Trivia:

The character of Dr. Neil Chase is based on John Edward Mack, M.D. (Oct 4, 1929 - Sep 27, 2004). A Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr Mack was one of the most renowned proponents of alien abductions.

Goofs:

Boom mic visible: During the panning shot as the abductees are leaving the group therapy session, a boom mic can be seen and is then withdrawn from the shot.

One of the best movies about the subject

This is one of the best stories based on true experiences from people all over the world about UFO's and abductions which is made into a movie. Good book from the initial author Budd Hopkins who is a specialist about the subject. It is in line with other movies like "A Fire In The Sky" from Travis Walton and "Communion" from the author Whitley Strieber which are also based on true stories. Luckily the filmmakers did have hired good actors. Richard Crenna and Mare Winningham are very persuasive. A must see for everyone who have interest into the subject. I would like to buy this film on DVD (widescreen if possible), but unfortunately it is still not available on DVD.
