Squarespace UFO Ad

 

Every so often something appears in mainstream entertainment that reveals just how far a recent concept has advanced into culture and collective psychology. Squarespace is one of the world's most popular web design and hosting services. It is worth over a billion dollars and has advertised at major sporting events and cinema awards. Therefore when they produced a new TV advert with an alien theme I was astounded. This is no ordinary advert either; it is directed by Martin Scorsese who is a famous feature film creator, best known for such classics as The Colour of Money, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. I doubt if he'd be cheap to hire. This advert is one of those almost like a mini-movie. It has a title, Hello Down There. It is one minute thirty-six seconds long and begins with a series of shots from TV news reports about UFO's. They begin with a dated one showing a young boy in a 1940's lounge watching a science fiction film followed by some news spots through the ages from Walter Kronkite's 1966 programme to recent clips of crop circles followed by the hearings in Mexico and the United States. It features the gimbal UAP footage. The second scene is a busy city street where people are walking along looking at their mobile phones while flying saucers swoop low overhead like in an alien invasion film. The people don't notice because they are totally engrossed with their phones. One woman chuckles at a video of a cat playing with toilet paper, others are having a picnic in a park beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris. An elderly couple are sitting in an American diner reading about recipes; and only their dog outside takes notice of the ET spacecraft. In China some business executives in a boardroom are totally focused on their computer displays. The aliens are baffled by the indifference of humanity to their presence. They even extend a tool that knocks on the window of the boardroom, but to no avail. They gesture in frustration until the idea occurs to them to build their own Squarespace website which then appears on the humans' devices and therefore finally alerts them to the extraterrestrial presence. It's a simple page that shows them waving and the words "Hello down there." Finally the humans' reverie is broken and they look up to notice the aliens. The final shot is of the director himself in a chauffeur driven car. The ad ends with the slogan "A website makes it real". Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp5v3-3Hc-E.
 
There are all kinds of commentary we could make about this TV advert, about how the population are distracted and fed disinformation using modern portable media, but I shall stick to the UFOlogical elements for the purposes of this article. The idea of alien contact and the post-2017 advancements in the subject are obviously far more engrained than I thought. A major IT giant has decided it is so popular that it can form the basis of a major marketing campaign. This is not the only example I've found; see others in the links below. This is a very good thing. Nobody can pretend that UFO's and aliens are confined to the realm of lunacy and frivolity. This has come at a time when Stephen Spielberg has just announced that he is making a new UFO movie. He has done so before, of course, with his masterpieces Close Encounters of the Third Kind and ET- The Extraterrestrial, but that was early in his career; and he stated in 1997 that he had lost his interest in UFO's and would never make another movie about them. He has since changed his mind. Contrary to normal marketing practice, the film has been given a release date even before the title has been revealed, August 15, 2026.
