The surgence of alien invasion movies in the 50's can be mainly attributed to
two factors: (1) the public's cold war anxiety and paranoia; and (2) the
public's increased awareness, curiousity and anxiety over UFO phenomena
that started with a film taken by an observer in Washington State featuring
a supposed formation of "flying saucers" in July 1947; followed the next
month by an alledged alien spacecraft crash outside of Roswell, New Mexico. - AH
