The UFO phenomenon and the subject of extraterrestrial life have been examined in many television programs and films within the boundaries of science fiction. On the other hand, especially in recent years, the developments in space technologies and the intense interest of scientists in planets other than Earth have led to the production of many documentaries on ufology. The documentary Contact is the first documentary to address the cases of extraterrestrial life in Anatolia. In the documentary, the historical formation of the contact cases experienced in Turkey is examined in the context of the reality dimension of the ufology phenomenon. The story of the documentary Contact is addressed in a multifaceted manner, from ancient structures in Anatolia to historical events and UFO videos to individual contacts. The documentary Contact is based on the experiences and opinions of distinguished academics, retired officers, archaeologists, art historians, television broadcasters, journalists, UFO researchers, metaphysics experts, and contactees who have had contact with extraterrestrial beings.

REVIEWS:

The story about the sunken island of Vordonisi and the witches is a ready-made script for a horror movie!

Alexander Calcerrada

Finally! I always knew that Göbeklitepe wasn't just a temple. The theory that the faceless T-pillars depict giants or aliens because depicting god was forbidden is mind-blowing. Turkey is the new Egypt for ufology!

Alan Martinez

The most convincing part is the interviews with pilots. When the General describes how four F4s chased the objects , I got goosebumps. Pilots are reliable witnesses, they know the sky. The argument that the object didn't burn up in the atmosphere at such speed is hard to argue against.

Jorge Gomez Perez

Everything is mixed up here... The documentary jumps from serious archaeology to stories about three-fingered Mamacans. The story about the vanished British regiment in 1915 is a long-debunked myth, yet here it's presented as an alien abduction fact. Interesting as folklore, but it lacked scientific rigor for me.

Alexander Par

I was hooked by the historical aspect. I'd never heard about UFOs during the fall of Constantinople in 1453! TThe idea that lights in the sky affected the morale of both armies sounds plausible, whatever those lights actually were. It shows how celestial phenomena changed the course of history.

Humberto Vázquez

A very deep film. I liked that they talk about a shift in consciousness. The story of the woman who was healed after contact proves that aliens aren't always a threat, but spiritual guides. The concept that they communicate telepathically and change us for the better. resonates deeply.
