Billy Cox reports on the work of UFO culture critic
Robbie Graham, author of the book, Silver Screen Saucers:
Quote from the article:
“Graham waded even deeper into those daunting waters
by exploring television plotlines, along with some fairly brazen
script-tampering by unseen hands.
Classic example: In a single episode called “Project
UFO” during the 1958-59 run of the NBC series “Steve Canyon,” the eponymous
cartoon-strip jet-fighter pilot goes gung-ho over a UFO encounter. Problem: the
show is produced with U.S. Air Force resources. And, according to a quoted
historian, this one “was an episode the Air Force did not really want to be
aired.” Consequently, “Canyon’s excitement about UFOs is replaced with
skepticism or plain indifference,” writes Graham. Adds a producer from the
“Steve Canyon” estate: “Every single page got rewritten and rewritten and
rewritten.”
