  • I am 45 years old, and remember seeing the opening 15 seconds of this on TV. I was so pleasantly shocked I can't begin to describe it. This show would compete on 2 different channels with Batman. That means fights with my brother. I was about 4 or 5 but the next time the episode ran the butchered the hell out of it. They did not show the flames, it was launch then space. Still hate them for it. WNEW ch 5 NY before the FOX network.

  • dr smith at the wheel

  • Did you make the scene at 0:40 yourself? I don't recognize it.

  • I agree the movies lost that magic that scale models bring ... Everything is stupid cgi . Look at the part when the Jupiter 2 is crossing thru the red cloud bank , especially when that is real flame .... So fucking cool ! Hollywood needs to get their head out of their ass and make movies far memorable in the final scene than having some geek paint scenes digitally .

  • It's sad that the Jupiter 2 got lost in space.

  • The Jupiter 2 was cool, even with the picture windows. And it had the coolest engine sounds of any space ship on TV. The descent to the first planet has the best effects of the period, it looked absolutely real. The Engine noise when leaving the derelict space ship is by far the coolest. Way better than Star Trek.

  • For the comment below about using CG images, not so! Today's movies using CG are starting to look cheesy etc, the movie 2012  with all it's hip and glory in my opinion " SUCK " royal! Hell, some of the live action didn't match appropriately with the CG Images and there is more movies I can't think of at the moment of writing this.

    Movies using large scale models and done right look way more realistic then CGs!

  • Recall J2's orig. task -- to get to A. Centauri with the crew in hypersleep (Robot: inactive). Once there, they'd orbit a likely-looking planet, gathering data, then set down and spend most of their time exploring/mapping outside the ship -- hence the force field, Chariot, weather statyion, and all that camping gear they carried. J2 was never meant to host six people -- let along a stowaway, too -- for an extended period. It'd be like taking a 4-seat coupe instead of an SUV across the US.

  • Jupiter 2 ANYDAY over the Enterprise...Such a COOL ship!

  • LOL, the exact same sound the batmobile makes when it starts up!

  • What I couldn't figure out is why it was bigger on the inside than on the outside. Where did they keep the chariot, or the pod? What about that huge fusion reactor room? How did they fit all of that stuff in that little ship?

  • @kurtb8474 they modeled it on the tardis

  • @kurtb8474 I had the same thoughts. It seems almost like the producers of the show didn't have any sense of scale. But hey, it was fun to watch anyway:)

  • @kurtb8474 The CHARIOT was kept dissasembled whilst aboard ship, it had to be ASSEMBLED as Major Don West stated in the 3rd episode ISLAND IN THE SKY. The Space Pod was built during the course of the second year on a different alien planet. The main drive was similar to Professor John Searl's SEG, and is at the bottom of the ship. SEG is the main drive, power-unit, and onboard artificial gravity generator.

  • @kurtb8474 You ask too many questions. That takes all the fun out of it! The only time it ever bothered me was in the episode, Space Creature, where a THIRD level was revealed for the first time. NO WAY, NO HOW! The episode should have been rewritten to where the climax takes place in an existing part of the ship.

  • @danzamphi LOL! You're right! Asking too many questions usually generates some great answers.

  • thx! always liked lost in space. Question comes to mind though---someone must have goofed. When they landed in the few first episodes it sounded like a crash. yet at the end of the 1st season the landing gear can be seen going up as they leave the planet as its breaking up. Go figure that one.

  • I liked the show when I was a kid but even then I wondered how the J2 could crash land on most planets w/o a scratch on it.

  • @nenzi671 They built'em to take a beating back then! ;-)

  • Well finally! Flying saucer footage which appears to be authentic and unaltered. If you look closely in one of the clips you can see a green women floating outside the window of the craft. I used my audio enhancer and found she seemed to be saying " Dr. Smith. Oh Smithie!" Also I heard an ominous warning of danger. Who is Will Robinson?

  • Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. American made UFO! Ha! Ha!

    Yea buddy!

  • gotta love the super advanced ship lacking any kind of landing gear.

  • it does have landing gear what you were watching were the crash landing sequences!!

  • Have you ever watched LOST IN SPACE? I've loved it since the pilot episode in 1965.

  • Ah, the j2. One of my favorite space vehicles of all time!

  • Please go to : Theyfly(dot)com

  • In the original GOJIRA (1954), and GODZILLA (1956, with Raymond Burr), the sound of the OXYGEN DESTROYER was made with Violins. THe Japanes sound engineers were/are world-class.

  • 1:18.........love the flying saucer noise it makes!!!!! Wonder how they made it? Theremins and Moogs or something I bet........

  • From the 20th century Fox sound Library. Look at the movie FANTASTIC VOYAGE. The Jupiter II antigravity-engine combines the sound of the MINIATURISER from that movie, plus a "cosmic-wind" sound. One of my favorite sounds, next to Godzilla's screeching-bass roar!

  • Thanks, for the informed info.....it still begs the question of how the Fox sound Library made the orig sounds in the first place. PS I remember reading once that Godzillas roar is partly made of a slowed down baby crying LOL!!!! mixed with a bunch of other things (a motorcycle engine was one of em I think if I remember correctly). Anyway....I hope real antigravity will sound like this LOL!! If not I'll be disapointed LOL!!!

  • They recorded motors and machines with microphones, sped up, slowed down, etc. Godzilla's roar was made with a heavy-leather glove rubbing down the strings of a Contrabass. You can get some really cool sounds out of a Contrabass, even seagull-sounds, etc. I have loved Godzilla since 1965, and I have every Godzilla movie ever made on DVD. Fox studios had the incredible talents of Oscar winner LB Abbott, and Howard and Theodore Lydecker, and Bill Hammeras on camera. Irwin Allen was the MAN.

  • A contrabass huh? Maybe the story of the slowed down baby cry was just an urban legend....I dunno...I did read it somewhere..but I can remember where so I wont argue that it was a credible source! Thanks again....Im gonna look into contrabasses they sound cool!

  • Read GFAN magazine, which I've read for over 15-years. Google: Eiji Tsuburaya, and Tomoyuki Tanaka.

  • Ral articicial gravity, or ELECTROGRAVITY, is totally silent. Sorry to dissappoint. The Plejaran Beamships make a cool and very loud sound however, when the shields that normally surround the craft are deactivated, and the air comes in contact with the rotating and vibrating parts of the ship. Search BEAMSHIP SOUNDS, on youtube, Impossible to duplicate even with today's oscillators, and they were recorded in 1976!

  • Yeah....actually Im familiar with the whole electrogravitic thing.....Ive even built a lifter myself...I was just being silly when I said I hoped it sounded like the Jupiter 2 LOL!!!

    Not sure I buy the whol Billy Meier story..but thanks none the less for the info I try to keep an open mind. I DO believe in antigravity devices...actually Ive been looking into the subject myself, hence me building lifters...etc. I'm currently trying to come up with something a bit more like TTBrowns original exp

  • Search: BEAMSHIP SOUNDS, on youtube. That engine sounds more like the C57D starship from FORBIDDEN PLANET (MGM,1956).

  • Yeah I checked it out before.....Im no expert on what is or was possible to be duplicated as far as sound goes so whether or not I think it sounds possible to hoax or not has no bearing.....But my field is in video and film....& though Ive seen many credible UFO vids.....Meiers vids were not among them....they looked very fake to me, sorry.

  • The Engineers and techs at Industrial Light and Magic, and Digital Domain have deemed the photos, film and videotape as unreproducible, AND all attempts at reproducing the orifinal filmic and photographic evidence has failed. Even the great Randi has conceded the case as genuine, and 30-year old and modern computer and photometric analysis has confrimed the veracity of the evidence, and Marcel Vogel analyzed the Beamship metal-sample. The computers verified what the witness said.

  • well then.....and please dont take this challenge as a sign of hostility it is not meant to be. I would geniunly like you to find me a qoute where James Randi admited that the case was geniune. I can pretty much gaurentee that never happened. Plus every film ive ever seen I could make in about ten minutes of prep...but please send me a link of what you think is the best example and I will look at it..Nothing would make me happier than to eat my words (hey I would love to believe in Peledians!)

  • You can find where all the detractors who claimed they could duplicated Meier's stills and footage, google: THEYFLY. Unlike Abductin-cases, the defining characteristic is all the hard evidence which confirms his contact with ETs.

  • Oh, and one more thing(again not trying to be hostile or anything...just adding a point) I have not seen one piece of hard evidence regarding Meier.....But like before I would be glad if youd point some out to me.

  • Phots, film, and even video that has withstood every analysis and still cannot be duplicated today, Beamship and metal-samples analysed by a mass-spectrometer and densitometer by Marcel Vogel in 1979, same equipment used by NASA, Beamship sounds, Landing Tracks, laser-gun, independent witnesses who gathered their own photographic and other evidence in Switzerland, and as final proof, the new relelations about the veracity of the photo evidence on THEY FLY. UFO HUNTERS, HISTORY-CHANNEL

  • Yeah......and Ive found just as many links refuting all of this......you still havent given me a link about James Randi saying this was credible.....did you lie about that?

    someone in cahoots with the guy saying hes for real is not good evidence.....I mean the photos are all complete fakes...they look fake...trust me Ive done videography for over 15 years....they just look horrible...its so obvious the photos are models...and I could reproduce any one of the videos....better than him easily.

  • At theyfly site. Billy had the best Hollywood studios make models from the photographs and footage, and they tried to duplicate the original photos with models. The computer caught them everytime, because a model has no DEPTH, it is shallow. Hilights reflect differently on a small model. Plus, billy has only one arm, and uses a moped to get everywhere. If you can make better footage, DO IT and end the debate. But realise everyone who tried to reproduce the original photos and footage has failed.

  • Been Enjoying LOST IN SPACE since Kindergarten, in 1965. From the piolot episode, I was entrhralled. I got all the toys, and collected and built the LUNAR MODELS kits in the 1980s and 1990s. Now MOEBIUS models makes some fantasic kits, and they are releasing an 18# Jupiter-2 in December, to go with their Scale Space Pod, and the Chariot!

  • You know, if they put landing gear on it...it wouldn't wreck when landing...

  • The Jupiter II has a landing-tripod, if recall from the second episode: THE DERELICT.

  • Yeah, I have never seen Lost in Space before so I wouldn't know. Just saw that it kept crash landing instead of using the landing-tripod.

  • You've NEVER seen LIS??? You been living on a desert-island the past 44-years? I've been enjoying it since september, 1965 with the kick ass pilot episode: THE RELUCTANT STOWAWAY.

  • Whopops, I see you're a kid. Get the DVD boxed sets, especially the thrilling and chilling Black and white season I. In 1965, a lot of TV shows were still filmed in Black and white. We didnt get color TV until 1969!

  • Yeah, I know when you guys got color. I am deffinatly not as stupid as most kids these days, in fact I watch movies and TV Shows that were made back in the 60's and 50's even. Good Films. Will deffinatly have to invest into the DVD Box Sets because this kind of TV Show is right down my line of shows.

  • the Jupiter 2 is not a UFO

  • right I agree completely a more appropriate word to use would have been to call it a Flying Saucer...which it is. By the way...what does you name mean...Orange SFO.....the end part I mean......Satisfying Flying Object???LOL

  • The wonders that await us in 1999 ....

  • That crash sequence, I'm assuming it was never used (?).

  • @1:40 the coolest sequence.

  • Love the thruster/wind/whistle sound effect! Got a wav. file?

  • As a top executive with NASA and retired General of the Air Force that headed up Project Bluebook, I conclude this is genuine.

  • ONLY WORD ... AMAZING !!!

  • Love this stuff. One of the problems with the big screen production was the loss of the cool rotating lights in the redesign of the J2.

  • Great trip down memory lane, thanks! Gave you a 5 well deserved!

    I thought those scenes were lost in space, litteraly!

  • BTW, great video on the J-II. I just rated it (5-stars, naturally!!) & favorited it. Thanks for posting!

  • What is really cool about the Jupiter II is that from the outside it had only one deck. But when you went inside it had 3 decks. The 1st deck was the control room where they flew the spacecraft and kept their equipment. The 2nd deck was the living quarters and kitchen. The 3rd was the engine compartment. The only thing is where did they store their SUV the Chariot?

  • Check out the excellent book "Saucer Fleet" from Ara Publications (you can Google it); it covers every sci-fi saucer that ever came out on film, INCLUDING the Jupiter II. It has beautiful color, b&w photos and even cutaway diagrams & outboard blueprint profiles...it'll answer all your questions on the famous ship from Lost in Space!

  • THe charit was assembled. "We'll assemble the Chariot, It'll get us over this rough-terrain", from the 3rd eppisode: Island in the Sky, just after the crash.

  • Air pipe space elivator can maybe the next best thing?

  • okay... i know this is an old movie... but this... is this even MEANT to look real?!?!?

  • This was taken from a old TV show called the invaders

  • Lost in Space not Invaders .....dah.

  • thetruthproject needs to project the truth before feeding wrong information

  • cool i totaly belive in ufos now thanx man

  • really i do not think that is real probably just a clip from a movie but what do i know

  • Know your right!!!!

    Its from "independence day" Just when thay start attacking!!!!

  • Ya thats so cool!!!!

  • Holy gee! check out the flames baby@

  • LOL XD and I thought hoax ufo videos now were crap

  • amazing sharp pictures!

  • "whatta peice of junk!" L. Skywalker

  • "handsome doctor smith..."

  • hey i can see the cord xD

    just kiddin :P

  • Where's Billy Mumy? WHERE IS HE??????

  • Yes! The wowing startup (and subsequent shutdown) of the "Jupiter 2" sound is actually the sfx stub used for the final soundtrack mix in Fantastic Voyage. Yet, it's on the Irwin Allen CD as "Jupiter 2 in Flight". Not strictly accurate, as the sound when used for the Jupiter 2 was never heard to speed up or slow down like that - other sounds were mixed in for takeoffs and landings.

  • ITS the JUPITER 2 From the tv series Lost In Space 1965 -68 I cant believe peoples comments that its a fake etc. LOL!!!!

  • uh..'two plates glued together' to 'a couple of soup cans' rep. over? roger 'two plates glued together' .this is 'a couple of soup cans' we read you over.. Uh yah..I'm thinkin' of just crashing into the middle here; is that cool?..over. Roger that 'two plates glued together' uh just crash where ever you like over..roger that over.

  • LOL!

  • get of'me land yuh alien hillwilliams...=o

  • lol its a toster berning tost

  • u idiots freeze frame at 40:00!!! there's your remote control!

  • Hey...sorry mate but what You mean is the "The Most Famous Flying Saucedr Ever".

    Indeed, we all know it's Jupiter-2 so it is an "Identified flying Object"

    Seriously, nice viedo mate!

  • At 1:17 they started using sound effects from the movie "Fantastic Voyage". That's the minaturizer effect.

  • Stock 20thcentury Fox sound effects, all used in Fox movies and TV. I loved the sound of the Jupiter 2s Atomic- gravity propulsion engines. The soundof the miniaturiser from FANTASTIC VOYAGE, the TIME-TUNNEL on full-power, and a bit of COSMIC-WIND sound thrown in when engine is spinning up for maneuvers or landing/take off.

  • LIS pilot was produced in 1964. Fantastic Voyage was made in 1965, and came out in 1966. I am old enough to very fondly remeber premeiers of both, kindergatrten,mid 1960s. The monsters from LOST IN SPACE SCARED ME SILLY. Gave me more bad dreams than THE OUTER LIMITS.

  • Yes, I know about these production years. But that's got nothing to do with this clip. They often just throw together something for a test run. And in this footage, they recycled some of the sound effects from the F.V. movie. Later replacing it with a fresh audio mix for the Tv show. Don't confuse this with the finished product. It's obviously a rough cut.

  • Yup, I know. Notice the winshield of the Jupiert-2 catching on fire and having to be extiguished in this clip. LB Abbott's and the Lydecker Brothers SPFX from 41-years ago were primitive, but effective. You cannot beat effects done with carefully crafted miniatures.

  • Agreed. Most of the Lydecker's work can stand up against some digital stuff done today, because CGI stands out more, while the Lydecker's stuff blends in, which is the point. Just look at most of the CGI Jupiter 2 stuff posted on youtube. Just because you CAN show it from every angle, doesn't mean you SHOULD. The Lydeckers used few angles for a reason - that's how the ship looked best.

  • Are you sure this is Howard Lydecker? I'm pretty certain this was all by Bill Abbott.

  • @tryptychUK I'm pretty sure both L.B. Abbott and the Lydecker Bros. both worked on Lost in Space, unless the Lydecker Bros just did the exterior outdoor sequences (the ones shot in natural sunlight as opposed to in a studio) and Abbott did the rest.

  • @tryptychUK Look at the credits. It WAS LB abbott and Howard and theodore Lydecker. THeir SPFX, miniatures, wirework and hi-speed camerwork hold up well even today!

  • Here is my theory: Although Alpha Control wasn't able to send a rescue ship to retrieve the Robinsons, they could each year send an "intergalatic CARE package", including new uniforms, laser weapons and, eventually, the Space Pod including installation instructions.

  • Time's up...sorry...so sorry bubbleboy. The correct answer is "Bob May". The voice of the robot was Dick Tufeld(& we were only kidding about the million dollars).

  • Freeze frame at 00:40. What IS that?

  • It kinda looks like a hand, holding a long tube...probably trying to extinguish the flames with compressed air lol. Poor Irwin did not have a big budget for the show, & this was likely the only 'Jupiter II' model they had. lol. I can picture Irwin:"CUT!!! Don't just stand there! PUT OUT THE FLAMES...IT'S THE ONLY JUPITER II WE HAVE, YOU IMBECILES!!!" I used to love Marta Kristin, too. I wonder what ever happened to her.

  • lol yea looks like the person getting a stick to get the beef outta the barbecue =P

  • I used to LOVE this show (Lost in Space) as a a kid! I was so fascinated by The Jupiter 2, that I tried to make a replica of it out of wood. lol. My Dad would laugh uncontrollably at Jonathan Harris (Dr Smith). For $1,000,000, who can tell me the name of the man inside the robot costume without using wikipedia?

  • How about you showing me the money first and then I'll tell you the name.

    After all, I have to know that you are on the up and up about money.

    Meet me behind Gerrity's pool hall tomorrow at 3 a.m.

    Be sure to bring the money with you.

  • like that film independence day lol

  • awesome spaceship

  • run young Will Robinson

  • dude ufo's are supposedly silent, stop with all whirring and shit

  • i know that ufos are silent, but this is from a tv series

  • Cool! It's obviously raw studio footage of the Jupiter II's takeoff and landing sequences. I love how the model catches fire from the gas jets - DANGER, WARNING!!!!

  • great animation... really oldskool but I like the style of it.

  • Dude thats gotta be real, ive seen some vids in my days but this, this is as close as it gets!

  • fake!!!! fucker bo!!!!!!!!!11

  • what to you mean fake? it's the real deal!!!

  • Looks like a 60's Sci-Fi "B" movie. Oh wait, it IS a "B" movie. I recognize the hive. LOL Not too bad an effort, though.

  • that was so stupid

  • i was on my way to skool . sorry

  • lol

  • a fake

  • no????

  • you gotta be kidding me, its fake?? no...

  • proof that aliens get drunk and drive too

  • he might have been dozing while driving

  • this looks like terrorhawks

  • just from an episode dude

  • Of course it's fake it's from a tv show that started in 1965, before Star Trek's which had a space ship that was also fake.

  • the star trek space ship fake?? i dont think so. your dumb if you couldnt see that it was absolutely 100 percent real.

  • Study Singularity and Zero Point Energy, thats what this UFO was trying to immitate.

  • Fake Fake Fake Fake Fake Fake Fake Fake Fake did i mention Fakee! Fake
  • WTF?

    Dumb comment dude.

  • They get dumber trust me , keep up the good work.

  • great stuff hippie1.... I love reading some of these comments..... WTF man.. Hey, this isn't real...... haha... I think this was a kid trying to get his license and was just nervous

  • duh its fake, i think the jupiter 2 is from a movie. And did i mentio, your a fag.

  • NO SHIT. LOL

  • You'd think that someone would lower the landing gear before landing, just a thought.

  • haha

  • Looks like someone cooking up something!

  • finally some believable ufo video!

  • The debunkers come to this site to watch this video on their coffee breaks.

  • Yeahhh. In office

  • OMG dude it's like FAKE! Like, no sheit u r so smart to see that like NOBODY else would've EVER got that, oh m'gawd!

    Jesus.

  • i never said its real. its an episode

  • Was that sarcasm i detected?

  • wtf

  • Was referring to giannisacco ie I was joking earlier. 'course it's fake, that's not the point.

    Carry on.

  • OMG, fake, fake!!

    Only kidding.

    Don't you love it when comments state the obvious?

    Especially when forty people all write the same thing.

    "Fake, Fake!"

    Nice vid btw, where's it from?

  • from an other user who gave it to me.

  • It from the that 60s show, called "Lost in Space".

    Whoever created the show had a lot of imagination.

  • Irwin Allen

  • its fake because it like a old fashion movie!

  • You must be a debunker...

  • LOL

  • fake dick weed

  • yeah, narutobeath, i think you are on weed.

    this was a EPISODE!!

  • duh!

  • does jupiter has a surface

  • i'm not sure, but i think there are very less pieces of 'hard' matter.

    but the most of jupiter is just gas and this stuff...

  • anyone remember :"crush,kill,destroy"

  • Yes, it was from the episode "Revolt of the Androids". The IDAK super android, played by Don Matheson (from another Irwin Allen show, "Land of the Giants") is released, programmed to "crush, kill" and "destroy" anything in its path...

  • I remember the very first episode. I miss the 1960's!!!

  • I thought the sequence was "Kill Crush, Destroy!"

  • ....."and repeat as needed"

  • "Spare me the inane innuendos, you bubble headed booby..." lol. Classic!

  • LONG LIVE IRWIN ALLEN! Been watching LOST IN SPACE nonn-stop for 42-years!!!

  • wow! that's a really long time, dude.

  • Just a drop in the ocean. I was enthralled from thepilot episode, when I was 4, and already a FIREBALL XL5, STINGRAY, JOHNNY QUEST, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, TWILIGHT ZONE and OUTER LIMITS devotee. I was into sci-fi and advanced technology before I was born. I must have been an Atlantean in a previous-incarnation (like 80% of Humans alive now).

  • I have the theme song to fireball XL5!!

  • I loved that song in the Early 60's (I still DO). "My hear would be a Fireball, a Fireball, evry time I look into your starry eyes...".

  • DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!!!
