A UFO smashes into Stage 14 on the Manka Bros. Studios lot in Burbank and just as quickly disappears. This blurry photo taken by Simeon Manka is the only proof of the event.

This Day in Manka Bros History – September 14, 1955:
Four hundred extras from the set of the 1955 film ‘Fellow Travelers’ disappeared into the Burbank mountains. During the filming of a ‘long march’-type scene in which thousands of Communists supposedly fled to Russia through a mountain pass (the Burbank mountains were used as a substitute), the extras went missing and were never heard from again. Several witnesses describe a purple and yellow glow or aura appearing over the mountain right before the disappearance. The mystery has never been solved.
