The ZZZ files (vhs)

This documentary was the first video in the Dossiers OVNIS collection. The covers labels it as Best documentary at 1996 EBE festival but frankly, it doesn't equal the X-files episodes about this same military area. Sure the facts are troubling but the video is totally redounding and in addition awfully presents the interviews in bizarre, nightmarish setting : in the dark, with echo effects,… In my opinion, the question to determine if the lights are UFO or military planes is boring ; the testimony of the engineer saying he was working with a real alien Gray translator is really BS : the only interesting time in the documentary is when the reporter does his work on the ground, tries to go to the base and follow the plane ; The ending about Reagan's speech in the UN warning about an alien threat seems also really surreal but this moment is however an easily verified 100% true fact !
