Plot
editThis documentary explores the controversial ancient astronauts theory that extraterrestrials explored the Earth in the distant past. These extraterrestrials had a profound effect on the creation of human life and the founding of civilization after which they left mankind to evolve on its own with a promise they would return at a future date for an unknown purpose.
Production
editLandsburg created two other television documentaries dealing with the ancient astronaut subject. In Search of Ancient Astronauts and In Search of Ancient Mysteries both produced in 1973. All three projects were narrated by Rod Serling. The Outer Space Connection was based on a book by the same name, also written by Landsburg and published by Bantam Books. The documentary was both directed and written by Fred Warshofsky, who also wrote and directed the previous film In Search of Ancient Mysteries. Parts of the film were shot in Park City, Utah.[1] The film was released by Sunn Classic Pictures who also released the documentary film, Chariots of the Gods, in 1970. This film was released on VHS during the 1980s and is also found on many video sharing sites on the internet.
