Encounters of a fourth kind - based on real events or not ?

I have been getting alot of emails from people about the new Encounters of a fourth kind movie. People are telling me the hypnosis scenes are disturbing because they are meant to come from real case footage and show people levitating ... but are they real?

There is some controversy as people in the Ufo community feel the movie is not based on real events as claimed and is simply marketing hype for another "blair witch project". I feel that if this is the case then people are being misled and the movie is not beneficial for Ufology.

Dr. Abigail Tyler is meant to be based on a real psychiatrist in Nome - a remote village in Alaska . She interviews numerous people who have been abducted in the area . The 'real case studies' which are video taped are meant to be the basis for the movie. Apparently however Dr. Abigail Tyler is not known in Nome and there are sparse ufo reports or abductions in Alaska in general.

(i've searched the internet - read this article - yes there is the missing cases article but that's it - there's no history of Ufo events in the area.
Would like your thoughts on this and your comments if you have seen the movie yourself.

Nome however is a real place in Alaska :
Movie review:

The movie is based on a true story that happened over in Alaska,back in the fall of 2000.It starred Milla Jovovich as Doctor Abbey Tyler who claims that she recalls her husband’s murder as an abduction and stabbing.

She did studies on other people in the same town who say they experienced strange phenomena or abductions.She used hypnosis on them.

What’s so interesting, is all this footage is captured live on tape,and they used the actual footage side by side in various scenes of the film.

The results of these studies often ended tragically and ended up getting Abby in trouble with the law,since these what appear to be, supernatural murders and physical damage to be people were hard to prove because the video tape would go all fuzzy when it happened.

However, you could catch glimpses of what appeared to be,people being possessed,in between the fuzziness. One man was levitated off his bed. Abby,herself,also got levitated off the couch.

This movie is not as bad as most reviewers would have you believe. It shows some real style and craft, but it is in no way based on real events. Nothing wrong with fiction, of course. But the problem for me was the presentation of the abductions as some sort of demonic posession by Sumerian "gods" or something. So, yet again another failure to really address the genuine phenomenon on film. Still, I did jump twice. That worked out to $5.25 per scare. I've had worse.

The movie has to do with evil extraterrestrials ....
There's no way I would go to Alaska !! The one guy who went under hypnosis levitated and never was able to walk again, because of a broken back.. I was stunned, when watching the original video clips.. The extraterrestrials used in ancient language that's been dead for over 5000 years.. They said they were god !!!!

Think "Blair witch project" . It's all BS! The only people that go missing here in Alaska are inept tourists and DRUNKS!! It is fiction disguised as fact.

not everything based on real events is prtrayed exactly as it happened...
eg. titanic.

all they need to say it's based on tru story is names, in this case the 2 patients who go to see the doctor for therapy. from there they can do what they want.
I am looking for my video references to thier cases but i hae hundreds of hours to look at to pin point it ><

We have to remember that there were 300+ FBI that went there after the events claimed by the movie. This leads me to the conclusion of the classic, " You didn't see or hear anything or we'll kill you." bit. The audience was told from the start that the names in the movie were changed. It is possible that the footage was reinacted as well. Think about it, the lady had money with her career, but couldn't buy a decent camera in the year 2000 with a nice digital picture? I am not talkin about when the picture went crazy during the filming of abduction or possesion. I would be very upset if this movie was bs!

I watched the movie and thought it was fantastic can anyone tell me if there is a book based on these events?

We went to se this film yesterday, and although I had an idea what it was about, my partner didn't-I didn't outline it beforehand.

Afterwards she said it was intriguing, I thought it was a bit disturbing.. came home, naturally googled to see if there was any background to the original story. It seems that 'Abigail Tyler' has a web site (minus home page!) but only refers to study of dreams..Plus it was only set up in August this year--viral?
Although I believe the whole lot is fiction, would this suggest that the actors who played the 'real' characters are equity members and therefore will have some acknowledgement somewhere? Unless of course, they're just people they dragged off the street to play it?
Does it put ufology into disrepute? Only if you think that Star Trek does, or Independence day does.. It is when all said and done, a film, and whatever the hype might suggest, ALL films are made for one purpose and one purpose only--to make money! Good yarn, but not to be taken too seriously.

What I find most interesting is people who are searching for Abigail Tyler and her practice in Alaska,those who saw the film,should remember that the real names of the participants in the study have been changed to protect their idenity.I' don't necessarily subscribe the notion that there are aliens out to play mind games with us,however,I don't necessarily believe that we are alone in the universe.In any case if someone is out to do research to debunk the film,they have to dig a little deeper than researching abbey Tyler,as being real or not,especially since the film notes this at the beginning.If anyone is interested in it further,there is something called the disclosure project which is allegedly credible people who have worked in government and have encounters of all seven kinds.

yeah i watched it the other day, seems real enough but the alien recording is from an earthly language, it states that its god and the camera is all over the place in the "posess" scenes,

seems real but it could be bullshit tho dr tyler looks fucked up in the real interview tbh...

Anonymous said...

aww yeah and if there are evil aliens etc, could be related to satan and all, but like the alien saying "I AM GOD", could just be posessed by the devil and shit

The only thing true about this movie is the name of the town and extremely likely fact that Earth is not the only planet with life on it. All that "footage" is worth about a roll of toilet paper.

Amanda said...

Meh, I'm divided on it. Sure, there may not be any ufo cases in Alaska, but c'mon, how many people are actually going to report it/believe it or even remember it, as was the case in the movie, where the victims didn't remember aliens at all until they were hypnotized?

Then again, it baffles me how video/pictures on paranormal activities are NEVER clear footages. Why is that? We can send a man to the freakin moon but can't make a camera that can withstand any kind of interference at all.

But the voice of the alien... I'm not familiar with voice changers, can one of these devices create a voice like that?

I get a kick out of my boyfriend's brother, he's convinced the movie is real because he says the voice speaks in ancient babylonian, even more ancient than what we can interpret today. I look at him and ask him 'how do you know??? It could be worthless babble for all you know.'

Just keeping an open mind and examining all the possibilities.

The supposed 'Real' Dr. Abigail Tyler is an actress by the name of Charlotte Milchard (see: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2598903/)

Anonymous said...

it looks real...people can simply claim that im simply that gullible,but everything seems so real. no actor, even the best in the business,could not show that much of real emotion...
in response to the statement above however, from the article, stating, "Apparently however Dr. Abigail Tyler is not known in Nome and there are sparse ufo reports or abductions in Alaska in general..." i have something to critique.Of course there is no known Abigail Tyler in the Nome area, every single character in the movie's name was changed to protect the identity of the real person. It says so in the beginning. Guess somebody wasn't paying much attention. And about encounters of both the third and fourth kind happening in Alaska, of course nobody is going to say anything...government officials can easily buy people.

It's all BS! Just watch the deleted scene of the "actual footage where Abigail arrives that rainy night in front of one of her patient's house who's about to shoot his wife and his family, the scene with all the police cars in front", in the begining of that deleted actual footage you can hear in the background, "three...two...one...Action!". Don't tell me those were the cops,or Abigail liked to say action everytime she filmed something. Or maybe they got the scene from cops!!!lol

the movie was good but im not tattaly convinced, the woman doctor seems unstable and who knows if it was aliens or her, the mystery is still unsolved.

From Eric Von Deniken's Chariots of Gods to what you imagine i have read since i was small. Not only in UFOs but, also in strange things such as future telling i believe in. 2001 A Space Odyssey kept me waiting till 911 happened and, the terrorists' imagination of going to heaven wasn't far from Arthur C. Clarke's astronaut. But all these years, unlike this author, I presumed that the reason the aliens don't show themselves to us is since well, we're still at wars and crazy human actions so, damn, we're not welcome to the stars; forget about sharing technology. This movie kind of shook me since they could be much more evil; but then, we could be so primitive to their eyes that, they treat us like Lab Rats. Dig it?

I,m in high school and we learned that although the Sumerian civilization created one of the first language(Cuneiform)this language was not phonetic like ours but did not have sounds for different letters but rather ideas. I am not sure whether it could be spoken and if so even translated.

Something to think about. How then did they get their mouths to open so far you can't and that was on the real footage watch the movie again and in the scenes where the alien takes over both him and her pay close attention to the way their mouths were deformed

Deon said...

The movie is good entertainment, but that's where it ends. Do you really think intelligent life forms would spend centuries (or even millennia) - the time it would take them to travel from their galaxies to earth - to come and play cat-and-mouse abduction games with humans? Common!

The only thing I haven't figured out yet (and I guess we'll never know) is who or what the giants/gods were that Genesis talks about.

I also see the movie at 330am, and I have seen UFO several times, but I trust the Extraterrestrials out there are with good intentions, I have some feeling that the police and some type of demonic practices have something to do with these case, perhaps the little Child was kidnap to keep her mother quiet about what was going on in reality with some one with power or policeman whom my be a serial killer and or a group with in those that uses demonic practices, and jet they mix the UFOs stories with dramatic cases of despairing, FBI should consider looking the case in a simple matter,,, in front of their eyes are the answers of a manipulated town by some twisted leader or leaders of these community… doing bad and calling itself God is not from out of space is for real and is going on in some parts of our world by psychopath.

Can I please say something here, I am very interested in the blood line relation. ONLY 15% of us have a negative bloodline with no monkey gene, the other 85% if you are positive as for me o positive do have a monkey gene. There is a interesting fact here that no one knows where the negative bloodline came from and in fact it is considered that years ago they were biologically altered to share the likeness of the Sumerian Gods. Sumerian's were the first civilization to advance with the help of pictured giant Gods they called them that loved us dearly and wanted to help us, they looked like us but larger and were much more advanced and taught us how to live in harmony. There inscriptions on stones show our solar system with 10 planets, how could they know in this 4500 B.C? We just found out we had a 10th planet in our solar system! The Sumerians told us in their inscriptions that their gods were from this small little planet we have just found. It is interesting enough that there is more documented visits than ever more recently. The Gods altered the human genetics thus adding the negative blood line. This would make some consideration to testing done on humans, they are checking their handy work.



The Sumerians taught that these Gods were peaceful and powerful, they taught civilization to us taking us out of old nomadic times . There is also a fault with negative blood line mating with a positive bloodline, the body mostly rejects and aborts and can not mate. http://www.cod.edu/people/faculty/fancher/RhFactor.htm The Sumerian God's new creation was made out of their likeness detectable with the negative blood line, with smarter & stronger humans which are more unable to get certain diseases including Aids! In fact this blood line is considered Royalty, and Royal blood will not mix with any other, it is against their whole custom. Most of these powerful people are in office or running major events in the world. Also remember only 15% of the whole world is Negative,



Now you can consider us living among Aliens and they don't even know it or like me I believe it is related to my religion and God's and the chosen people from different tribes it states in the Bible with the seal on their forehead. It has come to mind that Angels stand about 3x are size, this is the same as the Sumerian implicit in their pictures of their Gods. There are 3 forms of angels, God Appearing as an Angel, Angels as God’s Messengers to People, and Angels Who Remain in God’s Presence. I consider Sumerian Gods maybe angels or heaven messengers as they also spoke of their own God in the inscriptions. Another interesting point - Jesus was Ab negative found in the Shroud, he also descended in flesh to the heavens. I believe he was sent to save us from our evil barbaric ways we started to become once again and to bring all mankind to know God. We may have been made of the dust as the bible states..... and interesting enough a majority of us are this way, but for the few that are genetically enhanced and naturally insusceptible to disease, they are unique. Things that make you go hmmmm

it was interesting what words that were recorded and the way the people reacted when in the presence of the so called alien. the language was of some ancient race not used for centuries. the words i am, the light and the truth are something god says in the bible. then it says it is god but there is a real sense of evil. maybe aliens are the devil in disguise.

The Giants/Gods talked about in Genesis are called The Nephelim. they are the sons of fallin angels that materialized and had sex with earthly women. Their children were the Nephelim and died in the flood. Theu were actually the last straw which brought the flood on. This would ve the flood of Noahs day. God took the ability to materialize away after that.
