    Looking closely at the model of the alien Mother Ship, one can find tiny hidden smaller models that are not seen in the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." These models were added by the model makers as internal "jokes." This photo features a shark, possibly as a tribute to Steven Spielberg's movie, "Jaws."
