Forty years after Close Encounters of the Third Kind first descended out of the sky, Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed sci-fi film is returning to theaters...

Taking cues from the movie’s title, the two-and-a-half minute video demonstrates the three types of UFO close encounters: The first kind involves a sighting, as when electrical worker Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) and single mother Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon) witness a startling flyover.

The second kind is denoted by physical evidence, such as the facial burn Roy receives from a flying saucer’s bright lights. Needless to say, the third kind of close encounter — direct contact with extraterrestrials — has even greater consequences.
