It was no other than May 2nd, 4521 when the first Athaenroch ship had landed in a meadow in South Carolina. The News Reporters were all over the case. Joshua King had first heard of it while browsing through his favorite E-paper The Charleston Chase, A newspaper that usually covered stories on crime, but this made for quite an exception. The Article’s title caught his eye, Alien Life found, Intelligent or Not? Joshua thought it was most likely a ‘bacteria’ but found it read,

In the chapter “The Varieties of Alien Experience”, author Bill Ellis makes an argument that is easily relatable to modern society’s consistent fascination with conspiracy theories, difficult to explain phenomena, and matters of the paranormal. In particular, Ellis writes about the social implications that can be observed from the tendency of many presumed authorities and esteemed critics to analyze and disprove accounts of such extraordinary occurrences as alien abductions and other types of direct extraterrestrial interactions whenever they emerge from people who are convinced that they have gone through these types of supernatural events on a firsthand basis.

The possibility of life outside of our own planet has been boggling the minds of the human race for more years than anyone can truly know, however in the summer of 1947 new information made these already known suspicions even more apparent. A leery encounter with what a local farmer would identify as a UFO would quickly arise complications with the government and mysterious men who would threaten his family if any knowledge of this got out. These men would later coin the name “The Men in Black” due to their odd task of making sure no extraterrestrial information reached the public. The importance of these unexplainable men and their habits come to the surface when you truly begin to realize

Did you ever wonder how it would feel to be invaded? Or what aliens are like, maybe even how would life be if they came to Earth? H.G. Wells from The War of the Worlds and Ray Bradbury of “Zero Hour” explore how these unusual appearances of these creatures changed everything about these two characters lives.

The concept of “alienness” constitutes the physical manifestation of the cognitive, tremulous paranoia based on the instinct to survive. This physical manifestation of the “alien” has altered over the course of science fiction history in order to serve as a metaphor according to the cultural paranoia or prejudice of that time period. For example, one of the most significant and influential interpretations of the physical manifestation of the “alien” is in John W. Campbell’s novel Who Goes There? which depicts the story’s alien as having amorphous, shapeshifting capabilities allowing it to identically amalgamate into any organism. The psychological horror behind this power of infinite imitation capabilities has gone on to inspire several film adaptations of Campbell’s novel such as The Thing (1982), and the prequel/remake, The Thing (2011).

Although extraterrestrials never seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey, let along directly encounter by the characters in it, they play a vital role within the movie’s narrative. The monoliths encountered by the Australopithecines, scientists, and Dr. David Bowman in the desert, on the moon, and orbiting Jupiter, respectively, were all heavily implied to be placed by the unseen extraterrestrials. Each of these monoliths initiated an event that affected the party that encountered it, usually by causing some form of philosophical evolution. Furthermore, Bowman was transported to, lived, and died inside a palatial hotel room, and then was transformed into the Star Child and returned to Earth.

It takes absolute courage to stare death in the face, stand and fight, especially when death has no actual face. Aliens, written and directed by James Cameron, follows a former pilot, a group of marines and a corporate stiff as they go to investigate why they have lost communication with a colony of people on a planet that the corporation is trying to develop an atmosphere on. The investigation soon turns into a fight for survival and escape, as the colony has been overrun by aliens and is now their breeding grounds. Ellen Ripley, who is played by Sigourney Weaver, is the advisor to the expedition, but quickly becomes the group’s anointed leader. Ripley was recovered by a team, who found her in a state of hibernation, after she had to blow up her ship, because an alien got on board and killed her entire crew. She had been adrift for almost sixty years in a shuttle pod. When they got her back to the base, she had these reoccurring nightmares about the alien, such like it ripping out of her body. At first, the company didn’t believe her about the alien when they debriefed her, but when they lost contact with the colony they asked her to go with the marines, due to her experience with the creature. When Ripley and her team arrived on the planet, they found one survivor, a little girl, named Newt, played by Carrie Henn. Ripley develops a strong connection with Newt, and begins to look after and protect her. Ellen Ripley is established as a strong, female main character by what

Ned made the first move by going to the edge of the arena and then charging for me, I did the same and made my way to my edge of the arena. Now here's one of the things about werewolves, or just wolves in general, when we're met with a challenge head on, we don't doge it, or negate it (We're not Pokémon people) we go for it and ram them. I return the Challenge and charge straight for Ned.

Since the 1960’s, development of alien research has grown with the observed growth in extraterrestrial beliefs, “which has been accompanied by an increase in reported accounts of UFO and alien-related experiences” (Dagnall, Drinkwater, Parker, 700). This development has led to the categorizing of subjects by intelligent levels, personality traits, mental health, and many others, all in an effort to map the psyche of the paranormal believer, and to investigate the science behind these beliefs. Eye witnesses of alien abductions frequently describe their experience as being taken from bed by unworldly creatures, and brought on board their flying spacecraft to be exposed to all kinds of experimentation. Similar testimonies have been frequently
