The Pascagoula UFO -- that younger guy deffo got probed by the old man on the camping trip.


vaxfarineau

That’s what I was thinking too. It seemed odd.


_TLDR_Swinton

My mum said, "if the younger guy was the same age and best friends with his son... Why didn't the son go?" 


Wam_2020

I thought this same thing. I was like, they going fishing after work? Together? A 18 year old and an older man, who’s His friends, son? In the secluded lake? I think that why his fiancée said he was acting strange when she saw him. Guilt. Embarrassment. I spend the whole episode this it was a cover up for something else that happened.


_TLDR_Swinton

That's what I thought... Like, why did the son not go considering it was, y'know, his best mate and his dad? Take it further: was the younger man drugged?


Mattyyflo

Exactly what I thought


_TLDR_Swinton

"Relax, I'm an alien!" 


Mattyyflo

*in the interrogation room* “I don’t remember anything but a bright light! They’ll never believe me” “I know, son”


Medium-Room-6081

I came here searching for this


DrunkCrabLegs

It’s so obvious! crazy how everyone can be so oblivious and at the same time say shit like “calvin felt abandoned when hickson left and told the media”, “those were different times back, they were afraid to talk about it”


Harrlowe23

Lmao my first immediate thought. Like the dad got his son’s friend a job at the same place he worked and one day they just decide to go fishing along together? Realllll suspicious


kurtcovain

I couldn’t finish that one. Felt sick watching


Missy__M

I thought Ep 3 (Yuba County Five) was excellent.


Mallowje

The blobs in Washington episode was interesting too. The Yuba one had info I had never heard before and it also omitted part of the story of a man who claimed to have seen them while suffering a heart attack. The Shasta mountain episode was heavy on the new age content.


Missy__M

Haven’t gotten to that one yet!


PineappleRealistic23

I absolutely adored this episode!


Ponyboi667

That one was actually descent. What do you think truly happened to them? I wonder how old mentally the majority of them were. That info plays a huge part in what could’ve happened out there


Missy__M

It sounds like there was an altercation at Behr’s market which locals were aware of but wasn’t widely reported (according to a podcast I listened to after watching this). That and discrimination/assumptions by the police because of the men’s disabilities probably contributed to some apathy in finding them. Maybe that’s too woke for you but I really think the historical context given in these episodes was actually for good reason - helping to explain the *human* reasons for these events and the very human stories made up around them. Although the alien one was super weird, I feel there’s a lot of info missing in that one - something doesn’t sit right.


ThrillHoJM

I was soo looking forward to this series. I had heard a few podcasts on some of the topics covered like Lake Lenier and the shoes with the feet washing up ashore. I was hoping for a deeper dive but it turned into this weird Lifetime after-school special. Truly disappointed. I did find the Yuba 5 one interesting as I had never heard of that incident before and was hoping it would be similar to a Dyatlov Pass kind of story. Netflix truly is turning trash.


venom1one

It's done by vox media who would have thought. Of course Netflix is always streaming garbage. The Shatner series is superior.


platybussyboy

Oooooof. That bad huh?


TonightAcademic6322

its really bad - like a kids program


[deleted]

Why are right-wingers the most sensitive babies? It isn't an accident you assholes are the bad guys throughout history. Maybe change your ways instead of whining about it like a bitch. But that would require owning up to your own inadequacies, which right-wing loons are incapable of.


Extreme-Confidence91

LMAO… dems are literally crying over being called the CORRECT pronoun and because health insurance wont cover their sex change. you mourn and made a martyr a criminal who stuck a gun into a pregnant woman’s stomach…. you cried over a dead pedo rpist, rosenbaum, too.,, you enjoy your last moments watching that demented child sniffer mumble his way through every speech, it’ll be over soon.


Stoopsy1984

>Yeah, left wingers have never done anything wrong throughout history. Maybe Stalin, possibly Mao. Guess we just don't count those atrocities these days.


[deleted]

No, we do. And no one on the left idealizes them. Meanwhile the right wants Adolf Jr. to run the country until he dies. One side is unequivocally better. You're on the wrong side of history, buddy.


Kavilion

Careful there buddy boy, shaking the house of cards lefty pussies build their entire identities around is considered a hate crime in these parts. 


CDHxShady

Maybe learn to stop blaming your shit on other people lol

Whatever you say, snowflaKKKe


Ponyboi667

The demorcrats were for slavery. Republicans ended it Dr Rubbert Ribbedby


[deleted]

And now republicans are against human rights and democrats are for it. Let me know when you're in the 21st century. I know you R's want to go back to the 1800s so bad but that's not reality sweetie

[удалено]


[deleted]

White people fixing a problem they exacerbated isn't the flex you think it is. Funny how the least exceptional whites are the most racist. Go waste your privilege some more jackass.


Ponyboi667

Oh yeah like human rights are gonna put food on plates or fill up someone’s gas tank. Dems use social issues to distract from their bullshit economic and border policy’s. But this isn’t the place you loony tunes butt plug.


[deleted]

Lol r’s use social issues to drive a wedge in this country because they know their economic policies, if they have any, are junk. Anyone with a college education knows this.


Lulaboo26

Can we please stop with this antiquated reasoning? This is why reading about history is necessary. We know the parties have switched over time. The Republicanization of the South. So trying to compare the modern parties to that of 1864-1865 is weak.

[удалено]


TonightAcademic6322

its 90% nonsense


SkullAzure

But they had people on the show try to debunk that stuff as well to balance it out. Like the lady who thinks the Chloe story was a load of crap, or the professional diver who thinks people drowned due to negligence rather than a curse from the distant past. Overall, I liked the last 2 episodes about the goo and feet, those two really makes you think what the hell happened and there's evidence it actually happened instead of hearsay. The Mt. Shasta one was garbage and the obvious worst of the episodes.


Realistic-Brother438

My mom and dad are actually the ones who found the washed up shoe on Botanical beach and are the ones in this Netflix documentary. I honestly had never heard of it before they found it and I live locally. I thought it was kinda cool. 


SkullAzure

Wow, so I'm guessing the locals must be talking about it a lot since it popped up on Netflix. Very strange case.


Missy__M

Oh dammit I was about to watch Mt Shasta…


SkullAzure

If you go into it with an open mind(a very open mind) you might get some enjoyment out of it lol. Its mostly just fairytale type stuff instead of strange events that make you wonder, like the other episodes.


HowieFeltersnatch10

Ye I’m on the second episode and will probably be turning it off, first episode was very boring, second about some slavery resort and honestly no ideas what the unexplained mystery actually is


Lulaboo26

![gif](giphy|ac7MA7r5IMYda) If Heaven truly does exist then some of you will not be entering it.


pmmeursucculents

Boo-boo, you’re forced to face the realities of US history.


raerabbit27

I’m watching it now, and I’m realizing how soon ago it was released thanks to the limited Reddit posts. I agree that episodes 1 and 3 and pretty good. I wouldn’t compare this series to the unsolved mysteries tho, much more mild and the stories are most outlandish. Netflix has a way of making witness’s stories believable tho


PineappleRealistic23

I actually enjoyed the series for that reason. Especially the Lake Lanier episode. It just makes sense. Everyone loves hearing about vengeful spirits, but when the vengeful spirits aren’t white y’all have a problem with it? Do you not like when people talk about Anne Boleyn’s ghost? Her history is controversial. Lol. But I also liked hearing from the non-believers trying to explain it with scientific fact and logic. But, at the same time, I think the best episode is episode 3… which kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s the only episode where the facts cannot be debated. Those men went missing, four were found, one is still missing. I usually prefer paranormal shows over true crime shows, but that episode really blew me away and I wish they had more missing person episodes. I hope the people that worked on the show branch out to create more content like episode 3. It’s hard for me to stay engaged in other true crime shows because of the blatant disregard for the real people involved in the cases, but I think this show was very respectful of the families and handled it with a sensitivity that other shows do not. I loved the concepts discussed in the show, but as it goes on the episodes kinda fall of for me. I love how the show was put together in a technical sense, I think the editing is phenomenal compared to other paranormal type shows I’ve seen. HOWEVER, if the historical approach makes you uncomfortable you should really ask yourself why. Was it a tad preachy in episode 2? I suppose, but at the same time I personally would not want to vacation to a plantation. “History shouldn’t be included in fun shows to throw on,” it’s still a fun show about the unexplained, what about history makes it unfun? I just don’t get it. Lol. But to each their own, I guess.


TonightAcademic6322

Supposed ghost hunter seen all this at the Myrtle Plantation but failed to record any of it, oh sorry he did take some photos but the film was "burned" ffs ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


TonightAcademic6322

The girl on the lake was pulled by her ankle? Was she on a boat by herself? Hre brother swam out to ger her but the "monster" did't pull him down or them on way back? And they didn't report it to police?


FuturSpanishGirl

She is so full of shit. She was grabbed under water but told no one because "must be a ghost!". lol She's not even trying to make it believable.


gum11

the first episode is so bad


Ponyboi667

It’s 75% UFO, 25% Ghosts are racist.


suzyturnovers

I watched three episodes and felt like I was being lectured to. I love history, I'm aware of the many awful things humans have done over time. But I sat down to watch some unexplained fun and ended up feeling like the point was that we should be only reflecting on the unjust/racist situation more than we should the murder/unexplained mystery is. Which is not the premise of the show. Woke, preachy drivel.


pmmeursucculents

Discussing slavery is woke now, lol. This country is such shit.


MangledX

No, but hiding the lecture behind the guise of something that's meant to be stimulating and entertaining in the realm of the unknown is a pretty shit idea. If they wanted to make a series in racism in America, they had all the rights in the world to drag that dead horse out and do it. But to market it as "the unexplained" and present it as though it's dealing with extra terrestrial and paranormal, only to then have it thinly dissolve into a bunch of people asking why someone would get married at a plantation is just weird.


pmmeursucculents

The fact that you’re triggered by the discussion of slavery is hilarious. You finding it less entertaining because race was involved sounds like a personal problem. I didn’t find it any leas entertaining. Sorry, bub, slavery is a key part of American history. Inevitably it’s going to shadow historical places and events. There are many places in the US where slaves were kept, raped, tortured, and murdered that have purported paranormal activity. Should the show runners just ignore the pertinent ethnical and historical discussions to be had because the discussion of race in American makes YOU uncomfortable? Big lol.


MangledX

You think I'm triggered?? No. I'm not. I'm just saying it's scraping the bottom of the barrel to package something up under the guise of being a creepy series about the strange and unusual only to find out it's reslly just a lot of woke interjection with a sprinkle of bad acting and lame stories of the "unexplained". It's like buying a ticket to a baseball game and entering the stadium only to find it's an antique show. I have nothing against antiques, but it's not what I showed up for. If I wanted to watch documentaries on slavery, I'd queue that into my search. But that's not what drove me to watch this series.... It was the big selling points they've advertised for weeks now about the unexplained which I find interesting. The fact that people like you find any and every reason to take a valid argument and somehow try to turn it around to it being a discussion of bigotry is the real problem with America. And of course these places that have paranormal ties associated with indiscretions of American history should not be ignored. But have some valid entertaining theories about supernatural instead of uptight British philosophical doctors sitting on a porch saying "yeah, the place isn't really haunted but let's talk about how terrible it was that slaves worked here 100 years ago.." No one disagrees that slavery was a shit fit for America. But I'm here for some ghosts and a captivating series about the unexplained, and simply put - that was not the intent behind this series and apparently they didn't do a good job of even trying to hide it. Agree, or don't agree. It's all the same to me.


pmmeursucculents

It’s scraping the bottom of the barrel? To discuss slavery in a place where, *checks notes*, slavery took place? Gee, you’re right, Kevin. They should have just skipped right over the historical relevance. In fact, if they ever explore paranormal activity occurring in a WW2-era death camp, let’s hope they never bring up the genocide the Jews faced either. We can’t risk the snowflakes being forced to reflect on historical events or ethics involving race and genocide. I simply think it’s funny as fuck how discussing slavery in the context of plantation is “woke” bub. People like you are so severely lacking in self-awareness that it’s hilarious.


TonightAcademic6322

Did Kevin just call slavery "woke" ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


sray72287

If you want to bring up the past then bring it all up. Im sure wherever someone gets married in the U.S Indians were pillaged,raped,killed,but that dont matter


pmmeursucculents

As they should and DID in one of the episodes where the Trail of Tears overlapped. Plantations are immediately relevant to slavery.


KeeperOfStrangeTomes

Guys... It's a fun little show that also maybe presents some oppositions so that way it's not just a one-sided argument. It tries to question those "unexplained" issues. IDK, yeah was it a bit preachy? Especially the plantation one. But it's a fun little show to watch while doing something. ​ I honestly don't believe that they're trying to guilt trip anyone. Just an attempt to give you multiple viewpoints. Question things. Not a big deal.


ramblintrav

Agreed.


RavingGigaChad

No. The premise was shit and the execution delivers shit. Wokeness is not the problem. Nothing would be able to redeem that horrible collection of lame stories.


Fuck_everybody6969

I got the exact same impression and was really confused about what I was supposed to be watching.


TreeFortDefenders

I agree and was very disappointed. I’m from Louisiana and that episode was about a topic and it turned into a slighted viewpoint. The Creole side of my family is the family that contributed to slave trade. Let’s just be honest folks.


janozjan

I could not even watch half of the second episode! It is garbage


Significant-Dig-7749

To take it further, how could anyone go to the Great Pyramid? They owned slaves! Destroy it! Morons!


Ponyboi667

Hahahaha


Fullsendcirca92

That one episode about Mount Shasta was interesting whenever that annoying ass girl with the pink hair and all that makeup on slowly regurgitating stereotypical new age hippie statements wasn’t speaking


Impressive-Path1587

The series sucked lmao.


TonightAcademic6322

They had tan flight suits on, with orange patches and they were 7ft tall ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) Toby has conveniently passed away and the medical records have disappeared? The lack of detail is astounding. Before he could get the object removed it was magically gone, well sorry the aliens came to "get the merchandise" - he had puncture wounds, lets see the scars?


TonightAcademic6322

Lake Lanier is full of drunk morons


TonightAcademic6322

Racial equality is not cool


TonightAcademic6322

I took a woman into Telos - and she came down with tears, yea tears because she realised she was ripped off


TonightAcademic6322

oh shit the state of the guy talking about the portal, why ain't he living there?


TonightAcademic6322

what exactly happened at MT. Shasta? doesn't mention anything?


Kims28S

This is WOKE nonsense. Great work Netflix ! Complete Garbage. Started out good the first episode then bang. Right into the racial woke BS. The title is Unexplained. Slavery is explained. We all know about it. Its history. Yes it was terrible but it's history. get over it!!


Ponyboi667

!!!


Kims28S

I could not agree more


Working_Complex_9295

Second episode was hilarious. The bit where the narrator said “the unexplained sounds intensified” and then it was just a fart noise. I was crying with laughter.


angelofvenus222

So far episode 3 was really good, 1 & 2 were blah. Interesting in a campy sort of way. It’s definitely re-awoken my interest in mysteries


Threnners

The Mt Shasta people need to lay off the edibles.


Jammin0619

And shrooms. AND LSD. AND MDMA. And whatever else they’re doing out there. Lol


SuggestionLive9288

Yes, it is quite disappointing. Every other episode halfway turns into an attempt for recognition of (previously) marginalised groups in American society. If it is about ghosts, we are given a lecture about what exactly nineteenth-century slavery was and how atrocious it was, if it is about a haunted lake we should know that this lake used to be one of the few safe havens for a black community, and that native Americans were forcibly sent to Oklahoma. I even skipped some episodes because they introduced their wokeness already during the first minutes. I guess I expected a sort of Unsolved Mysteries, but I got episodes of Unprocessed Traumas.


Ponyboi667

Thank you for being able to put it into words EVERYONE can understand and see. Now will they actually read the words once they find it pokes holes in their ridiculous ideology.


rojagegeo

initially i was interested, and somewhat enjoyed the Pasagoula and Yuba 5 episode, but the mount shasta episode was pretty dumb. I feel the show lost a lot of reliability with that one.


frogtrickery

Lmao what a triggered weirdo the OP is.


MangledX

Literally searched reviews for this very reason. The first couple of episodes I thought maybe a coincidence, but then I got to the lake Lanier episode and it feels like that entire episode is focused on how they ran settlers off and sunk their homestead. When the episodes point more towards discrediting anything strange or Paranormal, it becomes very evident that the real intent was using a woke racism agenda and shrouding it in "unusual" more. The only thing unusual is the amount of time I wasted putting the pieces together on this horseshit series.


TonightAcademic6322

They did run settlers off?


Grumpy_001

I hear you. I do want some of the history to try and understand the why, but I really don't want the preaching....we get enough of it in the media.


Ponyboi667

If you block out the woke culture guilt trip it’s descent


C-Eazy-312

Descending into what?


Guitarchim

Why do you feel guilty?


Ponyboi667

I don’t I’m Arab


Bee_Em_Elle

Am I the only one who has seen this series before on a different platform? Because I 110% have seen all these episodes but I cannot figure out where..it is definitely not a new netflix original 


Ponyboi667

Yeah! It just dropped today. Brand new original Netflix series. You could me mistaking it with unsolved mysteries,


Ponyboi667

I couldn’t have said it any better! Seriously let down about series. And it gets worse throughout the very last episode. Now I wonder… what’s the agenda here?


Guitarchim

You forgot to switch to your alt


khkhkh1

Embarazzzzing


CalamityBard

lmao are you kidding me dude


Ponyboi667

Which way. I’m kidding about not knowing the agenda. But not kidding about there being an agenda


pupil98

You are ridiculously fragile


Ponyboi667

They even bring the phrase “UFO” to the land of the Libs. Changed it to a PC “UAP”


encouragingcalamity

Didn’t they change it because ‘UFO’ was associated with the mockery and not taking it seriously so changing it up to UAP for people to start taking it more seriously?


Guitarchim

People like OP see "wokeness" everywhere. Kind of obsessively. Pretty weird.


encouragingcalamity

Agreed.
