It's way earlier than that. It was one of the classic stories. In a nutshell, there's this ship stranded in a huge desert. The original idea for the story was ships disappearing but the BBC said "no water" and they had to change it. So the new story was "let's dump a ship in the middle of a desert". Spoiler: there's basically a huge alien creature under the sand, pulling in the ships and eating them.

God knows what it was. I've been searching on the Wiki... God knows haha.
