About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like UFO mysteries told through found footage and a slow-burn build, similar to Alien Abduction or The Cloverfield Paradox; Not for you if you want nonstop action or clear, tidy answers.
Pros: creepy found-footage vibe; grounded real-event hook; tension builds steadily | Cons: slow early stretch; plot holes; some unnecessary scenes
