      That shit is based on real life. Sasqautch experiences are the same. The aliens and UFOs are fallen angels, Sasqautch are nephilim, their offspring, they look like humans in the face with hair giant bodies, they look nothing like apes like t.v shows and movies would have you think.

      The visual effects were all shot on 65mm!! The visual effects were shot higher resolution than the live action material. Once they were completed they made a one step reduction print to marry it to the 35mm live action so at any time the visual effects are always at a higher resolution than any live action material. The quality is always top notch. When you hire Doug Trumbull you're getting the best.

    The late actor Roberts Blossom played the older guy by the road side, slowly whistling ("She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain when She Comes") and later talking about Bigfoot.
    He later also played the elderly neighbor (with the snow shovel) in the original "Home Alone". Always loved that scene with him and Macaulay Culkin, in the church, on Xmas Eve.

    I remember years ago the space shuttle un-docking from the international space station. The news reported, down to the minute, when we would see it overhead in Wisconsin. I got my two boys out there in this field by our place to see this. We waited; we watched. Then, my youngest said, "there it is!" Both space craft came directly inline with us over the sky. TWO bright dots, close together, sailing over us like something from a space movie. It was a great memory.

    I want to go back and live it all over again. The 70’s and 80’s were the best years of my life. We had the best music that had meaning and the best TV shows and specials back then and lived in the last of the best decades in America..it was the party of a life time and we lived it well. We had great shows like, Falcon Crest, Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty,The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, ALF, The Six Million dollar man, The Dukes of Hazard, BJ and the Bear, Air Wolf, Battle Star Galactica! Knight Rider and for the first time ever the motion pictures of, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman, Spider Man, Close Encounters of the third kind, E.T., Poltergeist, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Aliens, (No not the ones being aloud to just walk into our country right now in 2024), Predator and many more… We also celebrated the bicentennial in the 70’s when the entire country celebrated it from Apr 1, 1975 - Jul 4, 1976. It was like the 4th of July every day. It was fantastic!.…it was such a better time to be alive in this county. We never had the problems that are here today. It was unheard of for kids being shot and men walking around dressed as women. It was the best years of my life, It was the last of America and we were lucky to have experienced it.

      The truth can be established by special methods of Open-source intelligence (TEXT MINING). Consider the use of "flying saucers" (UFOs) as a means of delivering atomic weapons. This is very important and relevant, due to the fact that air defense is sharpened against ballistic missiles and aircraft, and UFOs calmly overcome them. The risk threshold has decreased - an atomic war may begin.
      It was the phenomenon of such devices in the late 80s that frightened the leadership of the USSR. All these "UFOs over Krasnoyarsk", "UFOs over Perm" + the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant... Therefore, the leaders of Communist Party went to an honorable surrender...
      However, for 30 years, the Russian Federation has been able to bring its electrokinetic flying machines to mind, and now there is panic in the United States - unknown objects are flying over the territory of both NATO and the United States. They have something to be afraid of: such combat UFOs will successfully deliver nuclear bombs to decision-making centers and enemy missile silos, bypassing air defense.
      Americans were very scared of russian "flying triangles" and other unidentified phenomena, so the May meeting of the US Congress on UFOs was started in open mode, and then had to be classified. Now the situation is extremely tense, because "flying saucers", "triangles", etc. are very dangerous weapons. So, the threshold for starting an atomic war has dropped sharply, there is a real temptation to strike the first blow without fear of a response...

    One of the best things about Close Encounters is it portrayed aliens as peaceful, and our response as friendly and cooperative (the ending mountain scene). They weren't seen as bloodthirsty monsters with us automatically using military force. If they really have been visiting us over the centuries, and their intentions were evil and controlling, we would have seen the devastating results by now. I, for one, hope to still be alive when the formal revealing comes out.

    I bet, if I asked my father about it, he would remember not only the film, but this chase scene, too. And, invariably, he'd make some remark about the little red UFO and how it set the toll booth alarm bell off.
    Dad is not an SF fan, you see, but when I was a child, our family sat down to watch this film which was being shown on TV, one weekend afternoon. A nice way to fill an otherwise empty afternoon, but such was the power of this film that it kept our family mesmerised, and left some indelible images in our minds, just as the aliens left images if the Devil's Tower in the minds of those they encountered. In fact, it was my first encounter with said landmark and I was delighted to learn later that it was real.
    In this day and age of CGI, we are bombarded with breath-taking films, but very few of them have the kind of impact as this one did. The 'Avatar' franchise and the 'Jurassic Park/World' may do, but they've had time to build on their respective universes. 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' might seem dated and rather sparse to modern movie-goers, but without it and its contemporaries, we might not have the rich film world we do today.

    Yeah, the UFO police chase in Ohio was based on real events.
    A couple years ago, my brother and I were talking to a former neighbor on Skype who lived in Stow, Ohio. She said that her son and another neighbor kid were in the back yard and witnessed a UFO hovering behind Fishcreek Elementary School in the summer of 1974. Both kids became frightened when the UFO shot two beams of light down into the ground.
    We called her son and he confirmed the UFO story. He said the UFO was a bright silver disk and made absolutely no noise.
    I became convinced that there must be a record of this UFO and, sure enough, somebody near Kent, Ohio had spotted a silver disk UFO that made no noise in August 1974. Fishcreek Elementary is not far from Kent.

Its moving manner was exactly like that. While it was moving above fast and far afield, it suddenly turned and came directly towards us, then stopped just in front of us. We were scared and tried to run away but fell. It was just floating at the moment and a second later , it flied away and disappeared in the sky. Seeing it in a 1977 movie was surprising as much as our real life experience.

    Dr. J. Allen Hynek the famous UFO Air Force Researcher actually consulted for this movie, and he has a cameo at the end during the big ship scene!

    I like that Spielberg put a lot of meaningful Easter eggs in his movies.
    For example:
    The sign is swinging back and forth and then everything stops. Subconsciously we read the bottom half of the sign and it says, "Cross Roads"
    And this is where the character is at; he is at a cross road.
    Everything that he previously thought was normal and true has been turned on its head. Now he has to make sense of information that he's never seen before in the natural world.

    I remember reading the report that when there was a private screening of this movie in the White House, Ron Reagan remarked that there were 'only three or four people in this room that know that this is all real.'
