The Holloman Landing: How a 1974 Documentary Sequence Became a Modern UFO Myth

To the point

The Holloman Air Force Base alien‑landing story began as a staged sequence in a 1974 Rod Serling‑narrated documentary, was claimed later to be genuine footage by Robert Emenegger and Allan Sandler and amplified by Jacques Vallée and James Fox, but official records show no encounter and no verifiable film exists, and the tale endures as a myth born in editing rooms amid 1970s desert mysticism and Cold War paranoia.
