In the mid 1950s buckets of courage would have been required for a movie producer to depict "flying saucers" as something other than fodder for science fiction fans, but that's exactly what the production team of Clarence Greene and Russell Rouse -- and particularly Greene -- accomplished when they brought a very serious side of the UFO issue to the silver screen. These days, their self-described documentary motion picture might instead be called a docu-drama, but no matter what one calls the feature, it was all business. Unfortunately, Greene's public plea for the world's people to face the UFO issue in deadly earnest often failed to arouse the typical theater audience because it lacked the "Hollywood touch," concerning itself a little too much with facts and not enough with demanding lively action among the mostly non-professional actors. Nevertheless, history should and must find a prominent place for this oddly unique motion picture, the two apparently legitimate Montana and Utah UFO films included within it, and the important historical period it brought to the silver screen way back in 1956.
