Project Mindshift: The Re-Education of the American Public Concerning Extraterrestrial Life, 1947-present

Michael Mannion

Are extraterrestrials real? Or are they the product of overactive imaginations fed by weekly TV shows and tabloid headlines? Is the government’s silence due to ignorance, or to a plan that was implemented long before the public ever heard of ‘Martians’? Is the motive of the media to simply profit from this phenomenon, or is it to act as a medium of something much larger and more complex than entertainment? This book is for both the believer and the sceptic – to be used to decipher the connection between the role of the media and the history of UFOs. For nearly fifty years, in TV shows from Captain Video to The X-Files, movies from The Day the Earth Stood Still to Men in Black, from headline stories in both trashy tabloids and respectable publications, and now on the internet – we have constantly been exposed to extraterrestrials. This book examines the media’s saturation with UFOs and aliens, and addresses a series of arguments as to how it became that way, when it will end, and who’s pulling the strings.
