Trivia: The film is also widely known as "The McPherson Tape." However, this was never the official title, and is seemingly based on a misconception since the film was often circulated without the title attached in the 90s. Regardless, this incorrect title became so well-known that the film's 2020 Blu-Ray by American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) contains a double-sided cover... one with the correct title "U.F.O. Abduction," and the other with the misnomer title "The McPherson Tape."
U.F.O. Abduction (1989)
Directed by: Dean Alioto
Starring: Patrick Kelley, Shirly McCalla, Stacey Shulman, Tommy Giavocchini
Trivia: For a period of time in the 90s, the film was distributed through bootlegs that had the logos, titles, and credits cut out, often at UFO and paranormal conferences and sci-fi conventions. This led many people to think the footage was real, especially given its extremely low budget and low-quality footage that looks like a real home movie.
