I found this yesterday. It is presented by Twilight Zone creator and writer Rod Serling, the legend himself. Featuring Burgess Meredith and Jose Ferrer as narrators, and interviews with Jacques Vallee and J Allen Hynek, this is classic seventies hair of the chest stuff. When people on television were real and not shills. With a line up like that I was hardly going to say no. The seventies presentation is splendid for those who like me have a weakness for the era's self-indulgent opulence and analogue lo-tech charm. I keep expecting a Cinzano advert featuring Joan Collins.

Nothing groundshaking, but a good honest exploration with a lot of charm for fans of the era. I was born in 1974 and television from this era was just more honest and intelligent, and the presentation had more sublety. And in this case far more content than the majority of docs I've seen. There are some excellent ufo pics and some superb artist impressions of hypothetical beings. Don't you just hate freakin transmogs, the lying deceitful little scuttlers... :mad:

Anyway, here's the link. Spark up a Cuban and enjoy a vintage doc!! :cool2:

Hi there,

The film isn't there anymore (Feb 20th, 2011). There's an error message something about third parties and copyright ....
Maybe it could be out on dvd??
Cheers
