George, passing a pretty woman in the street, has recourse to that old-time trick of dropping his own handkerchief and hurrying after her, making believe that he thinks it is hers. On examining the handkerchief, the beauty returns it, telling George that it does not belong to her. He then confesses that he knows very well that it is not her property, as it happens to be his own, and his offering it to her was only an excuse to make her acquaintance, so struck was he by her beauty. Upon this frank declaration the young woman draws herself up haughtily, but George is not to be discouraged, but follows closely behind her, ready to be of any assistance on the slightest pretext. We therefore see him arriving at the lady's house laden down with such articles as a lampshade, a statuette, a bunch of roses, a bundle of dress goods, and, in addition, leading an enormous dog on a leash, against whose attacks he is endeavoring to protect himself.

...as David Icke, Jaime Maussan, Marcus Allen and Valery Uvarov spoke, the veil of secrecy at NASA, the sordid history of the ex NAZI SS Officers at the heart of the Apollo Space Missions and the interplay of Masonic symbolism in the names of rockets and spacecraft all started to become frighteningly clear. Chris Everard presents what can only be described as the most startling UFO footage ever seen. The Space Serpents flying around the upper atmosphere have to be seen to be believed. What's more, is that all the UFO clips come direct from NASA - filmed by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle! I must admit that I originally thought the premise for this film was ridiculous. Two hours later, I found myself staring blankly at the end credits. My phone rang unanswered. I lit my first cigarette for 20 years and realised that some kind of Alien Invasion is happening.
