Section G : Videos Transcripts : UFO Documentaries on Youtube – Introduction

Documentaries often have the advantage of more resources than are available to many UFO researchers, not to mention the greater willingness of some experts and witnesses to give up their time to answer questions if they are being paid or have the prospect of appearing on television. UFO documentaries therefore have the potential of obtaining information or answers not readily available elsewhere.

Unfortunately, relatively few UFO documentaries have lived up to that potential…

Also, it is considerably more difficult to locate copyright holders of documentaries and obtain their permission to share relevant videos/transcripts than with podcasts, vodcasts and videos of UFO lectures/conferences. So, for the initial batch of transcripts I have focused on the easier material to obtain permission (particularly podcasts).

While I’m keen to share transcripts of documentaries, I remain troubled by permission issues. In terms of a practical solution, I have been thinking about the possibility of uploading transcripts of documentaries that have been online for many years without anyone seeming to be bothered (since they have remained online) – say, the documentaries that have been on the same link on Youtube for more than 5 years. Or perhaps documentaries that are over a certain age, in relation to which it is doubtful anyone will care if a transcript is shared (Pre-1990? Pre-2000? Pre 2010?). I’m not sure if any producers of UFO documentaries would care if an imperfect transcript were shared – not least because the transcripts may highlight the desirability of watching some documentaries which have largely been forgotten. I’d welcome views on this.

I upload a relatively small sample of transcripts of a few UFO documentaries several months ago. No copyright holder has contacted me about those uploads, making me inclined to upload a wider sample.

I’d welcome views on what transcripts (if any) of UFO documentaries should be uploaded in the absence of explicit permission to do so.

I’d also welcome views on the content and format of an information file which I think should accompany each transcript of a documentary (akin to the summary spreadsheets for podcasts/vodcasts, but a single file for each documentary). I have in mind the possibility of a small file for each documentary at least giving links to relevant IMDB entry or other online resources about the relevant documentary, possibility including a list of credits to those involved and/or a paragraph sourced from one of those links summarising the content of the documentary. I also have in mind sharing that file in both PDF and TXT format, the former so that it can be searched as part of a collection of PDFs and the latter so that the text can be amended/augmented in the future.

Furthermore, I have limited the uploads of UFO documentary transcripts because I’m not sure of the default format of filename. Should they be alphabetical or chronologically? After a few experiments during the last few months, I’ve increasingly favoured the latter and have uploaded a small sample in a format that gives the relevant year first followed by the title. That (growing) initial sample is at THIS LINK, but I’m keen to get some views on the above issues (particularly in relation to the content of the “Info Koi” text files to accompany each transcript) before uploading a lot more documentary transcripts.

Section H : Videos Transcripts : UFO Documentaries on Youtube – Documentary series

My concerns about obtaining permission are particularly acute in relation to series of UFO documentaries, since series are more likely to remain on sale as DVDs or rebroadcast years after they were originally filmed. Individual UFO documentaries are more likely to simply fade away.

Also, assuming I adopt a chronological listing of documentary transcripts with the file name starting with a relevant year, I’m not sure about the format of any filenames for a TV series. Working out the year in which each episode was broadcast may be difficult/impossible. Listing them by the year the series started may be the only option, but this will look a bit odd in relation to some of the longer running series.

In any event, it may be useful to compile a list of UFO documentary series and some resources in relation to them – even if transcripts are not uploaded due to permission issues.

So, here is an initial stab at a list of UFO documentary series broadcast on television and some resources in relation to them:

Amazing.
As always you have my thanks for amazing collation of data.

Whatever you do, on behalf of everyone who has ever researched, read about, seen a UFO or even just watched PAUL the movie:
DO NOT SELL the data to the Mellons, Rockafella or Bigelow etal Elitists that have been harvesting the data and removing it from public domain.


In memoriam MUFON database.

Section I : Videos Transcripts : UFO Documentaries on Youtube – Single documentaries

Individual UFO documentaries are, of course, far more numerous than series of documentaries.

Finding details of single documentaries can be difficult, particularly for earlier shows.

Some useful tools do, however, exist. It is possible to use these tools as a shopping list of videos to be found on Youtube or elsewhere and then create playlists of – say – UFO documentaries FROM THE 1970s, FROM THE 1980s and FROM THE 1990s or to combine transcripts with background details/information about each UFO documentary found online.

In particular, veteran ufologist Barry Greenwood has posted a useful excel spreadsheet cataloguing his personal collection of UFO documentaries and news broadcasts:
www.greenwoodufoarchive.com/inventories/TV_UFO_DVDs.xls



Similarly, Arthur Engh (a researcher in Notway) has helpfully provided detailed lists of broadcasts of numerous UFO/paranormal documentaries:

sites.google.com...





Of course, IMDB and other general movie/television websites contain a wealth of information about UFO documentaries– probably significantly more than the tools created by ufologists thus far.

The ufological and commercial tools can be used together, e.g. using the tools created by Barry Greenwood and Arthur Engh to find names of UFO documentaries which can then be searched for online to find supplemental details (e.g. on IMDB) or indeed copies with some summary (e.g. on Youtube).

I have not found any very comprehensive list of UFO documentaries on the IMDB website, but some pre-made lists do exist – e.g.:

THIS IMDB LIST by "Beaversgrad"

THIS IMDB LIST by "samnigam-62138"

THIS IMDB LIST by "dannyp777"

Some existing Youtube playlists are in themselves useful sources of relevant details of UFO/Fortean documentaries, e.g. broadcast dates – e.g. THIS PLAYLIST.

Section J : Videos Transcripts : Government videos (e.g. NASA)

In terms of permission issues, government videos (particularly from government agencies in the USA) are MUCH easier to deal with than UFO documentaries.

There aren’t many USAF or US Navy videos online that are directly relevant to UFOs, but NASA has a wealth of videos online relevant to astrobiology, SETI, space propulsion and other topics that are frequently relevant to the more rational discussions about UFOs. (Besides, I think if those of us in the UFO community are doing work that, by expanding our focus a little, can benefit researchers of related topics then we should seek to make a contribution to those fields. I hope researchers in other fields find transcripts of NASA’s numerous videos useful. Heck, I personally have an interest in many of the non-ufological topics covered by NASA’s videos, so I’d find transcripts of them useful anyway…).

So, I contacted NASA seeking permission for me to freely share transcripts of thousands of NASA’s videos.

After a few exchanges, NASA’s Commercial and Intellectual Property Law Practice Group kindly indicated that I could proceed subject to various conditions. None of those conditions caused me any difficulty and I’ll paste them below to make NASA’s position clear:

NASA has no objection to the activity you outline subject to the following (which confirms certain things you have already indicated):



- You will not be charging fees for others to use the transcripts.



- You will make clear that you undertook this project on your own initiative and that it is offered as is without warranty as to accuracy or completeness.



- You will not express or imply that your work was commissioned, approved, sponsored or reviewed by NASA.



- You will respect any third party copyrights which may be noted in the materials you transcribed.



- You will not claim copyright in the transcripts. Note that NASA reserves the right to assert copyright in non-USA jurisdictions in the materials NASA releases to the public, including derivatives thereof.



- You will otherwise comply with NASA’s Media Usage Guidelines.

NASA has numerous separate channels on Youtube. I’ve created summary spreadsheets which can be found at the top of the directory for the Youtube channels listed at the link below:
