Maybe they just can't remember where they hid the diamonds!?

Or what happened to the cop that was lying, bleeding in an alleyway somewhere in the city?

I don't think the UFO's are extra-terrestial, I think they are extra-temporal. They are from the future. And they are looking for Sarah Connor. And they arent particular whether its the right one or not.

No problem Ubik! They'll just send Kyle Reese in to save Sarah. Or at least, the one the Terminator is truly looking for.

Then there was the guy in WWI in the allies line who was shot, and lost all memory of english. But he picked up fluid french, and warned of a plague that would wipe out 5 billion people in about a century. Then he dissapeared.

Apparently he showed up in a mental hospital in the 90's with a fresh bullet wound in his leg, and when they removed the bullet it turned out to be a WWI antique. Then he dissapeared again, from a locked room, no less.

Even the aliens go to Las Vegas. How do think they came up with

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas as they started acting like us so much that they may not be allowed back on their home world. An dancing is not allowed on their planet.

One of my favourite time travel movies.  Maybe #2 only to Primer.

I have called them regarding this, Royal Bishop and have confirmed that you are right. However, I heard of the option of shapeshifting, or possibly getting a lyconthropy infection, in an effort to avoid detection, should they ever choose to go back home. Where one learns how to shapeshift, to me, is a complete mystery. Perhaps Irontiger or Ubik know how.

Interesting saucer design. Having some experience with flying small planes (with low and high wings) I am going to say their view of the ground will suck. Especially that poor passenger. 

A good thing those predictions didnt come true; just imagine all the cars you see on the highway instead flying over the city.

Well the aliens did come back when they had a sale

Cash for Gold, think you will never see so many happy aliens.

Ok I have never heard of that movie, but just looked it up on wiki. Gonna check it out (I avoided any details).

Ahem, that was a Canadian Aerospace company, comissioned by the US government.

ahhh... I also watched that film (Primer), but I don't remember having understood it quite well, it was some years ago, the year it was released I got it from the videoclub

Well the aliens have found the new Dodge interesting as they see how our females love it and females on their planet are jealous as the men keep flying around in the same style since the days of Moses.

Another odd little incongruity, while we're on the subject of saucers.

Turns out the original saucer sighting, the Kenneth Arnold UFO Sighting, the "saucer" part was a misrepresentation of what he reported.  He saw crescent shaped objects that moved like a saucer skipping across water would.  Saucer was used to describe the movement, not the shape.

Very curious that the aliens would go on to almost immediately adapt their designs to conform to what we thought we heard from that first sighting and that a sudden influx of saucer sightings would show up in the immediate aftermath.

off-topic???? why????

Warning: Primer requires multiple viewings to wrap your head around what's going on.

Ubik42

Very clever, those aliens.

Is it going to take more viewings than "Mulholland Drive"?

Actually, thats an open question, since I still havent seen it enough times to figure it out. 

TheGrobe

No, it's at least possible to understand Primer.
