Bonus Video! - IBM Presents: "UFO Friend, Foe, or Fantasy - 1966 CBS Documentary" I occasionally exercise my position as usually benevolent list dictator to point out materials that may be off-topic for this list, but still of special importance or with notable enjoyment potential. So herewith I'll mention a video that popped up on YouTube earlier this month. It appears to be a network reference print of a 1966 CBS documentary on UFOs, and is simply wonderful to behold, particularly in its willingness to speak plainly about science vs. superstition. Narrated by Walter Cronkite, and with its IBM commercials and announcement bumpers intact (Timesharing! Western Electric 103 dialup modems!), it's an example of the high point of network television news operations, before they turned into nothing more than adjuncts of entertainment programming. Enjoy!
