At first I thought it was an airplane, then a satellite, even another moon, because it seemed to not be moving much. Finally, when it shifted a few times, my inside voice exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! It's a UFO!"
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program has not gone unscathed from the recent economic turmoil. In fact, in April of last year, their flagship radar field went dark.
In a movie it's important to have aliens whose gestures and facial expressions can be "read" by humans. But come on! Are two eyes, four appendages and an upright posture really essential?
