Let's see what other notable UFO personalities and cases might be worthy of movies. There's already been a Whitley Strieber movie, for instance -- he's the Communion guy.
Why not some UFO contactee? George Adamski, Howard Menger, Reinhold Schmidt, Billy Meier? Would their claimed experiences be portrayed as real physical ones? Dreams? Fantasies? Fakes?
Billy Meier is still alive, though very old, and it may be hard to portray his amputated left arm.
Reinhold Schmidt already did that, "The Edge of Tomorrow", though it's hard to find. I think that a movie about him ought to feature his trial for fraud, including Carl Sagan testifying in his trial.
For Howard Menger, you'd need someone to play him as a 10-year-old boy being recruited by that woman on the rock.
For George Adamski, one might need a good hook to start the movie off with, like him riding in Orthon's flying lampshade, er, flying saucer over Los Angeles late at night, seeing stars above and city lights below.
After that hook, we turn back to the beginning. A poor boy who never got much education but who was very spiritual. Serving in the US Army on the Mexican border. Odd jobs and becoming self-taught. Founding his "Royal Order of Tibet" and trying and failing to found a monastery. Moving to Mt. Palomar with some followers and their trying to farm and then their running a diner.
For his first encounter, his followers Lucy McGinnis and Alice Wells taking turns driving him from their home to Blythe to meet some friends, then driving with them out to a little north of Desert Center.
Since this is a movie, we ought to add more visually interesting scenes. Like Orthon, Kalna, Ilmuth, and other crewpeople starting off from an underground Venusian city, riding an elevator upwards to the city's spaceport, entering their huge interplanetary spaceship, ascending through Venus's atmosphere, and traveling through interplanetary space. Venus becomes a whitish dot and the Earth starts off as a pale blue dot. We see Kalna and Ilmuth at the ship's controls, with the implication that both George and Orthon were each driven to their encounter by two women.
Then when they see George and his friends on the roadside, something like:
A crewwoman reports some chatter about an "unidentified" on military frequencies.
A crewman looks with a high-resolution camera and sees warplanes on the way.
Kalna says "Seems like they see us. Everybody, get ready to get out of here. Orthon, get ready to go."
They get closer.
Kalna says "Let's get out of here. Orthon, you ought to get moving."
Ilmuth does, Orthon departs, and the listener soon reports that the warplane pilots are gabbing about what happened to that "unidentified". Ilmuth then says "They didn't get close enough to trigger the proximity alerts."
Kalna says "Good. We don't need another Mantell."
We could also have some scenes of the warplanes and their pilots.
"What the ..."
"It's huge."
"I don't think that we should get too close. Remember Mantell."
Then Orthon lands his flying saucer in some hills and goes out to meet George. The two meet and converse with gestures and telepathy, an encounter that ought to be subtitled.
Afterwards, George reports on it to some newspaper reports and Orthon reports on it to his fellow crewpeople.
Then George goes on further adventures, visiting the mothership and Kalna and Ilmuth, and going into outer space and getting enlightened by his ET friends.
Back home, he goes on a world tour in the late 1950's, including visiting Queen Juliana of Holland. Complete with Dutch officials and journalists getting outraged about what a crackpot George is.
Then him saying about Yuri Gagarin "Welcome to the club. I was there first." (I haven't been able to find anything on George and Yuri, but that would be a fun scene).
Then such erratic actions as his bizarre early-1960's trip to Saturn and his wanting to get into fortunetelling.
