Criticism
According to reviewer Jason Colavito, the information presented in the show "added up to nothing", there was "no overriding thesis or purpose", and Tsoukalos admits "he doesn’t buy into what his interviewees said". Colavito wrote that "In Search of Aliens is an ersatz America Unearthed that lacks even the dubious expertise of Scott F. Wolter, who, for all his faults, produces more interesting television by having the courage of his convictions and coming to lunatic conclusions from a consistent (if skewed) reading of “evidence” he investigates".
Colavito named ancient astronauts as "one of the more elaborate theories in pseudo-history with a racist component”. According to Alexander Zaitchik writing for the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog, shows that promote fringe history like In Search of Aliens are embraced by the far right because they help in "raising the profile of racist pseudo-scholarship", such as German writer Jan Udo Holey, whose antisemitic books have been banned across Europe.
