I found this on another site. The movie is entirely fake and none of the claimed abductions took place.

OKAY, THE TRUTH:

I live in an Eskimo village with the nearest town of any size being Nome. Here are some facts you should know:

1. Nome is a rough, bleak, town in many respects. It has an extremely high percentage of alcoholics and fall down drunks, including many who are 'homeless' and crash at people's houses where they can. Many natives simply show up in Nome on snow machines from Eskimo villages up to 100 miles away in order to drink. Most native Alaskan villages are dry, and drinking in them carry stiff penalties including jail time for simply bringing in a couple bottles of liquor. Many people 'disappear' from their home villages for weeks at a time because they are in Nome on a drunken bender. If in any sense Nome makes people 'disappear', this is it. When walking around in Nome, alcoholism is an obvious noticeable problem that you can observe in daily life.

2. Many native Alaskans have a very low tolerance for alcohol. Furthermore, many natives drinking in Nome have not built up tolerances for alcohol because drinking in their home villages is illegal, and the black market price for a bottle of alcohol is several hundred dollars in their villages.

3. It gets incredibly cold in Nome starting in October and lasting through Spring. You're looking at regular temperatures of -30 to -40 below zero BEFORE the windchill in the middle of winter.

3. Yes, there have been a number of disappearances in Nome over the years. Many have been solved, others have not been.

4. While there are different theories on the unexplained disappearances, none involve aliens. It is generally agreed upon that most of these disappearances are caused by extremely drunk native people with already low tolerances for alcohol attempting to return home to their village or some other place, walking off into the middle of nowhere, passing out, and freezing to death. Since it is extremely cold with drifting snow, their bodies could easily be covered by snow and ice and not discovered. When the spring comes they would be obvious targets for scavenging animals and their remains would be scattered and never found. Additionally, later when the ice melts spots that are solid and traversed most of the year are under water in the late spring and summer, so if someone died of exposure they could be under water when the ice melts and their body would never be found.

It is also possible (but less likely), that someone (or several someone's) over the past years have targeted extremely drunk passed out people to kidnap and rob, and then dropped off their victims somewhere where they will never be found. If foul play is involved, it was likely in order to steal money in order to continue drinking, and has nothing whatsoever to do with aliens.

5. None of the articles posted on the internet about research by this doctor, or any disappearances, or any sleep studies, are real. There were no articles in the Nome Nugget newpaper or other Alaska newpapers with regard to this doctor, sleep problems in Nome, or alien abductions. They are fake articles posted on websites that were only recently registered and were postdated in order to make them seem much older than they are. The websites were registered by people hired by the movie's producers trying to promote the movie. They are attempting to fool people into believing that this movie is based on some true story in Nome, when there is none.

6. Visit Nome for yourself. You might find it very 'alienating' to you. It's a bleak town of 3,500 people. It has lots of bars, lots of falldown drunks. It has lots of transient visitors in town to imbibe adult beverages. It also has lots of people not sleeping normally, but that has everything to do with people being up all night drinking (and the lack of legal drinking in other surrounding villages) and nothing to do with aliens.

based on actual events or true events is a very sketchy way that film makers like to get asses into the seats. . .now, technically you can't say based on true events if there are no truth to the events being talked about. . .we still have some truth in advertising laws out there. . .so, what alot of filmmakers do is use a name of a real person who has done something, and then they embelish the story. . .this doctor, from what i gatherered, is a real doctor, who has done some sleep studies. . .now, she may or may not have done sleep studies in nome alaska or in burbank california for all it matters. . .some of the results of those sleep studies could have indicated alien abduction, which isn't unusual because regression therapists create many abduction cases and abuse cases each year by ****ing with others while they're in a suggestive state. . .so you take a real doctor, who did some sleep study somewhere, you tie in the fact that nome alaska has actually had a couple disappearances over the years (could be wandering drunken inuits, could be foul play), then you throw aliens on top of it, and you get a story based on actual events. . .not necessarily the way they occurred in real life, but based off of events that have occurred, and they don't even have to be related. . .
