alien

From the Latin word alien, alien it's a adjective which is used to qualify what is alien (that is, it came from outer space to Earth). The concept is often used with reference to supposed living beings that have their origin on other planets.

It is important to note that the science he has not yet been able to verify the existence of extraterrestrial life. Therefore, we do not know if there are indeed alien creatures, or if they have really made contact with our planet as so many stories tell. Many people, based on their beliefs or research not supported by the scientific method, argue that aliens do exist.

Throughout the story, various cases have been raised as evidence of alien life. These are usually filming and photographs showing unidentified flying objects (ufo). Since science cannot determine the origin of UFOs, there are those who claim that they are extraterrestrial vehicles and therefore carry aliens.

On occasion, they have spread images of beings designated as aliens. Even the so-called is famous Roswell case, the record of the alleged fall of a UFO in the American town of Roswell on 1947. Some reports claim that the UFO was an alien spaceship and that aliens were traveling inside.

The mystery that contains the possibility that there are beings on other planets, who share with us certain physical and cultural characteristics, has led many people to invent alien visitation stories, partly driven by their fascination with the subject, but also to take advantage of the media and earn large sums of money through interviews and appearances on television shows.

Most of us don't know for sure if someone has come into contact with beings from other planets, and that's why the illusion lives on in so many restless minds. We do not have the authority to rule out the possibility that the aliens exist, or that they have come to the Land occasionally; for this reason it is important to adopt a respectful stance towards those who believe in them, instead of appealing to teasing or insults.

From the fiction, many aliens have become famous. Movies like ET the alien, the saga Alien, My friend mac, Star Wars Y Avatar, books like Martian Chronicles Y War of the Worlds and TV series like V, Mork & Mindy Y Alf they have aliens as protagonists.

It was written by Melissa Mathison and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Its protagonist, Henry Thomas, who was barely eleven years old at the time, played the role of a child who engages in a deep friendship with an alien, a relationship that even today has much to teach us young and old. The plot contains messages that revolve around compassion, mutual trust, loyalty, and the pain of maturing and detaching loved ones.

On the other hand you will find Alien, a series of films that combine elements of horror and science fiction and that in 1979 changed the audience's perspective of alien life forever.
