It was good to see the occasional newspaper article focusing upon key personnel other than Clarence Greene or Tom Towers. In this collection, American Airlines pilot Willis Sperry and former Project Blue Book chief Edward Ruppelt receive prominent mention. We also find something we haven't seen in newsprint before: A specific instance where a theater's advertisement for the movie involved painting flying saucer images all over the street. Apparently, finding a guaranteed method to scrub away the images days later was difficult until the time-tested method of mixing boys, hot water and wire brushes was organized, kind of like a reverse (Mark Twain's) Tom Sawyer scene about whitewash and a fence.
