UFOs The True Story of Flying Saucers 1956

Enjoy this drama-documentary, based on the experiences of Al Chop, a reporter who served as press liaison for the Pentagon during its investigation of UFO's from 1947 to the early 1950s.

Miller, Soule, and Tremayne provide the voices for the narrated portions of the film. Although the movie contains only two brief film clips to serve as photographic evidence of UFO's, the producers build a good case based on the credibility of certain UFO witnesses (airline pilots, military personnel, radar operators, etc.).

On a more subtle level, director Winston Jones pulls off a clever trick; he begins the film as a pure documentary, but he gradually modifies this approach and focuses on reporter Al Chop's personal involvement in the UFO investigation. Chop slowly changes from UFO skeptic to UFO believer

The climax is a gripping reenactment of a true incident which occurred in 1950, when a group of UFO's cruised above Washington DC for several hours. The voice of Harry Morgan is heard over the radio as an Air Force pilot whose plane is literally surrounded by UFO's, during which Al Chop and a group of bewildered military men cluster around the radar scope, watching in wide-eyed wonder. Dramatically speaking, this scene is far superior to its counterpart in `Close Encounters of the Third Kind'. The most amazing thing about this film is the fact that it was made with the full cooperation of the United States government, and every scrap of evidence it presents was made available to any and all scientific agency who wanted to examine it.

Watch it and make up your own mind about UFO's -- but you'll loose some sleep over it before you do. Note: Some reviews mistakenly identify the star of `Unidentified Flying Objects' as Tom Powers, a co-star of `Destination Moon' (1950). The star of `UFO' is actually a Los Angles newspaper reporter (not a professional actor) named Tom Powers, who portrays the real-life reporter Al Chop.

Originally when I saw this film as a kid the UFO films were in color.

well,

- kinda odd that the air force commanding general granted "LIFE" clearance !

- im familiar with the sittings over Washington, pretty interesting to hear the "radar perspective" .

I heard that half way through the production, the director pulled the actors aside and told them to act natural but they just stared at him.

basically a bunch of actors competing for Oscars.

At one of the UFO conferences I attended, I happen to meet the son of one of the Military advisers for the film and he told me that his father said it was the governments first attempt to see what the public's reaction would be if they disclosed the truth about UFO's. Supposedly, the poll was abandon due to the Military demand. I saw this movie at the age of 10 and it made such an impression that I became a researcher in the subject.
