Reception
Critical reception for the documentary has been positive. Twitch Film said the film was "Scary, unsettling" and "offered profound food for thought". Electric Sheep magazine[5] called it "one of the must see documentaries of the year". Ain't it Cool News[3] called the film "a real head trip" and said they were "glued to [their] seat".
Influence
Mirage Men has been excerpted in the Adam Curtis documentary HyperNormalisation on BBC iPlayer.[6]
American novelist Ernest Cline credits the Mirage Men film as an influence on his novel and screenplay Armada in which the government has known for decades of an alien invasion and has been funding sci-fi films and videogames in order to prepare people for war.[7]
