Architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed the flying saucer in the original film. Agents from the newly created CIA were present on the set. Frank Lloyd Wright was a student of Gurdjieff. The story was rumored to have been inspired by Gurdjieff’s book All & Everything, which is about an alien’s return to Earth in UFO, and the stories her tells his grandson about human condition along the way. The film was a dire warning about nuclear weapons.
