A No this is not real. Although when it originally aired in the United States in 1998 on the now defunct UPN Network, it was broadcast as being real (similar to the way the Orson Welles version of "War of the Worlds" was aired as being real).However, given an extensive cast list, including those of the "aliens", numerous technical errors, plot holes, an obviously fake 555 number at the end, communications with the director etc. has provided sufficient evidence to pass this video off as just a movie.
