Holy shit I didn't know this was a thing. I'm intrigued, scared, repulsed, and feeling educated all at the same time.

Spielberg was going to follow up Close Encounters of the Third Kind with a film entitled Watch The Skies (initially the title for Close Encounters) and then, Night Skies , which was inspired by the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter stories he'd heard about while researching UFOs for CEotTK, including talking with researcher J. Allen Hynek. Spielberg was going to produce, but not direct as he was already contracted to direct his next film for Universal.
The story was that five aliens (originally the script had eleven) land and terrorize the animals and then people living on a Kentucky farm. They're mostly malevolent, except for one who makes a connection with one of the farm family, who is autistic. Special effects master Rick Baker was tapped to generate some alien designs, but Speilberg in the end decided to focus on the idea of a more pleasant alien that becomes friends with a boy, and thus E.T. was eventually made. For his part, Baker said he wasn't happy at the time, he and his crew had already put in a lot of work on these designs and Spielberg's talk of getting Baker to design the new friendly alien for his new movie idea didn't go anywhere. Spielberg and others still attempted to make a go at getting Night Skies made, including talk of a sequel to ET where he must save Elliot and family after they are kidnapped by the more hostile aliens.

There were variations on reports of what the alleged creature looked like, some saying the popular depiction, which found it's genesis from an artist who drew it while listening to a witness being interviewed on a New York TV program was 'incorrect', and that it was a towering, metallic thing with no arms just hovering above the ground. The bottom pic is a sketch made later with input from a witness with researcher Frank Feschino, who wrote a pretty wild book on the incident that more than suggested there was a wave of UFO sightings and other strange incidents on the same night of the Flatwoods Monster sighting and that they may have been connected.

My question is tho is that do the people drawing this stuff actually believe this?

I'm sure some people claiming to have been abducted are lying, but many of these people (the ones who do this kind of outsider art) at least claim to believe it, and they've oriented their lives around their experiences in a way that means it's either genuine or a very high-effort fraud.

Slightly off topic observation: I've always noticed that the abduction stories sound like human scientists picking up animals, tagging them, and then releasing them into the wild, I always thought xenos were just doing the same thing.

Yes.
The "Box of Crazy" belonged to a Danish man called Daniel Christiansen (1904-1994) who had moved to Florida. He seemed to be a very lonely man who entertained some fringe religious ideas. He was apparently very obsesssed with the Book of Ezekiel.

I love this thread and it's super, super fun to talk about this stuff, but it really doesn't seem like much of a lolcow thread.

The Varginha (tee-hee!), Brazil encounters have always interested me, given how odd the alien 'encountered' looked, resembling a fucking Harlequin baby.
This is a case that grabbed me back when i was UFO obsessed; after sighting of lights over the Brazilian city for days in the early 90s, a trio of women out walking their dogs or someshit encountered this thing hiding in an alley. They ran in terror as you would and when they returned, it was gone but there was a disgusting smell everywhere.
For days afterward, hysteria spread. Claims of animals sucked dry of blood and sightings of it at a zoo, military vans everywhere, and one mother claimed her soldier son died of radiation poisoning after being involved in a black operation in the city.
Of course, it could all be mass hysteria and i wouldn't be surprised given how hysterical Brazilians can be. The case has almost been completely forgotten in recent years, and seems to have chupracabra elements to it.
Edit: maybe this thread is better elsewhere.

One thing that's always fascinated me about the Brazillian accounts is how much they differ from everywhere else.
In Brazil, every UFO incident is extremely hostile. There's no New Age Space Brothers crap down there, it's invasions, kidnappings, rapes, and all kinds of wild shit.
