In THE COSMIC MAN, a UFO crash-lands on Earth, causing great concern for the military. When a scientist is called in to examine the craft, he discovers a floating orb, hoverin about six feet off the ground. Not surprisingly, the military views it as a weapon.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to anyone, the orb's occupant (John Carradine) is silently creeping about, causing panic. At first, he spends his time as a shadow figure (aka: a superimposed negative image), eventually taking on a human appearance.
Uh oh!
The military can't leave well enough alone, and decides to take control of the spaceship. This causes the mysterious visitor to reveal his agenda.
This is another movie, like STRANGER FROM VENUS, that owes much of its existence to THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. The same, basic idea runs through all three films. The biggest difference here is that COSMIC MAN just isn't as interesting or exciting...
