UFOs Are Real (1979)

UFOs Are Real (1979) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of many 1970s UFO documentaries, this one features lots of still photos of alleged UFO's, some UFO motion picture footage, and stock footage and images acquired from government and military sources. Among the many people interviewed are UFO researchers Stanton Friedman and Ted Phillips, UFO abductees Betty Hill and Travis Walton, optical physicist Bruce Maccabee, and retired U.S. military officers Jesse Marcel and Wendelle Stevens. The documentary supports the view that alien visitors regularly come to Earth and have perhaps done so for centuries. Though the production budget looks extremely limited, and the narration is a bit ripe, this still manages to be an interesting and informative (and even a bit creepy) documentary on the UFO phenomenon up to the late seventies. In other words, it succeeds despite itself. It does suffer from a bit too much pomposity now and then (note the frequent questioning by the narrator: "Could this be proof of...", "Is this evidence of...", and so on). But it does have in its favor a significant amount of UFO still and movie footage, not to mention in-depth interviews with Betty Hill, Travis Walton and several people involved with the Roswell incident.

I think the movie makers dont know that UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. Of course UFOs are real but just because something is unidentified doesnt mean its an alien lol. I love this sort of dumb ass bullshit, thanks.

Your comment makes sense in a way, but dismisses the fact that for the most part of the 20th and 21st century the term UFO has mostly been associated with extraterrestrials. Obviously that a UFO isn't necessarily alien. That being said, if you see a UFO who's to say it is not alien? But yeah, when taking it literally "UFOs are real" is as stupid as saying "The solar system is real". As a side note, the original title for this documentary, when it was launched, was "Flying Saucers Are Real". Must have been a marketing decision to re-brand the title like this.
