...snow all winter. A Fox executive quoted by Reuters "noted that an enormous snow storm along the East Coast crippled business for all movies." That makes sense. Cities from the Carolinas to New York were carpeted in a foot to two feet of the white stuff, making traveling ill-advised; and some folks planning a Saturday night at the movies, especially The Big Movie, might have stayed home.

That didn't deter conference organizer Allen Hynek, founder of the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Ill., and a tireless campaigner to legitimize the field of "UFOlogy." "We need to stop arguing the existence of eggs and get down to cooking the omelet," he told TIME that year. (See the mankind's greatest explorations and adventures...
