00:03:00Ah, you're so lucky.
00:03:04I'll pay it tomorrow.
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:06How much is it?
00:03:07Let's see, that's 533,162.
00:03:10And 12 cents.
00:03:12Is that all?
00:03:13Not bad for three years?
00:03:15Fantastic.
00:03:23What?
00:03:25Sunrise.
00:03:26It's really beautiful.
00:03:28Beautiful.
00:03:29It's 0600.
00:03:30Nothing is beautiful at 0600.
00:03:32Is that maybe what's her name?
00:03:33Shit.
00:03:36What did I tell you?
00:03:37Scramble.
00:03:38Scramble.
00:03:38Scramble.
00:03:39Scramble.
00:03:40Don't help.
00:03:41Yes, sir.
00:03:43Yes, sir.
00:03:43We're expecting you, sir.
00:03:44Let's go.
00:03:45Like this.
00:03:45.
00:03:48.
00:03:57.
00:03:58.
00:04:03.
00:04:03.
00:04:04.
00:04:05.
00:04:05.
00:04:13Oh, my God.
00:04:43Oh, my God.
00:05:13Climbing at departure, vectoring point north. 22 Angels, runway 32 right. Optometre setting 29092. Clear to taxi and take off. Base is green for further instructions. Change to Oscar 25.
00:05:32Go on, Alfred. Check in. Roger.
00:06:02Three and a half minutes from scramble to takeoff. Fantastic.
00:06:26What's going on? Puma radar's picked up an unidentified track. Who's up? Fireball and thunder from the 12th, sir.
00:06:36Golf Alpha, Golf Alpha, this is the commander of Region Operations Center speaking.
00:06:42This is Golf Alpha. Go ahead, sir.
00:06:44Golf Alpha, I'm relying on you to use utmost discretion.
00:06:47You will intercept and report back as soon as possible.
00:06:51Roger, sir.
00:06:53Fox, Golf Alpha.
00:06:54Altitude 27,000.
00:06:56Heading 310.
00:06:58Steady on.
00:06:59Golf Alpha, bogey at 29 miles.
00:07:03Bearing 270.
00:07:04Okay, here we go.
00:07:10Fox, Golf Alpha.
00:07:12Radar contact 1-2 miles at my 9 o'clock.
00:07:15Speed, uh, 700 knots.
00:07:17Roger, Golf Alpha. Identify, please.
00:07:19Holy shit.
00:07:30You see what I see?
00:07:33How could I miss it?
00:07:37Fox, Golf Alpha.
00:07:39We have an enemy aircraft, sir. No identification.
00:07:41End is armed.
00:07:42Keep your eyes open and intercept.
00:07:45Nothing wrong.
00:07:46Roger.
00:07:46Roger.
00:07:49This guy's looking for trouble, Alex.
00:08:08He came to the right place.
00:08:17Where'd he go?
00:08:19I've lost him, too.
00:08:26Shit.
00:08:27He's coming right at us.
00:08:32Christ.
00:08:32He's on your tail.
00:08:46He's on your tail.
00:08:48Son of a bitch!
00:08:55I'll get him off your back.
00:08:56Well, hurry up, pal, because he's closing.
00:09:04He's closing.
00:09:04I got it.
00:09:22I got it.
00:09:22I got it.
00:09:24Fox, Golf Alpha.
00:09:26I have the bandit in my sights.
00:09:29What are your instructions?
00:09:30I want you to force him to land.
00:09:41He's locked on me.
00:09:47All right.
00:09:48When I give the word, you hang a sharp lip.
00:09:49Go.
00:09:50Go.
00:10:00Okay, Alex.
00:10:01I'm with you.
00:10:02I'm right behind you.
00:10:04All right.
00:10:04Let's take this guy down.
00:10:06I go right.
00:10:07You go left.
00:10:08Okay.
00:10:09Ready.
00:10:09Ready.
00:10:09Son of a bitch.
00:10:31He's going up like a frigging rock.
00:10:33We're at 45 angels and climbing.
00:10:55They're over the safety limit, sir, and still climbing.
00:10:57Alex, the planes can't take this.
00:11:05Come on, baby.
00:11:06Don't let me down.
00:11:13God damn.
00:11:14This sounds like I can fly.
00:11:15Come on.
00:11:16Come on.
00:11:17Come on.
00:11:18Come on.
00:11:19Come on.
00:11:20Come on.
00:11:21Come on.
00:11:22Come on.
00:11:23Come on.
00:11:24Come on.
00:11:25Come on.
00:11:26Come on.
00:11:27Come on.
00:11:27Come on.
00:11:27Come on.
00:11:47They're over the line, sir.
00:11:48Damn it.
00:11:49Golf Alpha, break off and return to base.
00:11:52Fox, you're breaking up.
00:11:54Say again.
00:11:54Golf Alpha, break off and return to base.
00:11:57Fox, you're broken.
00:11:58Fox, you're broken.
00:11:59Please say again.
00:12:00That's enough, Colonel.
00:12:01There will be no international incidents in my area.
00:12:04Return to base.
00:12:05That's an order.
00:12:06Do you copy?
00:12:08That's affirmative, sir.
00:12:10I heard you that time.
00:12:11Golf Alpha returning to base.
00:12:13Damn it.
00:12:14We almost had him.
00:12:16We almost had him.
00:12:17I hate leaving unfinished business.
00:12:19No.
00:12:20What you hate is following the rules.
00:12:21The lights'
00:12:23That fire, take this power.
00:12:24Of course, the chief's
00:12:50Hey, you see that mountain over there?
00:12:56Yeah, Phil, I see that mountain.
00:12:57My dad used to take me to the mountains a lot when he was a kid.
00:13:01He used to say that legends are born in the mountains.
00:13:04And that's the place where the human race comes into contact with something higher.
00:13:08Why, you don't have to tell me about legends.
00:13:10I was born in Colorado.
00:13:20I was born in Colorado.
00:13:50First age drops off, right?
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:55What is this?
00:13:56Right.
00:13:57Drops off.
00:13:59Right?
00:14:03Come on.
00:14:09Hey.
00:14:10Hi.
00:14:12Sorry to bartend like this.
00:14:14Sandy, how you doing?
00:14:15Hi.
00:14:16What, asleep already?
00:14:18She conked out after the soup.
00:14:19Must have been boring soup.
00:14:20Oh.
00:14:22What's up?
00:14:24That's a new tactic you generally want us to work on.
00:14:27Oh, you don't waste any time, do you?
00:14:29I hope it's nothing dangerous.
00:14:30No, no.
00:14:31A little fancy, maybe.
00:14:32Not dangerous.
00:14:33Never dangerous.
00:14:35Fancy?
00:14:36Hmm?
00:14:36Looks pretty good on paper, though.
00:14:38Yeah.
00:14:38Of course, the real test comes, you know where.
00:14:40Here, take a look at this one.
00:14:41All right.
00:14:42Uh, there.
00:14:44Oh.
00:14:46Daddy, you and me were talking.
00:14:49Oh, right.
00:14:50I'm sorry.
00:14:51Look, we're in the middle of a little family discussion.
00:14:52Do you mind?
00:14:54All right.
00:14:55Where were we?
00:14:56The first stage drop-off.
00:14:58First stage, right.
00:14:59Okay, listen, after we get the first stage ready, all we have to do is find a good launch
00:15:02site.
00:15:03Yeah.
00:15:03We're building a rocket.
00:15:04Ah, rocket.
00:15:06Will you come when we launch it?
00:15:09Wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:15:10Yeah!
00:15:11Okay, Sandy, come on, it's time.
00:15:16Kiss Daddy.
00:15:16All right, kiddo.
00:15:18Can I kiss Daddy?
00:15:19Nice, sweetheart.
00:15:21Bye, sweetie.
00:15:23All right.
00:15:27I'm all yours.
00:15:28Show me this fancy plane.
00:15:30At this point, the number one aircraft puts its nose down, fires its afterburners.
00:15:36It'll be impossible for the fighter to lock on.
00:15:38However, having come this close, he'll probably opt to pursue.
00:15:41At which point, the number two aircraft does a barrel roll, comes in on the guy's tail,
00:15:47and bingo.
00:15:51What do you think?
00:15:54What do you think?
00:15:55It's risky.
00:15:56It is.
00:15:57Should work, though.
00:15:58Should, hell.
00:15:59It'll work.
00:16:01Have you chosen a trial site yet?
00:16:03Yes, we were thinking of going north to the Mongrado.
00:16:06Altitude?
00:16:076,000.
00:16:09It's a bit low, isn't it?
00:16:10But acceptable.
00:16:12Will, stay within parameters, sir.
00:16:14Yes, I've heard that before.
00:16:16You have my words, sir.
00:16:22Okay, it's a go.
00:16:25Don't screw up.
00:16:31All right.
00:16:32All right.
00:16:54All right.
00:16:56All right.
00:17:56Phil, are you there?
00:18:02No.
00:18:03Sorry.
00:18:04I'm thinking about my father.
00:18:06Since we upset the mountains with our jet noise, we can't think he's right.
00:18:10Nah, they probably just think it's thunder.
00:18:13All right, remember the parameters.
00:18:14Heading 202, speed 600 knots.
00:18:18202, 600 knots.
00:18:20Roger.
00:18:28Wait until the signal, Phil.
00:18:35What the hell?
00:18:37Alex!
00:18:38Alex!
00:18:39What's happened?
00:18:40It's a light!
00:18:43Alex!
00:18:44Do you read me?
00:18:45Phil, let's get the hell out of here.
00:18:48You copy?
00:18:49Phil!
00:18:50You copy, Phil!
00:18:52Phil!
00:18:58God damn it!
00:19:03I feel reversed.
00:19:05Reverse!
00:19:07Phil, get the hell out of there!
00:19:08Oh my God.
00:19:35Oh my God.
00:19:36Excuse me, sir.
00:19:57Yes?
00:19:57We still haven't picked up those two F104s.
00:20:01That's funny.
00:20:02They should be on final approach by now.
00:20:03Call them.
00:20:06Golf Alpha Fox.
00:20:08Golf Alpha Fox.
00:20:10Come in, Golf Alpha.
00:20:14Golf Alpha Fox.
00:20:16Golf Alpha Fox.
00:20:18Do you read me?
00:20:19Keep trying.
00:20:20, if truth.
00:20:33Oh.
00:20:34Oh.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:35You read me.
00:20:40Oh.
00:20:40Oh.
00:20:41Oh.
00:20:41Oh.
00:20:41Oh.
00:20:41What?
00:20:43The glory has to be held, range 2.0.
00:21:13There they are, sir, just passed the outer marker.
00:21:43Oh, Foxy.
00:21:47What, just one?
00:21:49Right, thanks.
00:21:53Sir, there's only one aircraft and it's coming in with its landing gear on it.
00:21:59Jesus, give me a helicopter, I'm going out there.
00:22:08Golf Alpha! Golf Alpha!
00:22:11Your gear's not down! Golf Alpha! Your gear's not down!
00:22:18Dude, what are you doing?
00:22:20What are you doing?
00:22:21Hey, did you do your homework last night?
00:22:22Yeah.
00:22:23You did.
00:22:24I'm glad, finally.
00:22:25Get your landing gear down, goddammit. Get your landing gear down.
00:22:40Get your landing gear down, goddammit. Get your landing gear down.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:54How long have you done?
00:22:55I have to follow the other aircraft.
00:22:56You couldn't help me.
00:22:58How long have you done?
00:23:00I think so.
00:23:02I don't know.
00:23:03What are you doing?
00:23:04Oh, my God.
00:23:34Oh, my God.
00:24:04Oh, my God.
00:24:34Can you tell me, Phil?
00:24:36Phil, did he make it?
00:24:38What happened up there?
00:24:41Did he make it?
00:24:43Did he make it?
00:24:45Get him out!
00:24:46For you, sir.
00:24:53Fox?
00:24:55Yes, sir.
00:24:56Right away, sir.
00:24:57I'm going to go.
00:24:59I'm going to go.
00:25:05I'm going to go.
00:25:09OK.
00:26:12The wreckage of Philip's plane, they couldn't find any trace of the body.
00:26:19What happened up there?
00:26:21I don't know.
00:26:27We were flying over the Magrado and there was this explosion of light.
00:26:37Light?
00:26:40Light.
00:26:42What kind of light?
00:26:45I don't know.
00:26:47I was blinded.
00:26:50The last thing I saw was Philip's plane disappearing into it.
00:26:55That's all I remember.
00:27:00That's all I remember.
00:27:00That's all I remember.
00:27:30He was glad to be flying with you.
00:27:48He said you were born.
00:27:51You were born to fly.
00:28:00All I have is an empty coffin.
00:28:11Christina, I don't know what happened up there.
00:28:16But I promise you I'm going to find out.
00:28:22Oh, God, I wish he were here.
00:28:30Please, be more specific, Colonel.
00:28:35I wish I could be, sir.
00:28:37You have no idea what happened?
00:28:39Oh, I've got lots of ideas, sir.
00:28:41A meteorite burning up in the atmosphere?
00:28:45A satellite?
00:28:47Maybe an uncharted comet?
00:28:49I've even considered weather balloons.
00:28:51Technically, that's all possible, but highly unlikely.
00:28:56There is one other possibility.
00:29:01Go on.
00:29:06A flying object, sir.
00:29:08Of non-terrestrial origin?
00:29:12Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:29:14Before we venture into the realm of science fiction,
00:29:16I think we must first determine the mechanics of the accident.
00:29:19I concur.
00:29:21Proceed, Colonel.
00:29:21Our examination of the wreckage shows clearly that aircraft number two crashed into the mountain.
00:29:31So he must have gone off course.
00:29:33Can you account for that?
00:29:35No, sir.
00:29:35What was your exact position in respect to the mountain?
00:29:40We were skirting it, sir.
00:29:42Number two was behind you.
00:29:44I assume so.
00:29:46You assume so?
00:29:48He was behind me.
00:29:49To the right or to the left?
00:29:51To the right.
00:29:52He was...
00:29:52To the right.
00:29:55Are you sure?
00:29:57Yes, sir.
00:29:59At a certain point, as you've already stated, you made a sharp turn to the right.
00:30:04Rather suddenly, it appears.
00:30:06No, sir.
00:30:07Not suddenly.
00:30:09Did you or did you not turn to the right?
00:30:11I did, but there was nothing sudden or abrupt about it.
00:30:16For the sake of hypothesis, let's say you did turn suddenly.
00:30:20Is it not possible, then, that in order to avoid a collision, your wingman also changed course?
00:30:25And in doing so, lost control of his aircraft and crashed into the mountain.
00:30:29I repeat.
00:30:31I made no such maneuver.
00:30:34Is it possible or not?
00:30:37It's possible.
00:30:38But that's not what happened.
00:30:42How can you be so sure?
00:30:44Didn't you just state that you were dazed by a sudden burst of light?
00:30:48I remember everything very clearly up to that point.
00:30:51So you can't rule out that he might have done it afterwards.
00:30:53On the other hand, we can't rule out the possibility that the wingman crashed because he was dazed by the light as well.
00:31:00Do you really believe, Colonel, that there was a burst of light?
00:31:03Are you insinuating I made this up?
00:31:06Yes, to justify yourself.
00:31:09What happened to your wingman is entirely your responsibility.
00:31:13And you defend yourself by resorting to lies and the wildest of inventions.
00:31:16I believe, sir, that we have no valid grounds on which to base any conclusions.
00:31:21Until the flight and voice recorders have been decoded, I therefore request a postponement until then.
00:31:26In the interim, the term of Colonel Longhi is to be grounded.
00:31:37This hearing is adjourned.
00:31:38You want to be guided by yourself.
00:31:46I can't explain the lies.
00:31:50A fictional book will help.
00:31:53Will help.
00:31:57To make me understand.
00:32:00What's something in a hand?
00:32:03To whines of red.
00:32:03I don't know why it's so hard
00:32:08It's so hard to just pretend and keep on living
00:32:14It's so hard to what you do
00:32:19It's so hard to just pretend and keep on living
00:32:33It's so hard to just pretend and keep on living
00:33:03But I will not pretend because all men's a friend
00:33:08He understands I don't know why it's so hard
00:33:15It's so hard to just pretend and keep on living
00:33:21It's so hard to know what to do
00:33:25It's so hard to just pretend and keep on living
00:33:35I'm sorry, but this tape is out
00:33:55That young lady asked for it a moment ago
00:33:57Do you have any idea how long before she's finished?
00:34:02Well, why don't you ask her?
00:34:04Right
00:34:04There are thousands of reliable reports that confirm the existence of this phenomena
00:34:13Sightings have been made by pilots in flight
00:34:18Recorded on the radar screen
00:34:20And filmed and photographed on numerous occasions
00:34:24And these mysterious objects have been reported
00:34:28To have humanoid occupants
00:34:31Alleged eyewitnesses all agree on their accounts of landings that have been observed
00:34:38Oh, I'm sorry, I was just wanting to know when you might be done
00:34:43With the tape
00:34:45Well, I'm almost finished
00:34:47Ah
00:34:47Who is that guy?
00:34:52Professor J.H. Thomas
00:34:53He's a UFO researcher and vice president for Contact International
00:34:57Ah
00:34:58Are you interested in UFOs?
00:35:02I'm doing a search for an English magazine
00:35:05In any case, if you want documentation
00:35:08You should check Brindsay de Poire French and Gordon Grayton
00:35:11They're scientific treatises, but I'm sure you can handle them
00:35:14Right
00:35:17Well, thanks
00:35:19I'm sorry
00:35:28What were those names again?
00:35:32Better write them down for you
00:35:38Ah, you forgot one
00:35:42Yours
00:35:46Are we talking UFOs or close encounters of the more common variety?
00:35:54Well, that's entirely up to you
00:35:56Here
00:36:03Call me when you want to know more about UFOs
00:36:06Ah, thank you
00:36:07Isabella
00:36:09Nice
00:36:10There, that ought to do it
00:36:26Wait, I'll be right back
00:36:28All right
00:36:29Were you and Philip good friends?
00:36:42Yes
00:36:43Could not be good friends with Philip
00:36:46I can't believe he's dead
00:36:48In the mountains
00:36:50In the mountains, when there's an accident
00:36:51We say somebody is missing
00:36:53Until we find the body
00:36:55That's why I didn't come to the funeral
00:36:58You know, Philip used to talk about you a lot
00:37:02You told me how you took him to the mountains
00:37:05He was determined to become a mountain climber like me
00:37:09But he became a pilot instead
00:37:13Well, flying's a lot like climbing a mountain
00:37:15Oh, no, it isn't
00:37:16Nothing like it
00:37:18Climbing a mountain, reaching its summit
00:37:20Is something different altogether
00:37:22The top of a mountain
00:37:24Is the end of one road
00:37:25The beginning of another
00:37:26The place
00:37:28Up at the top
00:37:29Farthest from the earth
00:37:31And closest to heaven
00:37:32Where the human race
00:37:34Comes into contact with something
00:37:36Higher
00:37:37That's right
00:37:40I've spent most of my life trying to find out
00:37:48I still don't know
00:37:50Did you ever climb the Mongrado?
00:37:57No
00:37:58Once, when I was a young man
00:38:00I led a scientific expedition
00:38:03Looking for a prehistoric campsite
00:38:05Did you ever find it?
00:38:07We found two rock pictures
00:38:09Oh, you couldn't really tell
00:38:11What they represented
00:38:12Looked like two moons or suns
00:38:15Descending towards earth
00:38:16Symbols
00:38:18I'm coming, Grandpa
00:38:18Maybe
00:38:19Stuff is dangerous
00:38:24I'll come
00:38:25What you got?
00:38:27W-N-Y
00:38:28For that
00:38:29W-N-Y, huh?
00:38:31Is that a secret code?
00:38:35What's it mean?
00:38:36We love you
00:38:37Ah
00:38:38It's dangerous
00:38:46Better stand back
00:38:48Three
00:38:59Two
00:39:00One
00:39:02Arnold was flying in a white semicircle around the area
00:39:30When a bright flash lit up the sides of the aircraft
00:39:33That's exactly what happened to me
00:39:34Listen to this one
00:39:34This happened in England
00:39:35There were two pilots on a light reconnaissance flight
00:39:37And they saw what they described as a very bright star
00:39:40There's been hundreds of cases just like yours
00:39:49Put everything over here
00:39:51Unfortunately, nobody wants to talk about them
00:39:56And when they do, it's usually to deny that they ever happened at all
00:39:58It's a nice place
00:40:01Do you think that could happen here?
00:40:09That they'd actually keep it a secret?
00:40:13Did you really expect them to believe you?
00:40:15Yes
00:40:15Why wouldn't they?
00:40:17It happened for Christ's sake
00:40:18I'm not making any of this up
00:40:19It happened
00:40:19My cockpit was flooded with light
00:40:22It's strange
00:40:23Blinding light
00:40:25Listen, Alex
00:40:27You don't have to convince me
00:40:28I know these things happen
00:40:30It's them you have to convince
00:40:32In the end, we have determined
00:40:38That in the case in question
00:40:39There's no evidence of extraordinary circumstances
00:40:43After careful assessments of the flight data and voice recorder
00:40:48This board has come to the conclusion
00:40:51That the accident was a result of an inexplicable pilot error
00:40:55On the part of the wingman
00:40:56The board therefore finds
00:40:59That no responsibility can be imputed to the mission leader
00:41:02And no reference to the incident shall appear on his record
00:41:06Colonel, you are hereby restored to flight status
00:41:09This inquiry is closed

00:42:56Delta Bravo, clear for takeoff
00:42:58Wind, 290, 1, 2 knots
00:43:01Delta Bravo, do you read me?
00:43:14You're clear for takeoff
00:43:15My name is Miguel
00:43:16The
00:43:26Alpha, ready for takeoff
00:43:30When they told me about it, I couldn't believe it.
00:43:53What got into you, Alex, why did you abort?
00:43:55I'm not sure I'm ready to fly just yet.
00:43:57In fact, I'm not sure about anything anymore.
00:43:58The board found you blameless. What happened to you?
00:44:01The board. They didn't listen to me. They never heard a word I said.
00:44:04They knew you weren't responsible.
00:44:05Well, who was then?
00:44:07But dismissing this whole thing as pilot error doesn't help me.
00:44:10It doesn't help Philip.
00:44:13And furthermore, it's not the truth.
00:44:15Then tell me, what is the truth?
00:44:19Look, something very strange happened up there.
00:44:23The light was unearthly.
00:44:27Bullshit. What do you mean unearthly?
00:44:30Unidentified flying objects, for Christ's sake.
00:44:33UFOs.
00:44:34I don't know how else to say it.
00:44:36U. F. O.s.
00:44:40It's weird, isn't it?
00:44:43I used to think it was weird, too.
00:44:45It's been a little funny.
00:44:46UFO.
00:44:46But now I've seen them with my own eyes.
00:44:49It's not so funny anymore.
00:44:51So what do I do?
00:44:54Stick my head in the sand, pretend the whole thing never happened?
00:44:57What do you want to do?
00:44:58No, I don't know.
00:45:03I just...
00:45:05I don't know.
00:45:07You damn well should know.
00:45:10You were trained to perform under pressure, not give way to doubt and uncertainty.
00:45:14You're either in or out.
00:45:18I'll give you two days to think about it.
00:45:19I'll give you two days to think about it.
00:45:49I know it's late.
00:45:52I've been relieved from duty.
00:45:55Grounded.
00:45:56Well, you'd better come in, then.
00:46:06God, I'm so tired.
00:46:13Maybe they're right.
00:46:16I am looking for something that doesn't exist.
00:46:19Maybe I should just forget the whole thing.
00:46:23Go back to flying airplanes like nothing ever happened.
00:46:29And you want me to tell you it's okay?
00:46:33Is that what you want?
00:46:36Because I won't.
00:46:38Here, I thought you were my friend.
00:46:41I am.
00:46:42I am your friend, Alex.
00:46:46I am.
00:46:50Maybe it's about time we made this friendship official.
00:46:52We watch the stars shimmer like distant lakes in the blackest depths, and we wonder.
00:47:10Are there living, thinking beings like us somewhere out there?
00:47:13Like me, maybe.
00:47:15Like you?
00:47:16Not a chance.
00:47:17Alex, I'm serious.
00:47:18So am I.
00:47:28Alex.
00:47:29Hmm?
00:47:30Do you think we're alone?
00:47:31Why?
00:47:32What did you have in mind?
00:47:34In the universe.
00:47:35Ah, yes.
00:47:37That.
00:47:39Them.
00:47:42Do you know what a light year is?
00:47:45Yes.
00:47:45It's 365 days without ice cream.
00:47:49No, it's the distance light travels in a year.
00:47:51I knew that.
00:47:53Well, did you know that if you traveled...
00:47:56Me?
00:47:57Alone?
00:47:58No, I'm sorry.
00:47:59We.
00:48:00If we traveled 50,000 light years, we would have just reached the edge of our own galaxy.
00:48:06Well, I like the sound of that.
00:48:07Our own galaxy.
00:48:09Well, there are millions of them that we know of.
00:48:11So I don't think anybody would mind if we kept one to ourselves, do you?
00:48:14Hmm.
00:48:16Pretty hard to believe, though, isn't it?
00:48:19Mankind has all this to himself.
00:48:21That he's the sole inhabitant of all that space called infinity.
00:48:30We're not alone.
00:48:51What's this?
00:48:55Japanese clay figurines.
00:48:57They're 5,000 years old.
00:48:59Jesus, they look like today's astronauts.
00:49:01Right.
00:49:02Here, look at this.
00:49:04These two lines correspond to the most frequent UFO routes.
00:49:09They've been keeping track of them since 1954.
00:49:11See, this one crosses North America and comes down over Europe along this mountain range.
00:49:17Right over the Mangrado.
00:49:18Exactly.
00:49:19What if this is all just coincidence?
00:49:22I suppose it could be, but look at it this way.
00:49:25Both lines cross only areas of strategic importance.
00:49:29Neither of them bother with the third world or even with developing countries.
00:49:32Hmm.
00:49:34How did somebody so pretty get to be so smart?
00:49:38Coincidence?
00:49:39Coincidence?
00:49:40Coincidence?
00:49:41Coincidence?
00:49:42Coincidence?
00:49:43Coincidence?

00:50:06Coincidence?
00:50:07Good morning, sir.
00:50:30Come in. We've been waiting for you.
00:50:33Sir.
00:50:34Oh.
00:50:37Two days ago, an executive jet crashed into the boat, Brad.
00:50:42The information is classified, but there's a board of inquiry working on it right now.
00:50:46They probably won't learn anything.
00:50:48They already had their chance, and they blew it. They'll probably blow it again.
00:50:51That's a very serious accusation, Colonel.
00:50:53It's the truth.
00:50:55Colonel, the general asked for this meeting to hear your opinions, not your complaints.
00:50:59That is my opinion.
00:51:01Nobody wants to get to the bottom of this.
00:51:03What if there's another crash in the same area, a commercial airliner with hundreds of people on board?
00:51:07What then?
00:51:09Pretend it didn't happen?
00:51:10You're over the line, Alex. Drop it.
00:51:12Maybe I should go to the news media with this.
00:51:15But tell them what?
00:51:16Tell them that there's something out there that's a hazard to all air traffic, and you don't want to know what it is.
00:51:22That's blackmail.
00:51:23No, sir. It's a statement of fact.
00:51:25Jim.
00:51:26Colonel, what would you do if it were up to you?
00:51:33Two things.
00:51:34First, close the area to all air traffic.
00:51:36Second, I'd like to go up there, sir, and have a look around.
00:51:41You realize, of course, the danger involved in such a mission.
00:51:45Just give me three tornadoes in support.
00:51:46This is our objective.
00:51:58We'll fly a low approach, 3,000 feet.
00:52:01I'll play decoy and come from the west.
00:52:04Marco, you'll come from the east.
00:52:05Robert, you guys from the north.
00:52:07Franco, you'll come from the southwest.
00:52:10Now, once we reach the restricted area, right on the deck.
00:52:14Marco, up these ravines.
00:52:17Franco, follow the riverbed over the deck.
00:52:21Piece of cake, right?
00:52:24I hope you think it's that funny when you get there.
00:52:26Sorry, sir.
00:52:28Robert, I'm afraid you guys got the tricky one.
00:52:31Under the pipeline.
00:52:33It's important.
00:52:34Under the pipeline.
00:52:37Now, once you break into the open, you'll have 58 seconds to rendezvous.
00:52:40I'll already be there, waiting.
00:52:4258 seconds.
00:52:43No more, no less.
00:52:45Now, we don't know what we'll find when we get there.
00:52:47Hell, we don't even know what we're looking for.
00:52:51So keep your eyes open, huh?
00:52:52Mission code name is Blue Wings.
00:53:02Welcome to the
00:53:10We're waiting for you.
00:53:15Woo.
00:53:16That was great.
00:53:18We're waiting for you.
00:53:23Ciara, we're waiting for you.
00:53:55Can't you sleep?
00:54:07It's funny.
00:54:11I'm scared.
00:54:14That's a natural emotion, considering.
00:54:18Considering?
00:54:19After all, you are an earthling.
00:54:25It's just that I know there's something up there, and I'm not sure I'm ready to face it.
00:54:31I'm not sure I'm ready to face it.
00:54:37Let's go.
00:55:08All set, Colonel?
00:55:09Yes, sir.
00:55:10This is Professor Forentino from the Astrophysics Space Center.
00:55:13He'll be monitoring your mission.
00:55:14Very good, sir.
00:55:16Good luck, Colonel.
00:55:18Gentlemen?
00:55:37One last thing.
00:55:55No heroes, okay?
00:55:59Remember, we're men before we're military.
00:56:01We're just going to go up there, have ourselves a little look around, and report.
00:56:05We're just going to go up there, have ourselves a little look around.
00:56:34After you, gentlemen.
00:56:53Forentino's a man of few words, but a good astronomer.
00:56:56We know all about him.
00:57:16We've mounted a video camera on the F-104.
00:57:19Good.
00:57:20That'll be very helpful.
00:57:22Professor?
00:57:30Counter espionage, huh?
00:57:32Let's go.
00:58:27Now this monitor is the onboard video camera and this is the tracking monitor.
00:58:57Power, this is Blue. Ready for takeoff.
00:59:04This is Blue 2. Ready.
00:59:10Blue 3 ready.
00:59:15Blue 4 ready.
00:59:18Blue, clear for takeoff. Wind, 2-2-0, 1-2 knots.
00:59:25Blue, clear for takeoff.
00:59:32Blue, clear for keepoff.
00:59:35Blue, clear for takeoff.
00:59:37Blue, clear for takeoff.
00:59:41I don't know.
01:00:11They're up, sir.
01:00:20They're in the air, sir.
01:00:23Got to help?
01:00:34Blue, this is Blue Leader. Ready to break.
01:00:41Are you ready? Are you ready?
01:00:46Are you ready?
01:00:56Okay, Blue. Three seconds to break.
01:00:59Three, two, one, go!
01:01:03Sir, the F-104 is in the target area.
01:01:15The tornadoes are entering the gorges.
01:01:29They're going to lose radar contact.
01:01:30Okay, pal. Three seconds to the gorge and then we're at the dam.
01:01:38Get ready. It's 250 feet straight up.
01:01:40That all?
01:01:41Wait till you see it.
01:01:47Goes up and boost to 500.
01:01:49Gain trim, altitude 50 feet.
01:02:05Four miles to the pipeline.
01:02:07Roger.
01:02:10I'm going to lose at the end of the gorge and we'll have it on visual.
01:02:12Roger.
01:02:12Damn it! Let's stop for the next fuck!
01:02:23Put us on the deck, Bob, or we're going to take it out.
01:02:25We're going to lose altitude. We're sticking out like a sore thumb.
01:02:44Roger.
01:02:46Look out for a big outcrop on your left.
01:02:4818 seconds to rendezvous.
01:02:50Got it.
01:02:52Shit!
01:02:55I'm going to lose.
01:03:25I don't know.
01:03:55I don't know.
01:04:25I don't know.
01:04:27Christ, what the?
01:04:31Professor, what the hell is that?
01:04:44It beats me.
01:04:45Can't you do something?
01:04:58Look at that gas!
01:04:59I can't see!
01:05:03I can't see!
01:05:06Pull up, Pat.
01:05:07Get us out of here, for God's sake.
01:05:11Pull up!
01:05:12Let me drive!
01:05:15Watch out, Blue Leader.
01:05:16I'm going to put it in the left.
01:05:19Blue Leader!
01:05:19Blue Leader!
01:05:21Break!
01:05:22Break!
01:05:23Holy shit!
01:05:26Blue Leader!
01:05:27Blue Leader!
01:05:28Do you copy?
01:05:29Alex?
01:05:30Alex, can you hear me?
01:05:31What's happening?
01:05:36Come, sir.
01:05:37They're all over the place.
01:05:38Yes, Alex.
01:05:39We see them.
01:05:40We've got big trouble here, sir.
01:05:42This is Professor Ferentino, Colonel.
01:05:44Listen to me very carefully.
01:05:46We can see the lights, but we need more information.
01:05:50Can you hear me?
01:05:52Describe what's happening.
01:05:54Fox, Blue Leader.
01:05:55Situation extreme.
01:05:57We've got objects.
01:05:59All quadrants.
01:06:01Uh, collision course.
01:06:03I request...
01:06:03Mission.
01:06:04Mission.
01:06:06Damn it!
01:06:09What the fuck are these suckers with?
01:06:12Hang in there, buddy.
01:06:16Grab the stick.
01:06:16Don't be an asshole.
01:06:18What?
01:06:18It's more!
01:06:22I lost control!
01:06:25No!
01:06:26No!
01:06:28Pull her up!
01:06:29Pull her up!
01:06:32Injured!
01:06:33Injured!
01:06:37Blue!
01:06:37Blue!
01:06:38A lot of rescue teams.
01:06:48Blue Leader, Fox.
01:06:52Blue Leader, Fox.
01:06:53Do you read me?
01:06:55That's affirmative, sir.
01:06:57Bring them down, Colonel.
01:06:59Bring your men back to base.
01:07:01Roger, sir.
01:07:02They will do it.
01:07:03Just don't try.
01:07:04No wings explode later.
01:07:10Terminate mission.
01:07:11Now.
01:07:12Let's get the hell out of here, guys.
01:07:13You copy?
01:07:17I can't get away from them!
01:07:20The fuckers want to kill us!
01:07:24Now, you bastard!
01:07:26Hold your fire.
01:07:27Hold your goddamn fire!
01:07:29What the fuck are you doing?
01:07:30You're heading straight to the mountain!
01:07:37Fuck it!
01:07:39It's out!
01:07:40Go!
01:07:41Go!
01:07:41Go!
01:07:42Go!
01:07:47Oh, my gosh.
01:07:49Oh, my gosh.
01:07:50Shh.
01:07:51Shh.
01:07:51Oh, my gosh.
01:07:52Oh, my gosh.
01:07:54Oh, my gosh.
01:07:56Oh, my gosh.
01:07:58Oh, my gosh.
01:07:59Oh, my gosh.
01:08:00We're out of there.
01:08:09All right.
01:08:14Oh, my gosh.
01:08:17It's incredible.
01:08:18What is, Alex?
01:08:20Go ahead.
01:08:23Stop.
01:08:24They're not attacking anymore.
01:08:26It's unbelievable, sir.
01:08:27I'm sorry.
01:08:27Absolutely unbelievable there.
01:08:32They're all over the place, but they're just...
01:08:33They're just hovering.
01:08:35Do you read me, sir?
01:08:37Yes, Blue Leader.
01:08:38I read you.
01:08:39I read you.
01:08:43Sir.
01:08:47Alex, go ahead.
01:08:48I read you.
01:08:49I read you.
01:08:50I read you.
01:08:50It looks like...
01:08:51Jesus, I think they're...
01:08:55Can't believe what, Alex?
01:08:59I think they're...
01:09:01Can't believe what?
01:09:03Yeah.
01:09:03Put me through the department.
01:09:05I think they're trying to communicate.
01:09:08Can you tell me what's happening, Blue Leader?
01:09:11I don't know, sir.
01:09:13I just...
01:09:14I have this healing...
01:09:15It's a sensation.
01:09:18Try and be a bit more specific, Alex.
01:09:30Fox, Blue Leader.
01:09:31They're leaving.
01:09:32They're leaving.
01:09:33They're disappearing.
01:09:35Can you read me, sir?
01:09:36Loud and clear, Alex.
01:09:38I read you five.
01:09:39Let's step outside.
01:09:42I want to talk to you alone.
01:09:49Fox, Blue Leader.
01:09:50Returning to base.
01:10:09Fox, Blue Leader.
01:10:22So
01:10:52So, let's go.
01:11:22Congratulations, Colonel. Well done.
01:11:43Thank you, sir. It was the most incredible sensation.
01:11:46They came at me.
01:11:47They looked as if they were trying to communicate.
01:11:52I'm absolutely sure.
01:11:53Colonel, this is Mr. Greco of Counter Espionage.
01:11:56Colonel, we quite understand your excitement here today.
01:12:00But in fact, nothing really very extraordinary happened up there.
01:12:04Isn't that right, Professor Ferentino?
01:12:06Judging by what we saw and the information we received from you,
01:12:09we believe what you saw were electronically charged gas molecules.
01:12:19Ball lightning.
01:12:20Ball lightning!
01:12:22That's right, an electromagnetic phenomenon.
01:12:24It's rare, but in certain circumstances, like today,
01:12:27it produces those luminous effects that you saw.
01:12:29You may have seen ball lightning. I didn't.
01:12:31Alex.
01:12:32What I saw were objects, flying objects,
01:12:34that moved as if they had a will and an intelligence.
01:12:38And I believe they were trying to communicate with me.
01:12:40You need a rest, Colonel.
01:12:42You've been under a lot of strain.
01:12:44Things look much clearer to you in the morning.
01:12:47Things look pretty clear to me right now.
01:12:49Professor Ferentino is a respected scientist.
01:12:52He knows what he's talking about.
01:12:54I see.
01:13:04I see.
01:13:04Come on, let's get out of here.
01:13:17Alex, what happened?
01:13:19They deny it.
01:13:20Doesn't matter what happened up there,
01:13:21they don't want to hear about it.
01:13:23Electromagnetic phenomenon.
01:13:24What a waste.
01:13:25Well, you can't stop now.
01:13:28I can, but what am I supposed to do?
01:13:31Because I'm fresh out of ideas.
01:13:34I'm not.
01:13:36Come on.
01:13:38Is it possible to instigate an encounter?
01:13:41In several cases, the subjects of a close encounter
01:13:44have never been the same.
01:13:46It is, after all, an experience that goes beyond.
01:13:50Just tell me how.
01:13:51Now, return to the area of the recurring sightings.
01:13:56You must empty your mind of everything.
01:14:00Of passion.
01:14:01All emotion.
01:14:03You must have no fear.
01:14:07No anxiety.
01:14:08Professor, what altitude should I approach?
01:14:11No.
01:14:12No.
01:14:12No airplanes.
01:14:14No machines.
01:14:15On foot.
01:14:17Remember, total acceptance.
01:14:18You must climb the mountain.
01:14:24How will I know when I'm in their presence?
01:14:28Angel hair.
01:14:29A UFO almost always leaves
01:14:32this curious, fibrous filament behind
01:14:35on rocks, on trees, on shrubs.
01:14:39Now, this will be your proof
01:14:40that you are in their presence.
01:14:43I'm sorry, Professor.
01:14:44We need you in the lab.
01:14:45Oh.
01:14:46I'll return in just a moment.
01:14:47I'm coming with you.
01:14:58Isabella.
01:14:59Alex, I'm coming with you.
01:15:00No.
01:15:01No, no.
01:15:02I had to climb this mountain.
01:15:04No, it's...
01:15:04It's too risky.
01:15:06Why?
01:15:07Well...
01:15:08Because I'm a woman, right?
01:15:10God, I don't believe it.
01:15:12Before you met me,
01:15:12you knew nothing about UFOs.
01:15:14What they were or where they came from.
01:15:15Nothing.
01:15:16Absolutely nothing.
01:15:17I love you when you get angry.
01:15:18I can't believe you said that.
01:15:19That's the biggest sense up to any woman with half a brain.
01:15:22Oh, damn you, Alex.
01:15:23I love you when you talk dirty.
01:15:25What's your problem?
01:15:26I love you when you talk to me?
01:15:27I love you when you talk to me.
01:15:29I love you when you talk to me.
01:15:30I love you when you talk to me.
01:15:31That's my problem.
01:15:33Oh, Alex.
01:15:37Wow.
01:15:40I have no choice, Isabella.
01:15:43Philip was my best friend.
01:15:46It's his father, their mom.
01:15:48Um, I have to do this by myself.
01:15:54Okay.
01:15:54Okay.
01:15:54Okay.
01:15:54I have no choice.
01:16:21Impressive, isn't it?
01:16:27Ready to move on?
01:16:29You're not tired?
01:16:30A little.
01:16:31The secret is not to climb with your feet.
01:16:33With your head.
01:16:51Come on.
01:16:53You've got to get to the top before dark.
01:17:05Come on.
01:17:07You've got to get to the top before dark.
01:17:21What if no?
01:17:37This is an accident.
01:17:41Stop.
01:17:45You all right?
01:17:52I ain't.
01:17:53Let's see.
01:17:55Let me see.
01:17:59That's what you were looking for.
01:18:15I'm afraid you'll have to go on alone.
01:18:26Will you be all right?
01:18:27Oh, don't worry about me.
01:18:29This won't be the first night I've spent in the mountains.
01:18:31I'll be fine.
01:18:32Hey, go on now.
01:18:33It's getting late.
01:18:34I'll be back.
01:18:36Sure enough.
01:18:45I'll be back.
01:19:15I'll be back.

01:25:15Oh, don't it seem too hard?
01:25:19It's hard to understand this.
01:25:22But I will not pretend because someone's a friend.
01:25:28You understand?
01:25:29I don't know what to do.

01:26:18It's so hard to just pretend and keep on living.
01:26:22And for that for so pretend and keep on living.
01:26:28There are two things in the dark,
01:26:29So it's so hard to just pretend and keep on living.
01:26:31There are three things in the dark.
01:26:32And there are three things in the dark,
01:26:36so it seems dangerous that big do not кажется to be recognized by,
01:26:38But there is something that you could find.
