    • Trivia
      The two films shown at the drive-in theater are: It Came from Outer Space (1953) and Shane (1953).
    • Goofs
      The North American Aviation X-15, Douglas X-3 Stiletto, and Convair XFY Pogo aircraft were never flown out of, or stored at Area 51. The X-15 flew from Edwards AFB, California, between 1959 and 1968, and was carried aloft on the right wing pylon of the B-52 mothership. The X-3 also flew from Edwards between 1952-1956. Pogo was primarily tested at Moffett Field, California. Also, the X-15 was never referred to as the "Stogie" as was done on Project Blue Book.
    • Quotes

      General Hugh Valentine: I want you two on the next flight out of here. Do you understand me?

      Captain Michael Quinn: Yes, sir.

      Dr. J. Allen Hynek: We'd like to reopen the case into Sergeant Willingham's encounter.

      General Hugh Valentine: Willingham confessed.

      Dr. J. Allen Hynek: He - he did what?

      Captain Michael Quinn: Confessed to murder?

      General Hugh Valentine: I want you two to listen to me, and listen to me very carefully. Corporal Miller's murder was a tragedy, and we are not gonna trivialize that young man's death with talk of flying fucking saucers. You understand me? Now you will go home, and I will clean up this shit because you can't.
