I think this was the first movie I saw that I still remember. I remember the sound the UFO made when it tried to “talk” with the people on earth.

Off course this movie was made by Steven Spielberg and it is about the government in USA trying to cover up a landing of a UFO.

Richard Dreyfuss plays one of the people drawn to the UFO and builds a big mountain at his home similar to the one the UFO use as the landing spot. He feels he has to go and see why he did this.

Other people in the film are François Truffaut, Teri Garr and Melinda Dillon.

It was off course recorded in Alabama USA.
