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.
