I’ve been down a curious rabbit hole about UFOs (Unidentified Objects), UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), and NHI (Non-human intelligence). While I don’t really put a lot of stock in these subjects, I do find it interesting that even big figures like Joe Rogan would just give forum to people who are researching or have experienced these events themselves.
There’s no doubt in my mind that James Fox has dedicated a large portion of his career, and I guess his life on a personal level, to researching UFOs. In my mind, UFOs are like one of those subjects that you would expect, at some point, for the government to spill the beans on and for data to be leaked. It turns out that “it is just not that simple”. Governments can sloppily keep the lid on this and gaslight the audience however they see fit.
Moment of Contact guides us through the events of Varginha, Brazil, where even at the site of origin they embrace the events that have taken place there. In the smallest summary possible, the people of Varginha made contact of the third kind after a “cigar-shaped” UFO lost control and crashed.
The events go as far as people actually seeing these creatures walking around. They weren’t just walking around, as some of the witnesses recount one of them felt the fear the being had when they locked eyes and could somehow feel and understand what they were going through.
The thing is, the description of these beings matched what people described around the crash. Whether the other beings survived on the ship that crashed or not, we will never know.
Regardless, I enjoyed the documentary. I think that James Fox’s way of presenting the testimonies of these people gave credence in the sense that it wasn’t just mocking. As we know, UFOs are a fringe topic surrounded by a lot of stigma for those who try to discuss them.
As for my thoughts on subjects like this, I’m always open-minded. We are surrounded by billions of stars. To assume that we are the only species with intelligence is probably one of the most arrogant assumptions.
I’d say that it was really fun to watch. If you have an open mind and are bored, check it out.
