Greer makes big promises about all the evidence that's never been shown before in a documentary but he proves once again to be full of hot air. Sorry Greer, don't ask us to pull your finger then tell us that odd rumble accompanied by the smell of rotten eggs was a spaceship. You're as busted as Dolly Parton, and this self-serving Sci-Fi documentary only reinforces the case against UFO's, ET's and aliens.
Starts out with some decent graphics and good music (Louis Armstrong), however it soon becomes evident that a more appropriate name for "Unacknowledged" would be "An Ode To Steven Greer's Ego".
Greer is a self-serving narcissist who struts about flexing his biceps and patting himself on the back whilst touting himself as being one of the only crusaders with the courage to openly discuss aliens and UFOs's, and fight the government for disclosure. He even manages to squeeze out some crocodile tears in one interview during the movie, whilst explaining his lonely quest fighting big corporations/military industrial complex so he can bring the world free energy and be the global ambassador to aliens. In fact most of the movie seems to be about the Greatness Of Greer and his subliminal hints that he's a modern day Jesus Christ who is also persecuted for his beliefs.
Another issue he seems self-righteously indignant about is ex CIA chief James Woolsey's infamous letter stating that there was NO debriefing with Greer, it was merely a dinner that he and friends had to politely sit through trying to maintain straight faces as Greer waffled on about aliens. Greer smugly looks at the camera and loudly proclaims he has PROOF that he debriefed Woolsey on UFO's, and then waves around some piece of paper that the camera doesn't show us as this "evidence" he's claiming to provide. If there is such proof, why doesn't Greer publish it on his website so we can all see that Greer is truthful and Woolsey is not?
Excerpts of US presidents and government officials are played during this movie, and they're asked about their beliefs in UFO's during late night comedy shows like Kimmel. They joke about aliens but Greer seems to think this is PROOF that they know about UFO's (since he alleges he has debriefed some of them) and if any government officials etc who are high ranking declare they have never been told about UFOs's or aliens, Greer quickly says "they weren't on a need-to-know basis". He even alleges that some US presidents are not on a "need-to- know-basis". Greer followers, and new-age and Ufology believers will stubbornly cling to their beliefs the more one debunks their anecdotes with rational, scientific facts, often becoming downright aggressive and evasive, proving Aleksander Pushkin's wise quote saying 'Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.' In the movie, Greer quickly spits out Admiral Lord Hill-Norton's name as an authority who believes in UFO's and thinks they are of "National Defense Interest". I might add that some of the British aristocracy including Hill-Norton are believers in new-age twaddle, including seances that were clearly hoaxed, faked photos of fairies that Arthur Conan-Doyle thought were real, the fake Mitchell-Hedges "crystal skull" etc etc. All of these have been debunked as elaborate hoaxes just like Majestic 12 as well as Greer's boast about having an alien mummy in his possession which turned out to be a human child with a deformity.
Greer rehashes the same tired interviews of astronauts and military personnel like Philip Corso who think that what they've seen are UFO's or ET's, yet there's no scientific proof other than secondhand anecdotal evidence. Greer's "unimpeachable witnesses" include the usual UFO circuit like Timothy Good (who appears well-meaning but is gullible and deceptive), and Rick Doty who was allegedly an air-force disinformation man and trickster near Area 51 (see Mirage Men which is a more balanced UFO documentary and has interviews with Rickster The Trickster). Greer also gets in some nasty digs about Carl Sagan whom he alludes to as someone who knew there were ET's but never had the courage to come out with it (unlike the brave hero Greer considers himself to be).
Overall, a boring Sci-Fi documentary with no new "evidence", although the Greer Groupies who attack anyone who disagrees with their dear leader will consider it "proof" of ET's...
