FIRST MAN INTO SPACE (1959)

The first pilot to leave Earth's atmosphere lands, then vanishes; but something with a craving for blood prowls the countryside. Navy test pilot Lieut. Dan Prescott, inexperimental rocket plane Y-13, disobeys orders and becomes the first man to fly outside the ionosphere. Unable to turn, he ejects and is plastered with metallic meteor dust. The pilot compartment lands with no trace of the pilot. Soon, cattle, then people, are found with their throats cut as if with an axe. Director: Robert Day. Cast: Marshall Thompson, Marla Landi, Bill Edwards and Robert Ayres.
