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 . Source: https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/movies/2024/05/23/664fb19de2704eeb2b8b4578.html.
Has somebody had a word in his ear and told him this particular iron will be
hot to strike at the time?
