This one hour film, which reveals the latest UFO footage,
investigates the culture of Ufology, aliens, crop circles and cattle mutilation
throughout the ages and showcases the 50th anniversary celebration of the
suspected flying saucer crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
Despite the fact there has been no concrete evidence of
extraterrestrial life on earth; despite the fact that scientists, governments,
religious leaders and the military have vigorously argued against even
the possibility of such a thing, the cultural obsession with alien visitation
has never been more intense than it is right now. Why? And why now?
Alien Obsession is the first documentary to examine the
widespread fascination with extraterrestrial life on earth, not just as
a cultural phenomenon but as possibly the defining cultural phenomenon
of our day. Not only do blockbuster movies like Independence Day, Men in
Black and Contact feed and reflect the global fascination with otherworldly
encounters, globally-watched TV programs like The X-Files and Star Trek
also exploit the appetite. Extraterrestrial titles are non-fiction bestseller
list fixtures, and the Internet is home to countless alien-related websites.
Venturing from the top-secret military base at Area 51
to the equally legendary Roswell, New Mexico; featuring experts, believers,
skeptics and abductees, Alien Obsession is a riveting documentary account
of one of the most fascinating phenomena of our day.
