Phantom From Space
1953 1 hour 13 minA 1953 black-and-white indie sci-fi that follows FCC agents probing radio interference after a suspected saucer crash in the San Fernando Valley, where witnesses report a radioactive figure in a strange suit. The “man” proves to be a humanoid alien who’s invisible without his spacesuit, prompting a citywide manhunt that ends at Los Angeles’s Griffith Observatory. There, a lab assistant reveals he’s visible under ultraviolet light; the alien tries to communicate by tapping a code, but with his breathing gas depleted he becomes trapped atop the telescope platform, falls, briefly turns visible, and then evaporates.
