American idol intro: UFO and Pyramid symbology

I am a graphic artist and have always been interested in show intro sequences for the design aspect of it. However, I thought the American Idol intro was particularly weird, especially because it seems to be ufo themed or sci-fi at the very least. It's just kind of strange for a show about singing.

So, the ufo (my cousin says it's a wormhole or portal to another dimension) seems to shoot a red laser beam towards the center of a building (not sure if it's a hexagon or octagon) into what looks like an empty metallic pyramid structure. The Pyramid receives the beam and closes, only to open seconds later and reveal a blond man in a suit who I guess is the next american idol (or the next antichrist for all I care). Then the intro ends.

I don't really understand why a show like American idol would need to incorporate ufo and esoteric themes and symbols in their intros but I just might be looking too much into it.

I know it's out there but please be nice, it's my first thread.

Thank you!! that was very nice of you. Noob mistake!

Well hello there , you seem to have picked a nice and easy thread to start your self off, so here we go, puff the magic dragon.....

They always praise the enlightened one, its their duty to do so. As for the ufo, it attracts the fringe side of the world not that many would pick it up as the color scheme coupled with lighting and sound tend to hypnotize the viewer into a vegetable state and without him knowing it, he*she becomes fixated while receiving subliminal messages that direct the viewers to participate in what ever they see fit.

The Neurophone was developed by Dr Patrick Flanagan in 1958. It's a device that converts sound to electrical impulses. In its original form electrodes were placed on the skin but with defence department developments, the signals can be delivered via satellite. They then travel the nervous system directly to the brain (bypassing normal hearing mechanisms). Dr Flanagan's "3D holographic sound system" can place sounds in any location as perceived by the targeted / tortured listener. This allows for a variety of deceptions for gullible victims.

Today, the CIA, DIA (etc) use satellites and ground - based equipment to deliver verbal threats, deafening noise and propaganda; using neurophone technology. Anything from TV's/radio's appearing to operate when switched off through to "Voices from God" and encounters with "telepathic" aliens are all cons using neurophone technologies to torment, deceive and (most importantly) discredit agency/criminal targets. Naturally, the system can mimic anyone's voice and automatic computer translations (into any language) are incorporated.

its out there and its not human.

I'm familiar with the American Idol theme song, so I watched the video without sound. My impression of the graphics is that it looks like a better version of Star Trek's "beam me up Scotty."

You, the viewer are transported to another dimension of "sight and sound," while the contestants are transferred to a surreal dimension of fame and fortune.
