Casting my mind back about sixty years ago… There was an episode of Howdy Doody about sentient balloons who were aliens from a planet hidden from Earth-based astronomers because it was always eclipsed by Earth’s moon. It was called, believe or not, “Balloona, the Planet Behind Luna.” Of course, the depiction of the aliens required no complicated special effects, a big plus for producers of inexpensive TV programming of the day.
