But it will probably do well in the ratings.I remember watching a supposed documentary of theirs, and for 10 minutes, they show Jacques Vallee. He's one of the few Ufologists that is trained as a scientist. He's one of the few scientists that actually goes to supposed UFO encounter sites, and he's one of the few scientists that can actually offer proof. (Though just proof something odd happened, not necessarily aliens).Then right after him, up comes some other idiot who babbled on randomly, and then after him, we get Bud Hopkins, blabbering about abductions and hypnosis. Bud Hopkins. His career as an artist really qualifies him as an expert on hypnosis. As if hypnosis actually was a valid way to recover memories. Gah.The thing is, the real stuff is rather boring.The stuff the Sci-Fi channel tries to push is sensationalist, and the cover up angle attracts all the conspiracy nuts.  No one wants to believe that Roswell was just a Mogul balloon.</blockquote>
