Movie Connections:

Featured in "UFO Hunters: Abductions (#1.3)" (2008/I)

This a hard to deny account of alien abduction.

I find the account of this incident very hard to deny. The characters are well acted and is worth waiting to see when it appears on tv again. I remember once seeing it on the Science Fiction Channel. The only draw-back was the commercials would break the mood of the movie. It is a shame that this movie is not available on VHS.
