Author George Dyson spins the story of Project Orion, a massive, nuclear-powered spacecraft that could have taken us to Saturn in five years. His insider’s perspective and a secret cache of documents bring an Atomic Age dream to life.
The clarity isn't the best but it's still worth watching. With host Bryant Gumbel.
On December 9, 1965, an object landed near Kecksburg, Pa. It was observed as a fireball in the sky across several U.S. states and Canada. Witnesses provided signed statements and independent, corroborated descriptions of the object and its location. Firefighters, reporters and a radio news director described a military presence at the crash site — and some saw a military truck quickly leaving with a large, tarpaulin-covered object. At the scene, officials told residents a meteor crashed. But the next day, the U.S. government declared nothing fell ... or was found. What really happened? What is the truth? No matter what fell that night, the public's right to know remains undiminished. Now, with new witness accounts and a breakthrough forensic study done at the site by scientists, we reveal fascinating new scientific evidence in this exclusive SCI FI DECLASSIFIED special. We take viewers to the actual site, and to a town-hall meeting moderated by host Bryant Gumbel.

In the brand-new making-of/behind-the-scenes/teaser reel for Predators, Rodriguez explains why now is the time to rescue these man-killing masters of mayhem from their woeful Alien-battling spin-off flicks and put them back on center stage with the help of director Nimród Antal (2007’s decent thriller Vacancy) and a cast that includes Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne, who are on hand to lead a posse of mercenaries on a far-off planet where they become the prey. Or, as Rodriguez explains, “This planet is a game preserve and we’re the game.” Sounds pretty sweet, right? Well, we have some very fond memories of the 1987 Ah-nuld original and, like we said, the first sequel, too. But let’s be honest: Rodriguez is going to have to really come through on this thing to erase all the damage that’s been done in the name of the Predator race since then. Personally, we have our fingers crossed. Predators hits theaters in July.
