Night Skies
''Night Skies'' was a science fiction horror film that was in development in the late 1970s, but was never actually made. Steven Spielberg conceived the idea after ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind''. Instead, material developed at the time was used in ''Poltergeist'' and ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial''.〔Grefrath, Richard W. "Review: ''The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made''."

==Origins==
Steven Spielberg came up with the idea for ''Night Skies'' in the late 1970s when Columbia Pictures wanted a sequel to ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind''.〔Sinyard 1987, p. 77.〕 He had no interest in a sequel, but also did not want Columbia to make a sequel without him, as Universal Pictures had done with ''Jaws''. Instead, he came up with a horror film treatment for a ''Close Encounters'' follow-up initially titled ''Watch the Skies'' (which had also been a working title for ''Close Encounters'').〔 Spielberg based the story on the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter, where a Kentucky family claimed that they had been terrorized by gremlin-like aliens. Spielberg had heard the story from UFOlogist J. Allen Hynek while doing research for ''Close Encounters''.
In Spielberg's original treatment for ''Watch the Skies'', eleven malicious extraterrestrial scientists try to communicate with chickens, cows, and other livestock in an attempt to discover which of Earth's animal species are sentient, before turning their unwelcome attentions on the human family and dissecting their farm animals. Fueling Hollywood rumors about the film, NASA announced that Spielberg paid to reserve cargo space for the 1980 inaugural Space Shuttle flight, in order to film the Earth and its Moon from orbit for the film's opening sequence. Spielberg stated that he would produce ''Watch the Skies'' but not direct it, as he was under contract to direct his next film for Universal.
