New article examining Disney's close ties to the U.S. national security apparatus and defense industry in the context of the company's production of UFO-themed entertainment.
This article includes newly-uncovered information relating to Disney's much-debated 1995 Alien Encounters documentary drawn from the first interview of its kind with the documentary's writer/director, Andrew Thomas.
Thomas also reveals in this same testimony that, prior to his work for Disney, he personally spearheaded the "special marketing" campaign for Spielberg's 1977 UFO movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. According to Thomas, this campaign involved bringing to a specially selected planetarium:
"tens-of thousands of kids from all around the country on the pretence of seeing an educational planetarium show, but what they really got was a sophisticated message to explain to them that extraterrestrials and UFOs are real and what an encounter of the first, second and third kind actually meant."
The article also includes new revelations from the director of Disney's Race to Witch Mountain concerning his CIA-supervised trip to NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain facility, where he personally quizzed military top-brass on their knowledge of the 2008 Stephenville UFO sightings.
