I was at the theater, ready to watch District 9 when I saw a preview of an upcoming film, “The Fourth Kind.” The trailer staring Milla Jovovich hit me hard. I was creeped out by the Sumerian reference to people in space suits. Here’s a link to the trailer for The Fourth Kind. I am a big fan of the Sumerians, and to think that they had contact with aliens startled me. The Fourth Kind movie could be total hogwash, but the mere suggestion of alien contact engaging humanity since ancient times boggled me.
For some reason or another, I’ve been afraid of aliens for a long time. Ever since I was about 10 years old I’ve been scared of them. I’m talking about all kinds of aliens, but especially the kind of alien with the large eyes and the long neck and the small mouth. One night when I was about 10 years old, it was raining outside our home in Illinois. The rain was loud and it was splashing against my windows. Then when it was really late, I looked across my wide bedroom, and saw ghostlike grey faces looking at me through the window. They were semi-transparent, and they scared me. The faces then started to move closer inside the room by passing directly into the house through the wall. They seemed to be not entirely corporeal, or having a body, they seemed to be somewhat mist like. When I saw the beings begin to enter through the wall I immediately pulled the sheets over my head and hid under the covers lying very still. At the time I believed that if I was very still and did not look at them, the creatures wouldn’t hurt me. I could feel that the beings were close and they were watching me for quite some time. Then after shuddering underneath my covers, I felt that the aliens had left. Still to this day I am not sure exactly what happened. Did I just imagine the whole thing? I know I was young and had an active imagination but it feels real even to this day.
There’s something about the “Grey” alien that scares me to the core. When I see their large eyes and small mouth, I’m reminded of something. They look so familiar. I remember seeing the movie “Fire in the Sky” with my dad when I was about 11 or 12 years old. That movie scared my face off.
