Beyond Best Evidence: The UFO Enigma -- IndieGoGo
Beyond Best Evidence: The UFO Enigma
In 2007, we made Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO sightings, a 48 minute documentary for television in Canada and New Zealand that provided a look at 10 of the best evidence UFO cases in history, as chosen by some of the worlds leading UFO researchers, including Stanton Friedman, Kevin Randle, Brad Sparks, Don Ledger, Nick Pope, Nick Redfern, Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Chris Styles, Chris Rutkowski, Joel Carpenter, the late Richard Hall, the late Mac Tonnies, the late Karl Pflock, and many others. Each researcher had submitted their top ten list, which were then averaged together to come up with the top 10 cases.
You can see the original version of the film at the Redstar Films website.
This was just the tip of the iceberg there were over 50 other top cases that received votes. Taking all of these cases together, one is left with an irrefutable case for the objective reality of the UFO phenomenon, and that was the purpose of Best Evidence not to provide answers, but to show, once and for all and beyond any reasonable doubt, that something still unexplained has been happening in the skies above us for a very long time.
Best Evidence, however, was just the first part of a two part series. It was meant to establish the foundation from which one could ask the most important question. As my old friend, the late Mac Tonnies, stated at the end of Best Evidence: "what does it all mean?"
Beyond Best Evidence: The UFO Enigma is a feature-length documentary that will take the cases shown in Best Evidence, as well as a couple of new ones that highlight what appear to be some of the more "high strangeness" aspects of the phenomenon, and explore with the three key possible explanations with world's leading experts on the subject, as follows:
1. Extraterrestrial Hypothesis - This explanation maintains that UFO sightings represent proof of visitation to Earth by advanced extraterrestrials from another world, most likely within what proponents term of "local galactic neighbourhood."
2. Interdimensional Hypothesis - This explanation maintains that UFO sightings involve visitations from other "realities" or "dimensions" that co-exist alongside our own. It also holds that UFOs are a modern manifestation of a phenomenon that has occurred throughout recorded human history, which in prior ages were ascribed to mythological or supernatural forces and creatures.
3. Psychosocial hypothesis - This explanation maintains that UFO Sightings can be explained by psychological or social means, examples of which include wishful thinking, hallucinations, hoaxes, and misidentification of prosaic objects, such as satellites, aircraft, or natural phenomena.
What We Need & What You Get
Beyond Best Evidence is a feature length documentary that is being made independent of the mainstream broadcast system, so that we'll have the editorial freedom to explore any and possibilities about the UFO phenomenon without having to conform to network requirements to create "reality-based TV", which never has anything to do with actual reality.
The film is being financed using a combination of funding sources - community fundraising, Redstar Film's own production and post-production resources, federal and provincial film tax credits here in Canada, and private investment. Every dollar raised will be going directly into the production of the film.
Once the film is completed, it will be submitted to film festivals around the world, and will be immediately available on DVD and through various on-line distribution outlets. Television sales will follow. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Paul Kimball directly at: paulkimball@redstarfilmtv.com.

The perks start with discounts on the purchase of the DVD, andgo from there to include all sorts of other cool stuff.
For our part, we want to make our own contribution to something worthwhile. That's why all net profit received by Redstar Films Limited from the sale of Beyond Best Evidence will be donated to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada, a charitable cause near and dear to producer / director Paul Kimball.

Praise for Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO Sightings
Canadian director / producer Paul Kimball is a man who knows ufology. 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 10 UFO Sightings.
- Greg Taylor, The Daily Grail
The ten cases you present are truly stunning. I cant imagine
anyone watching this would not be left thinking: what the hell is going on? Why
isnt anyone studying this? Youve done a truly excellent job! Though I was
familiar with most of these cases, you managed to even astonish me.
- Patrick Huyghe, The Anomalist
Here at last is a documentary produced not only by someone who knows what hes talking about but who has also delivered a fact-drive, objective piece of work featuring people who also know what theyre talking about. Simple, clear, un-sensational, to the point an outstanding 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, heres the top cases. It was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
- Dave Furlotte, Strange Days Indeed
Paul Kimball has raised the bar on what constitutes a competent film documentary about UFOs, and he has produced a work at once convincing and thoroughly authoritative, as interesting as it is compelling in every conceivable way.
- Alfred Lehmberg, UFO Magazine
Best evidence is the one to show your friends who cant understand why anyone would take the UFO subject seriously.
- Greg Bishop, Radio Misterioso
Its very concise, and its very slick, and its very well done, and it should be on the Sci-Fi Channel and on DVD. You can rest assured that it youre going to plunk your hard-earned dollars down for a documentary that Best Evidence is the one to buy.
- Jeremy Vaeni, Culture of Contact
Paul Kimball not only imbues the film with a sense of intrigue and discovery, but also provides needed hints about how the ignoring of the phenomenon by mainstream society may eventually come at a price. Viewers of the film will not be tantalized by rumour or innuendo, nor will the viewer be witness to wild accusations with no accompanying proof. Instead, only the cold, hard facts are presented along with amazing computer-animated special effects. Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO sightings is most definitely the must-see UFO documentary of the decade.
