When you do this, you are essentially naming others to be liars. I am not talking of the "masses" who read a book or saw something on a website. I am talking of the actual people who have offered testimony.
Perhaps none of these people are personally known to you. But I have heard first hand from two different people who have encountered these types of experiences.

I offered some criticisms, now 70 posts ago.
Tenet Nosce Wrote:Now... there are a few very shortcomings the presentation:
1. Little talk on the evolution of consciousness, or the link to technology.
2. No mention of religion as a primary control mechanism of the masses.
3. Promotes victim mentality. Yes... so humanity was manipulated by the ruling elite... but who is really responsible? The manipulators or the manipulated? The answer is both. But there is little talk of how humanity asked for cheap food, and then looked the other way as to how it was being produced. Or how Americans demanded cheap loans, and then took them even if they knew that couldn't pay them back.
4. No mention of anything subterranean with respect to the ET phenomenon.
EDIT: 5. No mention of ancient cultures which possessed advanced technologies.
So, either Foster is unaware of these things, or he chose not to speak about them. Either way, it is enough to warrant some real criticism. But not enough to dismiss the whole thing out of hand.
Also, might I mention again that there is a Fact Check section which outlines the sources for various statements made throughout the movie. So, perhaps it would be constructive for critics to argue against specific points, and demonstrate how the offered facts are wrong.
This might actually help to create some real value from this video, in contrast to bantering back and forth, as we are somewhat prone to do.
