I just finished watching Adam Gorightly and Christopher Graybill's new documentary SAUCERS, SPOOKS AND KOOKS (based on Gorightly's 2021 book of the same name), which I highly recommend... and not just because I'm in it! Even though I was given a free screener of the film by Christopher Graybill, I pre-ordered a copy to lend my financial support to the project. I'm sure I'll be referring to the film again and again in the near future for research purposes. Gorightly and Graybill did a tremendous job of making a complex, disjointed, nonlinear, decades-spanning tale of dubious aliens and international intrigue surprisingly lucid. You can pre-order the film by clicking right HERE!
Here's the filmmakers' official ballyhoo:
Saucers, Spooks, and Kooks is a journey through the lesser-known history of the UFO narrative, exploring its origins and evolution — a story that continues to shape how we perceive the current UFO phenomenon.
A cautionary tale of disinformation, Saucers, Spooks, and Kooks follows the story of scientist Paul Bennewitz, who was targeted by a mind-bending counterintelligence campaign that gave rise to enduring UFO lore. The themes of this incident spread into the 1980s UFO scene, and eventually found their way to movies and shows like The X-Files, captivating a new generation of believers. Tropes like the "Greys," underground "Reptilian" bases, and crashed saucers have had an enduring influence on popular culture and still determine how we see the UFO phenomenon today.
If you want to listen to the filmmakers discuss the documentary in their own words, I suggest checking out the 12-10-25 episode of BINNALL OF AMERICA in which Tim Binnall interviews Adam Gorightly and Christopher Graybill about SAUCERS, SPOOKS AND KOOKS at great length. You can hear the entire interview directly below...
