    It's a psychic connection which is one of ET's alien powers. It's why Elliott gets sick later when ET does. I'm not sure what else to write in the answer, really, which is why it's a comment. ;) (This is touched upon in this question over at Sci-Fi.) Commented Jul 27, 2015 at 10:49

    I think the question is when or why that connection happens, and why doesn't it happen to anyone else? Didn't ET save/revive Elliott at some point? It's been years since I've seen it. Commented Jul 27, 2015 at 17:48
