Synopsis:

Navy test pilot Lieut. Dan Prescott, in experimental 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... but first cattle, then people, are found with their throats cut as if with an axe, by something that seems to have a craving for blood...

A cocky Navy test pilot, working for the US Space Program, defies orders and takes a test rocket out of course, 250 miles into space, because he wants to be the first man in space. Out there he hits a bizarre meteor shower and crash lands to earth, transformed into a bloodsucking, alien monster.

Young pilot flies out into outer space, has an accident and is presumed dead. But, in reality, he comes back to earth in a horribly mutilated form, searching for blood. His brother tries to help him but the pilot dies.
