UFOs and The Power of Hollywood - Mysterious Universe

Robbie Graham presents four articles on UFOs in media. Featuring (somewhat awkwardly given its focus on movies) a tv trailer, Graham first discusses the relationship between "fact-based UFOlogical literature, events, and debate" informing Hollywood's UFO movie content, and how UFO movies "are the dominant cultural force shaping our perceptions of the phenomenon," distorting "an underlying and mystifying truth." Graham focuses on governmental meddling in Hollywood's offerings in UFOs and Censorship: Managing Minds Through Media. Most of the discussion deals with tv offerings, as Graham observes subtle changes in military efforts to manage popular perceptions with its own "self-serving UFO narrative." That last quote, meaningfully, links to a late 2016 Graham article on Tom DeLonge. Graham's next piece again deals with fact and myth: 'Bob Lazar' Film Presents the Man Behind the Myth of Area 51: Exclusive Interview with Director. The "Director" is Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell, and the conversation is about "JKLC's" latest film Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers, which premiered on December 3rd. Whatever one thinks of Lazar's story, Corbell claims this film shows Lazar the human being. In his Review: 'Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers, Graham carefully distinguishes what he believes about Lazar's personal truthfulness from the story he tells, which Graham believes is disinformation born of "a sophisticated and ongoing UFO perception management campaign." Graham's examination of the JKLC film itself is rather negative. While a view of Lazar the person 30 years removed "from when he rocked the world" comes through, Graham thinks Corbell missed a huge opportunity to probe the "political and UFOlogical climate in which Lazar's story originally came to light."
