Subject: Spielberg's Black Triangular UFO?


Lo and behold, I'm sitting here watching the 'Director's
Edition' of 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind'.

It's a two-disc DVD with a 'Making Of' documentary on the second
disc.

What caught my ear was director Spielberg's discussing the
original design of the mother ship seen at the film's climax.
What suprised me was that according to Spielberg, the original
design was of a massive black triangular shape for the ship.

Since the film debuted in late 1977 I figured that design
concept may have been done or discussed far earlier in '76 or
'75 yet the black triangle phenomenon hadn't hit the mainstream
til the mid to late '80's.

Anyone else catch this tidbit or look into it?


Best,

Greg
