2. The Day The Earth Stood Still was released on September 18, 1951.

I posted three threads about it yesterday in various fora and groups at DU, as July 18, 1951, was the day that Klaatu and Gort landed on the Ellipse.

It's my favorite movie.

This incident was portrayed in another movie, one that you can watch for free.

UFO (1956 film)

By 1952 Chop has moved to Washington, D.C., where he is the press spokesman for Project Blue Book. The documentary analyzes two famous pieces of UFO footage: the Mariana UFO Incident of 1950, in which the manager of the Great Falls, Montana minor-league baseball team claimed to have filmed two UFOs flying over the local baseball stadium, and the 1952 UFO film taken near the Great Salt Lake in Utah by a US Navy photographer, Delbert Newhouse. The documentary concludes with the famous 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident, in which Albert Chop played a central role. The documentary recreates Chop's experiences during the incident, and at the end of the documentary Chop states his belief that UFOs are a "real", physical phenomenon of unknown origin.
