But what about the people and property on the ground? Are the folks in Montana somehow more important than Alaskans? :)

Great 1950’s si-fi movie. James Arness (The Thing) is inside that craft.

How many people and how much property is located a couple hundred miles (or whatever the distance is) northeast of Prudhoe Bay on the frozen sea?

They always bring Kirby in when they need some really excellent lying over defense related stuff.

I have flown from Elmendorf to Prudhoe and then on another couple of hours (Cold War, pre-GPS using celestial grid navigation) — it is barren, desolate, empty. The RC-135 we refueled continued on after we turned back.

A report just said it was at 40,000 feet, that pretty high for a bush plane.

I generally do not like remakes, as the originals are generally much better. However, this remake was actually pretty good.

"Pentagon has shot down an unidentified object over Alaska"

No, eastern Montana has plenty of ranches and homesteads especially close to the Yellowstone.

Yeah, it was a pretty creepy movie. Still good after all these years.
