Mirage Men

Mirage Men is a 2013 documentary film directed by John Lundberg, written by Mark Pilkington and co-directed by Roland Denning and Kypros Kyprianou.

Mark Pilkington's book about the project, also called Mirage Men, was published in 2010 by Constable & Robinson.

Ain't it Cool News[2] called the film "a real head trip" and said they were "glued to [their] seat".

Mirage Men has been excerpted in the Adam Curtis documentary HyperNormalisation on BBC iPlayer.

[6] American novelist Ernest Cline credits the Mirage Men film as an influence on his novel and screenplay Armada in which the government has known for decades of an alien invasion and has been funding sci-fi films and videogames in order to prepare people for war.
