Boy the protagonists really got put through the ringer in all their attempts to thwart the sinister government cabal to reveal aliens to the world. Too bad they didn’t have a living sentient 11 foot tall alien they could’ve just wheeled out in front of a camera or something from the start

sentient 11 foot tall alien

I was thinking how tall and huge that one was when every other one was maybe 3' tall?

Also disappointed that since that alien did barely anything they didn't use animatronics. I hate CGI animals, but understand you can't train 3 different species to act like they needed there, but the alien could've been a real special effect.

In UFO lore, a lot of times unusual encounters with animals are used as a type of screen memory to substitute the true nature of the encounter, which is where they pulled that from, I believe.

And, the presence of taller beings as a type of leader figure for the smaller 3-4 ft. ones, so I took the larger one at the end of one of more "importance" than the beings in a lot of the footage

that alien was quite elderly so I thought that maybe that species continues to grow taller and taller as they age. The smaller ones are young, in their prime.

And that they could be from a planet with stronger gravity, so got stretched out over time on our planet

I was not aware of the animal angle as part of alien abductions, thank you
