- Institutional Dynamics
- Are the world’s religions ready for E.T.?
- Hollywood strongly shapes our images of UFOs and aliens, sometimes under government influence.
- These four alien movies represent the spectrum from military confrontation, to scientific curiosity, subtle dream-like engagement, and deep friendship.
