Getting started with UFO documentaries
16
items Edgy topic, but many of us think about it. Few of us try to learn more. My interest in the UFO phenomenon began in 2020. After many documentaries and docuseries, I've learned that this topic is deep, wide, and nebulous. Confusing. Captivating. There ...

For anyone completely new or with casual interest in the topic.
Look past the TMZ part. This docuseries is from Jeremy Corbell, one of the guys at the forefront of the disclosure effort. He's flashy and dramatic at times, but he presents both relevant and recent information on UAP.
UFO Revolution (2025)
This is a specific episode about Roswell, the most famous UFO story ever. Donald and Kevin have been investigating this event for decades. The level of detail in their reporting is amazing, not to mention their list of witnesses.
Unsolved Mysteries - The Roswell UFO Incident (2024)
Get Curious
Hear personal stories, history, and investigations.
Heavily narrative driven. This 4-part series does deep dives on massively famous events. Here you'll be introduced to many regular people from all over the world saying some pretty wild stuff.
Encounters (2023)
James Fox is a powerhouse in this space. He does a great job in this doc with setting the scene around the systematic cover-up conspiracy.
The Phenomenon (2020)
Follow George Knapp as he pursues his life's work to the ends of the earth. He's an A-list name in this space as an investigative journalist. Remember, he's the guy who broke the Bob Lazar story in the 80s.
Investigation Alien (2024)
Dig Deeper
Feed your interest with legendary cases, people, and theories.
A personal favorite of mine. Corbell's style of fimography is cool, and Lazar's story is … out there. Look, I want to believe him. I really do. Decide for yourself what's what.
Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers (2018)
A deep dive on another hugely famous event, this time from Brazil. Fox does a nice job of doggedly chasing the story decades after the fact and trying to show you the balanced findings.
Moment of Contact (2022)
Focuses on Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, which is allegedly a hotbed for the paranormal. Corbell is at it with (I believe) his first doc. Hold on tight.
Hunt for the Skinwalker (2018)
Sequel to Moment of Contact. Not out yet. I'll update this rec once I have a better link.
Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters (2025)
Go Hard
Immerse in highly speculative and polarizing viewpoints.
Fox shows you just how deep the conspiracy goes with the US government. Don't get out your pitchfork just yet. Watch and make up your own mind.
The Program (2024)
I'm writing this before this doc became available to stream. I've read that it's crazy good and features a jaw-dropping list of witnesses and sources. Can't wait to see it in a few weeks.
The Age of Disclosure (2025)
Say hello to Steven Greer. No one says such wild stuff as confidently as he does. Remember to stay level-headed as you watch, but give yourself enough grace to actually consider what he's saying.
The Lost Century (2023)
More from Greer. You either like him, or you don't, but the guy has been at it for a long time. He's quite well connected and, in my opinion, is worth listening to at the very least.
Unacknowledged (2017)
If you've watched down to this point of the list, you know Greer and many of the faces in this doc. There's going to be plenty of overlap, but it's going to fill or pad certain areas of the discourse.
Battle For Disclosure (2024)
A deep cut recommendation. Phil Schneider is an … interesting fellow. His claims are so far out there and pretty easy to dismiss, until you learn what happened to him after the fact. Still processing this one.
The Underground: Director's Cut (2021)
A decent series to poke through. I haven't watched it from beginning to end, but rather picked a few episodes that seemed interesting.
Alien Disclosure Files (2024)
