 FACT: The Magnetic North Pole is not located under the Geographic  North Pole, which is where the UFO returns in the film to "recharge  its batteries" from the Earths magnetic field. Science had  acknowledged this at least two decades before 1959, which was when  the film had been released. How do I know? I saw a 1939 map of the  world which showed the Magnetic North Pole in Northern Canada. More  current maps show it shifting a bit (possibly as a sign of polarity  reversal in the Earths magnetic field) to the north of Canada.
