The UFO/UAP community - UAP stands for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - has been waiting for official disclosure relating to the existence of NHI (Non-Human Intelligence since the Roswell Incident in 1947. It is still waiting but recent developments, specifically the 2017 New York Times front page story of a UFO sighting by U.S. Navy pilots in 2004, have led to a growing mainstream acceptance of the possibility of verifiable UFO/UAP activity. Apple's two-part documentary "The Alien Perspective" is another step in the same direction.

Seven years in the making by Dean "The McPherson Tape" Alioto, the depth of research and variety of angles on display here can be seen by the huge number of contributors from different fields (see below). Much more than the usual line-up of familiar talking heads (former M.O.D man Nick Pope aside), those in front of the camera include the most credible eye-witnesses and 'victims of abduction' as well as scientists with relevant expertise.
The events discussed are well documented and have impressive supporting evidence but here are some out-there theories (do we really live in a simulation?) that skeptics and debunkers will latch onto. However, this film – much like James Fox's "The Program" – delivers on its promise to provide a glimpse into the unknown.
Whatever your current philosophical take on the issue, "The Alien Perspective" is worth a watch. Here's where to watch/stream it online, plus all the best ways to get an Apple TV Plus free trial, which might be very helpful.
