Absolutely not.

You've been lying to all

You work for the Russians.

I will take the blame for everything.

No, no, no, no, no. I'd

came in, which is, uh...

Potentially far too interesting

A plane collided with a
UFO over Canadian airspace.

Project Blue Book.

I'm your Vice Marshall
Christopher Thomas.

Sir, Captain Michael
Quinn, US Air Force.

- This is Dr. Allen Hynek.
- Pleasure.

And if you don't mind me asking,

how'd you hear about Blue
Book all the way up here?

I've actually been advocating
for a program like yours

for years in Canada.

Please.

So this wasn't your
first encounter, sir?

Uh, no.

I've had dozens of unofficial
reports during my command,

but never anything like this.

We saw the first craft on
radar at approximately 21:30.

This was the bush pilot?

He actually never identified himself.

So this was the unidentified aircraft.

No, sir.

A second unidentified
craft appeared on radar

at approximately 21:32.

♪♪

We clocked the other one
at over 2,000 miles an hour.

The pilot we were in contact with,

he tried to take evasive maneuvers,

but no matter what he
did, he couldn't get away.

It was as if the other, whatever it was,

was hunting it, sir.

Now, you said on the phone

that's when it looked
like they collided.

You're not sure?

Well, we were sure,

but about an hour after it happened,

our radar picked up
the first plane again

at 60,000 feet.

A prop plane?

- That's not possible.
- That's what we thought.

But then the tower received
another transmission.

We managed to record
it. Would you, um...

Mayday! Mayday!

What is that? Help!

It's coming closer! We
have lost complete control.

[SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY] Pull up!

- It's taking us!
- Pull up!

It's taking us!

So the supposed collision happened here

near King Island when
they were traveling south.

But that last mayday
transmission at 60,000 feet

was here near Port
Belmont, which is north.

And according to the tape,

the pilots still had visual
contact with the other craft?

Which means if they ditched
or managed to land somehow,

they'd be somewhere in here.

A roughly 200-mile square.

I already scrambled search
and rescue to fly a grid,

but so far nothing.

Sir, what's here?

That's Hartley Bay.

The only thing up there
is a logging outpost.

People?

A few seasonal workers maybe?

- What are you thinking?
- Eyewitnesses on the ground.

Someone up there saw something,
could help narrow our search.

Well, Hartley Bay's
not accessible by road.

You'd have to take a sea plane up there.

I don't have any
available pilots right now.

Well, can you, uh,

tell us a little more about
what happened last night?

Oh, about 9:30, there was
a earth-shattering boom.

Knocked the power out,
scared me half to death.

Ran outside to see what
it was, but wasn't nothing.

Wasn't till this morning
I found out what happened.

Well, we have reason to believe

that there may still be survivors.

Do you think you could, uh,
get us to the crash site?

What other choice do we have?

Hey, Doc, you got this.

♪♪

We found it! We found it, sir!

- It's the Russian plane, sir!
- Over here!

We got a lot of broken trees
here... stay out of that area.

It is the Russian plane, sirs!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Where's the rest of the plane?

Well, it's got to be close, right?

Well, if our guys were
here, they can't be far.

Yeah, but are they alone?

All right, men, fan out! And stay alert!

Remember, Doctor, don't
touch the inner housing

or any of the conduit on the floor.

The charge could kill you.

It should be good. Thank God.

Well done, Doc.

At least we won't die in vain.

What are you doing?

Ah, it's like your partner

So, Dr. Hynek, thank you for your work.

But we no longer have

[TENSE MUSIC]

You don't want to do this.

I have no choice. I'm sorry.

If Alexei and I make it back to
your plane, maybe we get home.

You're never gonna make it.

With you still alive?

- No.

Shoot now, you'll risk setting this off.

♪♪

Is that...

The core. Yes, I believe it is.

- What do you think?
- Don't shoot.

Doc, what are you doing with that?

I don't know. Do you want it?

No, no, no. Hey, Doctor, Doctor.

- You be careful.
- Oh, well, maybe you want it?

- No, don't do anything crazy.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

If there were plutonium
inside there, I would say yes.

Which there isn't.

Should weigh about five
times heavier than that, yes?

That's because it's
just the empty casing.

There's nothing inside.

He's right. There's nothing in here.

♪♪

How did you know?

You told me those capacitors
had enough charge in them

to kill a man, yet when I
slipped up a couple of times,

I didn't get so much as a static shock.

♪♪

Then when I was finished, I saw
the cap that conceals the core,

and I looked inside.

So you just reached in and grabbed it?

Well, there was no way they were
gonna leave that with us here,

and they don't need us anymore,

so, yes, I did,

and when I picked it up, I knew.

♪♪

Why?

♪♪

- Why did our government...
- They had us believe that...

The Kremlin wasn't
testing our air defense.

They were testing you.

They wanted to see how well you'd fare

when you thought you had a
live nuclear weapon on board.

The human element...

it's always the one
variable you can't control.

Yeah. It makes so much sense.

They're not gonna be flying
a live nuke over here.

[CHUCKLES]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

I guess no one wants World War III, huh?

Hey, Doc.

[GRUNTS]

I really thought you were
gonna kill us back there.

- I thought so, too.
- [BOTH LAUGH]

When I saw this thing flying
through the air, I thought,

"What is this cocky
American trying to do?"

- Whoo.
- It's nice catch.

Doctor...

thank you.

[SIGHS] You're welcome.

Captain, you showed incredible bravery.

Thank you.

You were just about to kill us.

Let's not forget that.

Okay.

Okay.

What will you do with us?

Not up to us now.

Seaplane's about
five-mile hike from here.

We'll head back, radio in.

You know, Captain,

if the four of us can work together,

I'm sure that we could

Hands up!

[GUNS COCKING]

Come on, let's go.

When we get back,

we're gonna need a full
debrief from both of you.

To scrub this clean is
gonna take a lot of work.

What is gonna happen to the pilots?

I can imagine a few scenarios.

But, honestly,

we've never had to deal with a
situation this sensitive, so...

You know, I got to commend you both.

What you did here was heroic.

We just came up here to do our job, sir.

Which makes the work you
do more important than ever.

♪♪

We need you out in the field.

- Both of you.
- Yes, sir.

Generals... I need you for a moment.

♪♪

We'll see you back at the base.

So they, uh, never found
the rest of the plane.

I'm sure they will.

I doubt they let us take
a look at it, though.

♪♪

You still think that unidentified craft

had something to do
with what happened here?

Maybe.

♪♪

Maybe it wasn't the Russians
that removed the plutonium.

It certainly poses some
interesting questions.

Well, I guess that means
we're back in business.

I guess we are, Professor.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Some things never change.

What's that?

I decide to get in early, you

Well, I heard we, uh, got a
few calls while we were gone.

Priest in Akron saw an object

hovering above his church after Mass.

Wanted to pre-interview
him on the phone.

Yeah, look at this...
Missouri, Texas, Maryland.

Never a dull day, huh?

Need anything?

Just some coffee. That'd
be great. Thanks, Faye.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Excuse me.

- Can I help you?

The Senator's here

Oh, yes. Senator Kennedy.

Morning, miss.

Yes, um, just this way.

Speak to somebody's who's been...

Gentlemen, Senator

Sorry for the unexpected

What can we do for you?

Eh, could you give us
some privacy, please?

[TENSE MUSIC]

Whatever you're working on,
I need you to put it down.

We have a situation developing
in the North Atlantic.

What kind of situation?

The crew on a Navy destroyer

spotted a triangle-shaped
craft trailing their fleet.

And you'd like for us
to investigate, sir?

I didn't finish.

The craft they saw
didn't come from the sky.

It came out of the water.
