The movie The Fourth Kind, a title which refers specifically to alien abduction (the fourth type of alien encounter), purports to be based upon real events. But is it?
All promotion for the film, including the trailer, puts forward the notion that the film is a "fact-based" thriller. The facts, as promoted by the film, seem to be:
- evidence of alien abduction were uncovered inadvertently from patients in a sleep disorder study
- the study was conducted by a psychologist by the name of Dr. Abigail Tyler
- the abductions were/are occurring in and around Nome, Alaska
- the FBI have conducted numerous but unresolved investigations of missing persons in the area
If you visit the official website, you won't find any links to any of the apparent "fact-based" evidence. Yes, there are some interesting links to some cool "conspiracy" (I hate that word) style websites, but nothing to corroborate the basis of The Fourth Kind movie.
I did a search to discover the authenticity of the title character, Dr. Abigail Tyler, and discovered an entry in the Alaska Psychiatry Journal and a twitter account: @drabigailtyler. Both relate to viral marketing for the film. The twitter account is clearly a twitter account to promote the film, and certainly not the "real" Dr. Abigail Tyler. The Alaska Psychiatry Journal was only recently registered, in Arizona (not Alaska) and via proxy, and like the twitter account, is clearly not real.
Milla Jovovich, who I love to death, is the lead in the film. In the trailer she announces to the camera: “This film is a dramatization of events that occurred Oct. 2000. Every scene in this movie is supported by archive footage. Some of what you're about to see is extremely disturbing.”
Watch the trailer now:
Unfortunately the archive footage has either never been released or doesn't exist. It is doubtful that, if it is the most compelling alien abduction footage yet recorded, that it could have remained hidden whilst a film is made based upon it and, moreso, that it would remain hidden once knowledge of the film had become public. Since this is exactly what has happened, it stands to reason that the archive footage is also fiction. Though I might add that the film may still be using archive footage from other alien abduction cases that are not mentioned in the marketing of The Fourth Kind.
So what about those missing person cases? Turns out they are actually true and yes, the FBI have been investigating. Whilst some answers have been found relating to some of the missing persons - and bodies found - the circumstances of the cases remain unsolved to this day.
I found this article on the Red Lake Net News website which, since it appears to be a legitimate news item, might corroborate the story. It states the FBI have received 24 cases to investigate dating back to 1960. Of those, all are Natives, seventeen were men, eight were never found, and the rest died under suspicious circumstances. More than half of the missing person's bodies have actually been found with the cause of death attributed to a combination of alcohol and exposure. So it's definitely a mystery, but sounding less and less like alien abduction (and more and more like foul play). In any case, it seems the locals don't seem to think it is aliens causing the problem.
So, in a nutshell, the basis for the film seems to be fiction with a touch of reality thrown in to add to our confusion. But, I think it is safe to say that The Fourth Kind is not a story about an actual event with actual documented archival footage. Instead, it is a very cool and elaborate film that appears to have woven a little fact with a lot of fiction to create a realism that delivers maximum creepiness.
Real or not, I'll be heading to the theater to see The Fourth Kind because it looks cool, and that's all I really care about.

good review. though i think the community needs to be more aware of the history that supports alien encounters.
I think that while it is hard to pinpoint the specific case studies mentioned in the movie, it doesn’t mean that it’s pure fiction.
the movie did state that it was a dramatization of events, meaning there is some hollywood dazzle.
But sightings and abductions are very real with hundreds and thousands of people reporting it, photo evidence, video evidence. and even physical material analysis of objects taken out from from bodies of abductees that had inconclusive results. (materials that were radioactive and not from this planet) How do you explain that?
if you read Communion you’ll find disturbing, shocking evidence and stories from abductees. I watched the screening of the film and got to say that i was highly impressed by the portrayal of the characters and abductees.
fact: it’s frightening and has a great storyline. definitely a must see.
Yes, have read (and seen) Communion. In fact, I’ve seen some pretty incredible alien abduction documentaries that leave little doubt that something is going on (I remember seeing one that involved two different unrelated people who remembered seeing each other, and through the investigation of their cases the two people eventually found each other, which corroborated everything they had been saying for years).Can’t remember the name of the documentary though.
I can’t say if that “something is going on” thing is alien abduction or what it is exactly. The Disclosure Project’s Dr. Greer thinks all alien abduction is fabricated by the government to create mass public hysteria. Others think abductions are via interdimensional beings and not “space aliens”. I can’t say I’ll know the truth until I’m abducted…and hopefully I can learn the truth without a dose of anal probing!
I’m sure The Fourth Kind is going to be good but I’m also certain the ill-informed will also seize upon it to add weight to their argument that alien abduction is all a conspiracy theory. I say “ill-informed” as there are many people who outright dismiss the notion but I find those are people who have never actually looked into the subject.
Any time you take a serious subject, make a fictionalized account of it, then claim that fiction is absolutely based on fact, only to have those facts found to be embellished, disputable, or not real at all, you do damage to the work of those who are attempting to remove the stigma of “conspiracy theory” from the subject.
What I would like to see is for The Fourth Kind official website to publish a complete list of the cases it has drawn from for it’s inspiration. I think that more than anything would not only add to its credibility, but would also probably increase theater ticket sales!
By the way, you mention there exists video evidence of alien abduction. I’ve never seen any video evidence, only videos of abductees stories and people talking. When you consider 95% of people believe the world was created 6000 years ago, I have a hard time believing what most people say, even if they themselves believe it utterly. Would love to see actual video evidence though.

_________________
I ditto this insight! There have been documentaries about abductees telling their stories under hypnosis and they are very BORING but fascinating nonetheless for people who want truth and not entertainment. The filmmaker ought to be interviewed. Ive been looking and nothing.. and from his previous film it appears hes definitely locked into the horror genre. I agree that source material would give credibility. Look at the film Touched (http://www.amazon.com/Touched-John-E-Mack/dp/B001BT1SH8)that works with john macks material and video tapes abductees under hypnosis and his voluminous book called ABDUCTION that almost lead to Mack’s getting kicked out of Harvard of which he was a professor of psychiatry until his death a couple years ago. The description of Touched ought to be here:
___________________
…When Harvard psychiatrist John Mack approached filmmaker Laurel Chiten (Twist & Shout, The Jew in the Lotus, Twisted) asking her to make a movie about encounters with aliens, she thought he was crazy. But after meeting some of the so-called ‘experiencers’ she was intruiged; they seemed rather normal and spoke about feelings of connection and longing for these uninvited intruders to return. She had stumbled into a world filled by people who had been touched by something … and had their lives blown apart because of it. ‘I realized I could not figure out the origin of these bizarre stories, nor could I prove or disprove the existence of aliens. Instead, I wanted to explore the human drama: who are these people, what has happened to them, and why does this distinguished Harvard professor believe them?’…
___________________________
Fortuantely truth searching and truth finding is not for the folks who clamor for horror and shock value and simple entertainment value. I saw the fourth kind film because I wanted to see HOW hollywood would present this phenomenon. I was hoping that people would become curious and pursue it and read and search out the various resources that are out there.. but what Ive been seeing on the various websites discussing this.. I see nothing of that desire whatsoever. Many of them wanted to be scared shitless and they are pissed off because they werent. Its almost as if they could care less about a phenomenon that at its foundation, its mysterious foundation, could totally undermine the reality we cherish so highly that we are the only ones in the universe. such audacity! I also did not want to see another film that praised the aliens as our savior and neither did I want to see a film that purports the alien invasion as brutally invasive. I sense that BOTH are out there but creating honest ambiguity in films these days isnt a money maker. The dualistic thinking in our culture is very prevalent. We, as humans, need to discern what is truth, what is bullshit, what do we want to believe and what do we not want to believe and pursue the abduction phenomenon as mystery with all of its fears, trepidations and needs for “salvation”… all of it…. all of it needs to be explored.. and for sources check out ALLIES FOR HUMANITY by Marshall vian Summers. He explores the notion that yes they are out there and some are trying to guide us to become more sovereign so we dont get seduced by the ones who NEED our planet for its resources and to use us as their laborers.
I personally sense they are already here… theyve been here for years, for aeons and we are already their slaves and the invasion has already occurred but we cannot see it since we prefer the veil than our own freedom…. But that would make for a more interesting film. It was called The Matrix….. and hopefully ones in the near future….
Saw the movie last night and enjoyed it for it’s entertainment value. Some parts made me jump out of my seat and the special effects were creepy indeed. I was interested in learning more so I googled it and came to this website. Although I must admit to being a little disappointed that the movie is not factual, I am not surprised in the least. It was a creative marketing campaign for a clever new movie. I do believe that the writer did some research into alien abduction and took a little bit from what he learned and created this story. I’ve always been a believer in UFOs, aliens, paranormal, etc. and would love to read more. Also really impressed with most of these comments left by intelligent people. Well done!
I watched “The Fourth Kind” just a few hours ago; and found it to be disturbing, because (and I’m sure that it was all planned out to have that effect) I didn’t know for sure if the “real” footage used in the movie was in fact genuine. I’m not the gullible type, or easily misled; but I must admit that they had me going for a bit. When you know that the “real” footage is staged, then it takes away the “shock factor” intended by the film’s makers. I have to say that the fake “real” footage was masterfully done; and was more seemingly real than the infamous “alien autopsy” footage claimed to be real by the man whose holding on to it like it was Kryptonite; and refuses to allow professionals to authenticate it. “The Fourth Kind” was a great spoof; and I’m sure it’ll rake in a lot of dough. I give the spoof two thumbs up for its originality, and effective deception.
Thank you for taking the time to comment on this movie. It is a rather subtle observation. Years ago I moved on from the subject of whether the subject is real or not, and have been involved in studying the behaviors of whom I call the UFO pilots, and their language barriers with us. [If they communicate without words as we know them, then how can that language be carried through our electronic devices, ie. telephones, tv/radio speakers) I've moved on from the subject of verifiable evidence, to investigating what is being communicated within the limitation of the language barriers. It may or may not be cross speices communication, but it is some form of careful communication. I've made conciderable progress in this subject, and wonder if there's anyone else out there who is studying how they are able to communicat, verses how we insist they communicate in order for us to acknowlege they exist. [I'll mark this page in my "favorites" and check to see if you respond appropriately. This subject must disregard so called authorities, and move forward.]
to estra…
to me a most fascinating and illuminating interpretations is “channeled” material from marshall vian summers in my reference above. perhaps that is A way for communication to come through that may be unfiltered by the human intellect. The mystery stays alive by bypassing the intellect. The intellect may not ever “understand it.”
If the other article noted above didn’t convince you, check out this article in an Alaskan paper:
http://community.adn.com/node/143292
This flick is definitely going down the Blair Witch road…
Thanks for the link Rich. That article would have saved me a lot of time researching mine! The comments are perhaps even more interesting than the article, and I can see why the people of Nome would be quite sensitive about this issue.
This might be of interest to you:
Obituary: Dr. William Tyler
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
August 3, 2000
NOME – Dr. William (Will) Tyler of Nome passed away on Wednesday, August 2, 2000. Dr. Tyler’s cause of death is currently under investigation.
Dr. Tyler made his home in Nome with his wife Dr. Abigail Tyler and their two children. Dr. Tyler and his wife moved to Nome in late 1997 to conduct studies of sleep disorders at their Nome practice, Tyler’s Health and Care. He is survived by his wife, son and daughter. A memorial service and burial have yet to be announced pending the closure of the current cause-of-death investigation.

Hi Lauren, sorry your source is a viral marketing website constructed purely to help convince us that The Fourth Kind movie is real.
The date of that article reads August 3, 2000, yet the date of creation of that article is August 24, 2009. The article you’ve reference, like every other article on that website, has been backdated with fake dates.
http://alaskanewsarchive.com is a viral website for the The Fourth Kind movie.
What bothers me is over and over these movies claim to be true stories and they aren’t. Hollywood needs to quit lying all the time!
Well, I think the movie is genius.
I mean hollywood is hollywood, it’s entertainment and controversy = entertainment.
I don’t think the movie is lying about anything because it is based on true abduction stories and sightings.
it does say DRAMATIZATION of events, meaning it’s not wholistically true. so i don’t know why every one is so excited to debunk things.
that ADN news article does JUST THE SAME as the movie, garnered alot of attention trying to disprove something.
mentioning that it’s not even filmed in NOme, how does that bring any “fakeness” to the movie??
we don’t call action scenes and special effects fake, do we?
I think it’s part of the hollywood magic, and we buy it, love it, and we will all definitely watch this movie. I know I will
I’m completely unexcited to debunk the movie. The movie might say its a dramatization, but it also says it includes REAL footage integrated into the dramatization.My desire was to experience the evidence of the real footage, not debunk it. Unfortunately, it debunked itself. Finding out its faked is disappointing, not exciting.
I screened the movie last night and was impressed with the movie as a movie… however, the director pushes the claim this is a real story.. he interviews the ‘real’ Dr. Tyler throughout the movie and shows ‘real’ footage from the studies (if there were any)… the archival footage were simply home movies that could have been shot by anyone, anywhere, anytime… there is not much to really debunk because there are no facts supporting any of these stories, people, or studies… plus the ‘real’ Abigal Tyler isn’t very convincing as a non-actress… plus she looks really messed up… but beside that, it was an entertaining movie.
Jake, I’m with you 100%. I was lucky enough to screen the movie tonight and the interview footage of the real Dr. Tyler was unconvincing, mainly because the woman looked simply ghastly!! (I mean who allows themselves to look like that ON CAMERA?) Her pasty skin color (okay, I know, it was makeup) made her look like she was near death and her long, gaunt face and hair was just horrific to look at even before she started squealing. It was pretty scary to imagine and anticipate what sounds could come out of that mouth once the movie really got rolling. The “real” footage was just a bit over the top to believe as genuine.
Even so, the movie was a lot of fun to watch and the scariest parts were designed for the ears and not so much for the eyes.
Oddly enough, your comment makes me want to see it more
While the movie was playing, The black and white footage that was stated as’ Actual footage right above or below it while it was playing of a man shooting his wife in the back of her head, Killing his kids and then killing himself’ and other parts of the movie that also stated it was actual footage,How can anyone say this if it’s not true, I mean, Did you see the mouths on these people? When they were in there sleep state and screaming’ There mouths were oblong and way larger than an actual human mouth, Not to mention the one guy hovering above his bed and his back being snaped like a twig’ Was that all a lie? or are we completely missing the truth and not seeing the forest for the trees? did the doctor herself not hurl over the couch she was sitting on when she started screaming? I was able to watch these things frame by frame, (The best way to cover up a truth is to have lies added)
I appreciate the article and the discussion–thanks! I’d done a Google search to see if I could find any facts on this story, and found your website. I’m disappointed but not surprised to see that most of it is marketing. And I agree this sort of thing, while good for generating buzz and movie revenues, does nothing to remove the conspiracy-theory label from the abduction phenomenon.
Well everything about the movie maybe fake but who’s to say that is hasn’t happen to someone people need to remember that the solar system is way bigger than just our “planets”
What does interest me is the purported “fact” that 80% of the so called alien abductions are of Native Americans. I personally don’t believe in alien abductions but if they are real I hope the heck I’m never abducted.
Since I have no evidence to disprove them, I refuse to “not believe” in alien abduction. But, that doesn’t also automatically mean that “I believe” in alien abduction. Instead, I’ve read and seen a lot of evidence to indicate something is going on, be it alien abduction or otherwise (Stephen Greer, the renowned Dr. who was responsible for the ‘Disclosure Project’, writes in one of his books that I read that alien abduction is actually a conspiracy designed to convince the masses that aliens are the enemy). Not saying Greer is right either. Just suggesting there are other possible explanations perhaps? Since I don’t have the answers, I am open to finding out the truth behind the phenomenon.
One thing I definitely believe in is the existence of Aliens. Whether they are present on Earth now or not I can only guess, but there seems to be plenty of evidence to suggest they are here (whenever I think about such evidence, the footage of flying saucers hovering around the broken antenna being deployed by the Space Shuttle always comes to mind). Even on what I consider the “low probability” that they aren’t here, there are too many planets that exists for them not to be out there somewhere, in some form.
I’m not sure about the truth of the statement that 80% of alien abductees are native american, however, a quick search of the internet shows that many researchers have found that to be the case in their research. I’d like to know if that’s a universally agreed upon fact amongst alien abduction researchers worldwide, rather than just American.
Hi Ya All!
I JUST saw a preview for the movie for the FIRST time about 2 hours ago.
**** PLEASE Do NOT read any further – if Ya have not seen this movie or if Ya don’t want to know TRUE things about where this movie is set!! ****
Believe me or not – I do live IN Nome. I have lived here a long time, since ’90s & yes, was living here during that time the movie is to be SET in.
Apperantly, I don’t leave my Igloo enough to know about these things??
We do NOT have trees here, if we do have some scattered ones, its only cause someone brought & planted them AND they would ONLY Be evergreens ( Christmas tree type ) SO, the short preview I saw was totally wrong – …. a lower 48 type tree with green leaves on it IN October HERE?? so Silly! Not to mention, NO SNOW on the ground, lol. Our winters here are from Oct till may! Also, Dang – those sure are some fancy houses on the preview! – Could someone tell me where the Owl was to have landed outside of people’s windows?
I have no clue when this movie will be OUT here. We do have A movie theater here ( now ) – That plays one or two movies at time, that changes most every week. It might take a few months for it to be here. I am SO NOT trying to prove or dis prove about the story line for this movie. I do know of a handful of people that what they call ” missing ” – I am even related to someone who is ( I am guessing ) one of the 26 people missing. I can’t say for certain what happened, that person went missing on a hunting trip OUTSIDE of town,With others. Please keep im mind, that number of people they say that are missing dates back from the 60s till NOW.
I have NO idea if these is like the Blair Witch movie.
What I DO Know is that for sure that the 26 people they call missing – ALL of their Family & Friends prob. don’t need it thrown back in their faces & having it bring up hurt feelings. That goes for here & ALL of everyone that has had lost someone they Love.
Well, thats all I have to say about that. Again, that was just part of what I feel about it all, believe me or take it with a grain of salt BUT PLEASE Everyone who read this all: Take good Care of each other & Tell the people in YOUR Life that You LOVE Them – weather they are furry or non-furry ( meaning a Pet or Person ) & If Ya able too give them a HUG & THANK Them!!
God Bless & HUGs All!
Our propensity to believe hype and misinformation in all facets is the truly alarming aspect of this story.
Orson Wells et al with War of the Worlds still did it best.
the alledged “missing persons” as any northern clime rural police investigator will inform you is par for the course when taking into account addiction issues, weather exposure and limited search & rescue manpower (c’mon city folk..what do you think happens to all those bodies out in the wild over time, nature provides her own recycling)
The hollywoodization of the story is to be expected, but to misrepresent the location, indiginous populous and create a campaign of golorified misinformation is irresponsible.
I find the storyline very reminiscint of the work of Bud Hopkins with his alledged transcripts of hypnotherapy regression “alien abduction” cases (which is a dcocumented phenomena where the veracity of reporting sources is not in question)
And as far as referance to Striebers “Communion”.
“Wolfen was a much better piece of fiction from this gentlemans imagination or delusionary beliefs.
Cool movie n marketing ploy though.
I saw the movie and went searching to see if I could find out the truth about this film. Thanks for the review although I am not sure it cleared anything up for me. Has anyone thought perhaps some of these people could be suffering from night terrors? I have had them all my life and they are very real.
If the events of this story are nothing more than a fictional ad campaign, those involved–milla jovovich, elias koteas and everyone else–should be held responsible. As one comment above relates, real people have gone missing in Nome and those who manufactured the apparent lie represented by this film are using them and their families for profit. That is disgusting. They are also demeaning the real stories of people who have had unexplainable experiences. I hope a real “Sumerian alien” abducts them all to a scary place.
Here is my story. When you read it, you’ll understand why I’m a little upset.
At the age of 5, I lived in Southwest Washington, in a remote area, with my parents and sister. Soon after moving to this location, I started having an encounter with something I called “the owl”. It would come into my bedroom and take me out of my bed (I could see it at the end of the hallway leading from my bedroom and I could distinctly feel it grab me by the ankles and pull me out of my bed). Where did I go? Like the people in “The Fourth Kind” movie, I’m not exactly sure. I can only remember being in a sort of lucid dream-state in a strange place and surrounded by people I did not know. As you can imagine, this was very disconcerting for me as a small child–that is, the feeling of being away from my parents and being in a nightmare I couldn’t get out of. Unlike the suggestion of the film, I was not “probed” or oddly examined by aliens. Whatever it was that took me out of the bedroom always seemed like an owl to me. Of course I was afraid–I remember begging my dad to give me a knife so I could fend this thing off. However, I don’t remember being terrified to the point that the movie characters were portrayed.
These encounters or whatever they were stopped very suddenly when a dark-haired woman appeared in these lucid dreams and told me she was there to protect me. I have no idea who she was supposed to be.
So when I heard of this film, I was obviously compelled. After seeing it, I was skeptical of the footage (as anyone with half a brain would be), so that’s when I started googling and discovered it was all an apparent hoax.
My story is not a hoax. I’m not sure what it was–night terrors? encounters with other entities? I have an open mind. But perpetrated hoaxes such as The Fourth Kind only mean to denigrate and take advantage. There should be some kind of legal responsibility.
@Meryl
It sounds like you had an out of body experience (even if you never saw yourself “outside” of your body) It happens to a small percentage of people. It used to happne to me from the ages of 5-7. It was very real, and I always “thought” I was awake when it happened. I never saw an owl or any people, but I floated around and it scared the crap out of me.
Maybe the “Owl” is symbolic of something? Could this woman be an guardian angel?
Also you made me think of something that happened to me when I was 17. It was christmas eve and everyone was asleep. It was around 2 or 3am, and I was unable to sleep. I used to have insomnia all the time.
I had just put out a cigarette when I noticed something moving out the corner of my eye. When I looked up from the couch I was laying on, there was a red orb bobbing in a circular motion in the living room window. Our home was a rased ranch which made our living room very high up from the ground, so it was impossible for someone to be standing there unless they had a high ladder. T
The orb then started moving slowly and erratically. I suddenly was unable to move. I don’t know why, maybe I was frozen with fear. I had this thought in my head like this thing was looking for something. The way it methodically went to and fro was simmalar to someone walking with a flashlight searching for something, except it was red and there was no visible beam behind it. I started to feel like it was a probe. At any rate I couldn’t move or wouldn’t move. It couldn’t have been a car, or even a person because it lasted for 2 hours. I know because I layed immobilized in fear of it “seeing” me. Maybe it was looking for something? Maybe I am crazy, which is what my boyfriend thought. lol. NE ways you made me think of that with your story.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The purpose of this movie it is to direct people’s attention from what is really going on. What happen to these people is real and it happens to people all around the world. But I don’t think that “aliens” are real. Well they are but not what people think they are. There is something out there deliberately plotting to deceive people. This plot has been in place for many years now and this type of deception is one of many forms that they have.
I have been conducting “light” research on UFOs and abductions for over 25 years. I was hoping the movie would shed some light on the disappearances in Nome. At first, reports pointed to a serial killer targetting Native residents, then the switch was made to consider alien abductions. Sure, there were lights in the sky and unsubstantiated reports of sightings, but I haven’t read about the heavy hitters going to Nome to investigate.
As for the movie, I didn’t enjoy it as I so wanted to. I mean, Milla Jovovich was the star. I totally enjoy her movies, but it must have been a stretch to portray this doctor with emotion. I was intrigued by the Sumerian artefacts but it was never explored. They never thought to show the videos, as bad as they were, to the Sheriff. Talk about abuse of power.
I cannot believe that in 2000, we still had such skeptics who refuse to accept the possibility of alien contact. There is so much proof at that time that this Sheriff should not remain unconvinced.
This is the beginning of reality TV being made into movies. It started with Blair Witch, then Paranormal Activity, now this. All of them giving the impression that they are “factual”. Be prepared to see more of the same as time goes by.
This is just another twist on the old Blair Witch Project idea. The subject matter itself, as a horror movie, can not really hold anyone in suspense, so the solution to that problem is to claim it is real, even if it is fabricated. Ditto the Amityville Horror. What made that movie a hit, was the narrative that it was based on a real haunting. Turns out, the story was fabricated. All subsequent owners in the last 30 years report nothing.
As far as the topic is concerned, well, the theme of being abducted from your bed goes back to antiquity. In days gone by, we blamed it on demons, or the Hag. Today, in a more secular society, we now blame it on space aliens who visit us in our sleep. We have just replaced one bad guy for a more modern, secular version.
Sleep paralysis is the basis for most of these claims of succubus attack or alien abduction, which is why most of them happen in bed. Google Sleep Paralysis. It is a fascination subject. If aliens really wanted to abduct us, they wouldn’t wait until we were sleeping. They would come to our offices. lol
Tookie,
I went to see the movie the fourth kind, this evening. Since I do believe some people have been abducted by beings from other planets, I truly enjoyed it. However, I am very disappointed to hear the film is a fake.
Since you live there, was there really a doctor by that name? if there was, did the child really disappeared?
T
I would say true. The government is never going to acknowledge Extraterrestrials because it would create panic and cause the stock market to crash. Not to mention that Morena Baccarin would need to go into hiding.
Hi Again All!
Hey Terra! – Sorry, I know Ya asked a few days ago, so I hope my answers help a little bit, atleast?? I am really NOT sure – about if there was a doctor here ( or visited here ). I am NOT sure where I had read it, but – I did read there MIGHT have been a doctor by that name here OR somewhere in Alaska at one time. But IF that was a famous or semi-famous Doc, we prob. would have heard about them being here. This is a Very small & basicly isolated town. Since I have lived here, there has been only a handful of ” famous ” people been here or through here. I prob. not a good person to ask, BUT if I do hear around town if she was, I’ll reply again. I don’t GaGa over famous people. When I was a waitress YEARS ago – I was told after the fact that I had waited on a big group of people, that one of them was one of the stars from the movie: A Fish Called Wanda. – I still don’t know which one he was, LOL. All I knew was they weren’t Nomeites & I thought they All were Very Nice People! I am pretty sure that it would have been the BUZZ around town if that Doc was here at one time. People talked & talked a bunch about when Leslie Nielsen and Steven Seagal came here.
As far as the other question Ya asked – about if there was a child that disappeared, again NOT totally sure – BUT prob. NO! Well, not from Nome – But MAYBE from somewhere near here? – Still not even sure about that one. I have lived here a long time and only know of 2 people they call missing. I even asked my Hubby ( who has lived here MOST of his life ) & he also said there was never a child missing from here that he can remember.
Again, I have no clue when or IF that movie will be in the theater here. So, I have no clue of anything about a missing child. When & if I hear of anything that I may have not known about – I’ll post again.
I sure hope that helps a bit!
If You or anyone else wants to know anything I might know about, Please ask! I’ll do my best to answer!
OK, Please Take CARE everyone!
God Bless & HUGs 2 Ya All!
I read through all the comments, and am really quite relieved to have the movie disproved. I’ll admit, the images really affected me on a deep level. I was disturbed and couldn’t sleep the night I saw it.
I am upset the movie claimed a factual ‘documentary’ style, because for people who are interested in the reality of the subject matter, it’s a wasted movie ticket. But, was it entertaining? Yes.
I choose to believe the basic theories out there; there are too many coincidences in the sightings and experiences people have reported for there NOT to be something going on. I think that’s pretty obvious. It helps to have someone close to you (like family) describe their own experiences- you can swallow it a little better if you know that person isn’t telling the story with alterior motives (unlike hollywood).
That person for me is my 72 year old grandmother, the most humble, no nonsense person I know. We live in a rural area, and she said when she was about 40 she saw a craft (typical bowler-hat appearance with lights) move horizontally through a recently-mowed cornfield. She told me the story, then quoted “You know the strangest thing of it all? I didn’t think to tell anyone about it until 2 months later. It was like, I forgot all about as soon as I saw it, and I had the hardest time remembering the whole thing”
I realize you don’t know my grandma, and everyone has a story, but it was enough evidence for me. Good luck to all of you in your personal searches for truth.
