Based on true events?


I don't seem to find much on the net about Casper Lease or Jon and Jean Kraw etc. Certainly nothing that mentions the events of this film in their own right. Has anybody found something I am missing? Where can I see the real footage or photo's? Is this all a hoax?

reply

me too i don't know if this is based on true event's or it's just a mockumentary.

I can't find any information about casper lease on the internet.

This movies was written based to be all fiction, but I had done research before this movie ever came out and while the events in this movie are fiction the facts are that many people go "missing" every year from hunting trips, camping trips and so on often nothing is ever learned of their fate or why they went missing. The theories range from lost and died from stravation, exposeure ,runaways, killed by an animal, bigfoot, to being abducted by aliens, or the goverment because they entered a place or saw what they should not have. What ever the cause up to a hundred or so people go missing each year, the facts of their dissapearence are often covered in miles of red tape, no official information can be obtained on the cases and the familiesseem to go from concern for the ones missing to going missing themselves if they look into the matter to deeply to being so quit about the matter that they act the missing person(s) never exisited. The stories seldom get into the local news and never in the national news unless it is to say something like due to weather of terrain the search was unable to find anything and that little or no hope is expressed infind the missing person(s). Then it is all but deleted from public notice. And for me I belive that while the why in still an unknown factor at least one factor is certain people go missing and someone does not want the public to find out why.

If you really wanted to know you could've watched until the end of the credits where it told you that "it was based on fictional events and any similarity is coincidential" and whatnot.

The film itself is fiction. It IS however based on three very real events. A family in San Diego CA, (as reported in New Atlantis 2nd Quarter 1984), Westing Tx, 1992, (American Jurnal Of Theoretical Science and Space, June 1995), and Aurora Il, (Atlantis Rising [formerly New Atlantis], Janurary 2000).

All three stories are nearly identical, A family or group went onto a hunting trip on a private land lease, found a fenced in area well within the property, crossed into it and found themselves caught inside. In the Aurora case, three members got out but in the other two only one did, in the Texas case a young boy and in the California case a man 'in his 20s'. All three reported they found large beings that were equally adapt to walking on two legs or on all four, resembled humans but had amphibian-features, and were far taller, when standing, than average humans. All three cases claimed to be 'hunted' by these beings.
Are there aliens? Who knows. You have to be a complete fool to say arbitrarily no. I've seen some weird things in my time; never aliens (to my knowledge) but some things can't be explained, even with more than 6 years in theoretical- science, -astronomy and -physics.

For those who are wondering, the white piles repersent phosphorous in a magnetized-gravitational loop (the closest science has come to a 'warp field' in reality). The hum is the electrical field given off by creating one. And the setup is quite accurate. It shows that they did put SOME research into it rather than just reading a few stories. My guess is that's their indirect statement to people like me who recognized the stories and wondered... a sort of wink wink notice. It could, theoretically, be the means of transportation for aliens/ships, creating something much more like the Star Gate rather than a Star Trek warp drive.

None of these found footage movies are real. Ever.


Seriously, this was't even a found footage movie: it's a found footage - traditional footage hybrid along the lines of Super 8. The footage we were watching was stolen towards the end of the movie, so didn't that tip you off that this might have been fiction?
