    I enjoyed this 2018 movie. It's about a UFO sighting at an airport that the government investigates, and then tries to cover up (as is usual procedure for all credible sightings). However, a local college math prodigy digs into it and finds evidence that the sighting was real and that the UFO will return soon. Then the government does everything it can to find out what he knows. Great acting from David Strathairn, Gillian Anderson, and Alex Sharp as the math prodigy.

    UFO's foundation is a solid script and acting, but it's a little short on action. For a movie that revolves around math and math equations, it's pretty entertaining.
