Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
A young girl, kidnapped from her planet, is left stranded on Earth. She manages to survive, then tries to blend in with earthpeople and still remain anonymous, for earthpeople hate aliens. After her true identity is discovered she goes from one adventure to another as she flees her pursuers, people who want to capture her for their own selfish reasons and those who want to save the world from extra-terrestrials. The U.S. government becomes involved in the pursuit. Leading the chase is Major John Andrews, who believes in alien abductions. The abductors have tormented him for years. She soon realizes that the only person who can help her is her worst enemy, Major Andrews. He suspects that she is the only person who can save him. Her goal is to go home, not save the world from their own foolishness, and certainly, not to fall in love.

Alien Abduction in the Cinema
Author: Paul Meehan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476688273
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The alien abduction phenomenon is one of the enduring enigmas of our time. While the reality of alien abductions is a hotly debated topic among UFO researchers, scientists, skeptics and true believers alike, the phenomenon indisputably exists as an artifact of popular culture. This book analyzes more than 75 films that draw their inspiration from allegedly fact-based accounts of alien contact, from 1951's The Man from Planet X to Contactee in 2021. These films are examined in terms of both their cinematic qualities and their exploration of thematic elements derived from abduction reports. Abduction motifs that appear in science fiction classics such as The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001 and Close Encounters are analyzed, as well as those in lesser-known films like The Stranger Within, Starship Invasions, Dark Skies and Proximity. Special attention is given to movies based on the famed experiences of abductees Betty and Barney Hill, Whitley Strieber and Travis Walton. The book also addresses skeptical theories about the origins of the phenomenon in science fiction and examines an uncanny prescience that appears to anticipate these inexplicable occurrences.
