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.

I had to check if I had it already in my collection and I got Beatrice.
Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have uploaded this if I'd have bothered to searched for the romaji and not just the English title!
Arigato, Hein-san!
