- IT WAS INITIALLY A VERY DIFFERENT FILM. Spielberg’s initial story outline involved UFOs and shady government dealings following the Watergate scandal, which became a script entitled “Watch the Skies.”
- IT’S NAMED AFTER LEGITIMATE UFO RESEARCH. Spielberg partly based his idea on the research of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a civilian scientific advisor to Project Blue Book who eventually admitted that 11 percent of the study’s findings about unidentified flying objects could not be explained using science.
- THERE’S A CAMEO FROM THE GODFATHER OF UFO RESEARCH. Hynek, who also served as a technical advisor on the movie, makes an uncredited cameo in the final scene of the movie.
