## **That's a UFO! The Flying Saucer - これがＵＦＯだ！ 空飛ぶ円盤** #### Kore ga UFO da! Soratobu Enban --- While catag/updating all of the Great Mazinger short films, I found a copy of this in an old folder from 200X. It was masquerading as a Grendizer short in my "Mazinger Movies" folder. Turns out it ~~isn't related to super robots in any way~~ is only tangentially related to the world of Mazinger, **_and it is amazing!_** It is a short piece of infotainment about early UFO encounters, and is exactly the kind of weird 70's anime shtuff I love to find. Anyway, here's a cleaned-up higher-quality version I found as presented by [Oshan Ruiz](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGjuv6O2HgbbYioQi8Rbh9wm) > **UPDATE:** Per Hein-san: **There's a BEATRICE BD rip of this over at https://nyaa.iss.one/view/936987** Per Mulder: This movie is prologue to UFO Robo Grendizer. It get bluray as part of [MAZINGER THE MOVIE Blu-ray 1973-1976]. Bonus disc of this collection has it. Sadly, it’s just upscale, but better than dvd at least. **_TLDR: WTF? Anime alien docu-short from Mar 21, 1975! And it's by the makers of Mazinger!?_**  So, I tried to find out more about this anime short and all I have is from Anime-Planet: >UFOs and aliens from beyond the stars are common themes in media, entertainment, and other forms of science fiction; however, many individuals have sworn they have seen UFOs and have been abducted in real life! Sit back and watch as the makers of Mazinger take you on a journey through the history of UFO lore. Could it be that UFOs are real and that aliens watch us from afar? In the end, only you can be the judge. Time: 15:31 Lang: JPN Subs: ENG
