'Alien Trespass' explores '50s UFO views, public acclimation

(This article originally appeared on the Transcendent TV & Media site.)

The new movie "Alien Trespass" opens in theatres Friday, April 3, and its value for audiences now may be below our conscious radar.

When watching "Alien Trespass," we might wonder about the intentions of producer and director R.W. Goodwin, and writers James Swift and Steven P. Fisher in making this 1950s-type UFO movie.

Goodwin contributed to more than 100 episodes of "The X-Files" so we know he has a sophisticated understanding of many current questions about UFOs and government activities related to them.

Did Goodwin, Swift and Fisher intend to make fun of these old movies, create a nostalgic tribute of sorts, or what?

"Alien Trespass" seems to have both overt and subtle elements of both – and maybe more intriguing aspects too.

MEDIA AND SOCIETY

Understanding the flavor of these '50s-era UFO movies may be just as important recognizing the social impact of movies in the '50s about World War II and the Cold War. These films framed the military and geopolitical world for us at that time and even affect us now.

We know that media platforms of the '50s and subsequent decades have shaped our perception on many subjects, including UFOs and extraterrestrial and/or extra-dimensional visitation.

An interesting question may be: Were these media efforts themselves shaped by something beyond simple human imagination, Hollywood creativity and entertainment business savvy?

The fact that the federal government teamed-up with Hollywood during World War II and beyond is well documented.

There are also reports and indications that Hollywood has long been linked to official government military and intelligence efforts to acclimate the American public about the nature of the UFO situation.

These kinds of accounts claim that a discreet effort to educate and acclimate the public was begun on the topic of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth based on information that had come to the attention of government, military and intelligence officials.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE

As we view "Alien Trespass," we might remember that during the '50s, if there were actual government responses and preparedness regarding a possible UFO scenario, then scientific, military and intelligence activities would naturally include preparing or acclimating Americans and people internationally.

Of course, not all movies or TV shows about alien invaders were part of some coordinated program, just as all war movies were not part of Pentagon activities.

Still, one way or the other, movies like this had significant effects on kids, teens and adults about the possibilities of alien encounters.

It might be that "Alien Trespass" helps us get an overall societal perspective on the body of general awareness and perception about UFOs and intelligent visitation to Earth.

Current news, discussions and research about these topics range from very serious (though often behind-the-scenes) scientific investigation to UFO hoaxes and debunkers of various kinds.

Whether there are ongoing U.S. and international military and intelligence activities along these lines is difficult to say, though reasonable open-source information seems to indicate this possibility or probability.

There may also be very complex and sensitive aspects that span the alleged 1947 Roswell incident, to 1950s UFO/alien movies that Alien Trespass explores, to discreet activities that are ongoing now.

SILLY AND SERIOUS

As we watch the "Alien Trespass" astronomer character played by Eric McCormack have his consciousness altered by an alien named Urp, who borrows McCormack's body for a secret mission, it might be useful to think more deeply about the human mind, telepathy, ESP and mind control.

The astronomer's wife, played by Jody Thompson, soon finds that her husband has a changed personality and has become something other than he was before – an experience shared by many married couples. It also dovetails with the apparent continuing development of human consciousness.

When we see Urp explain to the waitress Tammy (Jenni Baird) that he seeks a human-hating (and human-eating) alien Ghota, it might be worthwhile to consider the rumors that there actually may be both friendly and hostile extraterrestrial/extra-dimensional visitors in our midst.

It's no wonder that Urp starts to feel a human-like attraction for Baird. Both she and Thompson provide more than enough sex appeal to satisfy both humans and extraterrestrials. These beautiful women remind us of some of the things that are right with the human race.

As local cops Dan Lauria and Robert Patrick try to deal with the unfolding situation, it might be interesting to wonder how modern-day public safety officials would handle a UFO or ET incident.

"Alien Trespass" can be enjoyed and appreciated on many levels, if we open our minds to the topics it touches upon. Like many things in life, the value of this film is in the eye of the beholder.

So, get your movie ticket, popcorn and open mind ready for a fun trip back to the future with "Alien Trespass."
