My dad told me you can't see it directly. So is there a way to see it? I mean can you build something?

I think you're dad is confusing a solar eclipse with a lunar eclipse.
A solar eclipse, where the sun is being blocked by the moon, is dangerous to watch direct without eye protection because staring at something as bright as the sun for a long time can damage your eyes and even cause blindness.
A lunar eclipse is where the earth's shadow is covering the moon. You see the full moon get darker. It is perfectly safe to watch without eye protection.

I video tapped a lunar eclipse once. it was real neat to play it back at a faster speed & then play in reverse. Even caught a plane going over with light flashing & said It looks like a UFO is comming. He is mixed up with the sun, that you need special viewing devices.

Did he mean that it isn't visible from where you are in the world so you'd need to watch on a web link, or on TV?
