Season 1 Ep.01: Beyond

The pilot of an experimental fighter jet passes mach 2 and then sees a UFO, off his wing, matching his speed. He believes that the craft will collide with his jet, so he ejects. Later, he tries to convince the authorities that he wasn’t imagining it. They finally convince him that what he saw was simply his own pen, floating in free-fall. However, after the jet’s wreckage has been retrieved, even the authorities know that the pen explanation is wrong, and that there was probably a real UFO.

Scientific speculation from the 1950s told in a science fiction format. That was the basis for this anthology of futuristic stories, hosted and narrated by Truman Bradley.

The series speculated on such things as visitors from other planets, UFO incidents, space fight, espionage, technology, and miracle drugs that could cure all ills. Stories of crackpots, who turn out to be visionaries, and eyewitnesses to the fantastic, fighting to be believed. The show also utilized experts as consultants to help keep the show within the known realm of the scientific possibilities speculated at the time.
