45 years later it's all coming to pass. Buying gold bank collapse food shortages ufo the writers were way ahead of their time. Another time they talked about the ilumaniti and other things going on now. Funny how in 1978 they predicted the future so closely. Sometimes you have to be watching and paying close attention. In other episode it's about medicinal marijuana and glaucoma along with other medical uses.interesting how the reality of movies and tv tell the future. Many things went on in the seventies that influence today. They say the simpson have predicted many thing but watching barney miller you pick up quite a few things.

Doris Roberts and Peter Hobbs
kevinolzak10 May 2014
"The Sighting" begins with Wojo's latest excuse for being tardy, spotting a cigar-shaped flying saucer over Staten Island. Capt. Donnelly (Jack Bannon) of the Air Force believes Wojo is just another crackpot, until corroborating evidence comes in from several Jersey residents, proclaiming the sighting to be nothing more than a weather balloon. Doris Roberts (second of four) plays Harriet Brauer, who wants her husband Phillip (Peter Hobbs, third of six) arrested for exchanging all their assets into gold. After careful deliberation, Harriet settles for getting her furniture back, while Harris buys one doubloon for $250 (Dietrich: "that's easy to count!"). Hobbs and Roberts would return as the Brauers in both "Wojo's Girl" and "Agent Orange."
