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)

@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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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?

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

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.

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!
