National Geographic’s Chasing UFOs: Investigation as Farce

Despite countless claims to the contrary by debunkers, there really is persuasive evidence—both empirical and anecdotal—to confirm the anomalous nature of the UFO phenomenon. Admittedly, one would never know that by watching the Nat Geo network’s new reality series Chasing UFOs, whose entertainment-based formula may best be described as Blair Witch Project meets Inspector Clouseau. If the show’s producers are not secretly in cahoots with some intelligence agency to make legitimate UFO research look bad, by association, they have certainly achieved that outcome inadvertently.
