    This film marks the birth of ideas such as, alien adduction, alien experimentation, and alien conspiracy. It also give rise to such films and TV show as, Close Encounter of The Third Kind, Fire in the Sky, and most important, The X-Files. It took me a while to track this film down. A not too bad transfer of film-to-VHS-to-DVD is given me all sorts of flash backs from my "younger" years in the mid to late seventies.

    The Outer Space Connection is the hallmarks of the 1970's, with its heavy pseudo-science overtone to its otherworldly soundtrack which I find very soothing. One has to be a "true believer" to take stock of anything this documentary has to say, but it won't hurt to put up one's mumbo-jumbo filter in your mind as you watch this film. I love the narration of Rod Serling, his authoritative voice lend some credence to the documentary. Also, the creepy atmosphere the film presented is not too bad either. The subject of movie wandered from outer space alien to alien outer space travel to alien human experimentation, to communication with other specie of animals towards the end of the movie.

    If you're a X-Files fan then you must have it in your library, agent Mulder sure has.
  • Interseting documentary in how man evolved on earth over the last 12 to 15 thousand years. Was man actually indigenous to the planet earth or did he come, or was planted, here on earth by aliens from outer space? We get to see ancient mans sudden evolution as an ape like creature fighting off the elements as well as wild animals to become master of the world almost overnight some 15,000 years ago. It's then that man's immediate relative the brutish and ape-like Neanderthal Man disappeared from the face of the earth and was replaced by the far more intelligent Cro Magnom Man. It was the Cro Magnom Man who not only walked upright, unlike the Neanderthal, but had a brain capacity that equaled if not suppresses that of modern man!

    The documentary narrated by Rod Serling show us the many unexplained mysteries as well as accomplishments of the ancient civilizations, that in many cases can't be duplicated even today, that can only be explained if an outside force or galactic civilization, like aliens from space, had a hand in creating them. It's suggested that man himself was planted here on earth by aliens to colonize the planet until their return in the very near future!

    The fact that since the advent of the Atomic Age UFOs, or alien spacecraft, have made their appearance in such vast numbers, compared to ancient times, that it's most probably a result of the aliens, who's spacecraft are commonly spotted hovering over and monitoring nuclear military instillation's and missile sites, trying to keep their off-springs, the human race, from destroying themselves in a nuclear holocaust! This may very well be the reason that what was considered, by many in the US and Soviet military after WWII, an inevitable nuclear war has never broken out since the atomic bombing of Japan back in August 1945! Not just among the major world nuclear powers but even among third world nations in possession of nuclear weapons!

    Not as far fetched or over the top in its prognostications as you may think "The Outer Space Connection" does in fact make a solid case in mans link to an outer space civilization. Since no one in the scientific community could easily, if at all, explain away its basic premise in that man is unique to any living creature on earth because he in fact isn't native to the blue and green planet!

    P.S With all the hoopla about the Myan Calender ending on December 21, 2012 with the earth facing total destruction the film "Outer Space Connection" has a different take on it that's is not as dreaded but far more optimistic. Were told at the end of the film that on December 24 (Christmas Eve) 2011 the space aliens who planted us here on earth will came back, by the thousands and in fleets of hundreds of intergalactic spacecrafts, to show us that in fact they are real and our long lost forgotten and distant, in light years not generations, relatives!
  • Warning: Spoilers
    One of the best documentaries on the UFO phenomena is less out there than many that were produced in the years that followed. Narrated by Rod Serling this film covers a variety of strange topics that may or may not be connected to the question of the then current UFO craze. The film, made by Alan Landsburg who would go on to do the In Search of series with Leonard Nimoy, gets much of its power by sticking closely to interviews with people in academia and with evidence that can be quantified. Its not as completely out there as many of the documentaries that followed in its wake, this is a well reasoned and well thought out film that proposes some things and lets the viewer decide. What I like is that the film doesn't go into the stratosphere of looniness of grand conspiracies and wild tales that seem to take over the subject with in ten years of the film's completion (There is no area 51, no Alien Bases, no warring greys and blonds, no alien implants, no huge plot of alien abductions). The film is simply the evidence and theories of that are revealed by photos and scientists doing research. It's a super film that is intelligent and far from frantic. This is the film that I recommend to anyone who has an interest in the subject since it's the one film that seems to be the most grounded in reality. Worth a look if you want to see a good film on UFO's and not all of the hype that you see in recent movies, TV shows and specials
  • A classic pseudo-documentary about the aliens among us. Learn why the Bimini wall is evidence of Atlantis! Learn the last words heard form Flight 19! Dare to scoff at the evidence that Macchu Picu was alien hot spot! It's all there and more in The Outer Space Connection!
  • This explains so much! It's now, february 12, 2020! I don't see any strange things occurring on December 24, 2011. But all the rest makes perfect sense! Patty Kowing
