Mitch MacAfee es miembro del equipo técnico que está probando un nuevo dispositivo de radar para el ejército. Un día, mientras vuela, ve un OVNI que da varias vueltas alrededor de su avión. Tras la señal de alerta, muchos escuadrones intentan interceptar el objeto sin éxito. Los militares creen que ha sido una falsa alarma de Mitch, pero empiezan a llegar numerosos informes de aviones desaparecidos en la zona. Cuando Mitch y la hermosa matemática Sally Caldwell regresan a la ciudad en un avión militar, son atacados por el OVNI y se estrellan. Tras ser rescatados por un lugareño, éste les habla de "La Carcaña", un ser mitológico alado que surca los cielos de la comarca. Cuando Mitch y Sally llegan por fin a la ciudad, se enteran de que hay más informes de aviones desaparecidos y de que el ejército ha logrado fotografiar el objeto. Se trata de una gran nave alienígena, aparentemente indestructible, que sigue en sus ataques un rumbo definido. Todo hace suponer que pronto llegará a Nueva York.

00:00:08The End
00:00:45Once the world was big, and no man in his lifetime could circle it.
00:00:51Through the centuries, science has made man's lifetime bigger and the world smaller.
00:00:57Now the farthest corner of the earth is as close as a push button.
00:01:02And time has lost all meaning as man-made devices speed many, many times faster than sound itself.
00:01:10Here, near the top of the world, free men struggle with the elements to create some measure of defense to
00:01:17protect that self-same freedom.
00:01:23Distant, early warning radar.
00:01:26Sensitive electronic devices to detect the presence of objects in the sky, including bombing planes and guided missiles.
00:01:33And rain clouds and homing pigeons.
00:01:37New radar installations must be calibrated by the flying of controlled test flights to check the accuracy of the equipment.
00:01:45And to chart a detection profile of the area in order to pinpoint blind spots the radar cannot penetrate.

00:02:08Test flight, test flight, test flight, this is a snowman 3.
00:02:11Give me a reading.
00:02:12Over.
00:02:14Snowman 3, this is test flight.
00:02:16Flying vector 340 degrees from IP.
00:02:20Angels 10, speed 400.
00:02:22How do you read me?
00:02:24Over.
00:02:25Everything checks but the altitude, Mitch.
00:02:26We read you at angels 9.
00:02:33Altimeter reads 10,000 on the nose.
00:02:35Better check the level on the antenna mount.
00:02:38Roger.
00:02:39How about myself, mathematician?
00:02:41She got enough numbers to feed into her machines yet?
00:02:44Do you have all the information you need, Miss Caldwell?
00:02:46One more run, please.
00:02:47Low level coming in.
00:02:50One more, Mitch.
00:02:52Vector 105 degrees.
00:02:54Low.
00:02:55Roger.
00:02:56Turning 180 degrees.
00:02:58Low approach.
00:02:59This is test flight.
00:03:01Over and out.
00:03:18I didn't know pilots were allowed to do things like that.
00:03:21Not Air Force pilots, you're right.
00:03:23But Mitch is an electronics engineer.
00:03:25He may work for the government, but ma'am, he kind of makes his own rules.
00:03:28So does a three-year-old child until his mother spanks him.
00:03:32Mother, dear mother, I'm ready if you are.
00:03:35I, uh, must have left the switch on.
00:03:40An electronics engineer, a radar officer, a mathematician and systems analyst, radar operator, a couple of plotters.
00:03:53People doing a job.
00:03:55People doing a job well, efficiently, serious, having fun, doing a job.
00:04:01Situation, normal.
00:04:04For the moment.
00:04:06Date, the 17th of the month.
00:04:08Sky cloudy, overcast.
00:04:11Visibility limited.
00:04:13Time, 1332 hours.
00:04:17A significant moment in history.
00:04:19A moment when an electronics engineer named Mitchell McAfee saw something in the sky.
00:04:25Something that was almost the beginning of the end of life on this earth.
00:04:34McAfee reported instantly by radio the sighting of a UFO, an unidentified flying object.
00:04:47The radar officer replied that it was impossible.
00:04:50According to the radar scope, except for Mitch's plane, there wasn't a single solitary object of any nature whatsoever.
00:04:57Nothing in the sky for a radius of hundreds of miles.
00:05:01McAfee didn't care what the radar showed or didn't show.
00:05:04He knew what he saw with his own eyes.
00:05:06And he was determined to get a better look.
00:05:09McAfee turned.
00:05:10And so did the unidentified flying object heading toward him.
00:05:16There was no mistaking the urgency in McAfee's voice.
00:05:20Something.
00:05:21He didn't know what.
00:05:22But something as big as a battleship had just flown over and passed him.
00:05:26At speed so great he couldn't begin to estimate it.
00:05:30In national defense, it's better to be safe than sorry.
00:05:33The alert was sounded to scramble interceptions.
00:06:04Well?
00:06:05Well what?
00:06:07Well, let's not play games, Major.
00:06:08Did you then find it?
00:06:10Mr. McAfee, if you were in uniform, I'd have you under arrest and facing general court-martial charges.
00:06:15Unfortunately, you're a civilian and I can't touch you.
00:06:17What are you talking about?
00:06:18But I can send a report in on you and I will.
00:06:21By the time I get through with you, Mr. Electronics Engineer, you'll be lucky if they let you test batteries
00:06:25for flashlights.
00:06:27Look, Major Bergen.
00:06:29I was flying a final calibration flight.
00:06:31I spotted a UFO, I reported it.
00:06:34Does that make me a criminal, a traded to my country, or some kind of a psychopath?
00:06:38McAfee, you're an electronics man, an expert on radar.
00:06:41Sure, that's what they pay me for.
00:06:43If there was something in the air, something flying that you could see, would radar pick it up?
00:06:49Well, yes, but...
00:06:51Would radar pick it up, yes or no?
00:06:54Yes.
00:06:55There were three radars on you.
00:06:56Every minute you were in the air, not one of them, not one, saw anything but you.
00:07:00Look, me...
00:07:01When I was told this, you knew it.
00:07:02Nevertheless, you persisted with your little joke.
00:07:04Easy now, Bergen.
00:07:05You continued to yell wolf until somebody pushed the panic button and scrambled a flight of interceptors.
00:07:10Great.
00:07:11Great, so your buzzboys flew around, they couldn't find anything, so now you're mad and want me to pay for
00:07:16the fuel they burned up or the time they wasted or something else real smart.
00:07:20The flight was scrambled and dispersed to cover as wide an area as possible.
00:07:24And thanks to your not-so-funny false alarm, Mr. McAfee, one of those planes didn't come back.
00:07:29The plane and pilot both are missing.
00:07:36Major Bergen.
00:07:37What?
00:07:40Yes.
00:07:42Yeah, yes.
00:07:44Call out the standby crews.
00:07:46You better reshuffle your duty rosters.
00:07:47There'll be plenty of sweat on this one.
00:07:50Look, Major, I'm sorry about the pilot, but that was no false alarm.
00:07:54Don't come off it, Mitch.
00:07:56You've done enough hard with your flying battleship.
00:07:57Just let it-
00:07:58Just a moment, Ms. Garlock.
00:08:00That call.
00:08:02A transporter airline's plane is reported overdue and missing.
00:08:06Oh, no.
00:08:08Sixty passengers and a full crew aboard.
00:08:11Got a distress call from the pilot, and nothing.
00:08:14No more contact.
00:08:17Engine trouble?
00:08:17No.
00:08:19No.
00:08:19The pilot yelled something about a UFO, and the radio went dead.
00:08:27And our radars?
00:08:29Nothing.
00:08:31Nothing but the transpolar plane, alone in the sky.
00:08:39Well, we're finished up here, Major.
00:08:42Is our transportation ready?
00:08:44Plane and pilot at the field.
00:08:46Fly you straight through to New York.
00:08:48Thanks.
00:08:50Let's go, Sally.
00:09:00Okay.
00:09:02Let's go, Terry.
00:09:03Come on.
00:09:04Come on.
00:09:05Go ahead.
00:09:05How come on?
00:09:19Come on.
00:09:20Hang on.
00:09:20Hang on.
00:09:20I'll be back in a minute.
00:09:24Hi, Pete.
00:09:26Getting too rough to work back there.
00:09:27I thought the poop on the weather was.
00:09:29We'd have it soft all the way into New York.
00:09:30Seems to be a local front, Mitch.
00:09:32How about flying over it?
00:09:34Can do.
00:09:35Wait till I call in.
00:09:38This is Air Force Zebra Love, 7979,
00:09:41calling New York International Airport.
00:09:43Over.
00:09:44Zebra Love, 7979.
00:09:47This is New York International Airport.
00:09:49Over.
00:09:50Altitude 8,000.
00:09:51Airspeed 250.
00:09:53Meeting unexpected storm activity, Adirondack region.
00:09:57Request permission to change altitude to 12,000.
00:10:00Over.
00:10:01Zebra Love, 7979.
00:10:04Permission granted.
00:10:05Over.
00:10:07Zebra Love, 7979.
00:10:09Roger.
00:10:10Out.
00:10:11Like I said, no sweat.
00:10:14Thanks, Pete.
00:10:15I'll put in a good word for you with a major.
00:10:17Oh, thanks, Lowe.
00:10:35Well, I won't know until I run into the computer,
00:10:37but it looks like the profile of it dips here like this
00:10:41for an extensive blind spot.
00:10:56Well, either that antenna is really tilted,
00:10:58or we've got a topographical high spot here we didn't figure on.
00:11:01It's shading the whole strip.
00:11:03Do you get that police map?
00:11:05Oh, yes.
00:11:06I can.
00:11:07Mitch.
00:11:09Mitch, come up here.
00:11:18What gives?
00:11:19Sit down, Mitch.
00:11:21Well?
00:11:22Something might be coming up.
00:11:24Such as what?
00:11:26Unidentified flying object.
00:11:28Flew right over us.
00:11:30Oh, not you, too.
00:11:31Well, save the cracks.
00:11:32I've already called it into international.
00:11:35Mitch, I sure enough saw something like a cloud,
00:11:38only it was moving too fast for any cloud.
00:11:41Why did our course from northeast?
00:11:42Two bits that never showed up on a single radar scope.
00:11:47What?
00:11:49That mine.
00:11:51I don't see anything but sky.
00:11:54Neither do I, now.
00:11:56I lost it when it got right overhead.
00:12:00Where did that come from?
00:12:02We don't register a hatful of wind.
00:12:04Brother, that was more than a hatful.
00:12:31We don't register a hatful.
00:12:43You all right?
00:12:43I think so.
00:12:44How about you?
00:12:45I'm okay.
00:12:45Pete's a bad tip.
00:12:46Let's go.
00:12:47Let's go.
00:13:06The sound is going to blow up.
00:13:25What happened?
00:13:26It felt like something colliding with us up there.
00:13:29Yeah.
00:13:30Flying battleship that wasn't there.
00:13:36Hello!
00:13:38Hello!
00:13:39Here!
00:13:40Over here!
00:13:42Over here!
00:13:58Mr. Mayor, it's a good apple jack.
00:14:00I make him myself.
00:14:02A lot of fun for the snakebite.
00:14:09Hello, Pierre.
00:14:12Mr. McAfee?
00:14:13That's right.
00:14:16Is that the power?
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:21Okay, boys.
00:14:31They made a reservation for you on a commercial flight into New York City.
00:14:34I'm sending a car to take you and the young lady to the airport.
00:14:38What about the wrecked plane?
00:14:39We've got orders to seal off the area.
00:14:42Real hush-hush.
00:14:43What happened?
00:14:44Did you tangle with a flying saucer or something?
00:14:46Oh, nothing so domestic as a flying saucer officer.
00:14:49Just a flying battleship.
00:14:53Well, have a good time with your flying battleship.
00:14:55Your car will be here soon.
00:14:58Where's the plague, Pierre?
00:14:59North 40, past the road.
00:15:01Let's go, boys.
00:15:16Hello?
00:15:19Oui, this is the farmer Pierre Broussard.
00:15:23Oh, eh, my man?
00:15:28General Van Buskirk for you, Mr. McAfee.
00:15:32Uh-oh.
00:15:34Feel another snakebite coming on.
00:15:35More medicine.
00:15:37Well, flying battleship, pink elephant, same difference.
00:15:40You really should try buttermilk instead.
00:15:41I said it looked like a battleship, not that it was a battleship.
00:15:45Could have called it an overgrown adding machine,
00:15:47then at least you'd have believed me.
00:15:51General Buskirk, McAfee here.
00:15:56Yes, sir, I'm aware that the pilot called in a UFO.
00:16:00No, I didn't see anything myself this time.
00:16:04Neither did Miss Caldwell.
00:16:07Oh, the radar picked up nothing but our plane in the area.
00:16:12Well, I was kind of expecting that, too.
00:16:16Joke.
00:16:18False alarm.
00:16:21Look here, General.
00:16:22What kind of an infantile jackass do you take me for?
00:16:24I tell you that...
00:16:32Yes, sir.
00:16:34Yes, sir.
00:16:37Yes, sir.
00:16:40I understand, sir.
00:16:43When the shepherd cried woof, they believed him.
00:16:46The first time, at least.
00:16:52The Civil Aeronautics Board is sending up an investigating team first thing in the morning.
00:16:56So is the Air Force as soon as the CAB is done.
00:16:59When we get to New York, we ought to keep ourselves available for questioning.
00:17:05This grass must have a hole in it.
00:17:06It keeps disappearing.
00:17:08How's the jug holding out, Pierre?
00:17:10You like Pierre's apple jack, oui?
00:17:11Ah, perfect antidote for snakebite, thunder, lightning, and disbelieving generals.
00:17:16Fill her up, Pierre.
00:17:21What's that?
00:17:22Something scarred animal.
00:17:39It's Pierre.
00:18:06Over here.
00:18:21Easy, Pierre.
00:18:22Easy.
00:18:23You're safe.
00:18:23You're in the house.
00:18:24Cacogne.
00:18:25It was de cacogne.
00:18:27Assault.
00:18:29What's a cacogne, Pierre?
00:18:31Come on.
00:18:32Tell us about it.
00:18:34It's just a devil in the storm.
00:18:36The face of the wolf in the body of the woman with wings bigger than I can tell.
00:18:43You probably saw an eagle, Pierre.
00:18:45Oh, no.
00:18:46It was la cacogne.
00:18:48La cacogne.
00:18:50Oh, I remember.
00:18:51Now I read it somewhere.
00:18:52It's a superstition.
00:18:53A legend that the French-Canadians started and came across the border with.
00:18:57Yeah, it vaguely rings a small bell with me, too.
00:18:59It was probably just the lightning in the storm, Pierre.
00:19:02You just imagined the whole thing.
00:19:04No, I saw la cacogne.
00:19:07Here.
00:19:07Take another swallow with this.
00:19:19Come in.
00:19:27What's the matter with Pierre?
00:19:29He thinks he saw something weird in the sky.
00:19:31I saw her.
00:19:37He can't get it out of his head.
00:19:39Yeah, I know.
00:19:40I live up this way myself.
00:19:43There's a lot of the old folks around here who believe that yarn.
00:19:46But this is the first time I ever heard anybody claim he really saw the old witch.
00:19:50You come to take us to the airport?
00:19:52Yeah, a car outside.
00:19:54Oh, I hate to leave him like this.
00:19:56Now, don't worry, ma'am.
00:19:57Joe here will stay with him.
00:19:58We'd better hurry.
00:19:59They're holding that plane for you.
00:20:01Come on, Sally.
00:20:02They're holding a plane for us.
00:20:03We'd better get with it.
00:20:04We haven't even thanked him.
00:20:06I'm afraid the social amenities won't mean very much to a man in Pierre's condition.
00:20:09He's right, ma'am.
00:20:11You'd never get through the way he's scared stiff right now.
00:20:14Scared?
00:20:15So he thought he saw a big bird.
00:20:17Why should that paralyze him so with fright?
00:20:20Didn't he tell you?
00:20:21Tell us what?
00:20:22The legend.
00:20:23According to the story they tell, if you see this big bird, it's a sign that you're going to die
00:20:29real soon.
00:20:35Our plane's waiting.
00:20:36We'd better go.
00:20:37Okay, Sergeant.
00:20:40Okay.
00:20:47We're going to die.
00:21:02THE END
00:21:34THE CASE YOU TAKE IS BETTER THAN YOU GIVE
00:21:37A MANY-FACETED CREATURE, THIS MR. McAfee
00:21:40First engineer and pilot, and now lover and poet
00:21:44Oh, the line of poetry was from Shakespeare
00:21:47I know, but where did that impulse come from?
00:21:50Left field, maybe
00:21:52I like baseball
00:21:54Or maybe just sitting next to a pretty girl
00:21:56That's enough in itself sometimes
00:21:58Even sitting next to mademoiselle mathematician?
00:22:01Or should we stick to the baseball reference?
00:22:04There are figures and there are figures
00:22:07Inescapable logic
00:22:08Corny, but true
00:22:10You almost overwhelm me
00:22:13Almost?
00:22:15Well, let's finish the job
00:22:17Look at that moon
00:22:23Speaking of baseball and left field
00:22:27Somebody warned me that you make up your own rules
00:22:29Whoever said that's no friend of mine?
00:22:31But he's a friend of mine
00:22:33Sabotage
00:22:33Oh, much too dramatic
00:22:36Let's stick to baseball and say instead
00:22:38Out, trying to steal second
00:22:39Back to the bush leagues
00:22:41Finished
00:22:41A quitter, I knew it
00:22:43No fight, no spirit
00:22:44Of course, the umpire could always reverse that decision
00:22:48No
00:22:48No, no shortcuts
00:22:49Must follow the pattern
00:22:51You see, first the minor leagues
00:22:53And then the major leagues
00:22:54I stick to the rules, Mitch
00:22:56Sorry about that
00:22:58Why be sorry?
00:22:59You can always
00:23:03Pattern
00:23:04Hmm?
00:23:07Pattern
00:23:07What's the matter?
00:23:11Pattern
00:23:11I need one of your maps
00:23:12The orthographic projection
00:23:14The pull to equator
00:23:14Give it to me, will you?
00:23:15Well, sure
00:23:24I think I have it here somewhere
00:23:30Ah, here it is
00:23:35What's that?
00:23:40Open your map
00:23:48Now
00:23:50Where I sighted the UFO
00:23:54Where the search plane disappeared
00:23:56The transpolar airliner
00:23:59Our plane at Pierre's
00:24:01And finally
00:24:03The Navy patrol plane
00:24:06Well, you were muttering about a pattern
00:24:08Well, see it
00:24:10Well, no
00:24:12No straight line
00:24:14No curve
00:24:14Nothing
00:24:15Wait
00:24:30A pattern
00:24:31A perfect pattern
00:24:33In time and distance
00:24:35Each incident
00:24:36Each cross
00:24:38Later than the one before
00:24:39Each one further out in the spiral
00:24:42From the center
00:24:42You mean
00:24:44Something
00:24:45Something in the air
00:24:47Flew a pattern like that?
00:24:48Yeah
00:24:50Something I saw
00:24:51Something that flew over
00:24:53And passed me in the air
00:24:56Well, it would have to be
00:24:57Traveling at incredible speed
00:24:59To cover all the distance
00:25:00And the time involved
00:25:02Yeah
00:25:02That one
00:25:05Something that seemingly
00:25:06Destroyed four planes
00:25:07And barely missed you
00:25:08The first time
00:25:09Yes
00:25:12Something like
00:25:13Your flying battleship
00:25:19Okay
00:25:20Forget the whole thing
00:25:21Oh, well now
00:25:21Mitch, be reasonable
00:25:23Why that pattern
00:25:24Just to knock down
00:25:25A few scattered planes
00:25:26And what?
00:25:27A meteorite?
00:25:28Impossible
00:25:29A guided missile?
00:25:30Well, that would stop
00:25:31When the first plane had hit
00:25:32And who would launch it
00:25:34And for what reason?
00:25:35No, Mitch
00:25:37Coincidence, yes
00:25:38But pattern?
00:25:39No
00:25:40Here's your map
00:25:42Well, you are a child
00:25:44Mitch, think
00:25:45If there was anything
00:25:46Flying this kind of a pattern
00:25:48Why it would be tracked
00:25:48By dozens of different radars
00:25:50And none of them
00:25:51Spotted a thing
00:25:51So what?
00:25:53Well, maybe it was
00:25:53Pierre's Cacarnier
00:25:54With a head of a wolf
00:25:55And a body of a woman
00:25:56With wings as big as I can tell
00:25:58There's no need
00:25:59To be sarcastic
00:26:00Look
00:26:01Would you two mind
00:26:02Being quiet
00:26:03So the rest of us
00:26:04Can sleep?
00:26:05Thank you
00:26:15Sorry
00:26:17Maybe I was being childish
00:26:22Mitch McAfee
00:26:23Flying Sherlock Holmes
00:26:28I think you did make
00:26:29Better sense with your poetry
00:26:30Than you did with your
00:26:31Detective deductions
00:26:34I know another poem
00:26:35Oh?
00:26:37Be plain in dress
00:26:39And sober in your diet
00:26:42In short, my dearie
00:26:44Kiss me and be quiet
00:26:53Date the 18th of the month
00:26:55Sky clear
00:26:56Light clouds
00:26:58Visibility unlimited
00:27:00Time
00:27:0201815 hours
00:27:04A CAB plane
00:27:06Flies toward the scene
00:27:07Of the previous day's crash
00:27:08Involving Mitchell McAfee
00:27:10On board
00:27:12Four members
00:27:12Of the Civil Aeronautics
00:27:13Board investigating team
00:27:15And a pilot
00:27:16Time
00:27:180816 hours
00:27:20Another significant moment
00:27:21In history
00:27:36Once more
00:27:38A frantic pilot radios
00:27:39In a report
00:27:39On a UFO
00:27:40A bird
00:27:42A bird
00:27:43As big as a battleship
00:27:44Circling and preparing
00:27:46To attack the CAB plane
00:27:53To attack the CAB plane
00:27:53To attack the CAB plane

00:28:07To attack the CAB plane
00:28:08To attack the CAB plane
00:28:09To attack the CAB plane
00:28:19Oh, my God.
00:28:41Oh, my God.
00:29:10My orders are to bring you to the General's office at once, even if I have to take you into
00:29:14protective custody.
00:29:16Okay, Captain, don't get in a tizzy. You keep your shirt on, I'll go get my pants on.
00:29:24My sighting? The search plane, the trans-polar airliner, our plane at Pierre's, and the Navy patrol plane.
00:29:32Too much, and it fits too well to be just coincidence.
00:29:36There have been two more since the Navy plane. Private plane here, last night.
00:29:41The CAB plane with four passengers and a pilot here.
00:29:45All following your theoretical pattern, smack dab on the nose.
00:29:50No radar tracks, I suppose.
00:29:52As usual, since you started this crazy nightmare, nothing.
00:29:56Except about the planes.
00:29:58Did the pilots report anything?
00:30:00Not a word from the pilot of the private plane, but the CAB pilot reported a UFO.
00:30:05Did he say what it was?
00:30:07Yes.
00:30:08A bird.
00:30:09A bird as big as a battleship circled and attacked the plane.
00:30:17Believe me, Mr. McAfee, this is no joke.
00:30:20Oh, no.
00:30:21That plane was completely destroyed, and all five men on aboard seemed to have completely disappeared from the face of
00:30:27the Earth.
00:30:29Now, you're an electronics expert.
00:30:31Could there have been anything that big up in the sky and not be picked up by radar?
00:30:36Impossible.
00:30:37But I saw it myself.
00:30:41Yes.
00:30:42Three men reported they saw something.
00:30:45And two of them are now dead.
00:30:47Well, that makes me chief cook and bottle washer in a one-man birdwatcher society.
00:30:54Mr. McAfee, this is vitally important.
00:30:56Did you get a good look at it?
00:30:58No, it was just a blur as it went past.
00:31:01Oh, I wish I'd had a camera with me.
00:31:05Camera?
00:31:06General Buskirk, before I went out on this radar assignment with Mitch, I was doing earth curvature calibration work.
00:31:12Well, how does that help us on this?
00:31:13Well, we use film strips photographed from inside test rockets and from fixed cameras and observation balloons.
00:31:20Sally, maybe you've got it.
00:31:23If those balloons are still up, there's a bare possibility they photograph this thing, whatever it is.
00:31:32General Edward Considine, Pentagon.
00:31:35Priority, fast.
00:31:37Fast.
00:32:01Something's coming up now.
00:32:13Kill it.
00:32:15This film and all the information pertaining to it and the bird are classified as top secret.
00:32:19Notify all agencies and personnel involved who have handled the project or will handle it.
00:32:23Yes, sir.
00:32:26Johnson.
00:32:27Yes, sir?
00:32:27Put the entire command on combat readiness right away.
00:32:30Notify the Pentagon and have them tell General Considine I'm on my way.
00:32:33Yes, sir.
00:32:35Colonel Tyler Field, line one, please.
00:32:40Oh, Nate, Nate, Buskirk here.
00:32:42Warm up my plane and file a flight plan for me to National Washington.
00:32:47Right.
00:32:48They're coming now.
00:32:50Two extra passengers.
00:32:52Okay.
00:32:53You two are coming with me to Washington.
00:32:57Miss Caldwell, Mr. McAfee.
00:33:05There's some sort of bird, all right.
00:33:09There's no question of that.
00:33:14Miss Caldwell, is it possible that this, um, this bird has been flying in blind spot areas that our radar
00:33:21can't pick up?
00:33:22No, sir.
00:33:23I checked carefully.
00:33:24At least ten different radar sites should have tracked it.
00:33:27Mr. McAfee, could speed or altitude affect the ability of our radar to pick it up?
00:33:32No.
00:33:33There's no scientific or any other kind of reason in the world why our radars don't track it.
00:33:37They just don't.
00:33:38Period.
00:33:40And what you are saying in essence is that black is white and two and two make six.
00:33:44Look, General.
00:33:46I didn't invent this flying nightmare.
00:33:47I just saw it and reported it.
00:33:49The General understands, Mr. McAfee.
00:33:50He's not blaming you for anything.
00:33:52Relax, man.
00:33:53Relax?
00:33:53When do we stop relaxing and start doing something?
00:33:55Good sense isn't confined exclusively to civilians, Mr. McAfee.
00:33:58We know how to take care of ourselves and the country.
00:34:01Easy, Van.
00:34:02Easy.
00:34:02Take it easy.
00:34:04There's a general air alert on this very minute, son.
00:34:07Hundreds of planes from every command are combing the skies, searching for this overgrown buzzard.
00:34:13We'll find it all right.
00:34:15Never fear.
00:34:16And when we do, General, then what?
00:34:24Yes?
00:34:25Good.
00:34:27Where?
00:34:30Okay, this is official now.
00:34:31Pass them the word to shoot it down.
00:34:33No questions, no games, no stalling.
00:34:35Just shoot it down.
00:34:37Yes.
00:34:41Give me a tape on all air-to-ground and air-to-air channels and pipe it through a hotline
00:34:45to me here.
00:34:46One of our squadrons just spotted it.
00:34:48I've ordered them to attack and shoot it down.
00:34:51Our planes are armed with cannon, machine gun, and rockets.
00:34:54This should be the end of the big bird who was there but wasn't.
00:34:58You'll be able to hear it as it happens.
00:35:10This is Easy Baker Squadron Leader.
00:35:12Target below and to the side.
00:35:14See it?
00:35:15Yow, holy Toledo.
00:35:17I've seen some mighty big chicken hawks back on the farm, but man, this baby takes the cake.
00:35:22Honest to Pete, I'll never call my mother-in-law an old crow again.
00:35:28This is Easy Baker Squadron Leader.
00:35:30Heal off on signal.
00:35:32One pass and then you're on your own.
00:35:35widow.
00:35:54One pass and then you'll be able to attack the table.
00:35:56Let's go with it.
00:36:00The automated run number.
00:36:01190 horsepower and steamer.
00:36:01134 horsepower and steamer.
00:36:0410LAN�огод, air rocket, and air
00:36:12This is Easy Baker's squadron leader.
00:36:14It's got one of the planes.
00:36:15I must be losing my marbles.
00:36:17This isn't for real.
00:36:19Bullets, rockets, nothing touches it.
00:36:36Easy Baker's squadron leader.
00:36:38Charlie hit the silk when the bird got his plane.
00:36:40Now it...
00:36:42Charlie's gone.
00:36:44Shooting all.
00:36:59It doesn't make sense.
00:37:00Like we're hitting a battleship with a slingshot.
00:37:03It's going after another plane.
00:37:04Look out!
00:37:12Missions are warshot.
00:37:14We're going ahead for...
00:37:16No!
00:37:18It's coming after me!
00:37:20No!
00:37:20No!
00:37:24Machine guns.
00:37:26Cannons.
00:37:27Rockets.
00:37:29Nothing touched it.
00:37:31Those pilots.
00:37:33We'll find it all right.
00:37:35Never fear.
00:37:36The end of the big bird.
00:37:39You're right, Miss Caldwell.
00:37:41When we find it, what then?
00:37:47Phase two off standby.
00:37:49Operational.
00:37:51Notify the Joint Chiefs.
00:37:52Yes, sir.
00:37:56It doesn't make sense.
00:37:58It's just a bird.
00:37:59A big bird.
00:38:01Guns, cannons, rockets.
00:38:02It's just a bird.
00:38:03Sure, just a bird.
00:38:04Ten million dollars with a radar.
00:38:06Can't track it.
00:38:07Enough firepower to wipe out a regiment.
00:38:09Can't even slow it down.
00:38:11Sure.
00:38:11It's just a bird.
00:38:12What are we going to do?
00:38:13Just sit around here and weep?
00:38:15Oh, climb off our back, McAfee.
00:38:18And we're not running away.
00:38:19But it's hard to come up with answers when you don't even know what the question is.
00:38:23Being flip doesn't help any.
00:38:26I'm not criticizing either of you.
00:38:28Or the Air Force.
00:38:29Or those guys who just died trying to shoot that thing down.
00:38:31Now, I'm not being flip and I'm not wisecracking.
00:38:35I'm just scared.
00:38:37We all are, I guess.
00:38:39So let's face that and then try and do something about that bird.
00:38:42Any suggestions, McAfee?
00:38:44Sure.
00:38:45Electronic spitballs.
00:38:47Then.
00:38:48Close, General.
00:38:49Close.
00:38:50Only not electronic spitballs.
00:38:52Atomic spitballs.
00:38:57Yes?
00:38:58Phase two operational.
00:39:00All units alerted and ready.
00:39:02Good.
00:39:02Call for you, Dr. Carol Neumann at the research lab.
00:39:05Now, take it on two.
00:39:10This is General Considine, Dr. Neumann.
00:39:15Say that again.
00:39:18Good, good.
00:39:20You stay where you are.
00:39:22I'll be right over.
00:39:25Research lab's been kept right up to date.
00:39:27They've been working on the wreckage of that CAB plane and the plane that you two cracked up in.
00:39:32Find anything new, Ed?
00:39:33They think they've figured out what that bird is and where it came from.
00:39:37About those atomic spitballs.
00:39:40An hour before your plane landed in Washington,
00:39:43I ordered guided missiles with atomic warheads made ready
00:39:46for every launching site in the country where the fallout pattern makes it safe to explode them.
00:39:52The order you heard me give to make phase two operational
00:39:55was an order to fire those missiles
00:39:57the moment that bird is spotted anywhere.
00:40:02General, I'm sorry.
00:40:03I guess I...
00:40:04Don't apologize, son.
00:40:05I admire your spunk and you keep climbing on our backs
00:40:08whenever we've messed up any of the detail.
00:40:11Ma'am?
00:40:13Sorry, Mac.
00:40:14I guess we're all trying to do our best.
00:40:16You two better come along.
00:40:17You're up to your ears in this thing anyway.
00:40:19Come on, let's go.
00:40:27The atom is the basic building block of all matter.
00:40:32The atom this model represents is like every atom as we know it.
00:40:36The nucleus is positive.
00:40:38The electrons are all negative.
00:40:40In this respect, it has been maintained
00:40:42that all atoms are alike, but this is wrong.
00:40:45All wrong.
00:40:46According to the law of electrodynamics,
00:40:50all nature is symmetrical.
00:40:52It is in balance.
00:40:54And if there is matter,
00:40:55then there must also be antimatter,
00:40:58a symmetrical mirror image.
00:41:00Now, here we have a positive nucleus,
00:41:04negative electrons.
00:41:06In the reverse,
00:41:07we must obviously have a negative nucleus
00:41:10with positive electrons.
00:41:13science has proved that this is so.
00:41:16Not in this Earth, nor in this solar system.
00:41:19But somewhere in the universe,
00:41:21there are stars, planets,
00:41:23whole galaxies,
00:41:25made up of antimatter.
00:41:27What do you mean to say,
00:41:28Doctor, that this bird is made of antimatter,
00:41:33that it's reversed,
00:41:36inside out,
00:41:37a mirror image,
00:41:38as you called it?
00:41:39Just a minute, General.
00:41:41Doctor, it's been proven
00:41:43that antimatter exists,
00:41:44but it's also been proven
00:41:46that whenever it comes in contact
00:41:47with ordinary matter,
00:41:49they annihilate one another,
00:41:51blow up.
00:41:52Now, why didn't the bird explode
00:41:54when it was hit?
00:41:55Or when it touched something?
00:41:57You are both right and wrong.
00:42:00The bird itself is not antimatter.
00:42:03But the bird unquestionably
00:42:05radiates some sort of force,
00:42:07an energy screen,
00:42:08some invisible barrier.
00:42:10And that energy screen
00:42:12is antimatter.
00:42:14Guns, cannons, rockets.
00:42:16No wonder nothing touched it.
00:42:18Stuff hit the antimatter screen
00:42:19and blew up before it could get close.
00:42:21Mitch, this explains
00:42:22the failure of the radar.
00:42:24Yeah.
00:42:25No reflecting surface.
00:42:27The radar waves wouldn't bounce off.
00:42:30They'd slide around.
00:42:31So with no echo,
00:42:34no tracks.
00:42:36Doctor Noemann,
00:42:37a couple of questions.
00:42:39All this isn't just guesswork
00:42:41on your part.
00:42:42No, it is not guesswork, General.
00:42:45Evidently, this bird
00:42:46is able to open
00:42:48that antimatter screen
00:42:49to use its beak,
00:42:51its claws,
00:42:51its wings
00:42:52as destructive weapons.
00:42:56Now, here is part of the wreckage.
00:43:00Examination
00:43:00by a staff of scientists
00:43:02has told us
00:43:03the whole incredible story.
00:43:05It has been checked
00:43:06and double-checked.
00:43:10Is there anything else, General?
00:43:12Yes, Doctor.
00:43:14Where did this bird come from?
00:43:21Here is a piece of feather
00:43:23from the bird
00:43:23found in the wreckage.
00:43:25At least we call it a feather.
00:43:26We don't know what it is,
00:43:28only what it looks like.
00:43:29It has defied chemical analysis,
00:43:32the electroscope,
00:43:33every conceivable test.
00:43:35It contains no substance
00:43:38known on the Earth today,
00:43:40no element
00:43:41recognizable by man.
00:43:43Finding that out
00:43:44was expensive.
00:43:46How so?
00:43:47We had several
00:43:48of these feathers.
00:43:49This is the only piece left.
00:43:50As a last resort,
00:43:52we tried testing them
00:43:53in electronic analyzers.
00:43:56Look.
00:43:57Look.
00:44:04that bird
00:44:05is extraterrestrial.
00:44:07It comes from
00:44:08outer space,
00:44:09from some
00:44:11God-forsaken
00:44:12antimatter galaxy,
00:44:14millions and millions
00:44:15of light years
00:44:16from the Earth.
00:44:20No other explanation
00:44:21is possible.
00:44:26Our van will fly you too
00:44:28back to New York.
00:44:30I would appreciate it
00:44:32if you'd hold yourselves
00:44:32in readiness
00:44:33and of course
00:44:35you understand
00:44:35that everything
00:44:36that you have seen
00:44:36and heard
00:44:37is classified.
00:44:39My command is ready,
00:44:41Ed,
00:44:41and waiting
00:44:41at the end
00:44:42of a hot line.
00:44:43Just phone.
00:44:46Just phone, Van?
00:44:48Well, I'll need help.
00:44:50All the help I can get.
00:44:52We all will.
00:44:54The only trouble is
00:44:55that the last time
00:44:56I talked to a chaplain
00:44:57there wasn't any
00:44:57telephone line
00:44:59to the one and only place
00:45:00where we can get
00:45:01the kind of help
00:45:01that we need.
00:45:06General Considine,
00:45:08this is an emergency.
00:45:10Get me the
00:45:11Secretary of Defense.
00:45:13Up to now,
00:45:14only one man
00:45:15had seen the bird
00:45:16and lived.
00:45:17Among those
00:45:18who knew of it,
00:45:19its existence
00:45:19was a closely
00:45:20guarded secret.
00:45:22But even as
00:45:23arrangements were made
00:45:24for an emergency
00:45:24meeting of the
00:45:25President,
00:45:25the Cabinet,
00:45:26the National Defense
00:45:27Board,
00:45:27and the Joint Chiefs
00:45:28of Staff.
00:45:29Even then,
00:45:30the bird revealed
00:45:31itself to the world
00:45:32at large
00:45:32and complacency
00:45:34quickly turned
00:45:34to panic.
00:45:35Panic,
00:45:36terror,
00:45:37and horror.
00:45:39No corner of the
00:45:40earth was spared
00:45:41the terror
00:45:41of looking up
00:45:42into God's blue sky
00:45:43and seeing.
00:45:44Not peace and security,
00:45:46but the feathered
00:45:48nightmare on wings.
00:45:52The End
00:46:08The End
00:46:45Oh, I'm in.
00:46:47Well, I worked half the night running your figures through the calculating machine.
00:46:51I hope the results are what you want.
00:46:53Good. Thanks.
00:46:57Mitch.
00:47:01Oh.
00:47:11Oh, really?
00:47:12For two days and a night now, ever since we got back from Washington,
00:47:16you've had your nose buried in all those papers.
00:47:18Figuring, calculating.
00:47:20I mean, Mitch, you've got to stop to sleep and eat.
00:47:23I've been busy.
00:47:26What you're working on, have anything to do with the bird?
00:47:28Mm-hmm.
00:47:30To destroy the bird?
00:47:32Uh-huh.
00:47:33Well, will it work, Mitch?
00:47:37I don't know.
00:47:39I honestly haven't the faintest, foggiest idea.
00:47:44It's one of those cockeyed concepts that you pull down out of cloud eight somewhere in sheer desperation.
00:47:50Is there anything about this to General Buskirk or General Considine?
00:47:54And have them gently remind me to stay in my own backyard?
00:47:57No, thanks.
00:48:00That's the difference.
00:48:01There's only a million to one chance it'll work.
00:48:03It's just something to do instead of this deadly sitting around and waiting.
00:48:09Mitch,
00:48:11I've been thinking about the bird, too.
00:48:14Yeah, you and everybody else in the world.
00:48:17Ever stop to wonder why the bird came here?
00:48:20Could it have been for food?
00:48:23I mean, does the bird eat?
00:48:24In the sense that we understand eating.
00:48:27Well, Dr. Neumann says that it absorbs energy from the things it destroys, including humans.
00:48:34Sort of molecular osmosis.
00:48:38Could it have come here to rest?
00:48:40If it did, it sure shouldn't isn't.
00:48:43Right.
00:48:43So far as we knew, the bird just kept flying around the earth.
00:48:47Always flying, never stopping.
00:48:48Well, that's what bothered me, so I called General Buskirk.
00:48:52Hmm?
00:48:52Mitch, remember Pierre Broussard at the farm?
00:48:55Yeah.
00:48:56Him and his locker, Kanye, or whatever he thought he saw.
00:49:00Just goes to prove what they always say.
00:49:01Truth is stranger than fiction.
00:49:03Well, this was no fiction.
00:49:05Pierre did see something.
00:49:06He saw the bird.
00:49:08Twelve thousand feet up at night in a storm.
00:49:11No, the bird came down to earth.
00:49:12But you just finished saying that...
00:49:14Well, General Buskirk told me they found the mark of a giant claw in a field next door to Pierre
00:49:18Broussard's farm.
00:49:19And I know why.
00:49:20The bird came here to build a nest.
00:49:26A nest.
00:49:28Nest.
00:49:30Eggs.
00:49:33More birds.
00:49:35It's got to be true.
00:49:36There's just no other reason for it.
00:49:50General Buskirk, McAfee calling.
00:49:53This is urgent.
00:49:54Maybe gather up those papers for me, will you please?
00:49:57Take these two.
00:50:00General Buskirk?
00:50:01McAfee.
00:50:02Now, please don't argue or ask for reasons.
00:50:05I'll explain later.
00:50:06It's desperately important.
00:50:08I need a fast plane and then a helicopter.
00:50:12Please, please, General.
00:50:13Believe me.
00:50:13I know what I'm doing.
00:50:17Pierre Broussard's place, the farm.
00:50:21Right.
00:50:21We're leaving right now.
00:50:23Sally's with me.
00:50:24Yes.
00:50:25I'll go straight to the airport.
00:50:27We interrupt this program for an important announcement.
00:50:30Ladies and gentlemen, speaking from Washington, Lieutenant General Considine, United States Air Force.
00:50:38We are faced with a crisis.
00:50:40A crisis for which all the nations of the world, in unprecedented cooperative action, have found, as yet, no solution.
00:50:50Until we do, we shall not rest.
00:50:54We have tried every weapon in the arsenals of the mightiest armies on earth.
00:50:58They have proven worse than useless.
00:51:02Atomic hydrogen weapons, capable of wiping cities, countries off the face of the earth, are completely ineffective against this creature
00:51:12from the skies.
00:51:14Two days ago, all aircraft were grounded.
00:51:18Deprived of its source of food or energy, however the bird survives, the bird began a series of attacks on
00:51:26the ground.
00:51:27In a fantastic orgy of destruction, never before seen, nothing has been safe from attack by the bird.
00:51:35Cattle, horses, fields, homes, trains, all manner of transportation.
00:51:41It has become obvious that the bird is attracted by movement.
00:51:44Accordingly, your government, and all the governments of the world, have declared a state of emergency and instituted martial law.
00:51:54In addition to grounding all aircraft, all surface transportation, cars, trucks, buses, trains, ships at sea, all such traffic must
00:52:06be halted at once.
00:52:07The movement of food and essential supplies will be handled by the armed forces.
00:52:14Blackout conditions will be observed from sunset to dawn every night until further notice.
00:52:20Movement of any sort on the streets or highways during the daylight hours must be held to an absolute minimum
00:52:28and only where it has been authorized as essential.
00:52:33You have just heard General Considine speaking from Washington.
00:52:36Stay tuned here.
00:52:42Mitch.
00:52:44Mitch.
00:52:59Well, that plane is waiting for us.
00:53:01We've got to get up to Pierre's place.
00:53:24There it is!
00:53:36We've got to land before that decides to do it again.
00:53:44The guns.
00:53:45Two weatherby 378 magnets.
00:53:47They'll stop anything.
00:53:48Anything, Mitch?
00:53:49Well, anything with the bird, but we're looking for eggs.
00:53:52Without antimatter energy screens, you hope.
00:53:54Not like a conure?
00:53:55No, Pepe, not like a conure.
00:53:57A million times worse.
00:54:00Let's get out of here.
00:54:03Let's get out of here.
00:54:04Let's go.
00:54:05Let's go.
00:54:10Let's go.
00:54:35Let's go.
00:55:05Let's go.
00:55:08Let's go.
00:55:08Let's go.
00:55:08Let's go.
00:55:08Let's go.
00:55:12Let's go.
00:55:33Let's go.
00:56:03Let's go.
00:56:06Let's go.
00:56:09Let's go.
00:56:13Let's go.
00:56:20Let's go.
00:57:18Let's go.
00:58:11Let's go.
00:58:14Come on, man.
00:58:18Hey, man, who's afraid of the big, bad bird?
00:58:20Put on your lights.
00:58:21Get off the road.
00:58:23Don't worry about us.
00:58:24We've got salt bird's tail.
00:58:26Hey, watch out for that salt.
00:58:27Don't get in the carbs.
00:58:29Come on, let's go.
00:58:34Crazy kids.
00:58:35They don't know what they're doing.
00:58:37Dig you later, gator.
00:58:39Hey, daddy, or don't call us, we'll call you.
00:58:44Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:59:25the boy's badly hurt but he's alive the girl's unconscious there's a town up ahead with the
00:59:31hospital we'll take him there you and i are going into washington tonight i'll bring the car over
00:59:37here for the kids it's called well mcafee i'm a busy man i hope this isn't some sort of crackpot
00:59:56wild goose chase you and me both general well it's your dime boy what is it you want to show
01:00:01me
01:00:04how to shoot the bird out of the sky some new type of weapon no with regular guns bullets and
01:00:10bombs
01:00:10anything you want mcafee i told you that i haven't got time this general this idea of mine may prove
01:00:14to be as phony as a three dollar bill but i still think it's worth a listen now go ahead
01:00:18now i don't
01:00:20care whether that bird came from outer space or up a saddle river new jersey it's still made of flesh
01:00:26and blood of some sort and vulnerable to bullets and bombs if you can get past that antimatter
01:00:31energy screen right that's exactly what i think what i hope i figured out how to do i have just
01:00:38invested a dime of my own boy keep talking
01:00:44now this is a blow-up i had made of a bubble chamber photograph the chamber was bombarded with
01:00:51high-speed particles result a photograph of a trail made by what is known as a new mason
01:00:59but notice this hole this gap right here this gap is one of the most exciting and significant recent
01:01:07discoveries in all science you probably know about it dr neumann yes yes the formation of a temporary
01:01:12masic atom the mu mason with a hydrogen nucleus right but mu mason's are 210 times heavier than
01:01:20electrons which means that in a masic atom the electrons revolve around a nucleus at just a small
01:01:28fraction of the ordinary distance in the normal atom i know you don't understand all this general but
01:01:34stick with me now the masic atom is extremely small small enough to sift through the electron defenses
01:01:44of the ordinary atom and fuse with its nuclei atoms of matter or antimatter right doc now if this thing
01:01:53of mine works and we can get close real close and bombard that bird's antimatter energy shield with a
01:02:01stream of masic atoms i think we can destroy that shield the bird would be defenseless then except for
01:02:07beak claws and wings you could hit it with everything but the kitchen sink we've got kitchen sinks to spare
01:02:13son do you think you can do it well i kicked around some ideas i'm not sure they'll work but
01:02:18it's
01:02:19certainly worth a try well you need this lab dr neumann and his staff sally here to help with the
01:02:24math
01:02:24and a blank check for supplies and equipment it was yours before you finished asking for it mcafee time
01:02:30is running out today tomorrow a week from now maybe besides i'd hate to lose that dime i've got invested
01:02:37in you good luck son well anybody ready for some work work or maybe some magic that we need is
01:02:48a miracle
01:02:49here it is a miracle a dime's worth a miracle
01:02:58this weapon would have to create masic atoms not as rare and isolated laboratory phenomena
01:03:04but in tremendous quantities eject them through some aiming and propelling device so they could travel
01:03:10indefinite distances through the air to arrive with sufficient speed and insufficient numbers
01:03:15to bombard or destroy an antimatter shield truly a miracle of science especially since the scientific
01:03:23total life expectancy for a masic atom up to now measured in laboratories had been one two millions
01:03:30of a second
01:03:34failure
01:03:45failure
01:03:54after failure
01:04:04after failure
01:04:07and while a handful of dedicated people struggle to achieve the impossible panic spread to all corners
01:04:14of the earth panic and nightmare terror
01:04:44failure
01:04:45Ah!
01:04:47Ah!
01:04:56Ah!
01:05:20Mitch?
01:05:24Easy, son. Easy.
01:05:26You did your best.
01:05:28We can't have you killing the patient trying to cure the disease now, can we?
01:05:32A magnificent effort, Mitch. Magnificent.
01:05:34It's unfortunate it was doomed to failure from the start.
01:05:39Oh, great.
01:05:41Now, if somebody will just deliver the eulogy, the deceased can be safely laid away to rest.
01:05:45What's the matter with you? Are you all nuts or something?
01:05:48Mitch, are you all right?
01:05:49Sally, how long has it been since the explosion?
01:05:52About an hour and a half, two hours, I guess.
01:05:54Oh, we're wasting time.
01:05:55Easy, son. Easy.
01:05:57Is that bird still in the air?
01:05:59Why, yes.
01:06:00You still want to shoot it down?
01:06:02Well, yes, yes, sure.
01:06:04Well, then, for Pete's sake, let's get with it.
01:06:05General Buskirk has had a plane waiting in that field outside of New York ever since we started the experiments.
01:06:10We've got to get the equipment installed on that plane.
01:06:12Mitch, the apparatus didn't work.
01:06:15The experiments failed.
01:06:17Mitch, please lie down in bed.
01:06:18You were hurt in that explosion.
01:06:21Oh, of course you don't know.
01:06:24The explosion was no accident.
01:06:26I did it on purpose.
01:06:27I used the Masic atom projector.
01:06:29What?
01:06:31Sure, we had the basic wiring all fouled up.
01:06:34It was a simple matter of adjusting the polarity on the main condenser terminals.
01:06:37I figured it out while you two were asleep.
01:06:40Set it up right and try it then.
01:06:41Wait a minute, McAfee.
01:06:42Wait a minute.
01:06:42Are you trying to tell me that that machine of yours works?
01:06:45Sure.
01:06:46What kind of plane has Buskirk got waiting for you?
01:06:48An old, uh, stripped down B-25.
01:06:50Good.
01:06:51Maneuverability instead of speed.
01:06:52Yeah, the whole operation may depend on being able to turn on a dime.
01:06:55Well, then what blazes are we waiting for?
01:06:57Well, that's what I've been talking about for ten minutes.
01:06:59Get me my pants, will you, General?
01:07:00Oh, Sally, get out of here.
01:07:08We've installed the ejector nozzle in the tail of the plane, pointing to the back.
01:07:13Rewiring the plane's generating system, plus an added bank of batteries,
01:07:17should give us more than enough power.
01:07:18Now, what's your problem?
01:07:20How many people you need to operate this machine?
01:07:22A doctor, myself, and a calculator.
01:07:24Have you got someone coming up here for Sally to brief in a hurry?
01:07:26I don't want her on that plane.
01:07:28It's coming in from the city now.
01:07:30One question.
01:07:31Why do you aim that gimmick from the tail and not from the nose?
01:07:35Too dangerous in the nose.
01:07:36We might fly into our own missing bombardment and destroy the plane.
01:07:40Chances are, once we locate the bird and we're up in the air,
01:07:43the bird will chase us.
01:07:45And if it doesn't?
01:07:47We'll attract its attention somehow.
01:07:52Sandwiches and coffee.
01:08:04Bird's been sighted.
01:08:05Heading to the New York City.
01:08:06How long will it take you to finish?
01:08:07An hour and a half or two.
01:08:09Still got to connect the thing up.
01:08:10Ah, it's too long.
01:08:11We've got to take off in 15 minutes.
01:08:12You'll have to finish in the air.
01:08:14What about the calculator to replace Sally?
01:08:16Sorry, McAfee, we haven't got any time for that.
01:08:19Jim.
01:08:19Van, you'll fly.
01:08:20I'll backstop you.
01:08:21Clear the field for a takeoff.
01:08:22Right.
01:08:22Well, what are we waiting for?
01:08:25Get the rest of your stuff on board.
01:08:26Oh, Mr.
01:08:33Oh, no.
01:08:37Don't run away.
01:08:38Come on.
01:08:40Come on.
01:08:54Come on, Mr.
01:08:56Let's go.
01:09:51Oh, my God.
01:10:11There it is now, attacking the United Nations building.
01:10:30Take a pass at it.
01:10:31Oh, my God.
01:10:59Oh, my God.
01:11:02Oh, my God.
01:11:07Oh, my God.
01:11:37Oh, my God.
01:12:07Oh, my God.
01:12:08Oh, my God.
01:12:11Oh, my God.
01:12:13Oh, my God.
01:12:13The bird's after us.
01:12:14Chasing us.
01:12:15How are you doing?
01:12:16Ready in a minute.
01:12:17Oh, fast, boy.
01:12:18Fast.
01:12:22For God's sake, hurry, man.
01:12:24It's catching up with us fast.
01:12:27Got it.
01:12:27Close those circuits.
01:12:56It's all yours, General.
01:12:57It's all yours, General.
01:13:06steady.
01:13:13Steady.
01:13:16Fire rockets.
01:13:22You're up with us, General.
01:13:24Oh, my God.
01:13:27Oh, my God.
01:13:29Oh, my God.
01:13:39Oh, my God.
01:13:51We got it.
01:14:16We got it.
