According to the CIA, this film was made for family members of those working on the U-2 spy plane to inform them about the remote location and difficulty of working at Area 51, a U.S. military installation in Nevada. The film tells the story of the design, manufacture, and testing of the top secret U-2 plane between 1954 and 1960. “Angel” was a code word for the plane, which could fly at over 70,000 feet, and “Paradise” was a nickname for Area 51, which was a harsh desert setting with hot summers and cold winters. It is believed that sightings of the secret U-2 flights in Nevada were the source of many 1950s and 1960s UFO stories. close
