"Huliq"STONEFIELD BEACH, ORE. - EVER SINCE NASA FOUND THAT PLANET OUTSIDE OUR SOLAR SYSTEM THAT LOOKS TO BE "JUST LIKE EARTH, WE'VE HAD A MAILSTROM OF E-MAILS ASKING IF THE EXTRATERRESTRIALS HAVE RETURNED TO EARTH," EXPLAINS CYNTHIA MACCREADY WHO RUNS A WEBSITE ABOUT THE POPULAR UFO SIGHTING LOCATION AT STONEFIELD BEACH.
"What are people to think when NASA tells us about this 'Kepler 22-b' that's a lot like Earth," explains Stonefield Beach local Cynthia MacCready in a recent Huliq interview. "Well, I'm being asked - in the mailstrom of e-mails we've received here at Stonefield -- if new UFO sightings have anything to do with this Kepler 22-b. One local said 'people have been acting even stranger, and not like themselves.' Another said the aliens can't be seen because they have human-like form, but are emotionless. That's not proof 'cause we have a lot of emotionless folks around Oregon these days who are stunned with being out of work, and this weak economy." Meanwhile, Stonefield locals are featuring two films with the title "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" at a local community gathering this Sunday "because, what the heck, it's lucky '55' with the anniversary of the original 'Invasion" back in 1956 when I was born," adds MacCready.
Moreover, there's been "a huge number of alien abduction claims worldwide since NASA's Kepler 22-b announcement. We (ufologists) don't know if this is due to some memory trigger due to the news of another Earth or what," adds MacCready who studies UFOs as "a hobby."
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS IN A TIME OF NEW EARTH-LIKE DISCOVERIES
While MacCready says the "original 1956 version of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' is the best" because, in part, the author of the book "The Body Snatchers" by Jack Finney lived here in central Oregon for a time, "it's also the timing of this Kepler 22-b discovery that makes it even more interesting."
MacCready, 55, is a self-proclaimed "Baby Boomer" who retired "early thanks to good investments," and now "has fun showing classic movies on weekends to friends, so they will think about life rather than just being bystanders."
For instance, the 1978 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" features Star Trek's Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) as a psychiatrist named Dr. David Kibner, who tells locals that they haven't been abducted by aliens. Still, the townspeople who notice "changes in their neighbors" complain after recent UFO sightings outside of the community. In both the 1956 and 1978 version, the cult movie star Kevin McCarthy appears as a man screaming "They're here!"
In turn, both films - that will be shown as a special "holiday" double-feature Dec. 11 at Stonefield Beach - opens with a view of deep space that looks a lot like the recent NASA views of Kepler 22-b; while it's disclosed that a race of beings must abandon their dying world. Pushed through the universe by the solar winds, they make their way to Earth and land at a place much like nearby Bray's Point or Stonefield Beach.
UFO SIGHTINGS HAPPEN, AND THEN ABDUCTIONS
"The UFO we saw was silver and long shaped. It was very quiet. When me and my friend looked at each other in shock and looked back up it was gone just like that. I know we were abducted and have no memory of it," explained a teen on the popular website abduct.com.
"There was one night when I had a dream. All I remember of the dream was I was on a table in a very bright and clean room. There were aliens around me. The ones with the big black eyes. I was screaming at them like I was a little child telling them to leave me alone and get away from me. Then I woke up and my heart was beating so fast and I had so much fear in me. I wonder if they came and got me that night. I really don't know," the teen added, while adduct.com stated how the teen "heard of people being hypnotized to find out what happened to them. I have thought about it and wonder if I do if the memories of what the things these monsters did to me will be very hard to forget. Right now all the memories I have is what I have told you."
BODY SNATCHERS IN FILM AND REAL LIFE
Back in December 1978, the then popular UFO magazine "OMNI" featured a page one report on the Christmas release of the re-make of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that was re-made in part, said the film's producers, because "of a rash of abductions " in both the U.S. and overseas.
In fact, the subject of the original book and the two "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" films were part of a recently released British government release back in March of 8,500 once top secret UFO documents, with several UFO files mentioning "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" as "an area of interest."
At the same time, OMNI's Christmas edition for 1978 featured the following overview:
"Many light-years away in a distant galaxy a world is dying. Powerful winds swirl loose topsoil from the arid surface into an ethereal haze beneath the planet's twin amber moons. Strange, almost invisible plants quiver, discharging pale clouds of spores into the angry atmosphere. Tiny diaphanous flecks, like some insect swarm, spin and tumble across eons until gravity tugs them into the ionosphere and down into blue sky and onto a green, hospitable planet. The spores settle like fluff from milkweed onto sidewalks and streets and parks and along beaches and rooftop gardens."
"The Invasion of the Body Snatchers has begun. What will happen to us? Will our world survive it?"
In turn, producer Bob Solo and director Phil Kaufman told OMNI that they feel the Jack Finney classic "has more to say to the world of the Seventies than that of the Fifties, which is why they decided to make a film now based on the book that explains how everyday people you meet on the street are aliens."
