TV was so fascinating in those days. When the world watched the same content….. at the same time.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

And the next day at school, all the kids would be talking about a particular show we watched the night before. That shared experience is gone now.

[@ThatTempesTGuy]

And noone referred to stuff as "content" like a robot..... 😬🐑

[@ThatTempesTGuy]

​@@ChrisHansonCanada Yup... Humanity is doomed

[@gemoftheocean]

@@ThatTempesTGuy people also knew that "noone" is not a word.

[@LisaDawnn]

As a former MUFON investigator, it's so interesting to see Hynek cautiously playing on the side with the government during this time. He soon went against them and admitted, he was told to play this entire subject down with ridiculous explanations such as 'swamp gas'. He went from shill to hero in years!! The term "UFO" (unidentified flying objects) originated by a USA think-tank called Project Blue Book (to keep this phenomenon ambiguous) while the term "Flying Saucer" was earlier coined by pilot Kenneth Arnold in 1947 (weeks prior to the Roswell Incident(s)) Keep looking up!

[@billanthony7896]

LisaDawnn- "Flying Saucer" was coined by the press. All Arnold said was that the objects he observed, moved like saucers skipping across water.

[@milky55way2012]

Kenneth Arnold didn't coin the phrase, it was a reporter who did that.....Arnold said they looked like "saucers" skipping across the sky. Project Bluebook was hardly a "thinktank", since the most interesting cases were left out of the study intentionally, this fact was later discovered by researchers using a FOIA request. Bluebook was intentionally a deception to quell public interest in the subject of UFOs.

[@stefanigilligan4768]

You work for mufon thats wild you get paid good? Or is it volunteer

[@newodkin]

Hynek gets a quick cameo in Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.

[@milky55way2012]

Yes, smoking his pipe if I remember correctly.

[@RWRogers]

Watching it now. Never saw it before.

[@ishmaeldiz2995]

The fact that this video is pretty much the only thing you can find on Utube about him says alot about trying to make him look bad an cover things up

[@Nola50]

Right

[@ronl.4524]

He made himself look bad enough without any help. He was a government yes man.

[@jdsguam]

I'm positive I saw this very show back when I was just 9 yrs old. I remember watching this show often, so I had to have seen this episode. Seems so dang familiar.

[@joemariejames4757]

Nostalgic isn't it?

[@timacrow]

About 18 years after this, I met the real J. Allen Hynek. I friendly, nice guy!

[@epaddon]

It's very ironic that Peggy would have asked who Long John Nebel was in a spot where Barry Farber was appearing as an imposter because by that point in time the two of them were in direct competition with each other for the overnight talk radio audience! Barry was on WOR and Nebel (who specialized in off-beat subjects) was by this point on WNBC.

[@davidfritz1331]

I know... to hear Barry Farber's name again was such a blast from the past!

[@pcb8059]

This was done purposefully, meaning the gov must have wanted this show done.

[@jdsguam]

This is just a single episode of a game show that aired all the time with very interesting people. I watched it all the time.

[@infinidominion]

Slow drip disclosure acclimating general public consciousness

[@ishmaeldiz2995]

Yep, just to try make it look silly

[@EduardoMunguia503]

Exactly and make it a CLEAR joke of a topic that is very Real

Challenger #3 in game 1 is Barry Farber long time NYC radio personality, he also ran for NYC mayor in 1977. Knew it as soon as I heard him... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Farber

[@sherri419]

Yeah I used to listen to him on the radio back in the 1970s and 80s, I also listened to Long John Nebel (and his wife Candy Jones) who they mentioned, interestingly I remember listening to Barry Farber in the 80s (or maybe early 90s) and his guest on one of his shows was Orson Bean, Orson said he had been very depressed (even suicidal) bc he couldn't get work but then he recovered from his depression, and in recent years I have seen him on some TV shows.

[@bxdanny]

Hynek sounded quite open to the possibility that UFO's were really alien. I thought he had been a staunch debunker until some years after the date of this show.

[@carlgrove8793]

Hynek was fairly open-minded by this time. The Socorro case impressed him and a few years later after the Condon fiasco and Blue Book was shut down he wrote an excellent article for Flying Saucer Review describing how his thinking had evolved. He wasn't committed to any particular theory, he viewed the alien theory as just one of several.

[@byronzeke1826]

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me

[@arjunmoses4315]

@Byron Zeke instablaster =)

[@byronzeke1826]

@Arjun Moses i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@byronzeke1826]

@Arjun Moses It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account !

[@denp54z]

I thought Faber’s voice sounded familiar to me. I don’t recall ever seeing a photo of him but we use to hear his nighttime radio program in West Virginia when I was a kid. Wow

[@JD-kg3mx]

Bring the show back.

[@tylerweston7981]

Notice the person who actually investigates ufos doesn't get asked the questions about ufos lmao

[@darkorse9752]

This is how they try and confuse people, by mixing truth with lies from fake and real people.

Neat host mentioned The World's Fair going on, I'm sure the doctor and The air force checking all New inventions

[@PV-pu5iu]

Barry Farber!

[@pensiveowl7791]

Did the $250 per wrong answer ever increase? Seems like after 7 or 8 years the amount would have gone up.

[@billanthony7896]

To my knowledge the amount stayed the same. Maybe the person who posted these videos knows for sure.

[@totellthetruthcbs4220]

The prize money never went up during the run of the nighttime CBS series, no.

[@pensiveowl7791]

TY both for the info.

[@totellthetruthcbs4220]

D Arnold You're welcome! It is a bit strange, I agree. None of the 3 big Goodson-Todman panel shows ever increased the prize money during the CBS years (TTTT, What's My Line and I've Got a Secret). WML and IGAS were never about the prize money, which was always paltry, but TTTT had major money at stake, so you'd think that in the course of a ten year run they'd have considered increasing the prizes at some point.

[@pensiveowl7791]

TY for info. The new version playing now doesn't even mention any winnings for the contestants-that I have ever seen.

[@barbarahill4125]

I like the way but always says good night and God bless you

[@kenyongray2615]

The USA government is probably still lying about UFOs. You can almost imagine that Orson Bean was an alien from space. He was a different breed of cat. The 1964-65 World's Fair was great. our family had to wait in line for hours for some exhibit but it was worth it. Kitty actually took a drink of water. She has caught the water drinking from Tom and Orson.

[@irishchancer2687]

Trying to discredit him by putting him on a game show , that's America for you

[@ishmaeldiz2995]

Yep,, pretty much rule one of propaganda back in the day

[@MrBohuslav]

Correct names are Jay Allen Heinich and Joyce Toyoda.

[@nowvoyagerNE]

first game, contestant 1...reminds me so much of Mr. Rogers, the children's educational TV program creator....the mouth, the smile, the eyes and the shape of his face.

[@user-ne8lh2vr2t]

I read the comments about water drinking by the panelist, what's wrong with water drinking, I have water at arms length 24/7 365 days a year most doctors recommend it and long as you don't over do it like drowning yourself, also celebs who speak alot probably need it for their vocal cords and such!!!!

[@peterlindvall7671]

Spoiler alert.... They should all have a beard, to make it interesting.

[@kingtriplebbb5347]

Who ? Would have thought ( x ) yrs. Later Professor H. Would have anything too do with Close encounter of the 3rd kind. ( Sound s like the twilight-Zone)🎆🛣🌌🌎👽

[@rm2ken]

If you notice, every time Orson Bean finishes giving his choice, he always drinks water.

[@carolv8450]

I wonder if Sir Fordham Flour was gluten intolerant...

[@roy9161]

Cool

[@johngreen3543]

Orson pulls that trick many times. He is very funny, extremely smart and cagey.

[@geraldkatz7986]

About 15 years later Tom Poston will have a reoccurring role of an annoying neighbor of a woman who has an alien traveling by egg move in with her.

Some of you fans make me chuckle. Do you really think the panel is so well versed on the world, that they're experts on every catagory that comes across the stage? Their questions, with the correct answers, were written for them and provided in advance! Some of you folks are really quite silly!

[@maureen5540]

Bill Anthony and you I bet, were the one who told all the other kids Santa isn’t real.

[@frikandelthaisaus]

It's obvious that both the contestants as well as the panel members have been prepared with questions and answers. Which is fair enough but wat annoyed me a little bit is that in one episode of TTTT Bud Collyer claimed that the panel has no foreknowledge about the topics that will be discussed, which was clearly a lie.

[@jdsguam]

@@frikandelthaisaus I think I remember hearing him say that more than once.

[@frikandelthaisaus]

@@jdsguam Yes, so it was not just a clumsly way to try and hide the facts but a bold-faced lie.

[@nowvoyagerNE]

i always get the feeling that Peggy asks questions that will show off how smart she is (how much trivia she knows) rather than asking questions that are truly relevant to identifying the actual person and the deceivers.

[@billanthony7896]

nowvoyagerNE- Their questions, along with the correct answers, were written for them in advance. You don't really think they're all that smart, do you? Even if they were, the chances of them forming their thoughts so accurately, off the cuff, would be nearly unbelievable. They never stumble, they're always focused, which is how you can tell their questions were written in advance and provided for them!

[@tennissir1986]

Bill Anthony IT DOES seem that way.

[@gemoftheocean]

The questions are relevant to HER in helping to confirm or eliminate people. She's not "showing off.'

[@nowvoyagerNE]

@@gemoftheocean : bull.

[@acousticshadow4032]

Agreed, nowvoyager, but her ditzy commentary makes great cannon fodder for Orson Bean.
