There was a time when programming on The History Channel focused on, well, history. The cable television network, though, seems to be getting farther and farther away from at least conventional history, presumably in search of higher ratings.
Last evening, the featured prime time offering on THC was a new documentary on UFOs. The program featured reports on some of what it called the best documented and most credible cases-- Rendelsham Forest, the Phoenix Lights, the Belgian Wave, and others. The program also pointed out how easy it is today to fake UFO images and video by using software to manipulate such things.
All in all, it was an interesting program. Assuming the facts presented were correct, the documentary made a good case for taking the study of UFOs more seriously. Of course, having to assume facts are good is a problem. Perhaps the next THC effort in this area should feature both UFOlogists and skeptics and weigh which side has the stronger grasp on reality.
