The Story Behind The UFO Sighting That Inspired "Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind"| Close Encounters

In October 1963, three Argentinian women saw a mysterious non-identified object beaming a very strong and hot light. The story is so enigmatic that it even inspired Steven Spielberg's hit movie "Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind".

Close encounter of 3rd kind was made by inspired stories of "Roswell incident" and more that occurred in the mid 20's century. Also, Dr. Haynek who'd been a part of the project blue book, was helping to make the movie more realistic.

Ive seen 3 over the last 10 years. One a orange ball that looked like a star but then moved at impossible speed and then making multiple right turns until it seemingly imploded. The second was 3 orange balls in the shape of a right triangle. I thought it may be a plane at first but it came directly overhead in the sky and hovered silently for a bit. Me and the random people i called over to make sure i wasnt crazy were all in awe. The third was at work. I was a crossing guard for a school and noticed a saucer type object sitting still just over a cloud. It had a rectangular top abover the saucer. It never moved. I helped kids cross the road and when i looked back, it was gone. The universe we inhabit is a wonderous place and we are not alone in it. Those things do stuff we couldnt dream of with current known tech.

I had my encounter in British Columbia in 2011 when Gold Prospecting at the end of a Forest Service road. I heard it coming down the valley and it's electromagnetic effects were felt on the hairs on my arms and back, the hairs were swaying back and forth to the sound. lasted about 10 to 15 seconds maybe more. I heard it coming and going like an emergency vehicle's siren.

That sound seems to be common. Check out the Travis Walton UFO abduction. It's on Joe Rogan Podcast on Spotify. He talks about hearing that same sound and kids from a University even questioned him about those sounds to try determining what the propulsion system was

From what I've read on other sites, they were aiming to conceal themselves in the crops and try to observe from a distance to determine what the lights were - their original thought was that guerillas may have hijacked a train on the nearby railway track, and the gun was to protect themselves if they were spotted. But they were intending to remain out of sight, until it became apparent the lights were no hijacked train but something else entirely.

There was no reason for a helicopter to be up there anyway and it didn't remind me of any type of light I had seen before. Always thought of it as a very weird experience.

The Holloman / Edwards AFB meetings DID influence CE3K - but Spielberg twisted the story around to keep the Truth from being revealed to the masses .. you must understand that the Hollywood Elite are identical to the Washington Elite .. they're in the business of MANIPULATING and CONTROLLING the masses, to maintain partisan political power over the masses, not defending the poor or the working class or demanding a transparent government .. the Hollywood Elite become the Hollywood Elite because they sell themselves either to the Democratic Party Elite or the Conservative Party Elite .. we are pawns and they control the game .. the big budget Hollywood films of the 1970s, 1980s and all the way to the present are just refined versions of the government propaganda films of the 1940s and 1950s .. Spielberg took a true story about a meeting between UFOs/ Aliens and President Eisenhower - a story that was given to him by high level gov agents - and he twisted it into a fictional narrative with almost no basis in truth .. notice how the Hero of CE3K is first turned into a "crazy nutjob" at the beginning of the film - this is what's known as an UNRELIABLE narrator - it's how the Hollywood Elite from both political parties operate .. Help us Control the masses .. provide effective disinformation to keep the Democrats and Conservatives in power and the masses dumbed down .. and the federal government will pay you millions of dollars, every year, for the rest of your life ..

Just a word of caution, when alien beings show up from far galaxies away in their hoopty, dont put your hands on the exhaust!

[@jimrodgers9227]

THAT WAS DUMB

[@lexibat8762]

Definitely not the most prudent action to take... It seems, though, that many witnesses experience altered states of consciousness when encountering unknown crafts. (and beings!) Hypnotic trances, reports of "feelings of calm" enveloping them, being "drawn to" the craft, etc. are commonly reported. Whether this is due to effects from energy emissions of the craft, psychic influences from the beings inside, or WHAT, is, lol, "still under investigation." Have you seen, "Fire in The Sky," or read the book it was based on? Decades later, (this case occurred in the 70s) with greater understanding, Travis Walton said that he interpreted his "abduction" differently: When he had gotten out of the truck, and stood beneath the glowing UFO, and it suddenly emitted a beam of light, that struck Travis and threw him several feet, leaving him unconscious on the ground-- he now believes that this had left him mortally wounded. The beings, knowing that they were responsible for his injury, (they didn't know the beam would do this to a human body? Or, the beam had nothing to do with Travis, and was a complete accident?) swooped him up, kept him in a coma for several days, and healed him. 5 days after he had disappeared, he was dropped off up the road from his hometown. This is a much different interpretation this his initial account of the experience, but, the moral is the same: don't stand near the exhaust! 😅

The more I see videos like this, and the more I realize how far technology has come, the more I'm convinced those objects are men made, and not from another planet.

[@donwheeler1208]

Elsa some of them are man made but the technology came from elsewhere. Ever since Roswell we’ve been back engineering their craft and now we have our own. Why do you think trump put the space force into existence? We have the craft now to travel the interstellar medium but only the privileged few get to know about it.

[@tomdalton1466]

Now go back to the 30s and 40s and tell me how smart we were, I'd bet you can't because as you may know printed circuit board hadn't been invented yet. Nor did we have capacitors, resistors, computers etc, etc.

OMG, he looks like Richard Dreyfus! It's chilling :D

[@alejandromagana1554]

The Spanish talking was way too silly (no one would use those expressions tbh), still a very interesting story!

[@soundmapper]

This was not the incident that the movie was based on.

[@jasonpeters9865]

Richard Dryfess was so lucky to get both roles in "CE3K" & "Jaws,"

The aliens where charging there batteries lol

A few films out there that were inspired by true events and includes star trek the original...rodenberry and Spielberg were advised from the top

[@r1ckySV]

What do you mean?

[@karinbarger9192]

It means someone has swallowed yet another conspiracy theory hook, line and sinker.

[@MetalMatt2510]

Apparently Spielberg was given footage if you believe the stories.

[@franmellor9843]

@@MetalMatt2510 don't know about that but my former post they were done to de sensitise the masses

[@wobblewobble7330]

Always amazed the best sightings no cameras. Imagine happening now in middle of a city.. WOW!

[@ariesred777]

Back in the mid 1960's in Australia don't know about anywhere else, not many people had personal cameras,let alone school children taking them to school to take photo's.Developing time was over a week at a lab.

[@theunhappygamer1744]

there are plenty of sightings taken with cameras online... its just usally dark and these things tend to be extremely bright so you end up seeing a orb flying around in the video

[@KellySmith-lc5lw]

The production quality is outstanding with Quest TV....longer running time would be welcomed, however it may spoil, less is more sometimes.....

[@morlockmeat]

Nice recreation of the story. But it had nothing to do with Spielberg's inspiration. Spielberg referenced a bunch of supposed sightings and incidences and put them together into one running storyline. This story was not one of them.

[@tomdalton1466]

Prove it buddy ! !

And this Inspired "Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind"| Close Encounters" How?

I once saw one in my my city hovering over McDonald's for a few minutes. I was with a cab driver. He saw it first . It looked almost the same as the one in this tape but it had colorful lights and also square windows.

"We're almost out of matches" then proceeds to light the 50th candle with a match. There you have it..human intelligence. No wonder we get probed😃

[@RichM0410]

mi buy thought the same thing!

[@lollydavis8816]

If you’re almost out of matches wouldn’t it make sense to light the candles with the remaining flame from the ones about to go out?

[@joedmac78]

It's a DJ and a laser light machine..I used to see these all the time at raves back in the mid 90s

[@rexrexrex67]

Correction: This was one of the inspiration for the Steven Spielberg's Movie "Close Encounter of the Third Kind" The actual inspiration for the Spielberg's Movie was ,believe it or not,an actual meeting that happened in the early 1950's at Edward's Air Force base, between the Military heads , the Majestic 12 (the government's representatives)and an huge UFO Craft with reps of that Alien species,The whole event was captured on film ,Both Parties on both side allowed their people to be exchanged for scientific examinations ,This was filmed in the movie as well when the men and women soldiers were led on board the UFO'S CRAFT.At the same time the grays were put into rooms and they showed what they could do to soldiers who were ordered to go into the same room as the Grays ,some committed suicide once they were in the room by running into the walls because the Alien took over their heads. This story was confirmed by the researcher Dr J Allen Hynek,who led the investigation into the Military's UFO Investigation called "PROJECT BLUE BOOK" apparently Dr J Allen Hynek was on the movie site during filming as a consultant to Steven Spielberg during the making of the movie "Close Encounter Of The 3rd Kind".Apparently ,and this cannot be confirmed but every Presidents since the 50's have been given a special showing of the film and was told to never bring it up again or speak of it in public,Richard Nixon supposedly showed his good friend famous star Jackie Gleason a Gray being kept in status in a bottle and told Gleason all about what he saw in the film. Apparently Jackie Gleason was a UFO believer and fanatic and kept pestering President Nixon to show him or tell what he knew about the incident.

[@GT-jp4bo]

Wish these shows were longer then 7 min!!!!

[@kenchorney2724]

"We're almost out of matches." So instead of lighting the candle off of one of the dozens of candles already burning, I'll use one of the few remaining matches......because....logic.

[@LikeItDeep]

They encountered a weather balloon inflated with swamp gas.

[@franklinschad9362]

I thought the UFO landing at Holloman AFB in New Mexico inspired that movie.

[@tomobrien1444]

That's what i heard

[@hotsauce7629]

Yes Allan Air Force was the inspiration for the ending.

[@brachio1000]

Several inspirations, I think.
