The Encounter
Robert Emeneger, an author and filmmaker, became involved with UFOs in 1973 while working on television specials for the defense department. He learned about a film showing a landing of alien crafts at Holloman Air Force Base from Paul Shardle, a former security manager. Shardle described seeing footage of three disc-shaped crafts, one of which landed and released three aliens. The aliens were human-sized with gray skin and wore jumpsuits and communication devices. Emeneger wanted to use this footage in his special, but the Pentagon confiscated it at the last minute. Shardle's superiors claimed the footage was theatrical, but he believed it was too realistic. The encounter led Emeneger to believe that UFOs are real, and he later discovered that eight seconds of the footage was included in a documentary, but it did not show the aliens.
