We Are Not Alone

Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper claims to have had documented alien company when he was up in space, and despite the fact that Earth Day was last week, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell feels that the real action is elsewhere. He grew up in Roswell, New Mexico, and claims to have been told things as a boy by people who witnessed perhaps the most famous UFO event of our time. “Our destiny,” Mitchell says, “in my opinion, and we might as well get started with it, is [to] become a part of the planetary community. … We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.”

A venturesome science-fiction/mythical story pitting man against machine against new age nihilism against slow-motion bullets, with a dash of time transcendence thrown in for special effects crunchy goodness. Without putting a value judgment on it as a film or a philosophy, it can still serve as a planet-wide meme for the purveyors of and partakers in world culture, even a rudimentary philosophy of reality.
