And then there was that time Bill (reportedly) saw a UFO.


From a 1974 UFO magazine article about celebrity sightings of things…not of this world.

  1. Well, I guess it wasn’t a Federation Starship, as that would be a violation of the Prime Directive. God I’m a nerd when that’s the first think I think on reading this.

  2. Roy Thinnes supposedly claimed (I acknowledge the possibility that a tabloid journalist distorted his words) that the cancellation of THE INVADERS was really an act of suppression by the government, because the show was too close to the truth.

  3. Did they get the story from him at the same time the picture was taken? If so, did they think to check what the Captain was smoking there at the time?

  4. If he was rescued ‘moments later’ then he was, what, 100 feet from help? They probably said “Look left idiot, there’s a lemonade stand right next to you. Oh yeah, and next time fill the tank.”
