Why is this man’s voice so compelling and soothing at the same time? I miss his mind. What a gift he was.
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.
First thank you to The Sprocket Network. 2nd, Rod Serling was an amazing man. He created the Twilight Zone, and also Night Gallery. - He was an amazing writer, and also a soldier in WW2.
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
These are the BEST docs of UFOs- no hyped exaggerated jolting camera work, REAL people, no one looking for noteriety or fame. Just real plausible accounts. WHERE did my 1970'schildhood era GO?????? I want to go BACK! ROD, PLEASE teleport me back to being a child in 1972!!!!! Kimberly
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.

Rod Serling,the true voice of mystery and intrigue
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 ?
Anything rod serling Ever narrated Or had a connection to Was a phenomenal Production And so informative
I think he even helped script the original 'PLANET of the APES' script.
This documentary sparked my interest in the subject. I remembered watching this one Sunday afternoon at my aunts house eating steak, rice, and collard greens.
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 -
👽🛸 "this is perhaps the best retro UFO documentary in existence." - bob lazar tube.
This was absolutely epic - no matter how it got to YT. Thank you much for sharing. I am so very grateful.
I saw The Phoenix Lights, I was about 30 feet under it. I wasn't into UFOs at all until that night. That was life changing for me.
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
The oldies are the best
Love Rod entrance at the beginning.
His voice is unmistakable! 👍👍
Yeahhh !!!!! :) I wonder if many movie fans know this is the voice you hear during the first minutes of "Phantom of the Paradise" :)
Rod Sterling didn't die. He just went home. 😁
Lame.
We will see Rod and our families and friends again I truly believe.I don't talk religion or politics. No sense in it. People are free to believe as the want. But I do like as you point out , Rod went home.🙏🇺🇸👍🙂
This is the best quality that I've seen of this on the internet, so it's a shame that it wasn't left in its original aspect ratio.
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…
@@nancyharper1360
'71 eh? Me too! Never saw this back then, so it's all good! Cheers....
One of the coolest docs ever on the topic :) Love especially to see the great Jacques Vallée when he was young :) And Rod Serling by the way was a genius :) Thank you for this vid of excellent quality :) I saw this doc years ago but this is by far the best version :)
Thanks...we always strive for the best quality image and sound!
awesome documentary 👍great voice.thanks for upload 🙏
Try "In search of..."with Leonard Nimoy,great voice for narration as well, also around this time.
This was one of the best documentary on the ufo subject I've come across
This is killer! I chubbed up when Burgess Meredith started narrating.
“Time Enough At Last!”
@@houdinididiit The Obsolete Man as “Romney Wordsworth.”
Go get ‘em rocky!!!
Burgess M
Great video with Rod and company great video
25 years ago, and we are still being stonewalled by those in the know.....
25? Try 50.
I recall seeing this many years ago. Possibly TNT. Late night TV. Easily one of the best documentaries I've ever seen about the situation.😂❤
Земляк про Воронеж прочитай случай в 1985 году.
Rod Serling died june 28 1975. I saw this at a drive in movie. In 74 or 75. Maybe i don't know this is a re edit that a year or so was re released. Not sure. It is a puzzlement.
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.
32:18 pointer or no pointer I didn’t see 💩
This documentary is straight to the point no fluff
This man's voice could make a walk through the park sound interesting!
We've been warned for years.
'Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore.' -HAL 9000 😮
Might be an oldie but it's certainly a goody, much appreciated!!
That cymbal crash throughout the whole thing keeps this off my overnight sleep playlist.
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.
Very well put together , worth the watch , Thank You for sharing this .
Oh my GOSH! I’ve been wondering what film this was, I saw it on TV around 1980. Rod Serling did narration for a lot of these things in the 70s. Wow. I remember being on the phone with a school friend, we were both watching the film on TV and discussing it. Mystery solved, thank you!
Seeing a young Jacques Vallee is awesome. BTW, my relative is in this show! Howard Burgess is my great uncle. We used to talk ufo's constantly. And yes, I've seen it all.
There’s not enough ads 🙄
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.
Michael Drummond read a letter mailed to him by the US Air Force. The letter was addressed to a Mr. Cardoso. Who is Cardoso? Is Michael Drummond and actual person or an actor?
What a merging off all my favorite personalities. Thank you❤
From IMDb : "This is actually a re-release of UFOs: Past, Present, and Future, a 1974 documentary film that examines several prominent UFO sightings from the post-war to contemporary era. It was re-released in 1976 and 1979 under the title UFOs: It Has Begun to coincide with renewed interest in the subject due to the release of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
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 ;)
Thank you so very much. Older yet still very informative video. I especially enjoyed the photos and the reports told by those who had actually been witnesses/participants.
Great documentary! Surprised I haven't seen this one before. 👍
Too bad we can’t see the object at 32:26. Otherwise one of the best documentaries of any era.
Yeah that pointer didn’t quite help lol
This is amazing…please more! 😊
On it!
I love these old classics.
Excellent video thanks
Awesome.
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 ??
This is very nostalgic! 🥰
Is that Burgess Meredith?
yep
Yes
I heard the end of this doco was meant to actual real film of UFOs landing but last minute changed to drawings.. it was an early effort at disclosure.. so I heard..
According to IMDB this was first released in 1974 and re-released in 1979. Regardless. Of all the UFO documentaries of the 70's-80's, this is hands down the beast. With the exception of "Helen" who is either a fraud or disturbed; this entire program was informative and not over the top like so many of its predecessors of the era.
❤❤❤love your content! Thankyou!!❤❤❤
So glad!
This film has 2 of the 8 greatest male narrators of all time.
Interesting documentary about UFO
I used to be convinced that Rod Serling had done various voiceovers for some of the Atomic Testing by the US! If you're ever watching some of the Atomic Test Footage, listen out for Rod in his _Secret_ Vocation! I'm positive he's in the Operation Greenhouse Series and a couple more! Rod is Never _Officially_ noted as ever Narrating on any Atomic Tests.
There's one more Well Known line I can recall it sounding so much like Rod Serling.. "In The Valley Where The *Giant* Mushrooms Grow".. (Frenchman Flat NTS I believe) It IS Rod Serling!! haha
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
Still no disclosure by the governments.
Soon, very soon, Rod Serling's narrations will come back to life, thanks to the magic of AI.
It'll cost 'em for the rights.
Some would say that would be akin to raping a corpse. Unless his estate can accurately parse his wishes, who knows?
1st 🥇
This program, Close Encounters, and that hokey show Project Blue Book sure brought the crackpots out of the closet in the late 70’s.
Sterling died in 1974 so this cannot be 1979. Just saying but love all this.
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.
Rod serling sure did like that one actor that played the penguin back in the day.
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.
Legendary
This has a more erry feel to it. This alt to bring this back.
Is that mick from rocky talking about the Dover case?
Yep
No one has yet ever correctly translated Ezekiel
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
What I find facinating and tragic about this video, is when Serling is talking about the 'future' of our aviation. Well, this film is now FORTY-FIVE Years old. That future is HERE. and guess what? We haven't advanced jack-all in any real sense, in terms of aviation technology.
Commercially, we are still flying around in the same big, slow tubby buses that we have been since around 1960. Better avionics, but nothing major. Its replacement, the Concorde has now been retired for 20 years, with no replacement! And why was our 'Next Generation' of commerical air travel dumped? Because it was 'Too Loud'. Yeah, RIGHT.
On the Military Side, the worlld air speed record is still held by the SR-71 'BlackBird', Mach 3+, set in 1976. With no subsequent improvement? SERIOUSLY?
In nearly 60 years, our technology has not significantly advanced. Other than the shiny beads of Smartphones and the cancer of Social Media.
they have the real goods! NAVY GAVE THIS DOC THE GO AHEAD.
Serling passed in 1975 so they must have gotten Jacques Vallee to do narration as he cites Jan 1979 cases @ 1 hr 14 mins mark. I guess they pieced together some Serling and some Vallee narration and combined to make the whole film. Good film btw.
Way Cool 👍
And Burgess Meredith was narrating on the Capt. Mantell part
24:49 X files opening
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?
TOP NOTCH.
FYI, The Washington DC UFO incident has one major hole in it. Th incident as related happened in 1952, and the person relating the story mentioned that he was contacted at home by the Public Affairs Officer of te FAA. Problem is, the FAA was not created until 1958
56.05 , where that horse come from! Lmao
Really enjoyed watching this. I didn't realise how rubbish modern 'made for American market' documentary's have become. Endless recaps of the same info and video sensationalised to the extreme. This on the other hand treats viewer's like adults and is very well written.
Spoiler: some of the voiceover narratives…by Burgess Meredith. Who?~ THE Penguin in the original BATMAN TV series in the 60’s. Bonus: I also spied Vincent Price, heard his own voice.
.
@ 1:30:30 'anunnaki' 🛸
ROD SERLING should be 1st in the title 😎👍🏻
this is so insane
You don't see blokes like him anymore.
My gods, what were they thinking when they approved this background score??
"Nah, go back to that cymbal. Yeah. Just keep hitting that same cymbal. Folks, we've got ourselves a soundtrack!"
I have two copies of this on 📀 just in case I loose one 😂😂👍🏾✌🏾
the air force officer at 1:11 looks like jack benny
The guy who said he saw a UFO while flying on an airplane at 19:00 did not seem authentic at all....
Thanks for the upload!
If anyone's interested there is a another quite decent documentary on YT called "Mysteries Of The Gods" from 1976. It's hosted by William Shatner.
That truck has a 390cu big block in it
Our government has tried to disclose extra terrestrial intelligence many times by now…2024.
But…. Everyone already knows about et’s… and nobody really cares. There isn’t anything we or the government can possibly do about the reality of life in this universe.
We do all wish the oppressive world leadership would change for the better…..Tom
Back then CGI and camera tricks was not available at that time. This video tends to be authentic I believe.
32:00
I couldn't see anything at all on that film. NEVER trust the authorities if they ask to have a look at your evidence. You obviously won't get it back!
Which is infuriating!
And just makes me think... "Bloody thieving pigs!" Grrr!
🖕🏻🤬👎🏻
And lastly, this is actually a very good programme, especially for the time it was made (mid-1970s). I do actually recall watching this somewhere else on the internet about 20yrs ago, except I saw a truncated version. I remember bits and pieces of it, though not everything. (I actually think I downloaded it as a bit torrent from LimeWire, so that's certainly going back a bit!) 😁👍🏻
I appreciate that it's being taken seriously right from the beginning of the programme, which is somewhat uncommon for most older UFO programmes.👽🛸🤖
Anyway, thumbs up! 🖖🏻🙂👍🏻
And thanks to the uploader too!
✌🏻🙂👌🏻
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!!!
Bat man and rocky I can’t think of that actors name altimers is kicking my butt
In the last years of the 20th century, human affairs were being waaatched, from the timeless worlds of space...
Rod Serling yeah he was good at being a Narrator. I believe he was the voice to the twilight Zone too, as his voice is so distinct. I think the world these days is but a hop away now from learning in fact we are not alone in this universe, and will also learn that we never were, we are all part of a huge family tree, the only way to make it to the stars is to change our mindset from war to enlightenment, we should too all live our lives the way we designed to, we should be the best version of who and what we are and live our passion and naturally enlightenment will be easier to acquire? If we all become enlightened then weapons of conflict and war will be dropped and mankind would. Contribute global cooperation to become an interstellar race ourselves, surely that beats the need for war.
All of the sudden....an advertisement comes on.
57:48 wtF! Washed clean? 🙄
The interesting thing about Rod Serling is, even though he's been pigeonholed as a storyteller and often times narrator of the bizarre, supernatural and occult, he didnt actually believe in any of it; especially with narrating gigs like this, it was simply a paycheck.
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.
Full disclosure
Valle's American accent was a lot better in his younger years.
"Mon" the theory oooo weee!!!! Bushido!!!!
24:18 So let me get this straight... A "temperature inversion" can appear or disappear when it senses ... company? 🤔 And we are talking about 3 different radar systems over avery sensitive airspace!? Ummm Houston....(ya know)
35 star 💫 VID🎉👏🏽⭐️🔥💯💯
Who’s the narrator,, sounds familiar
Just big old drone testing 😮
Rod Serling died four years prior to this documentary's release.
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”
Serling died in 1975. Why is this dated 1979?
The 1979 version is a re-release of a film originally released in 1974.
