I, my sister and two brothers were allowed to stay up Saturday night to watch those sci-fi during the 50’s and 60’s provided we did not fall asleep and get found in the living room Sunday morning. Every single Saturday night my youngest brother would fall asleep and then had to be basically carried upstairs as our father had said there would be no more late night movies if we could not stay awake. While he never told us, as adults we figured out that he knew and on some level enjoyed hearing us struggle to get a sleeping seven year old up a flight of stairs quietly.

Science fiction movies were so great to watch on tv in the late 1950s and early 1960s and then what happens, we get in my view the greatest science fiction tv show of all time The Outer Limits. Star trek was just space soap opera but Limits was so well done , like watching a feature film in one hour.

Wow! Theramins were around in 1953 as well! And in the 1950's radiation was the big scary thing. While nonstop cigarette smoking was not scary at all... The amount of cig smoking in this flick is scary indeed. Most Sci-Fi flicks of this era were just as horrible as this one, with only a few exceptions. On the other end of the greatness spectrum, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" runs rings around this one, for example.

I should add this to my next movie night!

I haven,t seen this movie for a long time on TV. An over look type of movie that doesn,t get play at all. But its quite good with the plot. An invisible alien in a space suit runs around the place.

Loop antennas are used for direction finding at those frequencies. The other antennas they showed were aimed straight up, and would be useless for direction finding.. You use the angle from two known locations, and a map to find the point where the cross, to triangulate the source.
