I just watched that new Sci-Fi movie The Fourth Kind...?

Me and my husband and our 2 friends just finished watching "The Fourth Kind" and we really got into it... but now we are really seriously wondering if it's all true and if all the "actual footage" that they showed on the movie is actually true? Also, we wanna know a website or something that we could go to to see like newspaper articles and the "actual footage" and all that...

No the whole movie was completely fabricated, and fictional. Nothing was real. It doesn't make it any less of a good movie though.

"The film's trailer states that the story is based on "actual case studies," but did not specify any cases. As a result, much speculation has arisen regarding the search for documented evidence from the actual cases and whether Dr. Abigail Tyler is a real person or a fictional character for use in an internet viral marketing campaign.

On September 1, 2009, an investigation by the Anchorage Daily News examined the validity of the film's premise, and its relation to actual disappearances that have occurred in and around the town of Nome. The investigation found no specific events to back up the claims in the film and also revealed that unsolved deaths in Nome are no more frequent than any other small Alaskan town. The consensus is that the high rate of alcoholism combined with the harsh landscape surrounding Nome accounts for a majority of disappearances (just as in other remote areas).

On November 12, 2009 Universal Pictures agreed to a $20,000 settlement with the Alaska Press Club "to settle complaints about fake news archives used to promote the movie." Universal acknowledged that they created fake online news articles and obituaries to make it appear that the movie had a basis in real events."
