Kevin Curran is a documentary director, cinematographer and producer best known for Beyond Blue Sky: The Untold Story of the First Private Astronauts, a feature about the Scaled Composites team that built SpaceShipOne. The film runs about an hour and a half, is distributed on Apple TV and Amazon Prime, and credits Curran as director and as a producer alongside the test pilot Brian Binnie and Jonathan Binnie.

The documentary follows the small Mojave Desert team led by Burt Rutan as it built a private crewed spaceplane and won the $10 million Ansari X Prize in 2004, with interviews including Binnie, Mike Melvill, Rutan and project engineer Matt Stinemetze. Curran has described his crew as Emmy-nominated, with "a proven space pedigree" from filming milestones for Blue Origin, SpaceX, Astrobotic and NASA. The film is dedicated to Binnie and Melvill.

Its UAP relevance comes from Binnie. On December 17, 2003, he flew SpaceShipOne's first powered flight, which ended in a hard landing that damaged the craft. In the film he recounts waking around 4 a.m. six days later to about a dozen translucent, glowing orbs in his backyard, two of which, he said, passed through his bedroom window and into his chest. He called it "the most incredible thing I ever witnessed." According to Curran, Binnie had told dozens of colleagues over the years, first told him in 2020, and gave his first on-record account in the film. Binnie flew the prize-winning flight on October 4, 2004, and passed away in 2022.

In 2026 Curran took the story to UAP-focused outlets. In May he explained to Ross Coulthart on NewsNation's Reality Check why he found Binnie credible, and in September he and Stinemetze joined the former Navy pilot Ryan Graves on the new Americans for Safe Aerospace podcast. Promoting the episode, Graves wrote that astronaut UAP sightings were "just the tip of the iceberg." Through the film and those interviews, Curran brought a firsthand account from one of the first private astronauts into the public UAP record.
