Fox's Alien Week featured AZ UFOs, A51 worker

I saw Fox's Alien Week presentation of UFOs, the best evidence yet
caught on tape.  Jonathan Frakes' narration was, at best, lame hype.
I know, it was the script and not him.  But at least it could have
sounded a bit more unbiased. The one thing that was made clear to me,
which should have been obvious to those who watched, the Phoenix
lights were flares dropped by the A-10s flown by the Maryland Air
National Guard.  The pattern would suggest the flares were jettisoned
as one of the aircraft was in a banking turn.

There were some clips that left me wondering if a hoax was being
played.  The magically appearing crop circles screams out digital
editing.  But then there were clips that just made me think, yes it is
a UFO maybe even from another planet.

The Area 51 worker interviewed must have been REALLY scared because I
couldn't even understand his or her muffled voice.  The words he or
she used that I did understand didn't sound as if they were coming
from a physicist or highly educated technician.  He or she was
probably a contractor or laborer who saw something he or she wasn't
supposed to see.  The blip that was shown left much to be desired.
Could have been anything, even a UFO or tethered radar reflector.  Who
knows?

The program was geared towards an audience ready to believe, not those
who are seeking unbiased answers.  I would offer that anything
narrated by Number One must be taken as pure entertainment and not as
rational investigative material.
