Legolas,
"Disclosure is at hand. It is very close. And the American people need to prepare themselves very soon for an announcment from our government...that there is in fact an extra-terrestrial presence engaging this planet and the human race."
This is a statement made by a UFO 'researcher'. It has no basis in fact but is the speculative, wishful thinking, of a person who is completely convinced of his viewpoint.
"In 1975 Armaggedon will come and God will bring Paradise to the earth". Spot the similarity? Both statements made on the flimiest of evidence by those with an agenda. Perhaps they feel that by stating this nonsense it will somehow become a reality, I know that I did!.
As to the film, well I am sure there is some feasible explanation, one being the 'oil rig mirage' explanation.
