The Fourth Kind is a 2009 American science fiction psychological thriller film directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. It purports to be based on real events in Nome, Alaska, where a psychologist investigates a series of mysterious disappearances and alien abductions. The film uses a "found footage" style, blending dramatizations with alleged archival footage to enhance its unsettling atmosphere.
I saw that movie, The Fourth Kind, when I was in middle school.
""The movie is mentioned by the speaker as another film about alien abductions, specifically noting that it scared them in middle school and relates to the "fourth kind" classification of encounters."
