Alien ship lighting concept illustrations hand-painted by George Jenson for Steven Spielberg's sci-fi film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In the iconic finale, the extraterrestrial Mothership descended on Devils Tower, where its passengers chose Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) to join them in space.

These two illustrations were created by production illustrator George Jenson to plan composite shots. Each consists of a photo print of a live-action scene adhered to black illustration board with a clear plastic cel taped over it and a hand-painted illustration of the lighting of the alien vessels. One, labeled M80-2, depicts the Mothership above Devils Tower; the other, labeled M16F-7, depicts a smaller craft passing above Roy and Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon). Both are in good overall condition with some wear from use and age. Dimensions (each): 6.25" x 11" (16 cm x 28 cm)
