Created by Harold Jack Bloom and Jack Webb, Project U.F.O. is a Sci-fi / crime drama genres, which explores the intriguing and mysterious topic of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The series reflects the cultural climate of its time, capturing the fascination with the unexplained and the quest for answers in a period marked by a surge in UFO sightings and the growing popularity of conspiracy theories.

With the feel of “true crime” dramas, that started in the 80s, Project U.F.O. revolves around a fictional division within the United States Air Force, tasked with investigating UFO sightings and encounters. The show follows the efforts of two officers, Captain Ben Ryan (Edward Winter) and Sergeant Harry Fitz (Caskey Swaim), as they investigate various UFO-related incidents. Their mission is to evaluate the validity of the sightings, determine whether there is a scientific explanation, and keep the truth hidden from the public when necessary (X-files fans should like this).

Each episode, following police investigation procedures (of the time), presents a new case for our personable military detectives. Captain Ryan and Sergeant Fitz collect evidence and hear eyewitness accounts of UFOs, discovering both government cover-ups, and encounters with extraterrestrial beings. The late 1970s saw a fascination with the unknown and Project U.F.O. in its storytelling combination of mystery, suspense, and scientific inquiry gave the public what it craved.

Today the internet is rife with reports and stories of unexplainable phenomena. Project U.F.O. predates everyone having such access to information, but you’ll find similar stories being highlighted.

The story premise is pretty simple. The hereditary owner of the summer camp decides to reopen the long closed location after years of neglect. It’s 1980 and he has advertised for some summer counselors who are willing to help him with a few repairs and set up to get the camp going. We discover that the nearest community is against the campsite reopening, they consider it cursed after first, a boy drowned in the lake in 1957, then two counselors were brutally murdered the following season. The camp has remained closed since. (Spoiler alert!! – Do not read further if you have never seen this movie, watch it instead).

We see one of the would-be counselors attacked just outside the camp and then we are introduced to the other counselors and the new owner Steve Christy played by Peter Brouwer. The sky is darkening with what appears to be an impending storm and Steve leaves to grab some more supplies. As the others are cleaning up Ned (Mark Nelsen) notices someone lurking around the building and wanders off to investigate.

Everyone else heads indoors, and a bored Jack (Kevin Bacon, pre Footloose) and Marcie (Jeannine Taylor) sneak off to have sex in the bunk house. Unbeknownst to them the corpse of Ned lies above them with it’s throat slashed. Marcie gets up to use the bathroom and as Jack is lying in his bunk in the afterglow an arrow is shot through his throat from beneath the bed. The murderous fiend then follows Marcie into the bathrooms and attacks her with an axe. The viewer is kept on their seat as the killer is neither revealed or identified.

Brenda (Laurie Bartram) hears a voice calling for help and goes out to investigate. She goes to the archery range and is blinded when the lights are suddenly turned on. Next we see Steve returning, it is well after dark. He sees the killer and amicably engages in conversation, only to be shockingly stabbed. Alice our heroine, played by Adrienne King and Bill, the straight laced counselor, played by Harry Crosby (Bing’s son) are now alone in the clubhouse and begin to wonder about their absent friends. Investigating, they find the phone lines down, that Ned’s truck won’t start and an axe in Brenda’s bed. Then the power goes out. Bill heads to the generator, while Alice runs inside. The window is smashed as Brenda’s body is hurled through it. Shortly thereafter Alice hears a vehicle and runs out expecting Steve. She meets a middle-aged woman Mrs. Voorhees who says how she knows Steve and his family well, that she used to work at the camp. She continues on about how her son drowned in the lake, because the counselors who were supposed to watch him were making out. She attacks Alice who fights back, knocking her unconscious. Their struggle ends up lakeside where Alice was trying to escape the camp. This time Mrs. Voorhees has a machete and when Alice gets a hold of it, she decapitates her attacker. Alice then collapses into a canoe and drifts out onto the serene lake.

Just when we think it is over…a grisly hand of rotten flesh comes up from the water and grabs at Alice. We next see her surrounded by medical staff and police asking about Jason. The cop explains that no boy was found, and she lays back defeated, saying then he is still out there.

It was written by Lily Tomlin’s real life partner (wife) Jane Wagner. The film takes gives us a feminist portrayal of the typical suburban housewife and mother as overworked and under valued. Lily’s title character is exposed to a combination of chemicals brought home by her husband for testing so he can develop a marketing strategy for them. The unforeseen effect is that she starts shrinking uncontrollably. She gains some celebrity status, but is then kidnapped by mad scientists who want to reproduce the shrinking agent. She escapes finally and falling into a puddle of other random household chemicals regains her original size. The film ends with her wedding ring and shoes fitting too tightly suggesting that she is still growing.
