Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Real Story.  Close Encounters was an instant smash hit when it hit theaters in 1977 and reawakened man’s obsession with the eternal question; “Are we alone in the Universe?” Though a work of fantasy, few realize that Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi classic was actually inspired by real-life witness testimony, as well as a series of UFO sightings in Michigan in the summer of 1966.  Separate science fact from science fiction as the film re-examines government documents and put old witness testimonies to the test using modern technology.
