Original Title: The moment is ripe for a UAP/UFO movie to come to the big screen that includes the subtext: Based on a True Story. Can you imagine if Spielberg and Williams teamed up again to produce a blockbuster movie that chronicled UAP events in history and told the story of current efforts for disclosure?
Imagine if filmmaker Steven Spielberg came out with the a definitive movie about the UAP topic, crafted to be both a historical reflection on UAP events in the last 80 years as well as a political thriller of current efforts inside the US Government to expose the reality of UAP. Teaming up with the legendary musical prowess of John Williams or Hans Zimmer to write the score. Imagine this juggernaut of a movie telling the story of the current political effort to further UAP disclosure, complimented with dramatizations of credible UAP events in history. Finally, a movie about “aliens” that wouldn’t be a bunch of cooked up fiction. Instead, we’d have a thriller of a movie giving some backstory to the Phenomenon while also telling the story of a quest inside the intelligence community and Pentagon to reveal the reality of UAP to the world.
The movie could open with teasers scenes, showing brief dramatizations of some of the lesser known yet supremely haunting UAP events, occurring around the globe – hinting that this is a worldwide phenomenon. (I think the movie Independence Day did a great job of showing this
JAL Flight over Alaska – 1986
(Mix of Japanese & English dialogue)
3-4 minutes of intensity in an aircraft flight deck showing confusion, bewilderment, and fear amongst the crew as they try in vain, while frantically communicating with Anchorage Center ATC, to identify and rid themselves of an unknown object shadowing them through the dark Alaskan night.
Belgium - November 1989
(All dialogue in French or German)
8-10 minutes showing various scenes acting out the recorded sightings that took place by civilians, police officers, and military individuals. After sunset, Two policemen in a car on a quiet roadside, get a scratchy call from dispatch to investigate a report of a sighting. Under a darkening sky, a man and woman stand on the banks of Lake Gileppe reservoir gazing outward as a UFO hovers over the water sending down red beams of light. A scene showing Belgian Air Force F16s scrambling to attempt and intercept the lights would be cool too.
Divers at Lake Baikal, USSR – 1982
We all know what happened here. Would make for some great teaser material.
Stephensville, TX – 2008
Just like Belgium, but with Texas now!
These opening scenes would be terrific in getting the audiences’ curiosity going.
Then, snap to the early 2010s and a feature length dramatization of the quest by AATIP, featuring Lue Elizondo, to dig into the UAP topic as a conflicted government employee, tormented by the bureaucracy of the chain of command and the religious fanatics inside the pentagon who stonewall him time and again.
Throughout the movie as people come forward to talk with AATIP about their UAP encounters, a scene change would happen, allowing for a 2-4 minute snap-back showing that UAP event. For example: Robert Salas arrives in DC to give testimony and after getting seated inside the SCIF with Lue and his team and starts talking with the investigators the scene gives way into a 3-4 minute dramatization of the UAPs over Malmstrom.
This “snap back” feature of the movie could play out a few more times throughout the film as Lue pours over historical documents in his investigations, as more people come to AATIP to give testimony, and as UAP events are discussed by the characters. These "snap-backs" in the film would segway into fantastic dramatization of other UAP events that haven’t been given proper re-dramatizations by past TV shows or documentaries.
Some examples of what I think would be very watchable “snap backs”:
1. The Navy Helicopter that while recovering airborne equipment after splashing down in the Atlantic happened to find itself hovering over a USO off the coast of Puerto Rico
2. The December 1977 incident of molten metal falling from a light in the sky in over Council Bluffs, IA
3. November 2006 – UFO hovers over Chicago O’Hare.
Themes this movie could present would be the apparent interest UAP have with Nuclear Technology and Water. Perhaps some dialogue between scientist/intelligence characters discussing interdimensional aspect of the phenomenon? But, I’d leave out woo stuff like Skinwalker Ranch, Abductions, implants, etc. This movie still has to have an appeal for masses, not just the folks on this sub.
I’d also leave scenes showing the Nimitz, Rendlesham, Ariel School, Varginha, Phoenix Lights, Roswell events because we don’t need to hear about or see re-enactments of those events for the 1000th time.
Oh, and I would absolutely make sure some of the people actually working to disclosure efforts get cameos in the film! Elizondo could be a crazy homeless guy on a street corner in DC holding an “ALIENS ARE REAL” sign, George Knapp, wearing a cowboy hat, is an extra on a ranch in the Stephensville scene. Mick West as another face in a crowded cafeteria line at the Pentagon employee chow hall. Other invitees to cameo: Col. Nell, Garry Nolan and Jacque Valle! Valle could be great for speaking part in the Belgium scene.
I don’t know how the movie would end. Definitely not with some bait & switch “Write your Senator & Congressional Representative!” fade to black text. I don’t know. Maybe you have an idea for how to close out this film?
A movie like this would without a doubt in my mind become a “must see” in the same way E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind were during their day. Other previous “alien” movies like Arrival, Super-8, Contact, or Independence Day that did well at the box office and penetrated the mainstream psyche deeply, presenting the idea of UAP in a whimsical and thrilling way were terrific to watch but let’s be honest, those films were always regarded as entertainment because we knew they were stories of fiction. But here we’d have a UFO film coming to theaters that could come with the intriguing subtext “based on a true story.” Imagine what a film like this would do to super charge the public’s curiosity and appetite for the phenomenon. Probably some fear too!
I would watch the shit out of this movie.
Maybe the movie could would out in… 2027! ;-) haha
