CEIII + TL
As some of you know, the French scientist Claude LaCombe (François Truffaut) in Close Encounters of the Third Kind was based on Boing Boing writer David Pescovitz's friend, and mine too, Jacques Vallée.

Today, David points to this magnifique deleted scene from the film that says some things about twilight language:
David Laughlin (Bob Balaban). Name game note: Laughlin, Nevada, in the extreme southern tip of the state, has become a modern focal meeting point for ufology conferences, anomalistic gatherings, and Area 51 researchers.
See here for more from David on what special phrase shows up in CEIII that is, indeed, so very Vallée.
Thanks also to Patrick Huyghe of Anomalist Books for bringing this to my attention.
