Maybe Aliens

A down-on-his-luck astronomer, convinced he's made contact with extraterrestrial life, embarks on a zany road trip across the American Southwest to prove his theory. Along the way, he encounters a quirky conspiracy theorist, a skeptical documentary filmmaker, and a series of increasingly bizarre events that blur the line between cosmic truth and delusion.
