I Know What I Saw (2009) watch online HD

Directed by James Fox, "I know What I Saw" is a feature length documentary on UFOs. The film is regarded as one of the best in its genre by many in the "paranormal community".

Built around a National Press Club assembly in Washington DC, the film finds Fox attempting to overwhelm his audience with what he considers to be "facts". In this regard, he gathers a variety of high ranking UFO witnesses, most of whom are astronauts, scientists, military and commercial pilots, government officials, politicians, presidents, mayors, police officers, soldiers and military base commanders. A giant "appeal to authority", Fox's film attempts to overturn the notion that UFOs are sighted only by bumpkins and hicks.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about the UFO "phenomenon" is the way it facilitates a kind of ontological horror. For fans of both horror and science fiction, UFO mythology, like the writings of H. P. Lovecraft almost a century ago, has the ability to induce a very specific terror: one which overturns and challenges nothing less than man's entire conception of "reality". The philosophical flip-side, of course, is equally horrific; mankind as utterly alone, doomed and bound to the rules of entropy and decay.

9/10 – Works well as a horror film, regardless of the veracity of its testimonies.

Out of the many variations of UFO documentaries that are available, 2009's "I Know What I Saw" is a unique entry, focusing its efforts on international government officials revealing information they have on the subject, instead of the more typical scare-tactic filmmaking techniques that litter the genre. Although its approach allows it a distinct weight and severity, the movie nevertheless suffers from its flat visual presentation, as it's difficult to make much visual suspense out of government officials speaking at conferences, and ultimately the movie becomes rather boring and repetitive.
