Press Release Summary = July 17th marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of one
of America\'s greatest UFO incidents. Filmmaker R. J. Thomas parodies this sighting
in \"The Top Secret UFO Project,\" a tongue-in-cheek spoof of UFO documentaries.


Press Release Body =
On July 17, 1956, Miles Oman, a Colorado farmer with no desire for noteriety,
accidently kicked off one of the most amazing UFO incidents in history. Near
sundown, as he was getting ready to call it a day, this unlikely hero saw a
spaceship zip across the sky over his property. Now, 50 years later, there is just
one question to be asked. Was this a true story or a hoax? Well, it appears to be
authentic history in \"The Top Secret UFO Project,\" filmmaker R. J. Thomas\' parody of
UFO documentaries.

\"I\'ll leave it up to the audience to decide whether it\'s true or not,\" Mr. Thomas
said. \"Some people still believe \'The Blair Witch Project\' is fact, so somebody\'s
bound to believe this one.\"

Based on Mr. Thomas\' 2004 novella of the same name, \"The Top Secret UFO Project\"
chronicles the UFO-related events experienced by Jasper, a tiny Colorado hamlet
south of Denver. According to the film, the town dealt with one unusual event after
another in the summer of 1956. After Mr. Oman spotted the flying saucer on that
fateful evening, scientists rushed into Jasper to investigate, reporters rushed in
looking for stories, and government officials rushed in to keep it a secret from the
world.

Billed as \"the movie the government doesn\'t want you to see,\" \"The Top Secret UFO
Project,\" is a parody of the cheesy UFO documentaries of the 70\'s like \"Overlords of
the UFO\" and TV programs such as \"In Search Of.\"

Mr. Thomas plays a documentary filmmaker who, in 2003, discovered by accident some
top secret government films pertaining to the 1956 Jasper Incident. This inspired
him to make a documentary about Jasper\'s UFO story, and to discover the truth behind
what really happened that mysterious summer in Colorado.

\"It doesn\'t matter whether you believe in UFOs or not,\" Mr. Thomas said. \"Just
about everyone wants to hear a story around the campfire. And UFO stories fit the
bill.\"
