From what sounds like an off-the-wall, wing-nut-inspired
concept, Mirage Men delivers a documentary that really gives
you something to chew on. The basic premise is that UFOs, the perceived
conspiracy surrounding the mystery of their existence, and the entire narrative
that continues to this day, is in fact built on an expansive, and continuous,
campaign of disinformation from the United States government. This is a
fascinating look, not only at the subculture of UFO enthusiasts, but also paranoia,
distrust, and the lengths the powers that be are willing to go to in order to
protect their secrets and muddy the waters.
