Ufos and the Cold War

Synopses
No serious scientist can admit to believing in "flying saucers." Nevertheless, since the Second World War, the US military and secret service branches have left a remarkable paper trail concerned with just such phenomena. In thousands of files and reports now ordered declassified the matter is clear: high-ranking military feared that UFOs were likely secret Soviet weapons, a number opining further that the spacecraft were being piloted for the Soviets by extraterrestrials. In the film contemporary witnesses and experts "speak for themselves;" among them: camera personnel tasked with filming UFOs, airplane pilots who allegedly saw evidence on their radar screens and-or with their eyes, and historians who have studied the matter.
