Synopsis: Gray Barker stood at the heart of
America's UFO phenomenon almost from its inception. His investigations
led to the publication of his best-selling book, "They Knew
Too Much About Flying Saucers." He probed the mysteries
of the Braxton County Monster, The Men-in-Black, Mothman, and
the Philadelphia Experiment which in turn invited unwelcome visits
from the government in an effort to silence him. But to truly
understand Gray Barker and the dangerous world of paranoia and
conspiracies he inhabited, you must accept one absolute truth:
Gray Barker was full of it. SHADES OF GRAY peels the layers off
one of the great American hoaxsters of the late twentieth-century.
Part Fox Mulder, part Mark Twain, Barker almost single-handedly
created or perpetuated much of what is now taken as the "gospel"
of UFO's. In some ways, his entire life was as much a myth as
anything he ever wrote. This documentary strives to present a
complete picture of a complicated, and ultimately influential,
modern American myth-maker.
