So they can manage intergalactic travel, but they can't get everybody back in their original seat in the car after the abduction? You had one job, Zorb. One job!

I thought this was going to be the best episode of the series premier, but this story just wasn't that great. It wasn't bad by any means, but I think it's just a story we've all heard before, albeit very believable. They need more like this, in my opinion, but just a tad more interesting.
I'm a skeptic

It is an Unsolved Mystery

With seemingly endless UFO cases available this is a weak choice but good they are still into the subject

If you do not believe in Alien life or UFO in 2020 you are very simple , scared, way way too religious or you need to read way more or go educate yourself on the subject. Hundreds of billions of galaxies , hundreds of trillions of stars , a number of plants that we do not even have words to comprehend and all this is from what we now know which means there is way way more than that. All that just in this universe which is very likely just one universe of an endless slew of universes , and simple people still think we are alone . We're a bunch of dump chimps just inching our way now into the slightest bit of technology and we've only been humans for around 100,000 to 200,000 years. What do you think we will be like in a million years time , what do you think the other intelligent life in our universe or others that can get into ours who have already been around for millions of years would be able to do , or how advanced their technology would be.

This episode was bad. I love UFO stories but all this was reports of bright lights and lost time. No evidence just people telling a story slowly. I know what I saw right ok well I've heard it before and you need evidence otherwise it's boring.

This hits home. My grandmother has always told us stories of the UFO she saw in 1969. I always believed her, considering she doesn't have a the ability to lie. Most people said, "she didn't see it." Or, "she saw something else." But she always stuck with it, and now we know, she wasn't the only one. Thank you Netflix.
Only weak episode in the first volume

I thoroughly enjoyed the other five episodes in this volume. This one is pretty terrible though. It's just your run of the mill UFO story with a bunch of nutballs describing some bright lights they might have seen. The only unsolved mystery here is how this story made the cut and got thrown in with more riveting ones.
Doesn't deserve a rating lower than 10

I have to defend this episode to those non-believers.
People from different places reporting the same exact situation at the same time -- not made up.
This may or may not be a UFO or Alien Invasion but something happened that night and this is why it's included in the Unsolved Mystery cases. They experienced and saw something which couldn't be explained.
Great job for the producers who decided to include this in first season.
Felt like I'd been abducted!!

I had always interest in UFOs. I believe out of billions of stars and planets revolving around them in Milky Way, there could be life somewhere. You can find many fake videos and UFO witnesses on the internet but there are many credible videos and witnesses too. For example, videos from space station, fighter jets etc and witnesses like astronauts, fighter pilots, presidents etc. There have been many investigations by governments on UFO phenomenon and there are still few government agencies working on UFO sightings. Despite, many people are still understandably skeptic. Now when Pentagon have openly accepted that the UFOs exist, I think it's time that we too start to have an open mind about it. About the episode, it was fascinating.
closed it after 15 minutes

Meh...how many times have we heard this before ...i was going to give them the benefit of the doubt knowing the leaked reports about the military trying these secret UFO like planes which might explain the numerous sightings over the years..but they were lifted ? they were on a ship ? OK ...
It's right there!!

An UFO? Really? There have been really shocking stories about unsolved murders and suddenly some rednecks talk about getting abducted by an UFO. I really had to look at the Netflix menu to check if I switched accidently to another show. This is an insult to western culture. Get your sh**t togehter Netflix!
This was so cringe I had to stop at 13 minutes...

Not my favorite episode
meisterpat12 December 2020
No photos, no police reports (five different towns), no radio station recordings, no newspaper articles. Basically no credibility.
Who says: "in a blink, in a flash, I was gone"? Maybe "I was watching him and in a blink, in a flash, HE was gone". Maybe "in a blink, in a flash, I was somewhere else".
In a blink, in a flash, I realized I just lost 40 minutes of my life watching this episode. The rest of the series is pretty darn good.
just like the original series

Yeah meanwhile the French one I had to sit and fall asleep through subtitles has the highest ranking reflects the pretentious bougie numbnuts that pervade the Netflix subscriber-base. This show is not supposed to be the gazillionth true-crime documentary show many of you take it for. All you imbeciles saying you don't know why there's an episode about UFOs in this series proves you never saw the original show. The original was mandatory viewing in the 90s, and besides cases of missing persons and unsolved murders there were supernatural stories and yes even UFOs.
This story was great because all these people who don't know each other including whole families who ended up losing their livelihoods when they tried to speak up all saw and experienced the same things. And the fact this was recorded 50 years after the events means that there are untold people who could have corroborated the story further had they not died of old age. I'm not a believer in aliens, but this was hard to wave away. I think if there are aliens and they could actually come to earth from outside our galaxy they would be advanced enough that they wouldn't just come here and abduct people and return them, they'd wipe us off the planet take our natural resources and move on. If they were friendly they'd make meaningful contact not risk hostility by abducting people. And of course other explanations for UFOs including foreign or domestic military tech don't explain the abduction accounts.
If you didn't like this episode, you can blame that on the current production's insistence on using the documentary interview format and not using dramatic recreations - which would have made a lot of sense for this story - and I dotingly flex that my wife (who also loved this episode more than the others) was an extra in one such recreation as a child back in the original Robert Stack iteration of the series.

As a person not really into the whole UFO/alien thing, I didn't like this episode as much as the others. However, the eyewitness accounts were relevant and the visuals paired well with the stories. But it doesn't really fit in with the other episodes.
Berkshires UFO.

Thought this was a factual show, how the families of victims in previous episodes feel about this episode following. "Just look at the sky, you'll eventually see something," yeah you will. Kirchdorfer looks like an old Sarah Michelle Gellar! The grandma said to have been switched into the driver's seat and her never driving, a nice touch, heh. Pointless episode though, could have turned it off at any time.
