Never mind that "The Cage" pilot with Jeffrey "Captain Pike" Hunter had been filmed in December 1964, almost two years earlier: Sept. 8th is now officially Star Trek's birthday date for all needs and occasions, foreign and domestic.
So, to celebrate, here's a treat and a blooper—a scene from either "Obsession" or "Immunity Syndrome," an actual frame cut from one of the original clips from film-can trims that Gene and Majel's Lincoln Enterprises used to sell to the kids, just to make ends meet.
You're welcome!
* From statement of various Trek writers: "It's Gene's sandbox; he just lets us play in it."

Happy Birthday to our beloved Star Trek! May it have another 44 years and more!
I think that might indeed be "Obsession"; perhaps from the scene where Spock and McCoy confront Kirk in his quarters to question him about his chasing the "Vampire Cloud of Argus X".
As for the film clips - they're in a box somewhere, but I still have about 100 of them, mounted in half-size frames. Those were the days, eh, when the film clips, an occasional audio cassette, and our fanzines were all we had to sustain us between re-runs.
