the cosmic man (1959)

Military radar over the US pick up strange and fast moving craft. At the same time reports come in that there is a strange globe like object found floating in a canyon. Colonel Matthews (Paul Langton) and Dr. Karl Sorenson (Bruce Bennett) are sent to investigate, staying at a local woman's b & b. There then develops the age old military vs scientist routine, all watched by the mysterious cosmic man (John Carradine) who watches. Then decides he may as well check into the b & b himself!
The usual 50's theramin heavy alien sci-fi that's basically an inferior remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Enjoyable if into people spouting pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo. Or aliens in bottle bottom glasses, such a great disguise!
