I am a researcher into the UFO phenomenon. Some time ago the enclosed photograph was published on the internet as a possible, real UFO crash. Obviously it is a fake. Moreover, a reader wrote that this is a frame from a Twilight Zone episode. Can you please confirm this?

Confirmed! The crashed UFO is an exact reverse image from a frame from the episode Death Ship, tree brush and all. The alien body does not appear in the episode. This prop spaceship also appeared in The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, and in the film Forbidden Planet.

Death Ship originally aired on February 7, 1963.
