How much of
a movie is real? You have the actors, the location, the props, which by all
accounts are thoroughly scripted into the film. Nothing is out of place, or
shouldn’t be. You have that random car driving across the mountain in the blockbuster film Lord of the Rings: Fellowship
of the Rings as if it were a UFO…not part of the reality of the film, but
there nonetheless. Bravo to the people who discovered it-it almost takes
extra-sensory perception to notice something so miniscule. Still, it is there.
Just like there is a slight glimpse of a real UFO in one of the 1950s movies
(1953 may be exact) about a prehistoric monster who comes alive because of an
atomic experiment. Like what happens in Beast
from 20,000 Fathoms.
Can you spot the car?
The producer,
who was given the alias “Frank Miller” by Moseley, asked his friend Skippy to
shoot sixteen millimeters worth of film in Alaska for the anonymous film (for
obvious reasons). After shooting the film, he decided to reshoot some footage because
the weather had improved. During the surf scene, he noticed something bright in
his viewfinder, so he looked up, and hovering above was a real UFO that looked
like two dinner plates stuck together with a dome at the top and round windows.
“I think you may have the most sensational
sequence of film ever released by a Hollywood studio. And you won’t have to use
any special effects after all,” wrote Skippy in a letter to Miller. Even today
it would be nearly impossible to spot a real UFO in a film when we have
incredible CGI. Heavens, you can insert a UFO into a youtube video with photoshop!
But then some people are extra observant.
Of course,
no one would make a real hoopla about a car appearing in a film except for the
producer, perhaps. That’s not the case with UFOs. The military tries their best
to hide the fact that we have UFOs in airspace. They even have a successful
disinformation campaign waged against the reality of UFOs and aliens visiting
our planet. So when Miller boasted about having genuine footage of a UFO in his
movie throughout the media (columnists and trade press), he received some
unexpected attention from the military.
“An Air Force major in a natty uniform showed up,” explains Miller, “and said he would like to know more about the film. “
After easily
drifting off into a conversation about their time in the military served in the
same region in Japan, they left his office for a bar and talked some more over
alcoholic beverages.
The Air
Force major told him that, “Many saucer sightings were dreamed up by crackpots and many of the
cases involved misinterpretation of various natural phenomena. The Air Force
was greatly concerned about the reports, however, and actually had a special
division set up to investigate many of the sightings.”
Seems to me that the Air Force has an avid
interest in civilians’ activities, from what the major said. The catcher is,
when he asked the major what he thought about aliens personally, he admitted he
believed there was something to the phenomena. And that we’re being monitored
by an advanced civilization from Mars.
Miller was
understandably angry and disappointed…as anyone would be. Perhaps the military
should have let him use the original footage of the UFO, or flying saucer as it
was called in those days, because no one would have really been convinced that
it was the real thing anyway. And the audience that watched the version that inevitably came out, didn’t care that the film had a real UFO in it (of course, during the 1950s
sci-fi wasn’t as popular as it is today). This was reflected by the fact that
it caused no stir and received little patronage.
However, Miller did receive academy awards for later projects.
Speaking of
missing film, Moseley experienced a disappearance of his own at the Crash
Retrieval Conference in Las Vegas in 2009. According to Grant Cameron, Moseley
wanted to do an expose on the conference. Something that would have the
readership on the edge of their seats and the military curling
their toes. That was the military’s nightmare so they sent a purported MJ-12
agent to steal his film.
So, who was
that elusive, duplicitous agent who stole our idol’s film? No one really knows,
all that is known is the sequence of events that took place. Nick Redfern had been taking
photos of Moseley with Lisa Davis when he ran out of film, and handed the
camera back to Moseley so he could fill it again. Moseley went to put a new role of film in the camera, put the camera down for a minute, then opened it. The film was gone except for a single 10 inch strip.

In fact, perhaps it was a cooperative effort because everyone in the room was laughing as he went around interrogating them. Which must have been awkward, perplexing, and infuriating to Moseley. I mean, these were probably people he respected, but he couldn’t trust any of them. And they probably didn’t trust him either because his was a liminal trickster who had connections in Project Blue Book.
