James Fox's The Phenomenon speaks, albeit in a very slight voice, that humans are not the only ones in the universe among the stars. Its lens attempts to reveal the mysteries of the air and the shadows of the government to the world. A NASA conspiracy thriller, built in the dark with the light of intrigue, had captured the audience not only with its speculations but also with its observations. Now in 2025, the documentary enters the streaming space, inviting curious minds to hear, inquire, and think deeper.

Boasting the same relevance since its release, The Phenomenon is a call for all to look at the sky and ask questions. But first, make sure to watch it on the screens.

The Phenomenon that makes viewers ponder the existence of extraterrestrials is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, which offers a 30-day free trial, followed by a subscription priced at $11.98 per month. It may also be rented or purchased through Amazon Video (digital buy option), Fandango At Home, or Apple TV. Meanwhile, UFO-enthusiasts who want to watch the documentary for free can stream it on Tubi in the US, and with ads on Filmzie.

The Phenomenon, first released on October 6, 2020, is also available to stream at home through Gaia as part of their documentary catalog, as well as Plex, Kanopy, Darkroom, and JustWatchTV, for free. Initially, it was promoted as one of Fox's most ambitious documentaries on UFOs and unexplained phenomena. With several streaming services actively adding the documentary to their catalogs, its resurgence has extended beyond the niche, attracting a wider audience.

For those who have not stumbled upon this space gem yet, a mind-bending masterpiece about the long-standing global cover-up awaits at home. 

The Phenomenon, helmed by James Fox, co-written with Marc Barasch, and narrated by Peter Coyote, uses archival footage, declassified government files, and interviews with top government officials such as former US Senate majority leader Harry Reid, Clinton White House chief of staff John Podesta, former deputy undersecretary for Defense Intelligence Christopher Mellon, former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and journalist Leslie Kean. 

The documentary chronicles decades of UFO sighting reports and purported government cover-ups from the post-World War II era to the Pentagon UFO video revelations that took pop culture by storm, eschewing sensationalism that even Katy Perry's space trip could not. The movie seeks to make the implausible plausible, inviting the audience to a real-life journey to space and time, and asking themselves: How much has been concealed? Which tales are left unaccounted for? And how future revelations redefine reality for Earth.
