UFO sightings or viral marketing?

Posted by dailypop on September 23, 2007

As can be seen in the news, there has been an increase in UFO sightings. In the case of the ‘Isaac Drone,’ the object was revealed to be an alien tech experiment begun in the 1980’s.

More recently, UFOs have been spotted in Haiti. The UFOs look more like special effects from an upcoming blockbuster movie… or at least a lackluster Sci-Fi Channel film.

The Haiti UFO was later exposed by the LA Times as a special effects experiment by a French animator who worked on Michael Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It’s a test for an upcoming project… perhaps JJ Abrams’ Cloverfield?

This raises some very odd questions.

In the past, talk of Project Bluebook, Area 51 or UFO sightings in general was met with the muttered remark, ‘what a crackpot.’ As sightings increased, so did talk of a government cover-up. Many believed that aliens had been visiting our planet for generations and that the US government was hushing it upĀ  to avoid any public outcry.

That story is now completely on its head as videos of UFO sightings are being used as a viral marketing technique by movie studios… I really did not see that coming.

So hoe long has JJ Abrams been marketing this thing?
