Besides the Galaxy Quest reference, isn't the Thermian an electronic musical instrument, related to IF section of old superhetrodyne AM radios?

That had brought me to this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzRb1OVpat0 The Day the Earth Stood Still theremin studio session, and one of the comments, "i wonder if a theremin can make the WOOO-WEEEEE-WOOOO noise we so commonly associate with aliens..." had me wondering, what movie did that stereotypical music/sound come from?

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Thanks for that!  I've been a Herrmann fan for many, many years.
