Close Encounters of the Third Kind Scene 12 Summary

  • In Dharmsala, India, Lacombe and the other researchers arrive to a chaotic scene. Crowds of people are running through the streets, and others, including Jerry Garcia (really), are sitting and reverently chanting 5 musical notes. Hint: It's not "Sugar Magnolia."
  • Lacombe asks about where the sounds came from. A man addresses the group in Hindi to ask them, and all of the hands shoot up and point toward the sky.
  • Apparently, they didn't just come from a Grateful Dead concert.
