Nursing a bad cold I'm watching a film from 1980 called Hangar 18.
Its an interesting flick that reminds me of an extended X-Files episode. It has the hue of Capricorn One as well from 1977.
An even bigger X link is the presence of Darren McGavin, none other than Kolchak, he of the brilliant 1970's TV series that Chris Carter has cited as an inspiration for the X-Files!
I'm enjoying the film and the spacecraft at its dark heart is really impressive to look at. It looks like a huge black throne sat on an upturned black plate.
I know I've seen something similar.
The screw-off lid of alien or sci-fi jar or canister keeps coming into my head!
The Tesseract jar top? No.
What about the upturned base of the Palitoy Hoth Radar cannon? We're getting close.
There's something else that looks like that Hangar 18 ship. I know there is. A cake tin, a jelly mould?
What?

I'm watching X The Unknown now!
