Storyline

Atomic scientist/pilot Doug Martin is missing after his plane crashes on an reconnaissance mission after a nuclear test. Miraculously appearing unhurt at the base later, he is given sodium amethol, but authorities are skeptical of his story that he was captured by aliens determined to conquer the Earth with giant monsters and insects. Martin vows to use existing technology to destroy them. Written by Gabe Taverney (duke1029@aol.com)

Trivia

Contrary to the usual practice in the 1950s, the credits for "Killers from Space" appear at the end rather than at the beginning of the movie. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In the shots showing the supposed "fireball" on the ground, a couple of vehicles can plainly be seen on the highway to the right. (Since the shot is a freeze-frame effect, the vehicles are motionless but still evident.) Also, since this is a nuclear test site, there shouldn't be any highways, let alone traffic, in the vicinity to begin with. See more »

Quotes

Major Clift, MD: Well, Dr. Martin seems to be indestructible except for his hallucination.
Colonel Banks: Those weren't hallucinations, Colonel. Under sodium amethol, a patient loses all control of his imagination.
Major Clift, MD: Well, then, he shouldn't be able to fabricare these stories.
Colonel Banks: That's right!
Briggs, FBI: Major, you're not trying to tell us that everything he said was true?
Major Clift, MD: Look, gentlemen, I can only give you the medical facts. As for the rest - you'll have to decide that for yourselves... Excuse me, please!
