Some okay visuals (with respects to the abduction and alien spacecraft) for its time, this is one I saw once before sometime back in the mid-90s when I was big into The X-Files though even back then I didn't think much of it and same this time around. The acting was okay with marks for Robert Patric ... k. I'd be interested in watching a documentary on the real story (which I think clearly was a hoax) and media sensation around it. **2.75/5**
