As Above So Below
J.J. Abrams and Showtime Are Teaming Up to Make a Docuseries About UFOs
As rumblings about UFO sightings continue to emerge in the news, it seems that J.J. Abrams wants in on the action. The director' Bad Robot Productions is partnering with Showtime to create a four-part docuseries about UFO sightings, examining the history of the phenomenon.
All four episodes of the series, titled UFO, will become available at midnight on August 8 and will premiere on the network's linear channel at 9 p.m. ET. Showtime describes the series as a look at the "unsettling theories of a subject that recently reached national headlines, and has historically been the focus of powerful politicians and CEOs, while average citizens pursuing the very same truth have been ridiculed and ostracized.”
UFO will be directed by Mark Monroe and Paul Crowder, both veterans of the documentary space. Monroe has consistently worked as a documentary screenwriter over the years, most notably on Icarus, the 2017 Oscar-winner for Best Documentary Feature. In addition to directing, Crowded has served as an editor on many documentaries, including the Ron Howard-directed The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years.
The new docuseries arrives at a time when the United States government is being more open about its practice of tracking UFOs. In April, the Pentagon confirmed that the US Navy had taken photos and footage of U.A.P.s (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) and that they were the subject of ongoing investigations.
Additionally, the United States Department of Defense will release an official report about UFO sightings by June 25. For more about the information that could be contained in the upcoming analyses, read our breakdown of who is compiling the report and how much we could find out from it.
