Highlighting the seriousness with which Washington has long regarded the potential of entertainment media to shape popular perceptions of the UFO phenomenon, this talk will bring together six-decades-worth of concrete cases in which the US government and military have attempted – often successfully – to shape the content of UFO-themed film and television products. In the majority of these cases, the government has sought to downplay the significance of UFOs and to massage its own public image in relation to the phenomenon.

What the heck was THAT crap? Face it, the Aliens represent a level of civilization that the American military-industrial complex is not yet willing to embrace. A vegetarian communist society that doesn
Since ET I remember these movies that did not show aliens as enemies of humanity:<br />Starman,Avatar and District 9.
