Is the "FOURTH KIND" movie based on actual events or just Hollywood script?

I watched itin theaters a while back when it first came out, I just rented it again last night.

Is this movie based on something that actually happened or does it saying that it is just part of the script (like blair witch) or similar movies?

Does Dr. Abigail Tyler actually exist?

Update:

I know what the movie said " that names have been changed etc.)

Site some proof if its real (links, etc.)

    Total work of fiction.

    As a matter of fact, Universal Pictures was sued(and Universal Pictures lost the suit) for planting false websites purporting to be news archives of the "real events" in "The Fourth Kind".

    Nome, Alaska has no more cases of missing people than any other remote locality in the world.

    Well, because movies are not real, and are only a portrait of a story, you must bare with me. A good movie about war would be "Troy" which is based off of the story of the Trojan War. The main character of the movie is Achilles, who fights a bloody battle against his rival Hector. The motive of the kingdoms is mainly for the belief that the Gods wanted them to conquer the lands. A great song dedicated to the story and its parts is "Achilles, Agony and Ecstacy" by Manowar. Check it out on Youtube

    It's based on true events, but it isn't line by line true. It's like the texas chainsaw massacre, there really isn't a leather faced man running around texas with a chainsaw. He's simply a character made up by many similar characters like Hannibal lecter. That being said, SOME of the video footage is real, but only when it states "ACTUAL VIDEO" or "Actual Audio" if it isn't there which 80% of the movie it isn't it isn't real.

    *EDIT*

    Its funny how those who give thumbs down want to believe it's fake because they're little B*tches who can't handle a horror film so they make believe it's fake so they can sleep at night a little better. Keep telling yourselves that you P*ssys.

    AS I SAID, Based on Stories told, and reported as quoted in the movie... Over 11 million people say they have seen UFO's or alien life, how could all of those 11 million people be wrong? there must be a least 1 sane person. Have fun sleeping well now you dumb F*cks

    And those who say " I searched her name, and i cant find anything it must be fake" they changed the name for the movie dumb Sh*ts

    EDIT

    The names are unknown therefore I can;t site it, they change names for reasons. Its illegal to post "actual Video" when it isn't.

    It's fake. Though there are many unsolved disappearances in Nome, they are mostly attributed to alcoholism and the cold climate.
