Took advantage of a long flight to watch all 4.5 hours of Season 2 of NatGeo's UFOs: Investigating the Unknown series.

I found it to be one of the better and more nuanced documentaries on this controversial topic. It contains no commentary, just competent editing of interviews of a surprisingly large cast of PhDs with thoughtful takes. The series does not give in to sensationalism that so readily infects similar shows, even when addressing the more delicate topics of close encounters and alleged abductions. It manages to paint "experiencers" in a charitable yet not uncritical light.

It was also interesting to learn about pioneering science being applied to the treatment of UAP phenomena, such as the use of mass spectrometry in studying extraterrestrial debris (see https://doi.org/g6sw82).
