I watched 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' last night....

Good stuff. Wonderful practical effects and a fascinating exploration of the different ways alien life may reach earth. Not in metal ships but drifting on solar winds like pollen.

Imagining alien life without some human trait is difficult. These aliens, essentially plant life forms, are earthly but still far from human.

Speaking of aliens, we're coming up on the 18th anniversary of the Phoenix Lights, probably the most widely experienced yet least covered UFO events in American history.
