Filmmakers James Fox, Tim Coleman and Boris Zubov take an explosive look at the legitimacy of the UFO phenomenon in this award-winning, feature-length documentary "Out of the Blue". For the first time, high-ranking military and government personnel go on record saying that certain unidentified flying objects could in fact be of extraterrestrial origin.
Former astronauts, including Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, disclose knowledge of the covert effort to keep this subject matter classified. Military personnel recall witnessing UFOs disabling nuclear missiles during test flights. Even former U.S. Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter come forward to offer accounts about their involvement with the UFO phenomenon. All of the accounts have a similar theme: something is definitely out there.
Out of the Blue traces sightings and reports from around the world, with testimony from high-ranking military personnel and astronauts from the United States, England, Russia and France. Also, astrophysicists and NASA propulsion experts share the latest theories on the possibilities of interstellar travel.
SCI FI's broadcast of Out of the Blue reinforces the Channel's commitment to furthering serious public inquiry and understanding of the UFO phenomenon. Last year, SCI FI launched a Washington, DC based public advocacy initiative to draw greater attention to this issue by the media and opinion leaders. The Channel is currently lobbying Congress to gain support for more scientific inquiry into the phenomenon.
