On a sultry summer's eve in the late 1960s, a group of rural Colombians had an all too close encounter with a flying saucer and its semi-humanoid pilot... an encounter which quickly devolved from riveting to terrifying; proving, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the early Spielbergian ideal of the benevolent E.T. is just what we always knew it to be… a work of fiction.
