Hi Quix.
Watched the show last night - first time I've watched a TV show in a really long time - also, since it was not cable, I was able to get it.
I thought the special pretty good, to be honest. Non committal, as expected.
The Mogul solution makes some sense to me RE Roswell, although there are other things that need explaining there. The number of flakes attracted to and the amount money extacted from Roswell have muddied the water of that case, to say the least.
The LEO and pilot testimony in the beginning of the show was quite compelling, IMO, especially the guys from the B-52. It was nice seeing the footage of Dr. Hynek, too. Also, the CUNY prof at the very end made an impression.
Lots of ground they could have covered, but didn't find time for - ancient astronauts, panspermia, Magonia for instance.
I am something of a skeptic, but find it difficult to dismiss a lot of the reports, considering the qualifications and variety of the observers. As for those demanding physical proof, that is kind of like a member of a primitive isolated tribe demanding proof of the existence of airplanes by demanding to be shown an actual piece of one (Putting aside for a moment the theories that we do have actual wreckage and pieces). Airplanes do exist, even though not everyone has access to a piece of one.
Anyhow, whether or not it is true that we are being visited by UFO's, the idea is fascinating, compelling and plausible. I agree with those who think it worthy of continued series exploration. Actually, "worthy" is probably not a strong enough term.
tHANKS.
Are you aware that the MOGUL dummies were not used AT ALL IN THE MOGUL PROGRAM UNTIL 3-5 YEARS AFTER the Rosewell crashes?
There is little doubt people are seeing "something", however there is little proof of what it actually is. As for your airplane analogy, I don't think it takes into consideration that "spaceships in the sky" and "little green men" are inventions of the 20th century. Yes, some ancient pictures show man in the sky, but could have been based on hope, or desire, and rarely if ever has there been an ancient picture of a "flying saucer". If alien civilizations actually exist, and they wish to visit earth, and are capable, I think it highly unlikely their arrival would exactly coincide with human flight.

More notetaking.
