The Lost Missile (1958)

 The Lost Missile (1958) 

A rocket apparently of extra-terrestrial origin threatens to destroy 

mankind by circling the earth at low altitudes and generating a million 

degree heat five miles wide incinerating everything in its path It's 

up to scientist Dr. David Loring (Robert Loggia) to formulate a 

last-ditch plan to save the world.

Clocking in at about 70 minutes with a lot of stock footage and 

less than spectacular special effects, "Lost Missile" is still 

an underrated B-movie classic which manages to use that stock 

footage and shoestring budget to great effect. (IMDB  r-brasher)
