00:30Let's go.
01:00Let's go.
01:03Oh, horse.
01:30Let's go.
02:00Let's go.
02:30Let's go.
03:00My name is John Lowengart.
03:05I'm recording this because we may not live through the night.
03:07They're here.
03:09They're hostile.
03:10And powerful people don't want you to know.
03:12History as we know it is a lie.
03:14They're here.
03:27They're here.
03:28They're here.
03:32The magnetic disturbances seem to emanate from a single point in the fault line above the town of Chilliwack, Alaska.
03:57Is that where the Indians saw the rocks?
03:59We fenced the area and planted sensors.
04:01As a precaution, the only papers around the story were tabloids, Frank.
04:04Love to get Lone Guard up there.
04:05It was night, Frank.
04:07The old man might have been drinking.
04:08What do you think, Doc?
04:09That these pulses, that these pulses, and that's what they are, have a distinctive frequency signature that have only a 50-50 chance of being naturally caused, whether they're powerful enough to lift rocks.
04:20Dreamland had a look.
04:21We forwarded the data.
04:22All right, just keep it coming.
04:23Keep me up to speed.
04:24Frank, I don't think we should be wasting the time.
04:26Look, Phil.
04:26Lone Guard has a nose.
04:28He would not travel all that way to waste an Easter weekend.
04:32So as we approach this coming Easter Sunday, we'd been on the road for four months, but it seemed more like four years.
04:40In that short time, everything I ever believed in about my country and my life had been turned upside down.
04:47We've traveled through the darkness of Lent, and now we wait, hope and faith, for the miracle, Christ's resurrection.
04:56Hope and faith seemed abstract to me, simple and naive.
05:02Kim and I were living in a different world, one filled with horrible realities.
05:07The Lord bless us and keep us.
05:09The Lord make his face to shine upon us and be gracious unto us.
05:12The Lord lift his countenance upon us and give us peace, both now and evermore.
05:16I'm in.
05:18I look forward to seeing you all on Easter Sunday.
05:27I see you Easter.
05:29Thank you for coming.
05:30Easter.
05:32Reverend.
05:34It was a beautiful service.
05:35Kim Smith.
05:37John Lohmiller.
05:38You work for a newspaper?
05:40No.
05:42Good.
05:42We're a little tired of being asked about rocks that fly.
05:46Um, we would actually like to talk to your uncle.
05:52I'm sorry.
05:56Reverend, we're not here to exploit him.
05:59You won't get the chance.
06:00We only want to hear his story.
06:02It's an ignorant Indian legend.
06:07Isn't that how you people think about it?
06:08Primitive hokum?
06:10You could say the same thing about what you're preaching today.
06:15Yeah, you could.
06:17But it's a hard life if you don't have anything to believe in.
06:19No one's arguing that.
06:21I mean, I think there's truth in all faiths.
06:25Practicing Catholic.
06:26And what does that make you?
06:29You're practicing cynic?
06:32A cynic who's come an awfully long way to listen.
06:42All right, drop the reverend.
06:44Name's Gary.
06:44You look too old to be college students.
06:56Oh, well, we're in a graduate program, anthropology.
07:02The newspaper article said that you connected the floating rocks with an old tribal legend.
07:07Something that came out of the sky.
07:08Try to make me sound like an ignorant old man.
07:15Like a drunk, you know?
07:17Well, we don't want to do that.
07:19We're only here to listen.
07:24I'm the last of the clean of Ix.
07:27Shaman of my clan.
07:29The last of the storytellers.
07:34The others, like Gary here, have moved on to other things, other places.
07:38We're an ancient clan.
07:42Small and different from the other Tlingit.
07:44They're from down south.
07:46Our ancestors were a hunting party that came north thousands of years ago.
07:51And they stayed.
07:53They stayed to guard the star that fell out of the sky.
07:59Did it come down near here?
08:01Into a deep chasm on the far side of the mountain.
08:04There was a rumbling in the earth and it was swallowed up whole.
08:07An earthquake.
08:08Probably.
08:10We get them all the time here.
08:12Why did they stay to guard it?
08:21They were guarding it because of the wishes of the father who rode down on its tail.
08:28The father?
08:29From the stars.
08:34Legend says that he floated down on the wing of a raven and landed not far from the clan.
08:41The tail of the star burned him and he knew he was going to die.
08:44So he spoke to the clan in a voice without words.
08:52Well, what did he tell them?
08:54He said that one day the star would live again.
08:57That it would be very dangerous.
08:59That rocks would fly.
09:01That the earth would shake and open up and expose it again to the sky.
09:06Another quake.
09:08And if that happened, the clan was to make certain it stayed in the chasm until it sang its song.
09:14What does that mean?
09:17Legend doesn't say.
09:19Only that if we moved the star out and it sang, it would be the end of our home, our clan.
09:27So what happened to him, the father?
09:30He died.
09:31He was burned.
09:33His ashes floated up to the sky to return to the stars.
09:37Do you know what he looked like?
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:52We've always carved wood and stone.
09:57This here is my great-grandfather's podium.
10:01John.
10:17Honey, I promise, next time we'll get hiking boots.
10:19No, it's not just my feet that are bothering me.
10:23I'm trying to make sense of this friendly gray.
10:26Yeah, me too.
10:27You know, when I was at Majestic, they showed me a ganglion that they'd extracted from one of the grays at Roswell.
10:32Yeah, you told me.
10:33Well, it was embedded in the brain and nervous system of the gray in the same way that it takes over our bodies.
10:42So, are you saying that the grays were implanted like I was?
10:48Doesn't it make sense?
10:50What if the grays were like us, a good planet that was taken over, and the ganglion's really the hive?
10:57Well, then, Tug's gray father could have come at a time before it happened.
11:05You know, John, if the grays could be taken over with their technology...
11:09I know, Kim.
11:10I know.
11:11Air Force, probably out of Elmendorf.
11:25They've been doing flyovers ever since I told the people about the rocks.
11:29But that's only been up a couple of days.
11:32Let's go.
11:33Say it has to do with the fault line.
11:48But don't stop me.
11:50It's going down.
12:16God.
12:25I wonder what that was all about.
12:27A star.
12:28Elmendorf just did a flyover.
12:36Nearly lost the ship.
12:38Another surge?
12:39They're in the 60 cycle range.
12:40They seem to be increasing in frequency.
12:43We also seem to be getting some plate movement.
12:46Area 51, they think we've got one.
12:48It's dry-headed rock.
13:01You can see that there's quite a bit of seismic activity here.
13:04Yeah, well, we're right on top of the fault.
13:06I guess they put these up to measure the stress.
13:10This is it.
13:11This is where the rocks floated.
13:13You don't believe them?
13:18I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't.
13:21Despite what Tug thinks.
13:23I didn't join the church to reject tribal legend.
13:25In fact, I sort of think it fits right in.
13:28The father floating down on a wing from the sky.
13:33Sounds an awful lot like a Christian angel.
13:37What about floating rocks?
13:40Could be a sign.
13:43A miracle?
13:49Hmm.
13:51I think these things are sending information to Elmendorf.
13:55Well, then they know.
13:57Well, not necessarily.
14:00I mean, if they thought that one of the gray ships
14:01was buried in this area, they'd be up here digging.
14:04I think they're watching and waiting
14:05to see if anything happens.
14:10You see the red in the rocks here?
14:12Yeah.
14:12It means there's a lot of iron in them.
14:15Maybe if there was enough magnetic energy, then...
14:17Well, take an awfully big magnet to move one of these.
14:21Might be a good idea to head back.
14:23We don't want to make that climb down in the dark.
14:25John?
14:34John?
14:34The birds have stopped singing.
14:36It's happening
14:45Oh my god
15:06We're getting another earthquake, we're getting a real danger here
15:12Again, we see the entire port facility has just been wiped out
15:18There definitely isn't a port there anymore
15:20A massive earthquake struck the west coast near Anchorage, Alaska today at 5.36pm Pacific Standard Time
15:34The size of the Tembler is unknown, however early damage reports suggest it would register 8.0 or higher on the Richter scale
15:41A massive earthquake has struck near Anchorage, Alaska at 5.36pm Alaskan Standard Time
15:51Damage is reported to be extensive
15:54The epicenter was Chilliwack, they think it's well over 8 on the Richter scale
15:57We put an immediate flyover, full recon, we need photos on your ride
16:00Preliminary reports put the epicenter near the town of Whittier on Prince William Sound
16:06With tremors being felt as far away as San Francisco
16:09Rescue efforts are...
16:10Put that out
16:11Make sure Caltech backs this up
16:14A massive earthquake has struck near Anchorage, Alaska at 5.36pm Alaskan Standard Time
16:20You okay?
16:24Uh-huh
16:25Tog? Gary? Over here
16:31It's the start
16:49We're gonna need some climbing equipment
16:53You're not going down there
16:56Legend says it's very dangerous
16:58It's got to stay in the ground
17:00Well, it's not gonna keep me from taking a look
17:03Or me
17:07Majestic John
17:08Yeah
17:09If we're gonna do this, we gotta do it tonight
17:11Governor Agin has declared a state of emergency
17:15Calling in the National Guard
17:17And has received a pledge of immediate military aid from President Johnson
17:21All branches are to be mobilized under Operation Helping Hand
17:25As the relief operation continues, we will keep you informed
17:29Set Dr. Haida up in the vestibule
17:40His first aid gear, back in the closet
17:42Mary Edwardson is where it is
17:44This is your new clan
17:46You understand that
17:48Wish my uncle did
17:50Still sees this as an Indian village
17:52It chooses not to recognize all the yellow, brown, white faces here
17:56Or acknowledge the need for a modern shaman
17:58A shaman with a broader perspective
18:00Very broad
18:03What we saw today
18:04You know, you said you believe all legends and religions have a basis in reality
18:09What do you think we saw there today, do you know?
18:11I believe we saw a miracle
18:14And this is a test of faith
18:17Should be carabiners around here somewhere
18:29Are you gonna tell me who you are?
18:35It's like Kim said, we're anthropology suits
18:38Oh no, you had the look of a hunter that found his prey
18:41I ought to be afraid of you
18:43You wouldn't have taken us up there if you were
18:46Someone's coming, aren't they?
18:48The government
18:50Well, they can't pull it out
18:52I won't allow it
18:54I know that, Tug
18:55I'm asking for your help
19:03Hey, did you get the equipment?
19:24Yeah, it's in Tug's Jeep
19:25We gotta get going, but Jessica will be up there by first light
19:28I'm going with you
19:32The building's sound, there are plenty of volunteers here
19:35Michael's not the only Klingit
19:37It's aftershock
19:41If we don't hurry, one might bury the star
19:44I need to speak to your planning officer
19:57You got those recon photos?
19:59At the table, sir
20:00Don't really take them
20:01Oh, 130, sir, just over an hour ago
20:04It's giving off heat as well as the magnetic pulses
20:06The pulses are now three hours apart
20:09Only radiation?
20:10No, sir
20:10But the pulses sure wreak havoc on our gauges
20:13What road's in?
20:15One from the east
20:16The bridge here is still good
20:17From now on, they're closed
20:19There's no way in or out of Chilliwack
20:20Do you understand?
20:22Yes, sir
20:22You got that list of materiel?
20:25The relief effort is soaking up a lot of the materiel
20:27Hey, Phillips, sir
20:28Is that Jeep ours?
20:32Jeep, sir
20:43We should tell them the truth
20:55I think they already suspect it
20:59You can call it a miracle or a star
21:01Whatever you want
21:02I think they both know it's something else
21:05Well, Jessica's gonna want to move it
21:07One thing at a time
21:12Even we don't know what we have yet
21:14Okay, let's just do it
21:19All right, let's go
21:20Okay, when I hit the bottom
21:26I'm gonna yell and tug the rope three times
21:28And then I come down
21:29Followed by Kim and Gary
21:31All right
21:33Oh, by the way
21:37If you see any flying rocks
21:38We'll reel you in
21:39Hey
21:41Look, don't touch
21:44You're starting to sound like my mother
21:46Look, we thank you for these miracles that you reveal
21:51Grant us the grace to use the best thing to glorify you
21:54I don't think you fully understand the severity of this, Craig, Captain
22:00Half of this state is without power or water
22:03Kodiak's being hit with tidal waves every 55 minutes
22:06We've got fires
22:08Thousands of buildings down
22:10I need every resource I can get my hands on
22:13Your magic operation be damned
22:16General Thompson
22:18I'm only gonna say this once
22:21So you better listen very carefully
22:23First, I want you to ignore whatever you've heard up until now
22:29Two, your assessment of the situation will be that the village of Chilliwack has been hit especially hard
22:33Women and children need immediate rescue
22:35To that end, you will provide a full battalion of elite paratroopers
22:39A CB construction unit
22:41Two heavy lift helicopters
22:43And every single last item on that materiel list
22:46Do I need to repeat myself, General?
22:52No, sir, you do not
22:53I am to be airborne in exactly one hour
22:58It's warm
23:07You haven't been down here long enough, it's hot
23:10It's talking again
23:16It's a steel
23:28It's over
23:42You're weak
23:46What was it?
23:49Some kind of magnetic pulse
23:50The same thing that lifted the rocks
23:51You okay?
23:54I'm a little queasy
23:55We can't stay down here too long
23:57Do you think it could have caused the earthquake?
23:59What?
24:29The terror of Good Friday hits in three stages
24:43Earthquake, fire, and tidal waves
24:46The jeep is a military surplus vehicle
25:13Twenty years old
25:14And there appear to be climbing ropes leading into the castle
25:18It's gotta be low on guard
25:19Now, gentlemen, we need to be airborne now
25:23On the third day, Christ rose from the grave and ascended to heaven
25:30And what?
25:33Wings of angels?
25:36One of these
25:36What is it?
25:41Spacecraft
25:44Spacecraft
25:44Spacecraft from another civilization
25:48You knew
25:54You were talking about miracles
25:58We weren't sure if you were ready for the reality
26:02This is larger than Roswell
26:15That's detailing the surface
26:22Even seems to be bending the matter around it
26:33It's putting off heat
26:41Oh my god, it's not even hot
26:48John
26:55What is it?
27:00I don't know
27:00Maybe some
27:01Some sort of warning device
27:03Something to protect the ship
27:04We should all go back up
27:06Kim, let me have the camera
27:08John, don't
27:10It's not affecting me in the same way
27:12I'm okay
27:12Kim, I have to do this
27:15It won't be long
27:20What's the ETA in the mountain?
27:44We'll be there in 15 minutes
27:46Magnetic pulses are two hours apart
27:48Roswell
27:53Yeah, Frank
27:54You ever been around that ship?
27:58You never cleared me for it, Frank
27:59It's dead, Albano
28:03Stone cold dead
28:03I want this one alive
28:05She's still down there
28:24John
28:25I can't hear you
28:26All these years looking at the sky
28:29Thinking what was up there was good
28:31Are you sure the gray aliens are evil?
28:36Well, they are now
28:38We think that their race may have been taken over by a hostile life form
28:43But that our great fathers were good
28:45He could have come at a time before it happened
28:48A pilot
28:50It was a pilot
28:51Something was wrong with his ship and he buried it
28:58Just wanted us to make sure it stayed put
29:002,000 years of standing guard
29:06My guy was a carpenter
29:12Yeah, well, we're both a couple of fools
29:17No
29:20No
29:22You say the foundation of all legends and religions lies in reality
29:28Well, I say it's the other way around
29:31The foundation of all reality lies in faith
29:36Where's that?
29:43Helicopter
29:44John!
29:46John!
29:52I have a live alien ship in that mountain
30:05And I'm gonna get it out
30:06It's gonna kill you, Frank
30:08You and I don't know how many other people, but I saw it
30:10You don't know what you saw, John
30:12Pulses were making you delirious
30:14Bring it up, gentlemen
30:24Time to get up
30:39You have to move on
30:44Come on
30:45Come on, old man
30:55Come on
30:56Ah, get away from me
30:59Where are we?
31:05Almost to Vegas
31:06What year?
31:19Doesn't matter
31:20Your choice
31:25Get up
31:26Stay with them
31:28I'm moving on
31:33Who are they?
31:46Throwbacks
31:50We're all throwbacks
31:55Maybe we're the lucky ones
32:08Come on, killer
32:19Gotta get you out
32:20It's over
32:23That's right
32:24We're gonna get you out of here
32:25Now
32:26Now it's over
32:27It's all over
32:29I saw
32:32They won
32:35Try to get his legs
32:38He's passed out
32:39John
32:49I'm right here, honey
32:51Hey
32:55Hey
32:56Hey
32:56Oh, boy
33:01I got some water
33:03Yeah
33:04Box here
33:17Box here
33:25His men
33:28His men pulled you out
33:28They've declared the town
33:31A disaster area
33:32They've been evacuating people since dawn
33:35It's 920
33:37You've been out six hours
33:40You know, they said you were lucky
33:43That magnetism could have killed more than a watch
33:45What?
33:53I saw the ship explode, Kim
33:59Buck tried to move it
34:03I couldn't get him to stop
34:06John, it's okay
34:08They haven't done anything yet
34:09No, no, no, but they're going to
34:11I don't know whether it was a
34:14It was a time warp or just my imagination
34:18But when I touched the ship, I saw the future
34:20I saw
34:24John
34:26I saw what's going to happen
34:31The hive's going to win, Kim
34:35Welcome back to the world of the living, Lone Guard
34:39Frank would like you to join him for breakfast
34:42They're moving it, aren't they?
34:59They're pulling it out
35:03The old man put up quite a struggle
35:23They said it took four men to get him on that chopper
35:26He's right, Frank
35:27The ship should stay where it is
35:28Because of a 4,000-year-old Indian legend
35:31I saw a man die yesterday, John
35:36He'd been high for four months
35:37Halligan tried to ART him
35:38You know that only works in new implants
35:41Yeah, but how new, John?
35:42Month, two months, three months?
35:43We were just guessing
35:44I guess you know now for sure
35:46We know more
35:48I'm not going to run this organization on guesswork and superstition
35:52I have a live alien ship on that mountain
35:54I'm going to get it out
35:55It's going to kill you, Frank
36:00You and I don't know how many others
36:02But I saw it
36:03You don't know what you saw, John
36:06Pulses were making you delirious
36:08No, that legend is held true up until now
36:10Everything about it
36:11Dammit, Frank
36:11I saw this very conversation that we're having right now
36:14I saw that ship explode
36:15I saw the future
36:16I saw myself as an old man
36:18And the hive had won
36:19Learning how that craft flies
36:21Might be the only way to beat them
36:23They've broken and freed from the rock
36:25Pulses?
36:2715 minutes apart
36:28Get him out of here
36:31I want a heavy-lift chopper on that mountain now
36:33Yes, sir
36:34Don't do it, Frank
36:34It's a mistake
36:35I'm working with facts, John
36:37What are you working with?
36:38Do you think this is a wonder man?
36:49Howzie
36:55I wish
36:55I wish
36:57I wish
36:58I wish
37:015-8-0 Hotel, flight check.
37:13You're now proceeding to destination.
37:31He's praying.
37:40It's Easter tomorrow.
37:45I don't even know if there's going to be a tomorrow.
37:48He has faith.
37:50After what he's seen?
37:52Maybe he's all we're left with.
37:56All you saw was a vision.
37:59It's going to happen, Kim.
38:01The ship's going to explode and the hive's going to win.
38:04How can you be so sure?
38:07You ready to just give up?
38:09It's exactly as I saw it.
38:11Bach and I said the same words.
38:14Gary saw a spaceship instead of a miracle.
38:19Does that mean he should stop believing in God?
38:22I'm not talking about miracles.
38:23This is reality.
38:25Who's to say that it has to happen?
38:28Who's to say that we can't change it?
38:29I believe in you.
38:35I believe in us.
38:38In humanity.
38:42We can't just accept it and give in.
38:45Help us understand.
39:01Help us understand.
39:03Let's pray.
39:13This is a mystery.
39:13I confidence.
39:14I believe in us.
39:17The Huey co-pilot's drinking coffee in the vestibule.
39:39One of the guards has his rifle leaning against the pew.
39:41I love you.
39:48I know you do.
40:02What's the girl gotta do to get a cup of coffee around here?
40:05Move and he's dead.
40:08Sorry.
40:09Todd?
40:10Gary?
40:11What do you say we go for a chopper ride?
40:16Back off!
40:18Don't move!
40:19Don't move.
40:20Don't move.
40:21Don't move.
40:22Don't move.
40:23Don't move.
40:24Don't move.
40:25Don't move.
40:30Don't move.
40:31Everybody, don't move.
40:32Don't move, conformist line concrete.
40:33Don't move.
40:34Come on, take it up, let's go.
40:35All right, all right.
40:38Cristian, all instruments are clear and operational.
40:39Mulsives are not interfering at this time.
40:41Mulsives are at one per minute.
40:43Half-second burst.
40:44Operational. Pulsas are not interfering at this time.
40:50Pulsas are at one per minute.
40:53You have second burst.
40:54That should help us.
40:56Shorter the better.
40:58Engineers say as long as they don't sustain, we are in business.
41:02All right, let's hook it up.
41:03Roger that.
41:11Tune it to their frequency now.
41:13All right.
41:14Cable three, four, and five, all clear.
41:17Watch the tension of the blinds.
41:22All right, let's hook it up.
41:24Lock on.
41:26Lifting cable is secure.
41:28All right, come on, let's lift her up.
41:30Yes, sir.
41:33All right.
41:35Now, all our men are out of there, right?
41:38They're clearing, Fisher.
41:42Lifting cable is secure.
41:43We are clearing, Fisher.
41:44Acknowledge clearing, Fisher.
41:47Object is secure and ready.
41:50Pulse rate at 45 seconds.
41:550.3 second burst.
41:59That's four or five seconds and 0.3 accelerated.
42:05What does that mean?
42:06What does that mean?
42:07The magnetic pulses are becoming shorter and faster.
42:11Tug, in the legend, the first time you told it, you said something about the star singing.
42:16You were supposed to make sure the star stayed in the chasm until it sang its song.
42:22In my vision, there was a sound of some kind of loud humming before the explosion.
42:27Pulse rate is 30 seconds apart.
42:29Point two burst.
42:29Point two burst.
42:31When they become fast enough to make the tone.
42:37Dear God.
42:39Pulse rate, the mission.
42:41What the hell is that?
42:43Well, I'm guarding this party.
42:44I've promised me I heard one of the Hueys from the bay.
42:50Excavation team has cleared the Fisher.
42:52Pulse rate, 15 seconds.
42:54Point one burst.
42:55Start pulling it up now, gentlemen.
42:59I repeat, abort and clear the area at once.
43:03This is Majestic One.
43:04You carry out that command immediately.
43:07We are executing lift on my mark.
43:11Five seconds.
43:14Point zero four.
43:16Mark.
43:19Pull in front of them.
43:20Don't let them rise.
43:21Do it now.
43:25What the hell is he doing?
43:34John, you move it or I'll shoot you down.
43:37Can't risk it, Frank.
43:38We'll take your chopper out, too.
43:42He's right, Frank.
43:44He's on the separate side of the board.
43:46Pulse at three seconds.
43:49Point zero one burst.
43:50When the pulse will become a tone, it's going to explode.
43:54Call it a vision, a legend, whatever you want.
43:56But that ship has got to stay where it is.
43:59Pulse at two seconds.
44:02Okay, then I'll walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
44:05I can't risk losing this ship.
44:08You can't risk losing these people.
44:11Now, maybe it's an engine failure or a self-destruct mechanism.
44:14I don't know.
44:14But it's not going to cost you a dime to hold off.
44:18Pulse at one.
44:20This is reality, Frank.
44:21We're not moving.
44:23Point five.
44:26Point four.
44:29Point three.
44:32Abort.
44:33Drop the cable on the board.
44:36We are aborted.
44:38Point two.
44:39Get us out of here.
44:39Go.
44:40Go.
44:44The clan of the Tlingit had done their job.
45:08And it was safe for the people of Chilliwack to come back home for Easter.
45:12To come back and resurrect their village, their lives.
45:18We had challenged fate and come out winners.
45:22Aware that our future was what we were willing to make it.
45:25Realizing that sometimes it's impossible to tell where reality ends and a miracle begins.
45:33It's all a matter of faith.
