Ten-part 2002 science-fiction miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg, tracing alien encounters and government secrecy across three American families.
Taken, billed as Steven Spielberg Presents Taken, is a ten-part television miniseries produced by DreamWorks Television and broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel in December 2002. Created and written by Leslie Bohem with Steven Spielberg as an executive producer, it follows three families across several generations, beginning with World War II pilots and the 1947 Roswell era and ending in the present day of the story.
The Keys family experiences repeated abductions; the Crawfords build careers around a secret government investigation; and the Clarkes become central to an alien-human breeding project. By moving through parents, children, and grandchildren, the series treats abduction and contact as inherited trauma as much as spectacle. Dakota Fanning plays Allie Keys, a child whose abilities and ancestry draw together the alien and government plots.
Taken assembles many established UFO motifs into one continuous mythology: missing time, implants, screen memories, recovered debris, clandestine laboratories, Roswell, and hybrids. It does not present those elements as documentary reconstruction. Their dramatic power comes from blending stories that developed in different decades into a family epic about obsession, secrecy, and the cost of treating people as experimental subjects. Contemporary promotion emphasized Spielberg’s role, while Bohem’s long-form script supplied the series’ structure and emotional continuity.
The production won the 2003 Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries and remains an unusually ambitious example of UFO television before the post-2017 UAP era. Its influence is clearest in how it translated specialist lore into mainstream character drama. Taken belongs to the cultural history of alien belief rather than the evidentiary history of any one case: a fictional synthesis that made the themes of government secrecy and cover-up legible across fifty years of American life.
This is my 13th post of something unexplainable. I'm not the best editor, but I did what I could with what I had. So, these were meant to be just pictures of some clouds, actually just a picture. I had accidentally hit the shutter twice so there are 2 pictures. Since they were live photos, I got 2 videos. They were taken on Sunday, May 29, 2016 at 6:44 p.m. in Fayetteville, AR (metadata is great) I didn't even realize anything was there until I had put them on my pc and just happened to...
Anyone who thinks (either of these) charlatans should be taken at face value can or should be taken seriously, go back and watch this interview: Spoken Transcript Excerpt: Coulthart: April 2026 and okay, you know, you've put yourself in it there, Chris, because it's going to be Chris Bledsoe says April 2026 is when it all happens. Bledsoe: Let me I said this in my book, so let's revert back to my book. And my book clearly states what Chris said is the lady explained to me that in April of 26...
🚨JAKE BARBER SAYS A GIANT “MOTHERSHIP” IS RELEASING EGG SHAPED UFOs Jake Barber has taken his story a giant leap further. Speaking at the recent UAP conference in Stockholm, he said he was told that the egg shaped craft he has previously discussed are coming from a mothership, cylindrical craft operating in low orbit or high in the atmosphere. According to Barber, the larger craft periodically releases the eggs to scout Earth. He says some are unmanned, and others are occupied by Grey's. He...
In September 1973, Orval Wyman and his wife took a photograph beside the Clearwater River in Idaho. The Wymans later said they remembered nothing unusual when the snapshot was taken. The photograph was brought to Canadian UFO Report by Betty Jones, and was published on the cover of Vol. 3, No. 2, Whole No. 18 with the caption “What Is Happening Here? See p. 14.” Canadian UFO Report described the photo as showing a “bluish bell-jar shaped object” beside the river and a “cluster of gargoyle for...
Randall Nickerson, Aerial Phenomenon documentary film maker, went on Danny Jones podcast in 2024. (Link to podcast) Here are a few interesting snippets taken from podcast on abduction experiences, hearings, and the cryptic "two years away" statement. He mentions how disturbing abductions can be on the abductees and their effects on mental health, and the bravery from the people who came forward in the hearings. The podcast was on 2024 so, two years from then means 2026 or the next... submitte...

Noticed something strange on my way home, I love inbeyeeen a few major highways and hospitals so a med flight isn’t out of the ordinary. The object was hovering for roughly 30 seconds above a cemetery which prompted me to pull over and try for a better look. Checked the flight radar and there was nothing nearby. Video taken at roughly 8:00pm with an iPhone 16 pro max. Also have a short 20 second video of it. Definitely thinking drone but this thing was easily the size of a SUV. Was also silen...
During the summer of 1986, an unidentified professor from the University of Pavia took a sequence of five color photographs. According to a later Sette follow-up, the photographs were taken shortly after sunset while he was finishing experiments involving optical perception of dogs. The professor requested that his identity remain confidential. In Alieni in Italia: 50 anni di incontri ravvicinati, 1945–1995, Moreno Tambellini described the alleged entity as having appeared to the professor in...
So glad that @AlchemyAmerican is covering the 1948 Aztec UFO crash. When it comes to UFO crash retrievals, Aztec became my personal “book encounter”. Hope the wider public learns more about it now. Here are the basic facts. Also, read Sedge Masters 👀. - Craft recovered was intact, except for a broken porthole. It measured 100' in diameter, needed to be taken apart in order to move it due to its size. - Craft remained intact probably due to auto-pilot kicking in after exposure killed the occu...
In 2007, a college biology professor photographed an unidentified humanoid figure during a nighttime research trip near Lake Travis, Texas. The professor was accompanied by one of his students and was reportedly testing the flash on his camera when the photograph was taken. The student appears in the foreground, while a second, unidentified human-shaped figure can be seen farther behind him in the darkness. The photograph later became known as the Lake Travis Humanoid image.
