Aliens! What are they like? We all want to know; are they watching us, or are they already here, getting involved with our daily activities? Documentary A Tear in the Sky aims to move the ongoing discussion forwards by answering these questions in a positive manner. Sure, there’s no end of hokey home-made docs about UFOs, or UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) as we can them today, but Caroline Cory’s feature manages to plough a fresh furrow by mixing things up with scientists, military personnel who claim to have witnessed your actual spaceship action, and the venerable William Shatner, a recent rocket-man himself at the age of 80.
So what’s going on here? NASA and the US government have recently declassified a number of videos that can’t be easily explained; films like the US Navy’s ‘TicTac’ video of darting capsules have mystified many, and led to witnesses being ostracised due to need of others to rubbish their claims. Cory and her team of experts bring a wealth of fancy equipment to Catalina Island, Laguna, California, where they mount a rooftop vigil, hoping to catch a glimpse of extra-terrestrial manoeuvres over five days of intensive study of the night skies. And guess what? Much like the Falkirk triangle, where I live dead centre in the UK’s hotspot of alien sightings, Cory and her team find plenty of acrtivitiy in California and DO come back with something…
…but you’ll have to watch to find out! What Cory’s team find isn’t easy to explain, but if you want to think outside the box, it’s certainly evidence of a kind; even Shatner announces with enthusiasm that he finds the results ‘crazy’. But while it’s easy to poke fun, the idea that there’s someone else out there isn’t really that mad; it would surely be folly to imagine that we’re the be-all-and–end all of life in the universe, and Cory’s look at possible wormholes seems more credible than might have been expected.
Are there tears in the sky where alien craft, far beyond our technology, are sneaking through to have a swatch at us? Who knows, but A Tear in the Sky is a fairly absorbing 90 minutes for UFO buffs and Trekkies alike; you may not be ignoring your family to make models of mountains out of mashed potatoes quite yet, but those who want to believe will find plenty of original information here to be going on with…
A Tear In the Sky is out now for purchase on US streaming services including Apple+, Vudu and Prime, and via Prime in the UK.

I always knew someone would parcel up all the UFO stuff and present them with more authority than the usual nutcases but I wait to be convinced. Just because someone can’t find an explanation doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
This doc does make a serious point about not rubbishing people because they believe, and I think it’s a fair point. This doc is quite stagey, and Shatner is hardly a scientific debunker, but it’s nice to see such a slick production in an over-exploited area that is often the preserve of the silly.
True!
Is the correct answer.
What was the question? Boba Fett?
Are you Boba Fett?
Is the correct question.
I was just having a conversation with a friend this week about alien life, something I talk about approximately 0% of the time. I’m more skeptical than she is, but I also admitted that we can’t possibly know everything….so who knows!
Agreed. But there’s no harm in looking, and the point is made that we have no idea what kind of tech that aliens might use. In the world we’re living in, I can think of far worse ways of spending time that trying to figure these mysteries out…
I’ll watch it just because I’ve photographed UFO’s accidentally and I want to see if theirs are the same!
Wotsup? Not speaking to me today?
Always got time for you! Have requested your alien pics!
OK will email you one later and see if you can see the spacships!
I’ll be in suspenders until then!
Pictures or it didn’t happen!
Undo your suspenders I’ve emailed your google email with some pics!
Well, that appears to be concrete evidence of an alien invasion! Did they leave any forwarding address or details? Seem to be flying in quite an organised formation…
No, I think they were on the way to somewhere else as I took that a few years ago and they didn’t turn up here. Unless……
Unless they’re already here! How close to Brexit was this?
Not very, a good few years since I did that, but they could have left young ones here to integrate.
Do you have any suspicions as to who the integrated aliens might be? I have an integrated kitchen, could I be one?
Nope.
Sigh. I’ve got my eye on a few suspects.
Do tell! Have they got green blood?
Won’t know until I’ve captured them and begun my autopsy.
Pictures or it didn’t happen!
Sorry I missed this! Have you posted your pics? Pics or it didn’t happen!
I’m curious to see these pics as well now.
I cannot wait to see these actual aliens!
copied you in.
Why is the sky crying?
More credible than.
Even with the Shat on deck I’m passing. This wormhole stuff is a big stretch, and otherwise the distances are too great for us to be receiving any alien visitors. We may not be alone in the universe, but in practical terms we’re on our own.
I wondered if I’d need to explain that; it’s a tear, like a tear in yer troosers, not a tear, ie water that comes out of your eye.
We’re getting alien vistors all the time over here, mate, so that proves there must be workholes. fact!
Aliens are coming to Scotland to find work? I guess as long as they’re not illegal. I hear that’s no fun.
Arene’t all aliens illegal? They just seem to fly around Falkirk in their spaceships….
They just have to fill out forms. A pink one, a red one . . . it doesn’t count man, it ain’t written in ink.
Is that how you deal with aliens in Canadaland?
sigh

Is that the most august source you have? Sure Shatner knows best?
Just trying to expand your musical horizons. Surprised they even allow that video on YouTube these days . . .

Still working on my Canadian in Scotland video. Scouting locations.
You’re welcome to come to Blanefield, just watch out for the aliens and fairies.
Just for the record, I’m the guy doing the pointing. I’m showing aliens where the bathroom is…
I suspected you as being involved. It’s pure hoaching with alien activity over here…
Wormholes really do a number on the bladder, so it’s only polite to point the facilities out.
It’s that or blast them with bazookas…
Like they don’t know where it is with their superior intellect that has travelled 20 billion miles to find us.
You’d be surprised! Just look at ET 😉
I see him every day when I look in the mirror.
Well, just in case then, the bathroom is over THERE
* points *
With a long wizened finger?
No, mine are pretty stubby actually. and grubby.
So you can trust me when I point out where the bathroom is 😉
ET has long wizened fingers. FaCt!
I concur. And he kidnaps young children for his own mysterious reasons. I wouldn’t trust him with a reeses pieces, much less telling someone where the bathroom is!
Does he kidnap kids? Only saw it once and hated it. Didn’t believe in ET, didn’t feel like a true story in the way that Gremlins did.
I don’t know what else to call it when an alien makes a bicycle fly with a kid on it to avoid the lawful authorities. If that’s not kidnapping, then we need to re-think some legal terms.
Law seems to be the pinball of the wealthy these days. I suggest you address your lawsuit to Mr S Spielberg.
Isn’t he the guy who forces really old men to hid in refrigerators while nuclear bombs go off?
Not sure if I want to force an issue with someone like that. Not without a sniper rifle anyway…
His best work is outstanding. Not defending the fridge nuking, but he’s a protected species.
But he could ride a bike.
I’d make a clever joke about bikes and bathrooms right about now, but my bathroom humor’ometer is on empty.
sorry Brian, we’ll have to try again another day. Next time Dix gives me even the slightest opportunity to talk about bathrooms though, GAME ON!
As long as we are clear on the rules and there’s no Butch Cassidy nonsense.
Wut? There are no rules in commenting. Well, no disintegrations I guess. oh, and no talking about ble btt*ms (Dix doesn’t like that).
Shoot, I guess there are rules after all.
That’s a bummer.
I think it would be helpful if the owner of this blog reviewed a movie about commenting on blogs
hint hint hint
Is there one?
If anyone would know, I’d assume it would be you.
Go forth and find out!
Is there one?
I have no idea. I’m a book reviewer, not a movie watcher.
BUT, if anyone can find out, I’m sure Dix can…
That explains your moniker. I wondered.
I try to make it pretty obvious 😀
No point in that.
It’s hard to know what they’re up to, but it might be beyond out ken…
Or our Barbie.
