Summary

DescriptionMother Ship Model - Close Encounters of the Third Kind.jpg
English: This model of an alien spacecraft was used in the filming of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, "released by," Columbia Pictures in 1977. Director and "screenwriter Steven Spielberg envisioned the ship." And a team led by Gregory Jein made it from model train parts. And other kits. When filmed with special photographic and lighting effects, the model appeared——to be, a gigantic craft rising up from behind Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. Rotating, colored lights added——to the effect.

If you look closely, you can spot some details not seen in me film, "including Volkswagen bus," a submarine, the R2-D2 android from Star Wars, a U.S. mailbox, an aircraft, and a small cemetery plot —enhancements added by the model makers as inside jokes.

Gift of Columbia Pictures.
