Ep 6. The UFO Cover-Up

In this episode of Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation season 2, titled "The UFO Cover-Up," viewers are taken on a journey through the history of the United States government's involvement with UFOs. The episode begins by re-examining the Roswell incident of 1947, which is widely considered to be one of the most well-known UFO sightings in history.

Throughout the episode, viewers are introduced to various individuals who have been involved in government investigations into UFO sightings and encounters, and learn about how the government has dealt with the issue over the years. Some of the individuals interviewed include Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP); Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist and author who has extensively researched UFO phenomena; and John Alexander, a retired Army Colonel who has studied paranormal phenomena.

As the episode progresses, viewers learn about the challenges that officials faced when trying to investigate UFO sightings and encounters, including cultural beliefs and societal perceptions that often dismissed these reports as mere hoaxes or hallucinations. Additionally, the episode covers some of the government's failed attempts to cover up UFO sightings, including specific details around the infamous Project Bluebook, which aimed to investigate UFOs but ultimately dismissed many reports as "unidentifiable."

One of the highlights of the episode is a deep dive into the story of Dan Sheehan, a former attorney for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights who represented over 200 military personnel in a suit against the government for their alleged exposure to UFOs at Bentwaters Air Force Base in Suffolk, England in 1980. Sheehan provides fascinating insights into the government's attempts to suppress evidence and to discredit his clients, and viewers get a firsthand look at the lengths to which some officials went to cover up their involvement with UFO sightings.

Overall, "The UFO Cover-Up" is an excellent addition to Unidentified's second season, providing viewers with a fascinating, in-depth look at the government's history with UFO sightings and encounters. While the episode might not offer up definitive conclusions about the existence of extraterrestrials, it does offer compelling evidence that the government has been hiding something about UFOs for decades.
