Now, imagine that planet earth is just a backwater truckstop
on a minor trade route, and you're a human living on it, and
when you look up in the sky with your videocamcorder, see:
Long Cigar Shaped IACs (Identified Alien Craft)
V-Shaped huge craft (both IAC and of Terrestrial Origin)
Little Sports Craft saucers (UFOs, IACs, and Terrestrial versions)
Huge Mother Ships parked behind the Moon
a car pulls up to your house and out pour Men-In-Black...
the Orion Mafia, who confiscate your videotape and flash you with the
memory erasure so you won't wake up your fellow humans to the
gradual take over of government, military, and corporations
by the various ET groups now here.
Is that really such a stretch of imagination?

Not if your name's Barry Sonnenfeld.
Or rather Ed Solomon, since he was the screenwriter.

Note to Holeflapper: The movie "Men In Black" was not a documentary.
