Must have been unique in its time

The standard Government cover-up of UFO. If we knew about it too soon it would sway the presidential elections. Part of the containment is to discredit two astronauts Steve Bancroft, Lew Price (Gary Collins, James Hampton) who witnessed the object. If they cannot be discredited, they need to be contained. If not contained, then? What is worse is that it seems that Lew has a real flair for adventure.Standard conspiracy and obligatory auto chase. They tried to toss in Great Primed theory after it was figured out that people built it and left debris and work records. It sort of puts a damper on the story. Oh no, what about the missing link and where next?The fun thing is looking at all the old technology of the eighties (some of it was old then). A side benefit is a rather good picture of Big Spring, Texas, where the movie was made. The movie is a good vehicle for TV actors of the time. Putting this film in a time frame the movie "Capricorn One" was made three years earlier. You need to watch this for cultural literacy, but it has lost the original flair and suspense of the time it was made.

Pre-X-Files.....Maybe?

Ok, no, this isn't one of the greatest movies of all time by any means, but it does have some very interesting theories and suggestions, ala the "X-Files". If you were between 10-14 during the late 70's and early 80's, you'll remember the movies that dealt with such mysteries as Bigfoot, Noah's Ark, and (didn't this one just scare the be-jesus out of you!) Nostradomas, narrated by Orsen Welles. I think the movie is entertaining, even though it is "dated" by today's standards. I also don't think it's a strech to say this could have been the very birth of the X-Files as we now know it.
