Feature Film Review: THE MAN WHO SAW THEM ARRIVE. Directed by Zev Howley

One night in 1968, Colin Cameron witnessed something that would consume the rest of his life. Filming unexplained phenomena in suburban Melbourne, his search for truth blurred the line between obsession and survival. Through family testimony and landmark UFO cases, this film explores a hidden chapter of Australia’s unexplained history.

Review by Victoria Angelique:

Do you believe in UFOs and Aliens? The feature documentary THE MAN WHO SAW THEM ARRIVE tells the story of Colin Cameron, an Australian man that claims to have witnessed a UFO landing on January 6, 1968. This film serves as a tribute to Colin from those that loved him as they talk about his life and how this encounter impacted his mental health. 

Colin Cameron had footage of what he stated was a UFO landing and the documentary even shows his grainy film footage. Cameron knew what he saw and would teach other people in his life about the incident. There was a round burnt ring and the documentary even interviews other people that claimed to see UFOs throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. The witnesses include school children in Australia and a man that took classes on UFOs in the United States. One man was in England, but the question to skeptics remains, did they actually see UFOs?

This film will have audiences questioning who is telling the truth. Footage shows politicians giving plausible explanations for UFOs or stating to the public that they are looking for plausible explanations to the sightings. Being told that someone didn’t witness something that was being taught in universities during the 1970s on how to search for UFOs would impact anyone’s mental health. The documentary shows photographs and grainy footage of what appears to be Polaroids or film footage of UFO sightings. 

Colin Cameron’s mental health is reported to have declined throughout his life. This seems reasonable when even his colleagues and friends would’ve thought he was crazy. He knew what he saw and was only able to find a handful of people to believe him. That would make anyone depressed when they are being told to deny something that they truly believe was real.

Fortunately for Colin, his legacy remains as he has loved ones continuing to search for what he saw. He has people that believe him and are joining in the search for an explanation to the footage he captured. This documentary will have viewers questioning what is out there and if Colin really did something on January 6, 1968 based on the film footage shown within the film.
