History's Greatest Mysteries (TV Series) Roswell: The First Witness Part 1 - The Journal (2020) User Reviews

Is the Roswell episode over?

The Roswell episode seemed to end right in the middle of the issues being explored. Is there going to be a second part to this episode? It now leaves the audience hanging on several issues being evaluated.

Awful, just plain awful

This 3 part series on Roswell is advertised as a real investigation into the so-called Roswell Incident from 1947. Heck, we are even led by a former CIA investigator (whatever that is). Surely, this will be new information, peer reviewed, and established in scientific journals. Nope, this travesty is solely meant to manipulate the ignorant and those addicted to confirmation bias. A close listen to what is said, and more critically, what is not said, reveals this is less about history and more about stringing viewers along for the sake of ratings. For example, anyone with military experience with classified materials knows it is against the law to reveal that information. Officers and enlisted sign documents in advance of receiving that clearance acknowledging their understanding of the consequences of endangering national security. In 1947, national security was paramount as the Cold War was beginning. However, "History's Greatest Mysteries" repeats ad nauseum how terrible it is that an intelligence officer (let me repeat that...an INTELLIGENCE officer) had to keep silent about what he saw, under threat of penalty. Filled with may-bes, could-bes, and a host of absolute arguments made in the absence of any real, verifiable facts, the writers of this disaster use this absence of information to fill that empty space with one fantasy after another. For instance, we are presented with a journal filled with someones musings and quotes, that was found in some documents of the individual who is the focus of the series. No matter how many times the investigator is told it is nothing, the show continues to try to make it filled with secret codes that MAY reveal the truth about the Roswell incident. Gads. So, turn to a live sports program where you can believe what you see and toss this dreck into the commode, where it belongs.

More hot air than an hairdryer on full blast
