“I really enjoyed listening to all three seasons of this podcast, but I think the one big flaw is that he goes in as a pretty hardcore skeptic and never really strays from that close-minded view. Just like ufo believers, skeptics tend to cherry pick evidence to fit into their worldview. For...”Read full review »

“I have one issue and it’s with the Mothman episode.
The alternatives being Cranes, Owls, ect. Are pretty ridiculous and were already debunked. There were a lot of things going on and all of the “rational” explanations fall extremely-almost embarrassingly short to the point where they seem more...”Read full review »

“A very well researched and produced series that seeks to cover the entirety of the modern history of UFO/UAP and abductee/contactee phenomena.
Even though I’m fairly well acquainted with most of the accounts and ideas presented over the three seasons, I was impressed by the fresh perspectives and...”Read full review »

“Too rambly/meandering. I feel like they could have summed all of Season 1 up in one hour-long episode. Best guess, that way it won't make top advertisement dollars. By the way, the ads inserted by iTunes were bloody annoying, too.”Read full review »

“This podcast is extremely biased debunker garbage. The host doesn’t seem to believe anything at all, and will spend so much time going over the classic reasons for truly bizarre events like “it’s just a weather balloon” or “a bird” or “the people who saw can’t be trusted they’re kooks.”...”Read full review »

“Doesn’t the fact that the US Military has now said there are UAP’s offer an alternative theory that you are trying to debunk. So, your theory is just as alternative, and you have ruined these people’s reputation and ruined their lives callously. You owe them an apology.”

“The podcast is well produced, but the thing about Toby Ball is that you always know what kind of take he will have before he gets to it. He does’t really believe anything, which is fine, but there is no mystery here at all.”

“A fantastic, richly researched combination of UFO lore, journalism, history, folklore, and psychology. I devoured two seasons in less than a week—and thank goodness season three is ongoing, or I would have gone through withdrawal.
I also have to say that, while I’ve enjoyed a fair number of Grim...”Read full review »

“Disappointing. Last thing I want to hear is stories I’ve heard a hundred times. I’m a life long experiencer and abductee, not an enviable life in that respect. Always looking for fresh contemporary experiences. Who thought a redo of old stories was a good idea?”

“You guys did a fantastic job of researching & documenting this complicated story. So many of your contemporaries fail to look at all the data & recorded media. In short, your contemporaries fail. They either make a joke out of what they’ve failed to comprehensively research or they don’t...”Read full review »

“I didn’t think I would be interested in listening to a podcast about the extraterrestrial, but I found myself hanging on to every episode. It makes me question everything I knew about ET, not just any government conspiracy, but just my idea of what I think aliens look like and do. Very well done!”

“Great format and subject matter, but as others have stated, stays on the same topic for way too long. There’s so much material in this subject, yet things are drip fed. Lots of potential, so I’ll keep listening (and trying not to skip through some episodes).”

There’s nothing like a “Who Done it” mystery right? or an interesting debate. A podcast where the host is as perplexed as you. Unfortunately this podcast...”Read full review »

“This podcast does an awesome job presenting content in an organized and intuitive manner. My only problem with this particular podcast is it stays on the same topic for way too long. It gets to the point where I feel like I want to move on to the next episode without finishing the current episode.”

I guess it just couldn’t keep my interest....”Read full review »

“I usually don’t like when guests come on the podcast to promote things.

It’s clear he was interested...”Read full review »

“Enjoyed Season 1 and the first few episodes of Season 2, then the Lighthouse episode turned into the skeptics show with Mick West, with random guys shooting the witnesses stories down and talking about ghosts and folklore etc.
Very well produced but not the kind of show I was after.”

I truly believed in season 1 that it was an investigation by people without an agenda to prove or disprove. Season 2 is quite obviously by writers that do not believe in alien visitors to Earth....”Read full review »
