What I find strange about all this is the fact that an incident allegedly took place, then a reenactment film was shot and distributed then another movie was shot and distributed around the MSM.

This reminds me of the elites golden rule hide the truth in amongst chaos and complexities, in this instance the hoax tapes. Does anyone know where the funding for the second film came from?

Does anyone have any more information on this apart from WIKI I can't seem to find alot on the net.

so is there a actual real!!! tape because that was not real, i love the actual film, i hope ther is a realy one out there.

Wow I really want to see the original now. Sigh

It was a good film to watch. I always felt that the idea was plausible and makes sense: secluded family, EMP takes out phone lines and transport, hostile aliens, rolling plot. It almost seems too perfect, too Hollywood.. but then again so would the perfect situation in the first place.

Is there any way to get the original? I hate reenactment videos, they piss me off so much .

Why are people still talking about trying to find the "real" video? It is a proven hoax as has been stated multiple times in this topic.

We should put this one to bed,a psyops/psychological warfare experiment
perpetrated on the US public in my honest opinion.

Really? It is more much plausible to believe both videos were made in an attempt to make money. The subsequent confusion regarding the second film served the hoax motives quite nicely.

I remember the first time that I watched these tapes. I was amazed only to be let down later on when I discovered that they were in fact, an elaborate hoax.

Well, I was reading this post for a long time and it seems to be the thing that has finally pushed me to making an account for ATS.

All I really wanted to say was that it is odd people blindly accept that this director of the fake movie actually directed the real movie. He says the place he was producing the movie through burned down? No one else finds that to be a little coincidental? Someone just happened to have a copy and decided that it would be cool to say it was real (or the more unlikely idea that they FOUND a copy and believed it to be genuine).

Clearly the second movie is fake, we all know that. I would however like to believe that the original is genuine. I ask for the credentials of the director. Movie notes, pictures of the set, maybe a name to go with a face from the original. I would say the "acting" is excellent in the original, so why change actors for the second one? According to the director the time-frame would only put the little girl out of age. Better yet, why accept the poor acting of the second one?

My point is that all this talk of the original being a fake is one the shoulders of the director of the copy that is a known fake. How, or better, why should I believe his word after he has clearly released a poorly scripted and acted movie into the general public?

I would like a definitive response on this at some point. It REALLY irks me that people can instantly accept other videos or pictures as evidence of paranormal activities, but when something comes around that seems genuine is said to be a fake by one person, we all attempt to hush it up.

The real interesting thing about this is that not a single person here can say they have a copy of the original movie in any format. Rather, I would say it seems no one on Earth can claim they have a copy (other than this director apparently).

Maybe he found the video, has taken credit for it, and then decided to remake it for profit. << This seems more logical than a director producing a movie twice, only to ruin it the second time.

In conclusion, I will be around and if someone actually finds the original and can upload it I would be thrilled.

Good day to you all.

You are very wrong and also ignorant regarding this case. For your information “ The
original movie” as you call it created and produced by Dean Alioto is in the possesion
of japanese TV Asahi network and I have a copy, how do you like that.

I provided a copy in one of the multiple threads about this case and YES it is a fake or
should I said not a hoax but just a SCIFI movie, it has been demonstrated many times
so you better think twice before making such reckless statements that make you look
like a fool. Do a real research and contact the creator, you will be dissapointed of what
he will tell you.

By the way, there are several real updates on this story that you are not aware of so
here check this one, do you recognize the girl?

I can not believe people actually thought it was real in the first place. First the aliens themselves have what looks to be clearly a plastic head with full body cat suits Then when the guys are watching the space craft with the video tape it shows the camera light on. Now if your trying to hide and see whats going on are you really gonna sit there and aim a video camera with the light on directly at what you are trying to sneak a peak at?

I remember not long before the second film that aired on UPN came out reading about a missing family in Minnesota. I was on my lunch break i remember it well the article that is. I remember neighbors described a UFO near the residence around the time they came up missing it was thanksgiving as well. I cant find it anywhere on the web it had to be around 1997 or 1998. It could have some inspiration for the film then again it probably doesn't. It could have been a hoax article for the upcoming UPN show. But even that is strange?

When i seen the recreation of the original i was creeped out for several nights for some reason usually movies never had that affect on me. Now i see it the acting really was terrible and the aliens were laughable. The original that aired had a different ending where the teenage boy in in his room talking in the camera and the alien is behind the door and floats toward the kid and he is frozen. Then you see the aliens face of pause;end. Then there is the other ending where they are all calmly playing cards in the kitchen and the aliens walk in ;end.


I will still try to find the case i read about but it has probably been solved by now.
