if errol morris and the wonderfully unconventional auteur responsible for such disarmingly offbeat documentary a gate of heaven and vernon and florida and and a brief history of time and decide to make a deceptively ordinary average people who have be abduct by alien and thoroughly examine by them relate their experience on film type of speculative ufo documentary it would probably be a lot like this engagingly quirky little winner . this movie focus on the aetherius society and a group of devout and passionate ufo buff who call themselves contactees and have be preach salvation from outer space since the tense and clammy cold war era 50 . several member of the cult be interview while they make strikingly cogent remark about the human race self destructive war like nature and petty religious squabble and the appalling lack of civility and communication in our society and the infamous roswell incident and the american government cover up of information concern the existence of ufos and and their desire to educate the ignorant public about what really go down . the contactees do not seem remotely like the naive and wide eyed and day dream out of touch with reality rave fruitcake the medium frequently present to the mass . instead they come across a regular and rationale and intelligent individual whose uncommon belief and philosophy be not consonant with mainstream society . director or producer or editor or cinematographer robert stone make this obvious labor of love with a sharp eye and an open mind and a great deal of heart warm compassion and and a refreshingly low key and down to earth and unaffected style and mix black and white newsreel footage ( mostly show the army ludicrous effort at dispel theory about ufos with phony scientific explanation ) and film clip ( include santa claus conquer the martian . ) and golden oldie song and and an intriguing believer vs. nonbeliever subtext into a unique and compelling and provocative whole . an unexpected and truly remarkable treat and this lovely jewel be ton good than most ufo documentary because it steadfastly avoid the middle of the road and tread down some fascinatingly novel and unfamiliar path that be an absolute joy to behold . a sweet and sparkle unsung gem .
