Cthulhu for president! Why choose the lesser evil?

Apparently, in the 50s the USAF almost engaged a UFO. Note that the radar signature was the size of an aircraft carrier. Now, if it had been the size of a battleship, we all know what THAT would have been.

The Giant Claw, based on a true story. Who'd have thunk?

Not sure why this is being reported now. There were a whole bunch of these types of reports in the late 50s and early 60s, and there was a real UFO craze. Jack Webb did a TV show (called "Project UFO") about the Air Force's Project Blue Book that was supposedly investigating them.

The UK government is releasing the official files from back then, so now a number of cases are being confirmed.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
