- TriviaThe Air Force did scramble their fastest jets to attack the "unknown objects" which were as shown no capable of keeping up with the aerial acrobatics of the "flying objects" in maneuvers or their rate of speed. This was reported in 1952 in all the press at the time. One of the last times that the press freely could publish the sightings.
- GoofsCaptain Quinn states he's taking off in an F-94 Starfighter all weather interceptor, but the aircraft shown is a T-33 Shooting Star trainer.
- Quotes
William Fairchild: Where did you get this?
Captain Michael Quinn: It's a little hard to explain right now.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek: What is Operation Ivy, sir?
William Fairchild: I think you need to tell me where you found this.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek: Sir, with all due respect, if you don't know, then we're the ones who should be asking the questions right now, not you. Especially as there is a duplicate which will finds its way to the press should anything happen to us.
Captain Michael Quinn: I-I don't think we're in a position to be making threats to the Secretary of Defense.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek: It's not a threat. The truth will come out one way or another. Isn't that what you really want?
William Fairchild: Ivy is the code name for a top secret thermonuclear weapons test in the South Pacific. We had two successes and one failure. Now we know why.
Captain Michael Quinn: A UFO?
Dr. J. Allen Hynek: Well, whatever they are, I think it's a message. They want us to know that they're in charge of the skies, and they're watching us.
Captain Michael Quinn: Wait, hold on a second. Surely, we should get it tested before crediting aliens with taking down the most powerful weapon known to man.
William Fairchild: I need the President to see this before the Joint Chiefs have him make a horrible mistake. But I'm going to need backup.
