Like the UFO episode, im still not interested and pretty not convince about this kind of episode: the shots, the camera didnt really prove anything but give some interpretations of it and nothing can take it seriously because its only theories about what look like a Big Foot and the two detectives are just throwin their believes and what they supposed and nothing its really concrete. We just have witnesses and some stories about the bigfoot appearences and nothing more. It look pretty superficial and really didnt get into it even if the subject could be interesting its pretty hard to believe in my opinion and that make me pretty starve of info and to know more about the supposed existence of Bigfoot.

Accounts from people who have seen bright lights in the sky, and more specifically to have seen Bigfoot, The Navajos would deem Bigfoot as a Skinwalker, a creature with the ability to switch its appearance, a figure that means harm.
This third series has been up and down, this one sadly was a real down.
Ok, so I just about got through episode Something in The Sky, it was a stretch, but was at least a semi cohesive viewing, this however, was it just me, or was this an absolute shocker?
I found it really hard to make any sense of, we were being asked to believe that Bigfoot would simply walk about to a house, and shake the door handle trying to open it???? Is it just me.....
Cultural sensitivities, I don't think those ancient, deeply held beliefs were treated very well. I of course respect those views, but in this context, I couldn't put the pieces together.
3/10.

Just bad

Don't watch it - you miss nothing by skipping it.
I find it truly and honestly disturbing and possibly damaging to have people with a certain authority to present this as a form of fact. They dead serious say the only explanation is a parallel universe.
I don't mind people believing whatever they want to, their choice, but I mind when something like this is presented as a fact and as the only explanation. That is just wrong.
On top of that the whole layout of the episode is just not interesting. They touch down on many different paranormal issues - and I'm sorry to say: but the common denominator is people. All of this happens in the same area, because the people and the culture choose to believe all of these things.
Anyways. The show as a whole is ok, not great, and this episode is the ultimate low. Including the horrible horrible drawings.

Love hearing stories other than true crime

Good to break away from true crime stories for a change. Gives our brains a chance to open up and explore possibilities. Great job Unsolved Mysteries. I hope we set more of these when you return to the
next season. Don't get me wrong, I love true crime but it gets old. Need to take a break from it. Mom always said, moderation, right? Unlike all the other shows where they recreate value scenes, you present your recreations while allowing the audience to decide how they envision the reality of what happened. What a refreshing chance of pace. Love to see another ghost story episode for sure. That would be great!
Absolute Lies

I think in the 20 years I've had an IMDB account I have written MAYBE 3 reviews of an individual episode. This episode stats off with a Bigfoot sighting. Okay, fine. There's no actual evidence of Bigfoot existing, but whatever, they saw SOMETHING. The Navajo rangers take over telling their story. With each passing second, more tales start flying around. Each one is less believable than the last. They made up stories to account for their time when they were "investigating" this nonsense. Now, Unsolved Mysteries has given them a platform to spread their lies. The last of their crazy stories involves an unknown entity throwing money at them. Actual coins, which according to them, were manifested out of nowhere and dropped on them. Are they coins from a foreign land? Nope. Just regular U. S. currency. Nothing special about it. If it were me, and this was actually true, why be upset about it? Free money! I hope Unsolved Mysteries continues on but without these tall tales included. Terrible episode. I really wish I could have given it a zero.
Worst of the worst.

Overall this revival has been pretty good. Not nearly as good as the original series, but it does at times envoke that same mystery and eerie feeling the original series was known for. Even in the episodes about the supernatural or paranormal this show usually offers some intriguing scientific basis that allows the viewer to question everything presented in a natural way while still questioning the rational explanation. It plays the fine line perfectly at times. Which is what makes this episode so tragic.
This episode goes so far beyond plausible it is ridiculous. You could tell this episode was weak on facts and intriguing lore when it is mainly an interview with one person who just seems to be telling stories of lore and saying they saw it. It's corroborated by a ranger who just so happens to not see what she saw but something similar, but not. It was a dog and his dad told him it was a skin walker so it must be that! Back to the women who tells the same story she told before. Must be a skin walker. This is absurd. The entire episode is dull, uninspired and worst of all, not the least bit convincing. This is a skip episode for sure. Fake and dull.

I'm giving this a 1/10 just because of the blatant lies these Rangers were telling. They all sat down together to come up with the craziest stories to keep their jobs "investigating" all this nonsense, basically doing nothing at all.
That being said its a hilarious watch if you take it for what it is.
I don't want to spoil anything, since finding the inconsistencies is half the fun. The craziness, insanity and ignorance shown in these theories is mindboggling. No regard for physics or common sense. My favorite part is when they talk about the "Poltergeist" in the office building. They go investigate it and one man says his friend got hit in the back by a forcefully thrown coin coming from the direction they were all facing.
Truly great television.

"give me tree fiddy".
Hey, I am pretty open minded. I liked Erich Von Daniken since I was a kid, still listen to old Art Bell Coast to Coast episodes, I do enjoy paranormal stories, UFO's, vortex, I like Graham Hancock theories..and all the rest.
I find some of the theories, or stories just fun, some interesting.
This episode was neither. It wasn't entertaining and it wasn't interesting. Just some least believable people they could find, talking totally unconvincingly about a Bigfoot, skinwalker, orbs.
Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that all those things actually exist and that these people have experienced/seen these things. Nobody sane would ever believe them. "Yeah, so this Bigfoot was standing on my porch, trying the door handle, I opened the door (..as you would..) and he ran away. Then he came back and tried the door handle again and we went like this back and forth until the morning", sure hon.
I am actually surprised that they've wasted time and resources to even film this episode. I don't know if these people have mental issues, are just trying to lie and this is the best they could do, or are just so unconvincing, that they come off as liars with mental health issues.

Garbage
psimonchess23 January 2023
A Waste of time. The worst chapter of the series, incoherent and purposeless. If you put together a group of people who believe in big feet and other myths, it is obvious that everything they talk about does not have greater validity. They do not show any kind of evidence, only beliefs based on popular and indigenous peoples' myths. If you want to talk about these phenomena, the minimum is to contrast it with people with a higher level of education. Boring chapter that doesn't bring anything new and I don't think it's what you expect when you watch this type of program. What is the unsolved mystery? Neither.
Why are the Unsolved Mysteries paranormal episodes all like this?
rmmil30 October 2022
The writing and direction for this modern take on Unsolved Mysteries is just confusing to me.
First the ghost episode from previous episodes revolved around "tsunami ghosts", a phenomenon that would be completely alien to 99.9% of humanity, and now this one revolves around Navajo ghost rangers. Come on. If this series is failing from a ratings perspective it's because it keeps telling stories that no regular people can relate to.
The original series told stories of haunted houses, regular people from the Midwest being terrorized, and some of those stories were really truly creepy.
There is absolutely nothing creepy about hearing the story of a "UFO Bigfoot" on a Native American reservation. It's just not plausible or anything relatable so it's like hearing the plot of a Marvel film.
This version of Unsolved Mysteries is sorely underwhelming.

Accounts from people who believe to have seen Bigfoot, or what The Navajos would deem a Skinwalker.
What the bloody hell, this show has real murders and disappearances, but these kind of episodes if anything put those somewhat into question. They didn't happen to go with just one outlandish story either, we were given the whole caboodle of them. A woman opens her door to Bigfoot with little kids there, sounds rational, okay cool. Her set up video footage shows less than zero, thanks for that. Half the episode is these two guys standing there looking at nothing. Thanks for wasting everyone's time.
