Bo Moreau

Bo Moreau has made a splash in the world of both documentarians and conspiracy theorists alike. Reportedly trying to “get back to where [they] belong,” Mx Moreau has devoted their life in the past decade to documenting and studying all UFO sightings and reports they can gain access to. While this in itself isn’t very notable, the success of the 6 documentaries and television show they’ve made while in this pursuit is definitely worth paying attention to.

At 9 years old, Bo reportedly broke into the Toulouse Space Center in Paris to try to locate the files on the abductions and/or sightings in the country that had been reported just that year. In later interviews, Bo reflected on the event with nostalgia: “As a lost-looking kid with a determined face, I just kept telling them I was trying to find my mom, and I knew she worked there. I got a lot of info from the internet, so it was easy to tell them what office she worked in and get some help getting in. [Laughter] Nobody expects a nine year old to break into CNES!”

As a minor, they were not prosecuted for this crime, but it was far from the last time Bo was faced with breaking and entry charges. In their peerless quest for knowledge, Bo has broken into approximately 30 private properties, only 5 of which have been government owned. While the particulars have not been released to the public, it’s been speculated that the reason Bo has not been treated to any disciplinary action is because they have high up connections with the governments of most nations.

Such speculation is dismissed by Bo and the camera crew they have accrued over the years, but Bo is determined to let one thing be known about them: They’re not from “here.” They insist that this work is close to their heart because they’re trying to contact their “real” family, which allegedly resides someplace beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Their skills in weaseling into private properties and evading arrest and prosecution lead many people to think about believing them.

Their first “documentary” was clumsy and childish, with a lot of weak camera shots pointing to the sky as they spoke animatedly in French about how this was where they belonged, but by their third documentary, they seemed to have come across like-minded people with the skills and money to follow Bo’s vision. The films stopped focusing on Bo, and started focusing on others like them. Anyone who had an experience worth documenting got an interview from a somber faced teenager in a bright green jacket. Anyone with any scientific interest in extra-terrestrials or their crafts was consulted for opinions.

Bo would do anything to get an interview, including break in or lie. They’d insist this was for a school project, they’d tell people that this was a gift for their mother, they’d say anything to get in and get a conversation started.

As the years passed and Bo traveled to more and more countries and did documentaries in each of them, the focus of the films shifted from proving that aliens were real and out there to simply studying and offering information on UFOs, sightings, and abductions. It was no longer a frantic means of providing validity to Bo’s claims of otherness, it was now a thoughtful and respectful catalogue of truths (as far as they and their fans are concerned). Due to the popularity and success of the documentaries, Bo was eventually offered a deal to do an international TV show on the Travel Channel, trying to boost tourism in certain areas.

Bo has spent the last 3 years in and out of Japan as a result, studying UFOs on their show and in their private life, gaining fans and enemies alike as they publish their research.
