Unidentified Flying Objects (1956)


United Artists
Directed by Winston Jones
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Painfully boring attempt to convince viewers that "flying saucers" are real. Endless scenes of interviews, newspaper headlines and dramatic recreations of sightings. Tom Towers, a real LA newspaperman, plays Al Chop, a civilian assigned as public relations man for the military. Various cases are examined, with only a few fleeting glimpses of actual UFOs. The best is saved for last, the extended footage, but it's a real let down. Just a few white dots against blue sky, completely unconvincing.
