The Movistar Plus+ series focuses on the role the media plays in spreading Ummo’s messages, something that completely captures the imagination
Come on, don’t be alarmed by the title of the column, we have enough already. It’s all fiction (or is it?). At this past Sitges Festival we had the opportunity to watch the first of three episodes of ‘Ummo. La España alienígena’, a non-fiction miniseries from Movistar Plus+, announced for November 14, already promoting the platform. Many of you have probably heard of the planet Ummo. That caused quite a stir in the Spanish press of the 1960s and 1970s. As a result of an alleged UFO that appeared in the city of San José de Valderas in Madrid, a series of people claimed to be receiving messages from an alien civilization on a planet called Ummo. , with many Ummites already living among us to study us as guinea pigs. In a country constrained by censorship, there were no barriers to talking about Ummo, and of course there was talk and talk.
The Movistar Plus+ series focuses mainly on the role that the media play in spreading Ummo’s messages, something that completely captures the imagination. The first chapter showed how the phenomenon came about and those responsible, those who made the excellent documentary series ‘Palomares’, provided some surprises. In fact, the Ummo case was eventually investigated by the police and turned into a massive fraud, even though the Transition had already arrived by then and there were more important things to sort out. After the screening of Sitges, a group of troublemakers appeared and claimed in a statement that everything related to Ummo was copyrighted and that they were the owners. My God, aliens who have discovered capitalism and Earth’s legal tricks. Where are we going to stop?
