While more-or-less factual, this overly-dramatic program provides an overview of the state of UFO research circa 1966 and contains some excellent sound bites from early-era kooks as well as serious researchers.

THE UFO ATTACK ON WASHINGTON, DC: August of 1952 became known as "The Summer of The Saucers" when numerous UFOs were seen--and many tracked on radar--for several weeks over the United States capitol. They repeatedly violated restricted airspace including flying near and/or over the White House and the Capitol Building and flew at rates of speed in excess of 7000 miles an hour! In these two interview excerpts you'll hear Al Chop, The Pentagon's Public Relations Officer at the time, give an overview of the events followed by newsman John Dailey's interview of James Ritchie of the Civil Aeronautics Association, who seems at a loss to explain the strange incidents.

1966 radio interview with Bill Donovan of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) during it's heyday. He discusses misidentifications vs. valid sightings, pilot reports, Air Force restriction of publication of sightings by military personnel (and even commercial pilots,) and a discussion of foreign sightings (Russia, Chile, and Argentina) and how they're handled by their respective governments. Donovan then goes into detail about yet another astronaut UFO sighting--namely James McDivitt's sighting of (and report on) a "bogey" during his Gemini IV space flight. There's also a brief discussion of changing geographic patterns on the moon and the possible use of the moon as a defense base either by the US or Russia and the 1955 statement by Gen Douglas MacArthur that "the next war would be interplanetary."
