Just watched the Blu Ray ultimate edition of this great film not having seen it for about 20 years!
The Blu Ray disc had three versions on it - original theatrical version, special edition and directors cut - and I watched with interest when it came to the end.
SPOILER
Cheers!

When Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) goes into the mothership at the end, when he is "picked", he disappears from sight. In the special edition we see inside the ship and then in all editions an "alien" emerges and does the hand signal to the French chap and then smiles .....
After the film, my wife and I were discussing it and I thought that this "alien" was Neary as if he had been changed into an alien from human form. My wife disagreed and a lively debate ensued ...... she ended up going to bed
Anyway, wondered what everyone's views on this ending are. I know this is an old film but still relevant today. I have searched on this forum and via google but couldn't find a discussion about this and wondered how everyone else thought the ending was meant to mean.
