Discussion: The McPherson/Van Heese Case

James Maslow

Does anyone remember this case? I remember watching the movie/remake years ago but had forgotten about it until today when I came across this:

The McPherson Tape is a tape from 1983 that alleges to depict a UFO landing followed by an abduction. The tape circulated around the UFO community as authentic proof until Fox aired a re-make in 1998. The re-enacting of this tape then clouded the waters and had people debating on the authenticity of the 1998 tape instead of the 1983 version (released in 1989).

It is believed by UFO enthusiasts that the 1998 version was created in order to “debunk” the authentic 1989 version. Looking at the comments on YOUTUBE uploads even to this day it is apparent that people still confuse the 1998 remake with the genuine tape. There is no question that the 1998 remake is a film. The only question remaining is whether the 1983/89 tape is a FACT or FRAUD?

This was an actual movie shown on TV about a real-life case.

yes but I'm talking about the whole scenario.

I believe what the movie depicted is fake (probably even more embarrassingly fake than that)

wait so is this the "original" or the movie? I'm so confused. the "original" in the source looks just like the one in the OP.

I meant the original low-budget movie

, the 1998 version looks basic.
