AN sent this in. The main section with Larry Lowe is very good.

Do factions within the US government direct the depiction of UFOs and alien visitors in mainstream entertainment in order to manage the worldview of a credulous public? KMO welcomes Rational Ufologist, Larry Lowe, to the C-Realm to discus the possibility that the new NBC series, The Event, serves as a sort of ‘predictive programming’ meant to prepare the public consciousness for revelations about the on-going relationship between humans and ‘advanced beings’ of some kind. Later, Marty, co-host of the Flickers From the Cave Podcast, shares his impressions of the pilot episode of The Event.
I believe there may have been more alien shows. Consider the run of Star Trek and Doctor Who, and all the shows that overlapped with them. I believe the original V overlapped. The original Battlestar Galactica, while only on Earth for a short while, ran in the 70’s, concurrent with the others.
Hollywood, both for television and cinema, are well known for taking something that’s currently popular and beating it to death. Unfortunately, that’s what killed almost everything else, and opened the door for all the reality shows, and Star Search clones.
You raise an interesting question though. Is Hollywood used to test the populations acceptance to various topics, such as human alien interaction? It’s not totally unheard of. There were several instances of 9/11 scenarios, previous to 9/11.
The 1950’s alien movies introduced the idea of evil aliens. The 1960’s started introducing the idea that not all aliens were dangerous.
But beyond aliens, how many war movies softened us up to various aspects of war? Heroes were born in movies, and then we forget that for every hero, there are thousands of nameless privates and red shirt ensigns.
It’s probably nothing, but everything’s nothing until it happens.
In the 50s was a hype about aliens and ufos in hollywood films. Later on it was decided, that it was an allegory to the sovjets and the red menace.
I think all of these alien shows are warming us up for something that looks to be the real thing, hovering over a city near you shortly. Don’t believe it. Its fraud. Same old, same old. Not that I don’t believe in the alien presence.
The morons are going to warm us up with TV, show something in the sky to freak us out, and then the real aliens are going to finally show themseles to fix it.
Don’t know that this is going to go over well with the resident species.
