The principal character is Chop, played by Los Angeles Examiner journalist Tom Towers, and examines his career going from skeptical USAF public information officer to Pentagon UFO press spokesman. The film uses only one professional actor, Harry Morgan, in a voiceover part. UFO witnesses Delbert Newhouse, Nicholas Mariana, and Willis Sperry play themselves, and Los Angeles policemen stand in for Ruppelt, Fournet, and Gen William Garland. The Air Force carefully monitors its reception and readies itself to counter the film’s impact. The docu analyzes two famous pieces of UFO footage: the Montana film of 1950 and the 1952 UFO Utah film (both shown for the first time in public). It concludes with the famous 1952 Washington, D.C., UFO incident, in which Chop played a central role, and recreates his experiences. At the end, Chop states his belief that UFOs are a real, physical phenomenon of unknown origin.

The April 7 1952 issue of Life Magazine had Marilyn Monroe on the cover, not Harry Truman. It was her first magazine cover. It was the U.F.O. issue though, with the blurb for it in the upper right corner, as shown in the film.
The July 1, 1952 issue of Look magazine did not have Eisenhower on the cover as depicted, but a group of six pictures. One was of an Air Force fighter plane with the same blurb as the film's magazine: 'Flying Saucers - The Hunt Goes On'.
