This documentary catalogues and examines early space age anomalies and UFOs. Cary and Stanton demonstrate NASA's interest in UFOs through astronaut testimony, examinations of declassified documents, and a history of cover up.
Since the dawn of the space age, mankind's endeavors to learn more about outer space has been shrouded in secrecy from the public. A seemingly civilian space research agency has been in collusion with the defense intelligence agencies since the beginning our of ventures into space. Secrecy has been imperative to all space research which helps keep the true findings by NASA of what they found on the moon and of course UFO activity outside our planet. This documentary catalogues and examines some of the best anomalies in the early space age that demonstrate NASA's interest in UFOs through testimony of our astronauts, NASA imagery examinations, declassified documents, and a deep history of cover up by our intelligence agencies. Stanton Friedman explains the cultural phenomenon of debunking credible UFO history in mainstream media. Cary Martynuik examines the incredible UFO history of secrecy exposed by astronauts and NASA's declassified releases of information to the public. This is the first in a series of documentaries covering UFOs, anomalies and secrecy in space.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
