Day 10 :Stranger At the Pentagon-Craig Campobasso-Filmmaker

Join me in conversation with Filmmaker Craig Campobasso as we talk about the his upcoming film and the true story that inspired "Stranger At the Pentagon"

INSPIRED by TRUE EVENTS!

"The landing of Valiant Thor was perhaps the first documented landing of a human-type alien by military officials. He met with President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon for an hour, then the alien was put on VIP status and shuttled back to the Pentagon."  --Harley Byrd, Project Blue Book, United States Air Force

"Stranger at the Pentagon" is inspired by True Events from the book of the same name. It was first published in 1967. It remains a UFO classic to date.

Our story begins when Thor lands on Earth in his technological wonder "Victor One" on Saturday, March 16, 1957 at 8:00 AM. President Eisenhower, Vice President Richard Nixon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff--all rush to the Oval Office to meet with the extraterrestrial. When Thor explains his presence, the men ponder his endless technological possibilities. They contemplate their future strategy either using friendship or force to gain control. Thor’s three year invitation to reside at the Pentagon under VIP status begins.
