Documenting the Incredible

Though recent congressional hearings regarding UFOs have at last added respectability to a subject long derided by government decree, a semi-documentary motion picture barely remembered from the fifties had laid out the evidence decades before official Washington publicly stuck a fork into the phenomenon to see if it was done.  It was not.  The UFO, UAP or an enigma rose by any other name is still very much here and "out there."

Are you curious about the movie and its background?  Do you wonder why a UFO documentary focusing upon famous UFO reports from the forties, and particularly the fifties was produced at all?  Are you inquisitive regarding U.S. government concerns about a phenomenon tracked both visually and on radar? Then the contents of this blog are for you.  Blogs being what they are, you need to go back in time and advance forward chronologically to gain the best perspective.  You can and really should begin with the very first entry right here:

I hope you find your visit rewarding and, like myself and others intrigued by UFOs, walk away knowing why this old film glows with historical significance, despite a few bumps here and there along the way.

The U.S. government became surprisingly open about this subject in 2021, but new reports issued by an allegedly new and improved government investigation in 2024 remind one of older days when denial based upon shoddy and lacking research was all the rage.  As usual, significant UFO evidence was largely ignored.  That's one reason why I remain so glad that the 1956 motion picture remains as testimonial to an ongoing truth -- that UFOs are real and worth investigating. -- Robert Barrow
