The Monster That Challenged the World
This is the one that takes place around the Salton Sea - so it's monsters from the Salton Sea - in CA. The U.S. Navy conducts top secret atomic experiments and then there's an earthquake. Various Navy personnel, such as a parachutist who lands in the sea, begin to disappear. A Naval Intelligence officer (Tim Holt) begins to look into this and soon bodies are found, but the parachutist's body is all dessicated. There's also a mysterious white substance found. Autoposies reveal that the bodies have been drained of all fluids.
