No one has been better at satisfying the demands of the modern audience than Steven Spielberg.His exciting and dynamic films worlds weave powerful stories that draw deeply on our collective fears and fantasies. Darren Slade and Nigel Watson take a detailed look at such films as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., Poltergeist, Gremlins and Raiders of the Lost Ark.They show how he uses supernatural themes and beliefs, combined with cinematic technique and technology to create filmic fictions that reflect and fuel our vision of this and other possible worlds. Nigel Watson has researched and investigated historical and contemporary reports of UFO sightings. In collaboration with Granville Oldroyd and David Clarke,he has written several articles about phantom airships seen over Britain in 1909 and 1913. Their comprehensive study of the 1913 airship scare was published by the Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR) in 1988.
