    • Trivia
      Cynthia Hayward (later Cynthia Ford) is credited with the role of Mrs. Nina Moore, the wife of Col. Moore (played by Glenn Ford), and would become Ford's third wife (married 1977, divorced 1984).
    • Goofs
      As AF412 is preparing to take off, the tower instructs the pilot to "Squawk 3138". The "Squawk" is a four-digit transponder code using only digits in the Octal number system, i.e. 0-7. Therefore it is impossible to "Squawk 3138".
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Narrator: This is a UFO - an Unidentified Flying Object. It was photographed at Santa Catalina Island in April of 1966. Look at it again. Closely. Hundreds, even thousands of witnesses have seen similar things appear in the sky. Persons living miles from others have testified independently that UFOs have appeared in a specific place at a specific time.

    • Crazy credits
      Greg Mullavey is credited as playing the role of Captain Tony Podryski. However, during the Air Force 412 event, he is a First Lieutenant and not promoted to Captain until later, as noted by the Narrator.

    Slightly Entertaining But Not That Informative or Factual
    Glenn Ford stars as an Air Force colonel by the name of "Pete Moore" who has just sent a four-man crew on a flight to test some electrical equipment. As Flight 412 nears its destination they are informed by a nearby Marine Corps air base that there are three strange blips on their radar screen and Flight 412 is requested to confirm it. After confirming it the Marine Corps sends two Phantom jets to intercept these unidentified flying objects only to have them mysteriously disappear. At this point the Marine Corps air base turns control of Flight 412 over to NORAD which then diverts it to another heading and orders them to maintain radio silence until they land at an undisclosed location. Now, rather than reveal any more of the film and risk ruining it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was an interesting movie for the most part. Although it begins in a semi-documentary style which opens and closes with a narrative it doesn't really reveal anything out of the ordinary. In essence, it's slightly entertaining but not that informative or factual. All things considered I rate it as average.
