Is this an authentic disclosure of what the U.S. government knows about aliens, or is this a psyop to distract the public from something more nefarious? As celebrated ufologist Giorgio A. Tsoukalos would say, “I’m not saying it’s aliens. But it’s aliens.”

Science-fiction pictures did not take off in Hollywood until around the 1950s, when many were produced under a paranoid Cold War mentality. However, despite the hilarious special effects and the many B-list actors that took these roles, there were many goodies, even if they were the second showing of a double feature at the local cineplex on a Wednesday afternoon.
