[1] Burgess' film on Area 51, Dreamland was voted best documentary by UFO Magazine in 1998,[citation needed] and top of the 'viewers choice poll' of TLC Channel in 2003.
Burgess directed the documentary Dreamland (a Transmedia and Dandelion Production for Sky Television, 1996) an alleged exposé of the secret Pentagon facility known as Area 51, that was described as an example of uncritical reporting: "...infuriating nonsense to mark the 50th anniversary of the crash at Roswell, New Mexico.
The usual suspects are rounded up to tow their party lines (Stanton Friedman, Bob Lazar, et al.) and producer/director/would be intrepid presenter Bruce Burgess does absolutely nothing to question what he's being told or even point out the idiocy of some of the arguments.
