History's Greatest Mysteries (TV Series) Roswell: The First Witness Part 3 - The Writer (2020) User Reviews

The Math Just Doesn't Add Up

This 3 part series on the so-called Roswell Incident, purporting that an extraterrestrial craft crashed, there was a conflicted eye witness forced to keep quiet, and a government cover-up is the standard, same-old, same-old conspiracy theory garbage. Here's the formula: Witness saw what he thinks is evidence "A." The show then presents, well, if "A" is true then maybe "B," which supports "A" may be true as well. And if "B" is true, then maybe "C", which supports "B" is true. Then there is "D", which supports "C" and "E" that supports "D" and so on until we have "Z" supporting "Y." Thus, Z proves A is true. Except hypotheses cannot prove other hypotheses without independent proof they are factually true. This hideous mathematical house of cards comes crashing down with just the slightest application of critical thinking. So, save yourself hours of agony and go read a book.
