Welcome to the blogosphere, Kris!
Now, if only I could somehow convince Stan Friedman to sign up.
Paul Kimball
- Fortean Times
"Certainly one of the best documentaries of the past few years... well done!"
"Canadian director/producer Paul Kimball is a man who knows ufology. While he may not be a favourite with many notables in the UFO research community - due to his tendency to state what he thinks of various theories, cases and personalities quite openly - he does know the history behind the topic very well, and brings a natural skepticism as well (without being a debunking zealot). Indeed, one could hardly think of a better person to produce a definitive documentary about the best UFO sightings to this point. Well, happy times are here, because Kimball has recently completed exactly that: Best Evidence: Top Ten UFO Sightings... The interviews with ufologists and experiencers are shot beautifully, and for me were the central focus of Best Evidence. Not having the access to conferences and events that some do, it's always a pleasure for me to watch the experts explain their point of view - and Kimball gives them plenty of chance to do so. Friedman brings gravitas as well as some theatre with his wonderfully intoned comments, Brad Sparks speaks with a knowledge of ufological history as well as technical nous, and Mac Tonnies offers a wonderful concluding comment to the documentary. I am told that the DVD, when it goes on sale, will offer a second disc with extended interviews covering not only the top ten presented here, but others as well - something to look forward to. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled on your local television station, and hope that it comes your way soon. And also that Paul Kimball continues to receive commissions to create fascinating documentaries of the standard of Best Evidence.
- Greg Taylor, The Daily Grail
"The ten cases you present are truly stunning. I can't imagine anyone watching this would not be left thinking: what the hell is going on? Why isn't anyone studying this? You've done a truly excellent job! Though I was familiar with most of these cases, you managed to even astonish me."
- Patrick Huyghe, The Anomalist
"With welcome commentary by Brad Sparks, Richard Hall and Stanton Friedman, "Best Evidence" rises to the top of the UFO documentary pile by virtue of its eloquence, brevity and innate respect for a phenomenon which, unlike lesser attempts, it doesn't pretend to be able to solve."
- Mac Tonnies, Posthuman Blues
"Here at last is a documentary produced not only by someone who knows what he's talking about but who has also delivered a fact-driven, objective piece of work featuring people who also know what they're talking about. Simple, clear, unsensational, to the point; an outstanding piece of work and a piece of work we can use to point others to as a perfect example of what the subject of UAPs/UFOs is all about."
- Stuart Miller, UFO Review
"An excellent, thought-provoking and illuminating study of some of the most profound UFO cases on record.... A true breath of fresh air in the field of UFO documentaries."
- Nick Redfern, UFO Mystic
"A magnificent documentary. It picked out the cases as put forth by people who basically vetted them all out and looked at them and said, 'okay, here you go, here's the top cases.' That's what needs to be done... It was perfect. It was absolutely perfect."
- Dave Furlotte, Strange Days... Indeed
"Paul Kimball has raised the bar, decidedly, on what constitutes a competent film documentary about UFOs, and he has produced a work at once wonderfully convincing and thoroughly authoritative... indeed as interesting as it is compelling in every conceivable way."
- Alfred Lehmberg, UFO Magazine
"Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO Sightings is not just 'perhaps', but most definitely 'is' the must see UFO documentary of the decade."
- Jason Gammon, Boy In The Machine
- Greg Bishop, UFO Mystic
- Jeremy Vaeni, Book of Thoth Podcasts
