I'm hoping someone can help me track down a 1982 documentary called
The UFO Experience.
Here's a description of it from
MUFON Journal October 1982:
"The UFO Experience" is an excellent hour-long documentary created by San Francisco TV station KPIX and shown on that station in September. It
presents an overview of the UFO situation, and includes on camera Hynek, Klass, Lawson, Haines, and Schuessler. It selected four "typical" cases —
the Shannon Davis case (a local «pilot sighting), the Del Duca "abduction," Cash/Landrum, and the New Zealand lights.
Peter Coyote, who played the part of a UFO investigator in the movie "E.T.," served as host. Ron Lakis, the producer, avoided the sensationalism
sometimes seen in UFO programs, and insisted on keeping the show serious and credible, for the average viewer as well as for those more knowledgeable
about the subject. For example, he included Lawson's work on a psychological basis for "abduction" stories -without mentioning his birth trauma
hypothesis, feeling that BT might not seem credible to the average viewer in the brief time devoted to Lawson on the program. —Robert Wanderer

Besides the notable UFOlogists mentioned above, Bill Moore was also involved along his MJ-12 partners:
"In the late spring of 1982, [William] Moore was hired by KPIX-TV, in San Francisco, as a consultant for a UFO special. In June, Moore
brought Jaime Shandera (a television producer) and Stanton Friedman (nuclear physicist and UFO lecturer) into his research efforts. Moore supplied
KPIX-TV with a copy of the Project Aquarius Document."

I searched for this program, but the above was about all I could find on it. I'm primarily interested in this show because its coverage of the
Cash-Landrum case. This seems like a significant piece of UFO history that should be made available. I'd love to see this program. If you have more
information on
The UFO Experience, or know where to find a copy, please post details.
