Actor David Soul died at age 80 this week, and while most people will remember him for his role in the TV series, Starsky and Hutch -- and for a brief but popular singing career -- few may recall his role in a movie about UFOs. In 1974, a low-budget TV movie entitled, The Disappearance of Flight 412 premiered on the NBC TV Network. Starring Glenn Ford and several other familiar actors, one of the characters who portrayed an Air Force pilot was David Soul. |

Adding to the intrigue regarding production of the film, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) of Arizona, then one of the oldest private UFO organizations in the world, provided purportedly real photos of UFOs, and these were displayed as part of the story.
The Disappearance of Flight 412 has long ago faded into the background, probably because of its obvious minimal budget and lack of aliens with laser weapons threatening the planet, but once the viewer understands that there's real -- frightening -- history here, the production takes on a different value for us.
David Soul's role was no more or less noteworthy than that of the other actors, but the fact that he took on this project, primarily a showplace for Glenn Ford, who himself was a military officer and already held views about UFOs, should be of interest particularly to those interested in UFO history. I just wanted you to know.
