To study a rogue planet heading for a near-miss with Earth, Prof. Elliot sets up an observatory on the foggy moors of a remote Scottish island, with his pretty daughter and Dr. Mears, a former student with a shady past. Soon after arrival of reporter John Lawrence, a ship from Planet X just happens to land near the observatory. Is the visitor (who actually looks alien) benevolent? What are Mears' real motives for trying to communicate with it? Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

Trivia
According to Robert Clarke, Pat Goldin, who played the spaceman, complained about billing, short pay and the heat of the costume . . . to no avail. According to producer Jack Pollexfen, Goldin did a slow-motion vaudeville act. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Dr. Mears tries to overcome the alien by shutting off his breathing apparatus, you can see the circular hole in the top of the aliens helmet enabling the actor Pat Goldin to breath. See more »Quotes
