   Distant Early Warning is a shot-on-video 1975 TV movie originally broadcast on   
   ABC's "Wide World of Mystery".  ABC wiped the original tape in 1978 along with   
   many others in the series.  At least one broadcast copy existed in Australia   
   but it has not been    
   seen since it last aired on station WIN4 in 1988.  No extant copies are   
   currently known to exist and the film is likely lost.
