In another twilight Zone episode, the same ship footage was used, but
run upside down. And the model of the ship was used in the episode
featuring Agnes Moorehead who turned out to be a giant on another
planet, while the small spaceship was from earth.

It's not at all uncommon to see a well-known actors in their early days
in an episode of "The Twilight Zone" from the 50's and 60's. Yesterday
I watched the episode "Third From the Sun", which first aired on 8
January 1960. There was one actor I recognised right away, though I
don't recall his name, and possibly a second. Then, towards the end,
there was something else I regognised: A spaceship. It was circular and
wedged like a discus, with a dome at the centre of the top, and four
landing legs. The actors all ran up the staired gangway and then raised
it, and I was pretty sure what I was looking at. Then there the scene
turned to the ship's interior with a 3-dimensional celestial navigation
system at the centre and a binocular microscope head for a viewer, and
I was certain.
It was the spaceship from "Forbidden Planet". Sadly, Robbie the Robot
did not make an appearance, but he did show up recently in an episode
of "Big Bang Theory".
