Deceased Areospace Worker leaves behind treasures of the Past

Back from Manhattan Beach, my buddy tells me of a deceased Aerospace Worker who had lived there since WWII (you know "The Big One"). When he died his kids came to sell all of his stuff (including said house now worth 2 mil). They were pulling out all kinds of weird electronic equipment from underneath the house, to include some type of nose cone from who knows what.
At first I asked if they had found any parts of "ET" (I'd heard that in the original script that he actually had "another body part" that glowed...) or any other "green beings" (hey it is almost "Earth Day" . But it just dawned on me....maybe he worked for one of the studios during the 50's and 60's and he was the prop man for "The Outer Limits" or some other show (yeh, like "The Time Tunnel").
Alas, The poor fellow was probably the night watchmen for a locally HQ'd Aerospace Company in Redondo Beach!!
