The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The UFO researchers bring both curiosity and skepticism to their investigations. They show interest and respect but reserve judgment when interviewing witnesses and authority figures -- all of whom can sometimes be hard to believe.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    No violence, but some witnesses describe some very unusual events.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About UFO Hunters (SciFi)

Parents need to know that viewers of this investigative reality show are encouraged to come to their own conclusions about alleged alien encounters. The UFO hunters act much like detectives; though it's clear they to believe, they want even more to be able to prove that aliens are real, and they're careful not to jump to conclusions that aren't supported by the facts. The show isn't particularly scary, though some of the interviewees do describe some very unusual events.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about aliens. Do you think we're alone in the universe or not? As the UFO researchers interview witnesses, they're careful not to jump to conclusions. What do you think? Do you believe these stories are actual UFO encounters? Why do you think so many TV shows and movies center on aliens? Do you think the producers are editing the show to make the stories seem more, or less, believable?
