After the show, I did a little digging out of curiosity. Something I just found out, though was useless to me. Because I wouldn't think at any given day and time of my life, I would be that lucky to have any encounter "of the kinds".
In the book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry(1972) by an astronomer and UFO researcher, J. Allen Hynek, he introduced the first three kinds of close encounters(CE) with the non-human intelligence:
CE1: Strange objects seen nearby but without physical interaction with the environment.
CE2: A CE1 case that leaves physical evidence, e.g.soil depressions,vegetation damage,or causes electromagnetic interference.
CE3: CE1 or CE2 cases where occupants or entities are seen.
And the fourth kind, which is the worst case scenario is being abducted by aliens.That which is what is depicted in the film.
Based on actual event. (so it says)
Oh. Well. It really debatable. Nobody have ever known. We all being kept in the dark by government agencies.
I wonder if all the recordings in the flick were authentic...and Dr. Abigail Tyler even existed...
Nothing sold me.
Now. I know better where the phrases came from.
