How to watch 'The Program' online – stream James Fox UFO documentary from anywhere now

"The Program," the latest documentary from UFO filmmaker James Fox, delves deep into the ever-evolving mystery of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and the UFO enigma. With a rash of mysterious drone sightings reported over the New Jersey, it certainly seems to be a well-timed release.

"The Program" premieres in the U.S. and U.K. on Monday, December 16 — and viewers abroad can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

In the summer of 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an assessment of what it called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). It confirmed that UAP were "physical objects" that move "against the wind without discernible means of propulsion". But what are these objects exactly?

"The Program" promises a behind-the-scenes look at the world of UAP research, featuring exclusive interviews with NASA's Bill Nelson, former asst. deputy of defence Christopher Mellon, physicist Hal Puthoff, Stanford's Dr Garry Nolan and retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet.

Are these drones/orbs a matter for 'ufologists' in tinfoil hats? Incursions by foreign adversaries such as Russia or China? Or even non-human intelligence? "The Program" aims to break down (some of) the secrecy surrounding recent UFO investigations.

Can you watch 'The Program' in Australia?

While "The Program" appears to be available on Apple TV+ in Australia, the page itself doesn't seem to load the movie. It could be that the UFO documentary has yet to land in Oz. Either way, we'll update this as soon as we hear our collegues from Down Under.
