Lost Contact: UFOs After Wartime

Lost Contact: UFOs After Wartime is a 2025 Small Town Monsters documentary that digs into a wave of WWII UFO sightings and the tragic 1948 chase that claimed Kentucky Air National Guard pilot Thomas Mantell Jr. Through declassified records, interviews, and rare footage, it pieces together the high-stakes mystery that followed Allied airmen long after the war ended.

Releasing October 7 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video and Vimeo on Demand, the film not only revisits Mantell’s final mission but also explores the enduring ripple effect his loss had on family, fellow veterans, and the ongoing hunt for answers in the skies.
