    UFO Believers, A Saucer, The Desert & More Ford Cars...Love It!

    At last, an empty saucer is found in the desert, and Vincent takes a close look at it.

    Now we are cooking. After the good-but-not-great season opener, now we get a close up look at a saucer in the second episode of year two. Maybe this should have been the season opener?

    Good effects of the saucer sitting in the desert, the desert itself looks good as it is all filmed on location (many other shows of this period would have used a studio set instead) and let us not forget the wonderful Ford cars. Just a great looking hour.

    On top of all this we have UFO believers all over the place (for once) and one of them is played by that cute girl from Forbidden Planet (1956).

    Does this sound good? It is.

    • Goofs
      During the fight in the car between John Carter and the alien, the steering wheel moves visibly from side to side, showing that it is only loosely anchored to the prop dashboard.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: [Opening Narration] A man has seen a flying saucer - an old and familiar story to David Vincent. But John Carter swears he can predict the day and place when another saucer will land. If true, he could bring to an end Vincent's continuing war against the Invaders.
