Prominent citizens of a town report seeing a UFO. Investigators, however, cannot get information from them and turn to an 11-year-old boy.

00:00This is the wheel he said he saw.
00:29These are unidentified flying objects that people say they are seeing now.
00:36Are they proof that we are being visited by civilizations from other stars?
00:41Or just what are they?
00:44The United States Air Force began an investigation of this high strangeness in a search for the
00:50truth.
00:51What you are about to see is part of that 20 year search.
02:21It didn't take long for the tourists to get here.
02:36Welcome to Saucerville, U.S.A.
02:51Hey, Army, how's it going?
02:59Mr. Earl Clay?
03:00Me?
03:01Are you kidding?
03:02Mr. Clay?
03:03Yeah?
03:04Howdy.
03:05Earl Clay?
03:06That's right.
03:07This is Jim Pulver.
03:08Desert Weekly Herald.
03:09What are you doing with that thing?
03:10It's a tape recorder, sir.
03:11I can see that.
03:12Turn it off if you're planning on talking to me.
03:13This is Harry Fitz.
03:14My name's Gatlin.
03:15Foreign Technology Division of the Air Force.
03:16Oh, sure, sure.
03:17We've been expecting somebody like you.
03:18Major, the Air Force have an opinion on what's happened here in Joshua Flats?
03:19Just got here, Mr. Pulver.
03:20We're here in regard to this photograph, which appeared in a Los Angeles paper yesterday.
03:21Yeah, that's it.

04:59It's been here for a while.
05:00It's been here for a while.
05:01Yeah, it was a real break.
05:02Earl called down to Sheriff's Station at the county seat.
05:05I have a friend there who does me favors.
05:07See, I also work as a stringer for one of the wire services.
05:10There you are.
05:11Polaroid.
05:12Yeah, same as you can buy anywhere.
05:13Anything wrong with that?
05:15This type of camera doesn't have a negative.
05:17We were hoping you'd have one.
05:19We'd like to examine it.
05:20What's the difference?
05:21Picture's a picture, isn't it?
05:22Yes, sir.
05:23Mr. Clay, I wonder if you could take us to the location where you saw this object.
05:27Jim, I'm supposed to meet Tom Fairley.
05:30Call and tell him I'll be out at the associate place with these two fellows from the Air Force.
05:34He can meet me there or wait till I get back, whichever.
05:36Right.
05:37Come on, I'll drive.
06:01Tom!
06:03Tom!
06:05Tom!
06:31Well, that's it.
06:34Where were you when you took the picture?
06:36About here.
06:37A couple yards closer, back.
06:39I'm not sure.
06:44Excuse me, partner.
06:47The thing came flat down and left straight up.
06:51Mr. Clay, can you tell us from beginning to end everything you saw?
06:55Well, I could, all right, but no tape recorder.
06:58Sergeant Pitts will take notes.
07:00My lawyer tells me that there's magazines and maybe TV pay good money for something like this.
07:05Yes, sir, I'm sure they will.
07:06But we'll just file an official Air Force report for our files only.
07:10Okay.
07:12Just as long as you remember that I've got my rights.
07:15Now, let's see.
07:17I left Barney Tomlinson's place about 11.15 or so.
07:21Is that the El Dorado Barn Grill?
07:22Yeah, Barney's got a room in the back.
07:24You know, it's handy for eats and drinks while we play.
07:27Well, anyway, I was on my way home when all of a sudden I see this light in the sky.
07:34It was just a light, you know, stretched out like a long oval.
07:39I figured it for playing, first off, but they usually have those lights that blink on and off.
07:49As it came down, I see how huge it was.
07:52Maybe a hundred feet long, and it was sure gonna land close by somewhere.
07:58I saw it coming down in the hills, and I heard it.
08:02I'll tell you, for a minute there, I wanted to turn my car around and get out of there.
08:06But I guess I wanted more to see what it was than I saw it.
08:57Hmm.
09:03Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid.
09:07You cannot move now, but you will not be harmed.
09:11We have only come to study and to observe.
09:15Tell the others of your kind that we will return soon, and we will breed others of our kind.
09:24There is nothing to fear. Nothing to fear.
09:54I just wheeled that car around, got out of there as quick as I knew how.
10:10What did you do then, sir?
10:12As soon as I reached home, I called the sheriff over at the county seat.
10:15I'm a widower. I live alone.
10:17I had to tell somebody. He said he'd look into it.
10:20He said he'd notify you people.
10:22These people you saw, they said they'd be back.
10:24That's what they said.
10:25So we set up a saucer watch every night.
10:28A saucer watch?
10:29Yeah, kind of a lookout.
10:31At least two people on duty every night to see if anything happens.
10:34The whole town's joined in, and some from out of town.
10:38You know, these Bing, or whatever they were, they had me stone cold if they wanted me.
10:45But they never made a move.
10:47Earl?
10:48Hey, Tom.
10:49Tom Fairley, major sergeant in the Air Force.
10:52Tom's the head of our town council.
10:54Job don't pay enough to be called mayor.
10:57Well, I see you fellas didn't waste any time getting out here.
11:01Earl tell you what happened to him?
11:03Yes, sir.
11:04You boys plan on being here for a while?
11:07As long as it takes us to check out all the sightings.
11:09The what?
11:10All the people who saw the UFO.
11:12Oh, well, none of them saw near as much as Earl here.
11:15Did you show them the pictures, Earl?
11:17Sure did.
11:18Well, what more do you need?
11:20As much as we can get.
11:22All the proof we can find.
11:23Major, I'm not the suspicious kind, usually.
11:27But I get the feeling you don't all together believe what's happened here.
11:31It's not our job to believe or disbelieve, Mr. Fairley.
11:34Just to prove that something happened or didn't happen.
11:37And if it did, to try to explain it.
11:39I see.
11:41Fair enough.
11:43You'll probably be needing a place at the motel if you're staying on here.
11:47If there's anything I can do to help.
11:49Yes, sir. Thank you.
11:51We'd like to spend a little more time here to check out the area.
11:54We have some equipment in your car, Mr. Clay.
12:07I told you to stay away from here, didn't I?
12:12If I find out that you've been back here,
12:14I'm gonna get Barney to whip the skin off your bottom.
12:17You hear?
12:27Well, they do have a post office.
12:29I called Wright and Patterson.
12:30I told them they'd have the photograph tomorrow.
12:32Did you tell them no negative?
12:34Yeah, they groaned, but I told them to dig out what they could.
12:36All I can tell you is, the more that gas station cowboy kept talking,
12:40the more my brown eyes turned blue.
12:42Maybe.
12:43You know, if someone on the moon had described our astronauts landing there,
12:47it might have sounded something just like that.
12:49That's what I mean.
12:51Well, never ignore the obvious.
12:53What?
12:54If there are alien beings visiting our planet,
12:56maybe they're going at it just the way we have.
12:59Come on, Major.
13:00If they're coming hundreds of millions of miles from someplace,
13:02their technology's gotta be way out compared to ours.
13:05The Graham Greene philosophy.
13:07Say again?
13:08Pretty thorough writer, Mr. Greene.
13:11He wrote, I could never believe in a god I could understand.
13:14Is that what I said?
13:16Not as well, but more or less.
13:19Yes?
13:24Major Gatlin? Major Jay Gatlin?
13:25Yes.
13:26George LaTourette, the manager.
13:28My desk clerk said you were asking for me when you checked in.
13:30Yes.
13:31Sergeant Fitz.
13:32Sergeant.
13:33Would you like to sit down?
13:35No, that's all right.
13:37Nothing wrong, I hope.
13:38Oh, no.
13:39I noticed that we were talking to Earl Clay.
13:41Yeah.
13:42Oh, Earl.
13:43Mr. Clay called you about it?
13:44No, no.
13:45I mean, yes.
13:47Oh, that is...
13:49Tom Fairley called and said you'd be coming here
13:51and I should see that you were treated right.
13:53Oh, that's very thoughtful.
13:54Mr. Clay said you were one of the people that saw the UFO
13:56about the same time he did.
13:58Well, I don't know.
14:00Well, I mean, I saw something,
14:02but I didn't know it was anything
14:04until Earl said what happened.
14:06Sir, what did you see?
14:09Just a bunch of lights in the sky.
14:11I thought it was planes.
14:12A bunch?
14:13Would that be more than two or three?
14:15Yeah, I guess.
14:17Maybe four.
14:19I was out back walking my wife's dog.
14:22Anyway, I looked up and saw these four lights moving.
14:25Like I said, I thought they were planes.
14:28Then all of a sudden they started dancing all over the sky
14:31like it was fireworks.
14:33Next thing, one of them breaks off on its own
14:35and goes zapping across the sky like...
14:37I mean, it was really moving.
14:39Really.
14:40And not a sound from any of them all that time.
14:43Is that it?
14:44Yeah.
14:45That's what I saw.
14:46Did you see one of them come down as if it was going to land?
14:49No, the dog had finished his business by then
14:51and I wanted to get to bed.
14:52I see.
14:53About what time was all this?
14:55A little after 11.
14:57Then you weren't playing poker with Mr. Clay.
14:59No, not me.
15:00Running this place is gamble enough for me.
15:03Place looked pretty full when we checked in.
15:05Picking up.
15:07Knock on wood.
15:08Well, thank you very much, Mr. Lauderette.
15:10Yeah, you bet. Anytime.
15:12Now, if there's anything you gentlemen need...
15:14Thank you very much.
15:15Okay. Night.
15:19Saw four UFOs zapping across the sky
15:22but his dog had finished his business
15:24and he wanted to go to bed.
15:26Not exactly a mountain of curiosity, is he?
15:29I'm for chow.
15:30How about you?
15:31Well, I wouldn't mind a little Ville Cordon Bleu.
15:34Settle for the Eldorado Bar and Grill.
15:36Sold.
15:37Good night.
16:03Evening.
16:05Hi.
16:07Good evening.
16:12Town's looking up.
16:19See what you want?
16:23A rare steak sandwich with coffee, please.
16:27Well done.
16:30Two steak sands, one done, one rare.
16:32I'll ask her if she has a friend.
16:34First, make sure she's a friend.
16:38Hi.
16:40I was wondering,
16:41what's a stranger do in this town after dinner?
16:44Don't know.
16:45Never been a stranger in this town.
16:49Not bad.
16:51I like her.
16:52That's half the battle.
16:54Soldier!
16:56None of my business, but that's the boss' girlfriend
16:59and the kind he is, I'd leave it alone.
17:02Follow?
17:03Sure, all the way.
17:04Then thanks.
17:05What do you mean, the kind he is?
17:07Bad temper and not much of it.
17:11Hey, Paulie!
17:13Come on in here and sit yourself down.
17:20Your mom will be back in a minute.
17:22Hey, got your favorite tonight, hamburger size.
17:26Huh?
17:27Okay.
17:35How you doing, partner?
17:38A friend here was out at that landing site this afternoon.
17:44You like flying saucers?
17:47Couldn't care less, huh?
17:48Paulie?
17:51Hi.
17:53Can you finish all your homework?
17:56Is Lou getting his supper?
17:58Hamburger size, extra on the chili.
18:01Fine.
18:03Two steak sands.
18:04Thanks.
18:11Helen?
18:12Coming!
18:13I'll be right back.
18:14Now, you remember what I told you.
18:16I don't want you to talk while you eat.
18:22Mom's gonna be kind of tough, ain't she?
18:27I don't get the impression you talk much even when you don't eat.
18:31Hey, Air Force!
18:33Didn't see you come in.
18:34Barney Colminson's my name.
18:36Like to say I've run the joint.
18:38Well, this is Harry Fitz. My name's Gatlin.
18:39Yeah, I know. I've heard about you around town.
18:43Well, what are you sitting here for?
18:44Why don't you come on back and grab a table there?
18:47Have a drink on the house.
18:49Helen, take these plates to table one, will you?
18:52Come on.
19:00Get me a cola on the rocks, will you, honey?
19:04My old man used to say, never drink to good inventory.
19:09Well, I know what's on your mind, so what can I tell you?
19:12What you told Mr. Clay.
19:14What you saw tonight, he saw the UFO land.
19:17Yeah.
19:19Well, it wasn't so much what I saw as what happened.
19:24I was in my storeroom out back.
19:26Was worried about running low on bourbon, which I was.
19:29When all of a sudden, the whole place started to shiver and shake.
19:33And I thought to myself, I've got to get out of here.
19:35I've got to get out of here.
19:36I've got to get out of here.
19:37I've got to get out of here.
19:38I've got to get out of here.
19:39I've got to get out of here.
19:40I've got to get out of here.
19:41I've got to get out of here.
19:42I've got to get out of here.
19:43I've got to get out of here.
19:44I've got to get out of here.
19:45I've got to get out of here.
19:46I've got to get out of here.
19:47I've got to get out of here.
19:48I've got to get out of here.
19:49I've got to get out of here.
19:50I've got to get out of here.
19:51I've got to get out of here.
19:52I've got to get out of here.
19:53It's me.
19:55It's me.
20:13Well, I've finally made it outside.
20:15Looked up.
20:16Nothing.
20:21Why did you look up?
20:22Well, I thought it was some nut in a plane, or maybe even you guys.
20:26You know, the Air Force tests a lot of his new stuff around here.
20:30Boy, I was mad, too. I was gonna tell somebody about it in the morning.
20:34Then I heard what happened to Earl, and it all fit.
20:37Hey, Tom.
20:39I figured I might find you here.
20:41I was just telling them what I saw.
20:43You saw bright lights. Could've been the high beam headlights of a car.
20:47I've looked into headlights before, mister. These weren't no headlights.
20:51They know that, Barney. It's just their job to be technical. Ain't that right?
20:57Part of our job. Yes, sir.
20:59Were you and Mr. Tomlinson in that poker game with Mr. Clay?
21:02Every Tuesday night, rain or shine.
21:05Then the game had broken up before you went back to the storeroom and saw what you say you saw.
21:09Yeah, that's right. It was after.
21:11I think the major's puzzled about something the same as I am.
21:14I'm a country boy myself. Come from a town no bigger than this.
21:18I don't ever remember a regular poker game calling it quits as early as 11.
21:22Well, that's our quitting time.
21:25We're a hard-working, early-rising town.
21:27Who else is in the game?
21:29Just what are you getting at, soldier?
21:31Take it easy, Barney.
21:33There's Mel Ravitch. He sells farm equipment.
21:36And Doc Talbot. Joe Huey has the used car lot.
21:38And Doug McGuire. He's a lawyer.
21:41And the game still ends at 11, gentlemen.
21:45Yes, sir.
21:46Major, this is the biggest thing that's ever happened to our town.
21:51And when you showed up here, we were glad to share it with you.
21:53We were eager to cooperate with you and our government in every possible way.
22:00But if you've come here to make us look like fools or liars,
22:03then you ain't gonna be long welcome here.
22:05We have had a celestial experience.
22:08And we don't intend to have it spoiled nor made fun of.
22:11Mr. Fairley, we're not here to pass judgment or to form opinions.
22:15Our project has looked into over 13,000 sightings.
22:18Some are pure hoaxes. About 30% are unknown.
22:22Now, we're gonna do our best to find out what category this case falls into and put it there.
22:26And if that spoils it or makes fun of it, that's too bad.
22:31I gotta go.
22:33I'll see ya.
22:36You can forget to check.
22:38But if you come back, you won't like the food.
22:46Is that all you want to tell me?
22:49I don't appreciate your insinuations, young man, and I don't have to answer your questions either.
22:53But I do have to go on living in this town, do you understand?
22:57Yes, sir.
22:59Good day to you.
23:07Spoke to the lawyer and used car dealer.
23:09Sounded like instant replay.
23:12Doc back him up?
23:14Had the feeling he didn't like it.
23:17Want a soda? Don't mind if I do.
23:29Grape?
23:29Terrific, thank you.
23:35Hey.
23:36That's a pretty good F-104.
23:40Miss?
23:42Yeah?
23:43Is this for sale?
23:44No.
23:45My brother makes them out from those model kits on the shelf.
23:48Is that so?
23:49Mm-hmm.
23:50That's really good work.
23:51We ought to know.
23:54You're welcome.
23:56Harry, you know those real estate signs we saw on that land between town and where the UFO was supposed to have landed?
24:01Town councilman Tom Fairley's in the real estate and insurance business.
24:04Yes, but he doesn't own the land.
24:06I asked the doctor about it.
24:08I asked the doctor about it.
24:10A woman named Elizabeth Newton does.
24:12Last member of the town's oldest family.
24:14Newton?
24:15Didn't Clay also say she saw the...
24:18Real cozy, isn't it?
24:20No manual laborers.
24:21No store clerks.
24:22No kids who might have been sitting in a parked car at that hour.
24:25Nobody like that saw it.
24:26Only the people with a real stake in this town's economy.
24:29Can we prove anything?
24:30No, and if we could, I'd say let's wish them luck with their sideshow and move along.
24:34Oh, Harry, let's make sure.
24:38Let's go.
25:08Give me your flight glasses.
26:08All right.
26:31There now.
26:32That's better, isn't it?
26:38You okay, Major?
26:40I am now.
26:58Harry, slow down.
26:59Isn't that Tomlinson's cook the one that talked to us last night?
27:02Looks like him.
27:03Hello.
27:04Oh, hiya.
27:05Keeping in shape?
27:06Yeah, Doc told me to quit smoking and do a lot of exercise.
27:09Told him I'd split the difference.
27:11How late do you stay at the bar and grill?
27:13Till two o'clock curfew weekends.
27:15Rest of the week we're usually empty by midnight.
27:17But you and that waiter are so busy.
27:19I'm not the only one.
27:20I got a really good deal for you.
27:22What deal?
27:23What deal?
27:24I got a deal for you.
27:25What deal?
27:26I got a deal for you.
27:27What deal?
27:28I got a deal for you.
27:29I got a deal for you.
27:30I got a deal for you.
27:31I got a deal for you.
27:32You and that waitress, what's her name?
27:34Helen Ramirez.
27:35The two of you stay till closing, right?
27:37She might stay on later sometimes, waiting for Barney.
27:40I told you about that.
27:41Were you and she there till midnight last Tuesday?
27:44I suppose.
27:45No reason we wouldn't have been.
27:47But the poker game in Barney's back room broke up at 11.
27:50What are you fellows gonna make trouble for me for?
27:52Is that what we're doing?
27:53If Barney and that girl told you something, don't ask me to stay different.
27:57You know how hard it is getting a job these days?
28:00Especially at my age.
28:01All right.
28:02We'll ask Mrs. Ramirez.
28:03Where does she live?
28:04I'm not gonna tell you.
28:06In fact, I'm going home right now and call Barney and tell him you guys have been asking questions.
28:10You won't have to.
28:11He won't hear it from us.
28:13That's what you say now.
28:15But you might forget and make a slip.
28:17She might be on the phone book.
28:19Sorry we bothered you.
28:21You did.
28:22But I'll fix it.
28:23Because if Barney hears it from me first, he'll know I ain't on your side.
28:31Why are you stopping?
28:42Helen Ramirez.
28:43Waitress at the Barn Grill.
28:45Yeah.
28:46Landing site's almost in her backyard.
28:48Isn't it?
29:01Well, hello.
29:19It's Paulie, isn't it?
29:21Sure is a talkative town.
29:23Is your mother home?
29:25Hey, listen, partner.
29:29Why aren't you in school?
29:33You being punished for something, son?
29:35Paulie, a couple of nights ago, you were probably in bed.
29:39Didn't some big noise wake you up?
29:43Tuesday night when your mother came home, did you wake up?
29:45Didn't she say something had happened or that Mr. Tomlinson had told her something had happened?
29:59Now, just what the hell do you think you're doing here?
30:05Paulie, get in the house and close the door.
30:09Now, you're on my property.
30:13We understood Mrs. Ramirez lives here.
30:15This is my house, bought and paid for.
30:23So what do you think you're looking at?
30:27Now, I'm warning you two, I got a shotgun right behind that door and you're trespassing.
30:31We just wanted to talk to Mrs. Ramirez.
30:37Just gonna be two on one, huh?
30:40As long as we're wearing this uniform, mister, you're gonna be fighting more than two of us.
30:46Sorry, Mrs. Ramirez, another time.
30:49There ain't gonna be no other time.
30:57I wonder what happened to the kid's father.
31:01I bet the kid does, too.
31:17How about also, please?
31:21Hello.
31:37Hello.
31:39You fellas find anything?
31:41Anything about what?
31:42What you're here for, the saucer business.
31:45Why didn't you ask us that before you wrote the news story?
31:48What's bothering you, Mr. Pober?
31:50I wrote what they told me.
31:52I know I'm just a hick stringer, but I don't like it when my paper's used.
31:56What don't you like?
31:58Being warned that the paper will lose advertising if I ask too many questions.
32:03I got more respect for myself than that.
32:05Well, good attorneys and newspaper men usually know the answers to most questions before they ask them.
32:10Which questions became too many?
32:15Clay lives at 42 Elm Street.
32:18That's west of town.
32:20Why was he driving northeast after the poker game broke up?
32:23What'd he say to that?
32:24That he's a widower, and he knows a woman out there, and that the rest is none of my business.
32:29I haven't been able to trace down any woman he knows there or anywhere else.
32:32What are some of the other questions?
32:34Doc Talbot was called out of that poker game at 1015 to treat an emergency.
32:38He couldn't possibly have known what time the game broke up.
32:42There's more.
32:43We're listening.
32:45The emergency was a farmer's wife who broke her leg in her bathtub.
32:49Her house is less than a quarter of a mile from where the saucer landed.
32:52Now, how could the doc not have seen or heard anything?
32:55Go on.
32:56The lawyer didn't get home till after 1 o'clock in the morning.
32:58He was drunk, and he tripped off his own burglar alarm system.
33:01Neighbors heard it go off.
33:03That's about it so far.
33:05You gonna write that?
33:06Not this time.
33:08Not till I know it all.
33:09Mr. Pilgrim, you might not win many prizes in this town,
33:12but you're one hell of a newspaper man.
33:16Thanks.
33:17I hope you remember that if you dig a story out of this.
33:20Count on it.
33:21Thanks.
33:30If you keep writing to that executive lady in Chicago,
33:33she's gonna start to pick out her silver pattern.
33:36Just a friend, Harry.
33:38Didn't you ever have a woman as a friend?
33:40Not if I could do better.
33:49Has Paulie been here?
33:51No. No, he hasn't.
33:55What is it, Miss Amiris?
33:57What happened?
33:58Oh, Barney and me had a fight.
34:03When Barney started to hit me, Paulie tried to help.
34:06I screamed at him because I was afraid he would get hurt.
34:10And Paulie ran away.
34:16I don't know where he is.
34:18Did you call the police?
34:20Yeah.
34:22Mrs. Amiris,
34:24why did you expect to find him here?
34:27Don't ask me any questions, please.
34:30Just leave me alone.
34:36Well...
34:41Paulie's father disappeared before he was born.
34:46I try to take care of him as best I can.
34:51Do you think I like living the way I do?
34:54It's all right, ma'am.
34:56They'll find your boy.
35:06Yeah.
35:22Yeah, I got it.
35:24Wright Patterson.
35:26Did they find the kid?
35:29Okay, that'll have to do.
35:31Get back to us if they come up with any more.
35:33Thanks, pal.
35:36Had the feeling they were worn alone.
35:39Busy little town, isn't it?
35:41How's Mrs. Amiris?
35:43Dr. Kephart in the hospital overnight.
35:45Took her home this morning.
35:47What about the lab?
35:49The picture is a phony.
35:51Just like that? No reasonable doubt?
35:53None.
35:55First of all, the black background is absolute.
35:57Nothing in it.
35:59And that's the key.
36:01A small flash gun of the type used to take the picture
36:03has a distance carry of about 12 feet.
36:05The object in the photo
36:07is described as being pretty good sized.
36:09No small flash gun
36:11could take a detailed photo
36:13of an object of any great size.
36:15Such as the one in question.
36:17Meaning we're dealing with something quite small.
36:19Dark night, nothing in the background.
36:21Meaning no additional illumination used.
36:23Just a flash.
36:25And that's beginning to spell something
36:27and it sure ain't mother.
36:29One more thing.
36:31Under those strong glasses at the lab
36:33lower left hand corner.
36:35And black cloth wrinkles.
36:37You know, I bet we're both thinking the same thing.
36:39Good thinking, come on.
36:55Excuse me.
36:57The last time we were in here your sister told us
36:59that you made these excellent airplane models
37:01Oh, yes sir.
37:03What did you do
37:05with the one you made for Mr. Clay?
37:07Now wait a minute.
37:11What is this?
37:13This is an official United States Air Force
37:15investigation.
37:17Are you this young man's father?
37:19Oh sure I am, Hal Henshaw.
37:21But my boy ain't done nothing wrong.
37:23Earl Clay took a picture several days ago.
37:25He claims it was a UFO that landed here.
37:27Our scientific laboratories in Ohio
37:29have established that this is not so.
37:31What's that got to do with Mark?
37:33The picture's a fake.
37:35A deliberate fake.
37:37I'm done talking to you people.
37:39You can just move on out.
37:41What the major means is we're not law enforcement officers.
37:43We don't arrest people.
37:45If we find evidence of a crime
37:47for instance a conspiracy to defraud the public
37:49it's our duty to turn that information over
37:51to your state attorney general's office.
37:53How old are you son?
37:55Eighteen.
37:57What's your age?
37:59Four.
38:01Yeah, I heard him.
38:03Let me think on it a minute.
38:19Major!
38:27Major, as head of the town council
38:29I'm asking you and your sergeant
38:31to take your suspicions and slander
38:33and get out of this town today.
38:35Yes sir, we're going to do just that.
38:37But I think we're going to leave our suspicions
38:39right here in town for you people to deal with.
38:43Mr. Fairley and his friends
38:45some of them with him now
38:47and the others you know about
38:49they decided this town needed a little help in its wallet.
38:51So they made up a story
38:53and they faked a photograph.
38:55That's a lie! You can't prove that!
38:57We can, but we don't have to.
38:59Mr. Clay
39:01do you remember that fine little model
39:03of a saucer you took a picture of?
39:05You don't know what you're talking about.
39:07Young Mark Henshaw does.
39:09Mark?
39:17Ladies and gentlemen, your flying saucer.
39:21We don't know the exact landing time
39:24but to make it look like night
39:26it was photographed against a piece of black cloth.
39:28Henshaw, you're a damn fool.
39:30Don't you call me names.
39:32I never wanted no part of this.
39:34Sergeant Pitts
39:36bill from your local garage
39:38one windshield shatter proof glass.
39:54I don't know about you, mage
39:56but I miss the wind and the rain in her hair.
39:58Harry, slow down.
40:12Hey, Paulie, you alright?
40:14Where have you been?
40:16What happened to you?
40:18Bartender was hitting my mom.
40:20We know, partner, but she's okay
40:22except she's worried like crazy about you.
40:24What Barney said is not true.
40:26What he said to her?
40:28To everybody, to you.
40:30What Barney said about what, son?
40:32The machine
40:34that came down from the sky.
40:36We know that, partner.
40:38By now everybody in town knows that.
40:40But it wasn't the way Barney and Mr. Clay said.
40:42The way they said what?
40:44I'm the only one who saw it.
40:46Paulie, you sure you're alright?
40:48You're not dizzy or anything, are you?
40:50Paulie, can you tell us
40:52exactly what you saw?
40:54My mom and Barney told me not to.
40:56She only said it because she was scared of them.
40:58But I don't care anymore.
41:00And it wasn't last Tuesday.
41:02It was maybe three weeks ago.
41:06They needed time to build a model.
41:08And it wasn't that night either.
41:10In other words, they said it did.
41:12But it was in the afternoon
41:14after school.
41:16I was flying my kite.
41:20Then all of a sudden
41:22my kite caught on fire.
41:26And I saw this big machine
41:28in the sky.

44:10Do you
44:12receive this?
44:14Do you
44:16receive this?
44:18Do you receive this?
44:24I have taken your form
44:26and converted your radio language
44:28so that I might be understandable
44:30to you. Do you
44:32understand me?
44:34I am from
44:36the 17th planet of a star
44:38which is half the distance
44:40from the center of our galaxy
44:42to your sun.
44:44I have been sent here to
44:46planet three.
44:48You do not
44:50understand.
44:54You are the third planet
44:56from your sun. You are
44:58three.
45:02I have been sent here to
45:04three because our probes
45:06have recorded a primitive
45:08intelligence. Do you
45:10understand me?
45:12You have no
45:14reason to fear me
45:16or those who will
45:18follow me here.
45:20We only come to learn
45:22when we feel that your
45:24life form has the capacity
45:26to interact with
45:28ours and others.
45:30There will be additional contact.
45:32Do you
45:34understand me?
46:05I am
46:07from
46:09the 17th planet
46:11of a star
46:13which is half the distance
46:15from your sun.
46:17I have been sent here
46:19to planet three.
46:21Do you
46:23understand me?
46:25You
46:27are
46:29three.
46:31It went away so fast.
46:33It was like it disappeared.
46:35Polly, how did you feel
46:37when it was over? When the stranger
46:39went away?
46:41I was sorry.
46:45You don't believe me.
46:47We believe you saw everything
46:49you told us.
46:55And now I think we better get you home.
46:57And now I think we better get you home to your mother.
46:59You don't have to.
47:01I can take a shortcut over the hill.
47:03Okay, Polly.
47:27Good luck, partner.
47:43A hoax, huh?
47:45What about our report now?
47:47I don't know that he could make up that kind of detail
47:49or that kind of language
47:51or his age if he could.
47:53Major, you're not asking me
47:55to believe.
47:57I'm not asking you to believe anything, Sergeant.
