Earth to Echo is a sci-fi flick that has been set to make its on-screen debut this week. It talks about an adventure that is quite reminiscent of the 80s film "E.T."
Earth to Echo features three young children who are about to move away from one another. To make their last day of seeing each other, they decided to embark on one last adventure. The movie's director, Dave Green, said, "There was a tone to those movies that we loved. That we hadn't seen in a while and that we were excited about."
In the middle part of the Earth to Echo story, the three children get a very strange signal on their mobile phones. Surprisingly, they are able to track down wherever the signal came from. The soon discovered that the source of the signal was a small alien that was named Echo. Once they met Echo, the adventure that the kids had been seeking ensues.
Their adventures were filmed in a "found footage". One of the children, who was a video enthusiast, decided to put the video clips together.
Since Earth to Echo is a movie of science fiction, and this subject matter takes a lot of liberties from real science, it is only imperative that an expert on the subject is inquired about the issue indicated in the film.
Seth Shostak, SETI Institute's senior astronomer, was asked about whether or not aliens, such as the character in Earth to Echo, could really tap into the signals of today's cellular phones. He said, "It depends on how clever they are, and whether they're machines or aliens. They might have sensors and sample the environment, sense magnetic fields, etc. if it's good at sensing things, it might see all the carrier waves and radio waves that are in the air. Put that together with a computer, and it might be able to figure out. After all, if the military can do it, maybe Echo can, too."
