I agree !!! :) His voice is unique :) Fun fact (but maybe you know it) Serling does the voice over at the very beginning of "Phantom of the Paradise" the masterpiece of Brian De Palma !!!! :)

2 packs of Marlboros a day certainly helped his voice.

@@StephenDedalus74 Thanks. I never saw that. But I’ll have to check it out. Here’s another interesting Rod Serling fact that maybe you know: he wrote the original Planet of the Apes! And if we think about the ending when Charlton Heston comes across the Statue of Liberty, it makes so much sense. Classic ironic ending. Exactly like a Twilight Zone episode. :)

@@houdinididiit Wow ! I did not know for Planet of the Apes ! I mean, I remember it was adapted from a french sci fi novel (by Pierre Boulle, who also wrote... The Bridge over the River Kwai !!) but had completely forgotten who wrote the terrific screenplay !!! :) This is most excellent info and indeed the ending really has "Twilight Zone" vibes !! :)

two packs of smokes a day,,,,dead at 50.

Indeed, we have much to thank him for, two super television series these, we got The Twilight Zone in England but I don't ever recall seeing NIGHT GALLERY back in the 1970's as a kid or even the 80's as a teen, but I finally got to see these too & although not quiet of the quality of TZ there were some effective & chilling stories, I especially liked the Bill Bixby SORCERER episode alongside the superb Vincent Price...tis said that Serling also got to see the actual landing footage seen here but was at the last minute told that no such footage will be forthcoming, although a few long shots were permitted, WHAT A SHAME, how different our World might have been if such moments had been TAKEN by the U.S. military top brass, rather than having to go SECRET COVER-UP all this time :(

He fought in the Pacific against the Japanese

Rod also wrote the screenplay to the original Planet of the apes

True voice of story telling

We also used to have some ufo 🛸 book’s at our old 🏡 house in Urbandale,Iowa.I think,since those time’s,I got rid of those book’s?This was probably in order to get some money 💰 for them?

@@bettyleeist How much ?

Totally agree 👍 I loved the 1970s

Get a grip of yourself 😂

The 60s and 70s were a great time to grow up. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

I did go back. It was as good as we all remembered. I found myself watching Saturday morning kids cartoons. Compared to 2027 the entire cultural landscape was worlds apart. And that’s before you get into how digital technology ruined the entire human race.

@@darrenscrowston9386 *_A I. will be our downfall._*

I think he even helped script the original 'PLANET of the APES' script.

How old are u?

@tinyikomaluleke3594 50 & this documentary was shown Sunday afternoon 1981.

@@tinyikomaluleke3594 he’s dead now 🙄

Aaah, the 'finglonger' ❤

You had a nice Aunt ! She must have cared about you -

Seeing one up close opens our minds , only UFO books have the credible information you will find interesting yet the ETs themselves are in charge of UFO disclosure . We will see the fantastic UFO show in the night sky hopefully before i die .

Was there any change in the atmosphere? Did the birds, animals or bugs react to the occurrence? Did the air around you change in any way? What did you hear, see (focus and light spectrum), smell, or tasted anything unfamiliar? These questions seem strange but are very important when seeking clarity to an event.

@@bobbyagee3796 There was total silence. The 'light' looked like lava flowing down out of openings at the bottom of the craft, it would drip down, stop then return back up into the opening as more would flow down. No noise, no wind, no heat, no odor. I was 30 feet under the tip of the left wing. A cowvker saw it too, he had stopped at a red light and noticed all the crickets stopped chirping and the sound from the car next to his, the radio made no sound as the craft flew over his head. Once passed, the crickets and the radio made sound again.

"David Parker Phoenix Lights" for my inter view

Yeahhh !!!!! :) I wonder if many movie fans know this is the voice you hear during the first minutes of "Phantom of the Paradise" :)

Lame.

That is a shame, I don't even want to watch it :/

😢

Maybe they had to finagle with the aspect ratio to accommodate the multiple viewing platforms; ie, phone, tablet, TV and PC. Back when this was filmed there was only one (TV or cinema - I don't know which because I didn't read the description [yet]). Frankly, I'll take however they wish to present it as this whole doc is brand new to me. I graduated HS in '71, and my first brush with 'out there' movies was Andromeda Strain. I've been hooked on the strange and unexplainable ever since. On a side note, Jacques Valle was a gorgeous hunk of man flesh!!! He's still holding up quite well. 😅🥰 Ahhh well, those were great days and full of lots of good times. I'm glad I was there - even if I never did see any UFOs. 🤷 Many thanks again to those who shared this video with us!!

That’s how ya get a strike on your channel, copyright infringement…

Земляк про Воронеж прочитай случай в 1985 году.

Yes this cannot be from 1979! Maybe it was re-run or re-issued again on that date.

It was released in 1974.

mendella effect.... is messing everything up..

Re release in 76 and 79.

I have another version of this documentary in which a little more is seen of the skies around this BASE including a few snippet shots of something WHITE clearly descending, so I think your right Austin, I get the feeling this is a more recent edited version, shame, but then again, the ORIGINAL FOOTAGE showing this landing nearly made it to AIR on TV but for a late call stating the reels would NOT be allowed but that a few snippets (seen in the older original print) could be inserted. The UFO / ET subject in time to come will be common place & it many may well wonder WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ALL ABOUT? it's an interesting one to be sure, like many I simply took it as red that ET's existed & had very likely visited this planet of ours (despite the nonsense notion that their planetary systems are just too far away...what BULL...and I suppose that's because they'll then be using TECH similar to ours then? ;) how such folks cannot realise that they are likely to be well in advance of us & would have invented remarkable ways of exploring this Galaxy of ours...but hey if the Military (as it seems) wish to play their silly cover up games then so be it. There is one PROVISO though...it may well be that there was a genuine reason for holding back such information (and it's unlikely that they're BAD / EVIL ET's who want to EAT us but if they're intelligent & wish to do so...then I hope you choke on us) NO, it's much more likely to be SOMETHING so at ODDS with most on PLANET EARTH that it would be difficult to come to terms with. What might this be? Well, it is interesting that the likes of THE GREYS (all types) and the NORDIC types as well as others are very HUMAN LIKE...HOW CAN THIS BE? what's so troubling that the Military would hold back progress & knowledge of such species for all this time? Could it be...that we are very much connected to them? might it be that we have been created by they (NOT GOD or by way of DARWIN's THEORY of Evolution) but by their own hands...making we 'HUMANS' an EXPERIMENTAL SPECIES. If so? it is what it is...but I do understand to many that this would be very troubling....perhaps something along these lines, rather than simply HEY ET's exist & they've been visiting this Planet not just for decades but for many centuries, "TIME TO LEARN THE TRUTH" whatever it may be.

Go get ‘em rocky!!!

It won't be long until you have to watch a commercial to take a piss

I had to put up with 14 ad breaks

Go ad-free or don’t whine.

@@CaseyWinehouse yeah because we don’t have to pay enough to view things already 😂

Mozilla with ad blockers. No ads at all.

I have the original & it's not so different, although curiously in the older, original version, we get to see snippets of the REAL ENCOUNTER CRAFT that landed & is shown here using the artists impressions, curious how they are humanoid like ;)

OMG I have to agree even if I LOVE this doc !! The cymbal was NOT a good idea LOL

~50 years ago, or so, I think Rod was aiming for the dramatic effect on his presentation, not exactly hoping this might one day be a choice for someone's sleep playlist.😅 I noticed the cymbals most at the end. Use of cymbals in movie music was big back in the '70s so Rod probably thought it was perfect.

Yeah that pointer didn’t quite help lol

Sounded like Burgess Meridith in there too.

I believe he did do some voiceovers for those old atomic test footage reels in the 1960's

yep

Yes

On it!

I thought there is something wrong here. Thank you.

It was actually released in 1979. Who knows why the delay?

This is the second release from 79, with extra stuff... The whole Jacques Vallée portion is from 79

Docu’s are not live. just saying.

It was released in 1971 and re-released in 1976 and 1979 tells us Wikipedia.

Yep. Burgess Meredith was in four episodes of Twilight Zone, so you are correct! Such a great actor....He made Rocky a better movie!

@@davidhannum5598 bro what's it out to me was the night gallery episode. Where they find a medicine bag from the future. The evil and deceit and lust in that short film is absolutely unprecedented amazing

@@davidhannum5598 I remember him in an episode of night gallery as well

@@davidhannum5598 Spot On...I'd have loved those ROCKY movies anyway (well the first four) but man did he make them that little bit more better & special. I've recently re-watched these first four movies & although BOXING clearly is important to them, they're really LOVE STORIES involving Adrian, Mickey (Meredith) & finally APOLLO himself (RIP Carl...another who made these movies so much better than they would have been without him) as for those TZ episodes? well one of those four was a real classic & seems to be getting closer to reality with each passing day...so perhaps they're really will be finally...TIME ENOUGH AT LAST...to read all those books you've always wanted too because they'll be damned near nothing else to do with probably a good deal of POWER lost for years if the BIG NUKES are released. Such a crazy species these HUMANS.

Yeah, I saw it years ago but this is the best version for me so far :) Anyway, was wondering : what if the "UFO" at 13:07 was the entity itself ?? I mean, not a craft, but the NHI ??

How could you possibly know?

You do it

Please share more of your all knowing knowledge with us...the only person who truly knows what happened is who was there...period

@@pairashootpants5373 : It's something I sense. Because it makes absolutely no sense as quoted. "Beasts", I suspect, could be translated as sounds or noises resembling those of the named creatures "Wheels within wheels" is what one sees looking at a UFO with polarizing lenses. I know people who see into the ultraviolet, so they see "auras" like that. That engineer's interpretation isn't what I'd gather from my translation of the verses. I'll come back after I have a Hebrew lexicon and Torah to say what I think it should say, and which the translators of King James time could have no conception of.

@@pairashootpants5373 : You're right, suspect is more like it

So glad!

Good eye! 👍

I scrolled too far to see this comment!!! Glad someone else caught that!

@@pauulkubasek1815 You can almost hear Mark Snow whistling in the background, can't you?

Yep

Well, I think he was open to all this, after all he wrote a lot of the Twilight zone episodes.

​@@lamarravery4094It was a paycheck 😂

He was a WW 2 combat veteran also. Talented gentleman.

Tis said...RUMOUR of course...so take it or leave it, but that either HE (Serling) was shown the actual LANDING FOOTAGE or was told about it, they so nearly got their hands on it for inclusion on this DOC & this is from the 1970's & still it sits in a military vault awaiting someone to finally sign it off to be seen by those who already knew the story before this documentary was ever made. So if true? then I cannot see how an intelligent man such as Serling would not believe any of it, it's a little like CARL SAGAN, those in the know have a good idea that despite what Mr Sagan stated in public & in Tv interviews, he actually knew a good amount concerning such a topic, it's even said, he was part of Majic (Majestic) even if only on special occasions when asked for his thoughts & is probably HOW he was able to help Mr Frank Drake with his equation concerning how many intelligent species currently exist within our galaxy...said to be 10,000, if true, this is most interesting.

That's because Rod Serling and Rod Serling are the same guy. 😉😁

@@willmfrank Very witty.

This is a reworking of a documentary made in the early 70’s. They used the old documentary and added the Jacque Valle bits and re-released it because of Spielbergs “close encounters of the third kind”

And NASA (so they've said themselves) have LOST historic & so important filmed footage & data from APOLLO 11 & probably others too? but fancy losing such iconic first moments to the MOON, makes one think what else they've lost ;)

Haha yeah the pointer didn’t really help lol!!!
