvious problem is that the movie is only 80 minutes long and tries to give an overview of a wide range of things, so if you know virtually nothing about aliens (if that's even possible), this would be a lot of information you have no context for, and it won't make much sense to you. Or rather, it doesn't have enough space to provide evidence for everything discussed. If you want an introduction into the topic, look somewhere else. This is more suitable for people who are at least somewhat informed.The description of the movie already tells you what you'll be hearing about, so I just want to say that the information is not far-fetched in any way and is based on decades of research. For each of the topics mentioned, you can find endless amounts of information on the Internet. There's plenty of research to back up everything that's said here. If you're seriously looking for relevant information, this movie can give you an idea what's out there but doesn't have time to go into much detail on anything specific. It's only one piece of a puzzle. There's only so much you can fit into 80 minutes, but I think this movie delivers what it's supposed to.

I really do not have too much to say except that this movie may be liked by people with IQs south of 75. This movie does try to convince the viewer that super intelligent alien life forms exist. This is actually not far fetched but the way they go about trying to prove it is hilarious. Whats really mind numbing is that this movie tells you that these super intelligent beings with their advanced technology somehow kidnap random people to probe their orifices and then return them back. These super beings also do not want to reveal that they exist and hence hide from intelligent humans while trying to reveal their existence to obscure people by kidnapping, experimenting with and then returning them. ....well..I rest my case.
