Phantom from Space (1953) is an independently made American science‑fiction horror film produced and directed by W. Lee Wilder. The story begins after a mysterious UFO crash causes massive radio interference across the San Fernando Valley. Investigators soon discover that the disturbance is linked to a humanoid alien whose spacesuit renders him visible — but without it, he becomes completely invisible.<br /><br />As authorities pursue the alien through Los Angeles, they learn he is not hostile but stranded, unable to communicate and running out of the special gas he needs to breathe. Cornered at the Griffith Observatory, the alien attempts to signal for help, but ultimately dies when his life‑support supply is depleted. The film is characteristic of early‑1950s low‑budget sci‑fi, produced by Wilder and his son Myles on a financing‑for‑distribution model with United Artists. <br /><br />Film Details<br />Title: Phantom from Space<br />Year: 1953<br />Genre: Science Fiction / Horror<br />Director: W.
