Water UFOs At The Movies

       While UFOs traveling into and out of water are not the best known of subject matter to the general public, it seems that at least Hollywood knows of them. The closest we’ve come to real depictions of the phenomenon are the occasional TV specials of UFOs that include the Shag Harbour case investigation.

       So – just for the fun of it, relax and rent a Water-UFO movie. More fiction than fact . . . or is it . . .

THE ABYSS (1989)

In the ensuing race, a team of civilian underwater oil platform drilling workers and U.S. Navy Seals are enlisted to assist. However as they near their goal tension rises within the two camps of the team.

SPHERE (1998)

       A Huge spaceship is found 1,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. It is dated to have been between 300 to 400 years on the bottom of the ocean floor.

With Hollywood’s typical penchant to scare you to death, the film moves to a remarkable conclusion . . . which you’ll have to discover for yourself.
