Project UFO 2x11 - Sighting 4024 The Scoutmaster Incident
Transcript
00:00These are unidentified flying objects.
00:30Are they proof that we are being visited by civilizations from other stars?
00:37Or just what are they?
01:31Hold it.
01:33Okay, this will do fine.
01:35Oh, let's keep going, Mr. Laverture.
01:37What, and wind up in the middle of the swamp when the lights go out?
01:39No thanks, Jonathan. We'll camp here tonight.
01:42Okay, fellas, let's get to it, okay? Hup!
01:51Look, Jonathan, more slope.
01:53Let that air in and under, otherwise the pile will choke itself.
01:56All right.
01:57Easy, Chris. You want to be breathing smoke all night long?
02:01You're downwind from the campfire.
02:08Mr. McMurtry, quick!
02:10What's the matter, Sam?
02:11There, a light. It's here.
02:13What kind of light, a fire?
02:15No, a glow, a blue glow. It's wild.
02:18Hey, wow. See, I told you.
02:22What are you supposed to do?
02:24Could be marsh gas.
02:26It's been seen now and again between here and the gulf.
02:28That shape? I've never seen it that color.
02:31All right, fellas, now don't get excited.
02:33You guys stay here. There's snakes and stuff in the brush.
02:36Finish setting up camp, and if I'm not back in 15 minutes, you go get help, okay?
02:54Shh.
03:24Oh, my God.
03:54Oh, my God.
04:25Golly, look!
04:28We gotta go get help, quick!
04:30Yeah, come on!
04:44McMurtry!
04:45McMurtry, where are you?
04:54Mr. McMurtry!
05:25Captain?
05:27You said you'd be through today.
05:30Is that the model car you've been working on for the last two months?
05:33Oh, yeah. I ran into a little trouble.
05:36Trouble?
05:38What kind? Maybe I can help.
05:40I don't think so, but let's go outside and take a look.
05:43All right.
05:44All right.
05:45All right.
05:46All right.
05:47All right.
05:48All right.
05:49All right.
05:50All right.
05:51All right.
05:52All right.
05:53So let's go outside and take a look.
05:55What are we going outside for?
05:57The model.
06:03You got it out in the Jeep, huh?
06:05It's a...
06:18Aah!
06:19Model or real one?
06:21No, that's the model I've been working on.
06:23You mean that came out of a kit?
06:25Yep.
06:27Want to take a ride?
06:29You got it.
06:49Okay.
07:20What's this, Captain?
07:22That's the trouble I ran into.
07:24After I had everything finished.
07:28That was left over.
07:30You don't know where it goes?
07:32Uh-uh.
07:36Maybe it's the cigarette lighter.
07:38Hold on, hold on.
07:48Be back in a second.
07:50That's Captain Ryan speaking.
08:07Libby?
08:11Mississippi, huh?
08:13Yeah.
08:15I got it.
08:17I'll pick up the file before we take off.
08:19Thanks, Libby.
08:25Okay, who saw what, when, and how?
08:29That's the mystic part.
08:31The where is rich, lone Mississippi.
08:34Well, come on in.
08:36I can taste that cornbread now, Captain.
08:38I thought you might.
08:44Getting homesick, Harry?
08:46Well, sir, if you take a detour of about 174 degrees...
08:49and go yea miles,
08:51you'll be smack over the biggest, littlest town in South Carolina.
08:54Wouldn't help.
08:56You couldn't see six miles from 39,000 feet.
08:58No, sir, but I can feel it.
09:02Good shot, good shot.
09:06Good, good, good.
09:08It was. It was a real UFO.
09:10We saw it with our own eyes.
09:12So did Mr. McMurtry.
09:14Oh, it's just another one of his dumb stories.
09:16Here, keep shooting.
09:19You tell him, Mr. McMurtry. You saw it closest.
09:21It was a UFO. Tell him.
09:23Look, guys, let's not get carried away, okay?
09:25Sure, it was weird.
09:27In fact, I ain't never seen it like it before.
09:29And something knocked you out. And those burns.
09:31Look, I'm not gonna jump to any conclusions.
09:33But I... Now, listen, boys.
09:35What's happened has happened.
09:37There's no use spreading it around, okay?
09:39I mean, it'll just get blown all out of proportion.
09:41Now, let's get back to the game.
09:43Let's go. Move it. Hustle up.
10:13Captain Ryan, I'm Chief Morton.
10:15The one that called in about the sighting.
10:17Hello, Chief. This is Sergeant Fitz.
10:19Pleased to meet you, sir.
10:21Well, are you from around the delta, son?
10:23Six miles south of Carolina, sir.
10:25Oh, yeah, northern part of the state.
10:27Well, that's good.
10:29Well, I've got a question for you, Captain.
10:31What's your name, sir?
10:33I'm Mr. Fitz.
10:35And I'm Captain Ryan.
10:37Captain Ryan.
10:39I'm Chief Morton, the one that called in about the sighting.
10:41Six miles south of Carolina, sir.
10:43Oh, yeah, northern part of the state.
10:45Not a fine country.
10:47First look at Mississippi?
10:49Yes, sir.
10:51Well, let's all go into the office.
10:53I've been waiting on you gentlemen all morning,
10:55ever since I heard back from your place,
10:57the Foreign Technology Division.
10:59I don't know how foreign this thing we got here is,
11:01but it sure is throwing up a fuss.
11:03Have a seat.
11:05How do you want to work this?
11:07Want to get settled first?
11:09Well, the interstate sure changed this place.
11:11All that traffic pouring through,
11:13stopping off here in Yonder,
11:15more work than the body can handle.
11:17Only got me and two patrolmen and one squad car.
11:19Guess you all had the same problem at Six Mile, huh?
11:21Yes, sir.
11:23Our town grew up as tall as cotton overnight
11:25while we, uh...
11:31Chief, could you tell us why you called
11:33instead of Andrew McMurtry himself?
11:35Well, he wanted to at first,
11:37but then he got all excited
11:39and then just plum changed his mind and clammed up.
11:41Oh?
11:43Most people we interview won't stop talking.
11:45Well, you got to know, Andy, he's kind of quiet.
11:47I got a little profile on him for you
11:49from a local newspaper.
11:55Andrew McMurtry, age 31, unmarried.
11:59Teacher, junior high.
12:01Athletics, social studies.
12:03Served two tours in Vietnam.
12:05In 68 and in 71.
12:07Thanks, Chief.
12:09Nothing. Don't know what else I can tell you.
12:11He's, uh...
12:13He's just Andy, that's all.
12:15Nothing really special about him.
12:17Well, all right, Chief.
12:19We won't take up any more of your time.
12:21Hey, listen, it's been a pleasure.
12:23You know, uh, my granddaddy came
12:25from Lexington, North Carolina,
12:27southern part of the state.
12:29Never get a moment's chat.
12:31Chief Morton, hold on, please.
12:33Anything else I can do?
12:35Uh, yes, sir. If you don't mind,
12:37we'd like our calls and messages to come through here.
12:39It's a pleasure, son.
12:41Good hunting.
12:45Thank you, Chief.
12:47Chief Morton.
13:03Good.
13:11Jonathan,
13:13keep the drill running.
13:15Sure will.
13:17Hey, the real Air Force.
13:19It's gotta be about that UFO.
13:21We'd like to go out to the site when we're through here.
13:23If it's convenient, Mr. McMurtry.
13:25Just Andy. Sure, as soon as this period's over.
13:27That'll be about 45 minutes.
13:29Well, good. That'll give us time
13:31to check into the motel and get a change of clothes.
13:33We'll pick you up in 45 minutes.
13:35All right. I'll be waiting at the gym.
14:01It was dark, you know.
14:03At first, I thought it had to be marsh gas,
14:05because I'd seen that flaring up before.
14:07But the color was wrong.
14:09I figured maybe a plane was down.
14:11You take these backpacking trips
14:13with the boys often, Mr. McMurtry?
14:15Well, with good weather, we try to work some in.
14:17Nature studies, survival techniques.
14:19It's part of a statewide program,
14:21Explorers Club.
14:23I volunteered about three years ago when I moved here.
14:25I'd say about here is where we had our campsite.
14:27Boy, it sure been chewed up with the sightseers.
14:29Even out here in the boonies.
14:31Anyhow, like Chief Morton must have told you,
14:33I seen this weird light.
14:59Oh, my God.
15:29Oh, my God.
15:59Oh, my God.
16:29Oh, my God.
16:31Oh, my God.
16:57Mr. McMurtry.
17:01Now, when you woke up,
17:03you weren't aware that you'd been burned?
17:05Nope. My cap got singed and my jacket.
17:07Then about an hour later,
17:09my hand and my face started to sting.
17:11But Doc Bosley put some gunk on them,
17:13and, well, they don't bother me anymore, Captain.
17:15But they haven't healed yet, have they?
17:17No, but they don't hurt.
17:19Now, I ain't got radiation poisoning,
17:21if that's what you're thinking.
17:23We'll make sure, Mr. McMurtry.
17:25You didn't go to the hospital?
17:27No, but Doc is the hospital here in Richelum,
17:29and he said I was just fine.
17:31Hey, y'all, have I got a reading?
17:35That's my machete.
17:37I figured the boys would pick that up.
17:39Wait, don't touch it.
17:41It's not dangerous.
17:43It's just a high-magnetic reading.
17:45Well, that ought to prove something, huh, Captain?
17:47It might.
17:49We'd like to keep it for examination.
17:51We'll send it back to our lab,
17:53and we'll return it to you.
17:55Tell me something, okay?
17:57Try to.
17:59You're doing all this checking
18:01because you believe in me or because you don't,
18:03and you just want to prove
18:05I'm some kind of kook or something.
18:07We only want to learn what you saw.
18:09Nothing more, nothing less.
18:17I was never much of an artist,
18:19but more or less like this.
18:21A body, a fuselage,
18:23or whatever you want to call it,
18:25roundish with a sort of ring around it,
18:27blue-greenish,
18:29and then red like molten metal.
18:31You understand?
18:33You say these antennae kept extending and retracting.
18:35Yeah, sort of like probes, you know,
18:37reaching out.
18:55Thanks, Andy.
18:57What would be a good time Monday
18:59for you to see the flight surgeon
19:01at Kiesler Air Force Base?
19:03What for?
19:05The doc fixed me up.
19:07I don't need any physical.
19:09Our medic's quite expert at determining burn causes.
19:11Look, I'm willing to cooperate.
19:13I'll get the cap I was wearing,
19:15the jacket, and then let's call it quits, okay?
19:17And don't you worry about my health, neither,
19:19because I'm fine, just fine.
19:21Well, we only want you to check those burns, Andy.
19:23It seems to me
19:25you're making too much out of this whole thing.
19:27I didn't call you fellas in.
19:29That was Chief Morton's idea.
19:31Maybe I did see marsh gas.
19:33I could have inhaled it.
19:35That could have played tricks on your mind.
19:37And remember, I blacked out and everything.
19:39Look,
19:41I got to get back.
19:47He just made
19:49a 180-degree turn, Captain.
19:51Yeah.
19:53I see turbulence ahead.
20:03Pretty much what we expected.
20:05Ordinary burns could have been caused by anything.
20:07He didn't have the equipment anyway
20:09to detect radiation, if there was involved.
20:11That's right.
20:13We'll have to rely on the clothes and the machete.
20:15Let's get him shipped out.
20:21Andy!
20:23Mr. McMurtry?
20:25Huh?
20:27Chief Morton told me I could find you down here.
20:29That is you, isn't it?
20:31Yeah.
20:33Hello, I'm Roy Denby from the Biloxi Inquirer.
20:35You a reporter?
20:37Yeah.
20:39Well, you know, you're big news now, fella.
20:41You got a couple of minutes?
20:43I'd like to get your whole story from you right now.
20:45I'm sorry, but I can't talk about that anymore.
20:47Hey, wait a minute. Why not?
20:49Look, those Air Force fellas from Blue Book,
20:51well, they're still investigating, and it wouldn't be right.
20:53Wait a minute. What does that have to do with anything?
20:55It's procedure, man. It's official.
20:57Ain't no point in talking about something until it's confirmed.
20:59Wait a minute. Let me at least get your picture.
21:01Some other time, fella. Some other time.
21:07Okay, we're all connected.
21:09There's a C-130 at Columbus that's flying to Wright-Patterson.
21:11They'll hand over samples.
21:13With luck, we should have a report by tomorrow noon.
21:15What do you want to bet it's negative?
21:17Well, it wouldn't surprise me,
21:19but you sound like you've got inside information.
21:21I just picked this up at the newsstand.
21:27Do you suppose McMurtry saw that before the signing?
21:29If he did,
21:31it's possible we've just hit that turbulence.
21:47Hey, Andy.
21:49How are you?
21:51Eddie Larkin. Platoon Sergeant Larkin.
21:53Now, just passing through,
21:55I thought I'd look up my old company sea buddy.
21:57Oh, well, come on in, Sergeant.
21:59Not bad. Not bad.
22:01Hey, you still got the barbells.
22:03You carried them all the way from Nam?
22:05Yeah. Uh, sit down. Can I get you a beer?
22:07Did I ever say no?
22:13So, you stayed in the Marines after all.
22:15How come you're in uniform?
22:17Oh, chicks dig it.
22:19Hey, where's yours?
22:21My what?
22:23Your chick. Your old lady, you know.
22:25Oh, still looking, I guess.
22:27I figured you'd be settled down with four kids by now.
22:29You know, when they pulled you out of the boondocks
22:31and put you in that loony bin, we kind of got separated.
22:33How long did they keep you in that place?
22:35Four months.
22:37And, Daddy, it was for battle fatigue, not loony.
22:39Yeah, I know. Sure.
22:41Well, to old times.
22:43Yeah, sure.
22:49Hey, buddy.
22:51How can you just sit there and pretend nothing's changed?
22:53You're a big man.
22:55You're all over the local rag with pictures.
22:57Andrew McMurtry, local high school teacher
22:59encounters UFO.
23:01That's how I happened to come up here.
23:03I caught your act at the bus station.
23:05Oh. Well, you know how these small towns
23:07make a big thing out of nothing.
23:09Nothing? If I seen one of these things close up like you,
23:11I wouldn't just call it nothing.
23:13It's big, man.
23:15Was it like you said it was?
23:17I mean, green and round?
23:19Look, Eddie, do me a favor, okay?
23:21I don't want to talk about it anymore.
23:23Well, yeah, sure, but why?
23:25I mean, this happens once in a lifetime,
23:27and you want to write it off?
23:29It's real simple, Eddie.
23:31They won't understand about me being in that psychiatric ward.
23:33It'll all get dragged up again.
23:35They'll think I'm still not cured,
23:37that I'm seeing things.
23:39That won't matter, Eddie.
23:41I teach kids. I work with them.
23:43People won't want me around their kids anymore.
23:49Yeah.
23:51Well,
23:53I got a bus to catch.
23:57Yeah.
23:59Sure.
24:01Yes, sir. Just like we told you before, Captain.
24:03He went out there alone,
24:05and he told us to go back to the camp
24:07and he found a watch.
24:09From at least 200 yards away,
24:11and it was dark by then.
24:13Okay. What's the difference?
24:15And the way he screamed, it was awful,
24:17like he was getting killed.
24:19But you never actually saw what happened to him?
24:21No, sir. We just found him lying there.
24:23And that light, that big glow,
24:25came on again while we was waiting for Andy.
24:27That's all you saw?
24:29The lights, nothing else?
24:31No, nothing else.
24:37Think three people would have
24:39at least one or two slight variations
24:41about what they saw.
24:43Not these kids.
24:45They make carbon copies.
24:47Yeah. All we've really got is Andy's version,
24:49and he's not too wild about it anymore, either.
24:51Well, we still have to get that report
24:53back from Wright-Patt on the physical evidence.
24:55What if that turns out to be a handful of smoke?
25:07Good morning, Chief.
25:09Hey, morning, fellas.
25:11Have a good night.
25:13That motel okay for you, Sarge?
25:15Powerful. Breakfast like home.
25:17Grits, slab of bacon,
25:19thick homemade country biscuits.
25:21What we got, Chief?
25:23Well, this just came in for you
25:25from Wright-Patterson Field.
25:27Pretty sure I got it straight.
25:29Well, I'm glad to hear it, Chief.
25:31Well, I'm glad to hear it, Chief.
25:33Well, I'm glad to hear it, Chief.
25:35Pretty sure I got it straight.
25:37Uh, no explanation
25:39on the magnetic reading on the machete.
25:41Suggests several possibilities.
25:43Well, I'll be darned.
25:45Expect to have a report on the clothing
25:47and the soil samples by tomorrow.
25:49Chief, there's something
25:51I want to double-check with you.
25:53Sure thing.
25:55At first, from what you told us,
25:57Andy had no reservations about discussing the sighting.
25:59Now we get the feeling
26:01he'd just soon forget the whole thing.
26:03You got to know Andy.
26:05He's always been kind of quiet.
26:07And I guess all the attention
26:09just kind of rattled him.
26:11And after what you fellas told him...
26:13What's that?
26:15This morning's Biloxi Inquirer.
26:21Interviewed by investigators
26:23from Washington, D.C.
26:25Cannot reveal any more details
26:27for security reasons.
26:29I wonder why he said that.
26:31See? It just looks like you fellas
26:33put the lid on him.
26:35Hey, with all the fuss and feathers,
26:37I clean forgot.
26:39I got Ella Primrose waiting in my office.
26:41And she ain't partial to waiting.
26:43There's something about this UFO thing.
26:51Frankly, Captain,
26:53I am not your biggest fan.
26:55As for me, flying saucers
26:57are just for crackpots and kids.
26:59But after the last three nights,
27:01I have to look in the mirror
27:03just to make sure that I'm here.
27:05If we could just start at the beginning, ma'am.
27:07You mean right after Andy McMurtry
27:09said he saw this thing?
27:11Well, ever since then,
27:13for three nights running,
27:15Luke's been talking in his sleep.
27:17Luke, he's my husband.
27:19He's sort of retired,
27:21on a disability pension, you know.
27:23We live out of town a ways.
27:25If we could get back to the UFO?
27:27That's why I'm here.
27:29Well, I guess he was having these nightmares.
27:31Anyway, in the middle of the night,
27:33he's mumbling
27:35and he's shouting
27:37about this big thing
27:39coming over his head,
27:41just like it said in the papers.
27:43Well, that happens to some people.
27:45Think too much about what they read.
27:47I mean, that man was scared to death
27:49when he was telling me about those
27:51those long, thin,
27:53steel pipes
27:55moving in and out,
27:57sort of like fingers.
27:59Steel pipes? Fingers?
28:01Just how did he describe them?
28:03I think he said they were
28:05they were groping and probing,
28:07sort of searching around.
28:09That part about the probes wasn't in the paper.
28:11Only Andy told us.
28:13Where did he see this thing?
28:15Couldn't get that out of him, either.
28:17And I was hanging on to every word he was yelling.
28:19You suppose he'd talk to us if we came out?
28:21He better.
28:25If you just follow those directions
28:27and when the road grows lonesome,
28:29that's us.
28:35If it wasn't that we have proof,
28:37I would have never believed
28:39what just happened.
28:41Let's
28:43follow that lonesome road.
28:55Sir, you enjoyed yourselves all the way out here.
28:57But when Ella makes her mind up,
28:59wild horses ain't gonna change it.
29:01We don't mind the drive, Mr. Primrose,
29:03if you don't mind telling us about your dream.
29:05He don't mind one bit.
29:11Well,
29:13it seems I was outside somewhere.
29:15I don't know where I am.
29:17I don't know where I am.
29:19I don't know where I am.
29:21I don't know where I am.
29:23It seems I was outside somewhere.
29:25There were trees.
29:27Lots of trees, remember?
29:29Maybe I was in the woods.
29:31And way off in the distance,
29:33there was this glow in the sky.
29:35Then wham, bang,
29:37like 10,000 mortar shells going off at once,
29:39it just kept a-coming.
29:41Growing bigger, coming right for me.
29:53I don't know where I am.
29:55I don't know where I am.
29:57I don't know where I am.
29:59I don't know where I am.
30:01I don't know where I am.
30:03I don't know where I am.
30:05I don't know where I am.
30:07I don't know where I am.
30:09I don't know where I am.
30:11I don't know where I am.
30:13I don't know where I am.
30:15I don't know where I am.
30:17I don't know where I am.
30:19I don't know where I am.
30:21I don't know where I am.
30:25I don't know where I am.
30:29When it took off,
30:31it was giving off some kind
30:33of a sweet perfume.
30:35Too sweet.
30:37It seems like I was
30:39hugging the ground
30:41for dear life.
30:43Honey, that
30:45was me who was hugging.
30:47Anyway, that's when
30:49woods that you were in. Do you remember where it was?
30:51Why would I know that?
30:53Luke, don't you remember?
30:55You said there was an owl,
30:57and a rock, and an oak tree.
30:59Huh?
31:01That's what you kept saying in your sleep.
31:03Heck, it was all mixed up.
31:05If you try and sort
31:07things out, we'd be awful grateful, sir.
31:09Well, it seems
31:11there was an owl
31:13hooting an oak tree,
31:15and a big old rock in spitting distance.
31:17Is there anything
31:19particular about this rock?
31:21No, just a rock.
31:23You said
31:25you saw a bear. Honey, tell
31:27him about the bear.
31:29There wasn't no bear. The rock just looked like a bear.
31:31That's all
31:33I remember.
31:35I don't want to be rude, but I do have some
31:37fishing to do, and I'm running way behind
31:39on these lures.
31:41Well, sure hope they're biting.
31:44That was good. Thank you.
31:49Thank you for your time.
32:00Harry, either Luke Primrose
32:02is the best dreamer in these parts,
32:04or the best liar.
32:06It's worth a look.
32:14Captain,
32:16Chief Morton told me I'd find you out here.
32:18No, we were just leaving.
32:20Look, I know I was short with you fellas last time,
32:22but things have been happening to me fast,
32:24maybe too fast, you know, getting out of hand.
32:26Well, I think we'll get the idea.
32:28Maybe, but what I'm trying to tell you is
32:30it was me that started this whole thing
32:32about the UFO, and
32:34maybe I just got carried away, you know?
32:36Anyhow,
32:38I'd appreciate it if you'd just forget
32:40about the whole thing.
32:42I'm afraid it's too late, Andy.
32:44Once we start an investigation,
32:46we're under orders to check every detail.
32:48Okay, then.
32:50Well, you're gonna find out about it anyway,
32:52sooner or later.
32:54I spent four months in a psychiatric ward
32:56after Nam.
32:58So?
33:00Why didn't you tell us about it?
33:02Are you kidding? After what I said about that UFO?
33:04They'd think I was some kind of nut,
33:06and they will, too, if the rest of this town hears about it.
33:08Well, they won't hear it from us.
33:10Are you still sure about what you saw?
33:12Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.
33:14I admit, I keep going over it in my mind,
33:16and sometimes it gets fuzzy,
33:18a little mixed up with the things that happened in Nam,
33:20like the guns and shells and the flak.
33:22But it keeps coming back,
33:24and nothing can change it.
33:26It's important to me
33:28that what I saw really happened,
33:30because I don't want to go back to that hospital again.
33:32You understand?
33:34We understand, Andy.
33:36We do.
33:38Thanks, fellas.
34:00Andy said it took off that way.
34:02Luke had been around.
34:04He would have been out there somewhere.
34:06Hoot, hoot.
34:08You suppose that owl knows anybody we know?
34:10Well, I come from Hoot Owl Country.
34:12He'll be up high somewhere.
34:14Hoot, hoot.
34:16Well, owl, you keep a-hootin',
34:18and we'll keep a-climbin'.
34:26Hoot, hoot.
34:28Hoot, hoot.
34:34Somebody's been on this trail.
34:36Lately, I hope.
34:40Hoot, hoot.
34:46There she is, Captain.
34:50Hoot.
34:52And it's an oak tree.
34:54Yeah.
34:56Hoot, hoot.
35:00No boulder, huh?
35:02Nothing like what Luke Primrose described.
35:12Shine your light down here, Sergeant.
35:26Luke was here, all right.
35:28Wonder why he was so reluctant to admit it.
35:34Hey, Captain.
35:36Bear country.
35:38Our dreamer's a liar.
35:46We go see him?
35:48Yeah, right after we hear what Wright Patterson
35:50has to say about those burn marks.
35:56If what you're saying is true,
35:58I'd hate to be in Andy's shoes.
36:00Well, it's true, all right.
36:02Took a lot of digging, but it's true.
36:04Fellas, this is Mr. Denby
36:06from the Biloxi Inquirer.
36:08Hi.
36:10Oh, I got some terrible news for you.
36:12You're never gonna believe this.
36:14He just told me
36:16that Andrew McMurtry
36:18spent some time in a military base
36:20and he was killed.
36:22What?
36:24Andrew McMurtry spent some time
36:26in a military psychiatric ward
36:28before they turned him loose.
36:30I particularly wanted to get your reaction
36:32before I wrote that story, Captain.
36:34Interesting, but not too relevant.
36:36I beg your pardon?
36:38You got it, my reaction.
36:40Well, Captain, don't you see?
36:42We've all been taken in.
36:44I mean, Andy and his UFO.
36:46He never said a word about being a mental case.
36:48I tell you, folks ain't gonna take too kindly to it,
36:50being made fools of.
36:52Chief, do you make it a matter of public record
36:54every time you see a doctor?
36:56I know what you're driving at, but it ain't the same.
36:58I never said I saw that thing.
37:00He did.
37:02Is that all you have to say about it, Captain?
37:04No.
37:06No, that's not all I have to say.
37:08I think your story's premature.
37:10Why? You have some information
37:12that can back up Andy's story?
37:14You'll give me until, say,
37:161000 hours, 10 a.m., tomorrow morning.
37:18I just might have it.
37:20If you'll hold off, you'll be the first to know.
37:22All right.
37:24Got yourself a deal.
37:2610 a.m.
37:28Good. Chief, did anything come in for us?
37:30Doggone, sure did.
37:34A call from Wright-Patterson.
37:40He'll get back to you here in the morning.
37:44Is that the information
37:46you think is gonna change my mind, Captain?
37:48No.
37:50But it just might be the icing on the cake.
37:52I sure hope you're right,
37:54for Andy's sake.
37:56You're shinnying up the wrong tree, fellas.
37:58It was a dream, that's all.
38:00And don't count on
38:02Ella to change things, either.
38:04She's the town.
38:06Mr. Primrose, I think this belongs to you.
38:12Kinda looks like my style.
38:14Yeah, we found it in a place you described.
38:16Owl, oak tree,
38:18bear's head, just like in that dream.
38:20Heck, I'm all over these woods
38:22all the time.
38:24Mr. Primrose, whether or not you saw that UFO
38:26is your business.
38:28But I think you ought to know that what you do about it
38:30is gonna affect Andy McMurtry's career
38:32and his life here.
38:34Well, he says he saw it, claims he did.
38:36Isn't that enough?
38:38There is a reporter waiting to splash Andy's name
38:40and reputation all over the Biloxi Enquirer.
38:42Now, he wants people to know that Andy
38:44spent time in a veterans' hospital
38:46for mental care. He's suggesting
38:48that Andy's not really cured, that what he says
38:50he saw is part of his sickness.
38:52Folks might not like a fellow with those kind of problems
38:54teaching their kids.
39:02All right.
39:04I seen that thing.
39:06I seen it out there with my own eyes.
39:08But if I go blabbing about it,
39:10I'm gonna serve time in the pokey.
39:12For being in the woods?
39:14No, for working
39:16the whiskey still out there.
39:18Even Ella doesn't know about it.
39:20And if Chief Morton ever finds out,
39:22I'm gonna serve time.
39:24He's been looking for it for years.
39:26Even had me in jail one time
39:28on suspicion, then had to let me go.
39:30And if he even thinks that's why I was out there,
39:32he's gonna lock me up.
39:34Well, that ain't gonna happen.
39:36If you say what I told you,
39:38I'll flat-out deny it.
39:40Mr. Primrose,
39:42we can't force you to do anything,
39:44but there's a federal agency
39:46known as Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
39:48that does have an interest.
39:50Feds?
39:52Well, I ain't feeling any guilt.
39:54It's my hide or Andy's peace of mind.
39:56He's young. He'll get over it.
39:58Sooner or later.
40:06We're due back.
40:10Yeah.
40:12Sure.
40:20I think they're stalling, Chief.
40:22I gotta get my story in in five minutes.
40:24Yeah, I know, I know.
40:26Yes?
40:28No, they're not here.
40:32Sorry, I don't know where they are.
40:34Wait. Hold on.
40:36I'll call you back.
40:38Wait. Hold on.
40:40Yes, right, Patterson?
40:46It's Captain Ryan.
40:48Yeah?
40:50What about the soil samples?
40:54What about the clothing, the jacket and the cap?
40:58Well, no, the cap was new. It had to have happened there.
41:02All right. That all?
41:04Well, we'll probably be back tonight.
41:06Bye.
41:10We win or lose, Captain?
41:14The magnetic reading on the machete could have happened
41:16when the blade was hammered out originally.
41:18There's nothing definitive on the burn holes
41:20in McMurtry's clothing.
41:22We lose.
41:24So it could have been the marsh gas.
41:26It's a possibility.
41:28They're still analyzing the soil samples.
41:30And what about that information
41:32that's supposed to change my mind, Captain?
41:34It didn't work out.
41:38Can I use your phone
41:40to make a collect call to my paper, Chief?
41:42I guess so.
41:54Chief, I got a statement to make
41:56about that UFO.
41:58I've seen it, too.
42:00You did?
42:04A while back, I told these fellas
42:06what you're gonna hear now.
42:08Only I told them if they repeated it,
42:10I'd deny it.
42:12Now I've changed my mind.
42:14Why did you change it?
42:16You find that out, too.
42:18Anyway, that night Andy saw the UFO,
42:20I was out in them woods, too,
42:22about a mile east of where he was.
42:24I was looking back,
42:26and I seen this thing through the trees.
42:28Like a firestorm,
42:30only brighter,
42:32whiter, bluer.
42:40And then nothing.
42:42And then she blew.
42:44Wham! Big as a moon rocket.
42:46She come right at me.
42:48Big as a house.
42:58Wham!
43:00Wham!
43:02Wham!
43:04Wham!
43:06Wham!
43:08Wham!
43:10Wham!
43:12Wham!
43:14Wham!
43:16Like they scared me clear out of my boots.
43:18Them long, stiny things reaching down
43:20like they had eyes.
43:22Most horrible thing I ever seen.
43:24Wham!
43:26Wham!
43:28Wham!
43:30Wham!
43:32Wham!
43:34Wham!
43:36Wham!
43:38Wham!
43:40Wham!
43:42Wham!
43:44Wham!
43:46Wham!
43:48Wham!
43:50Wham!
43:52Wham!
43:54She took off like a scared quail.
43:56Her tail feathers all lit up,
43:58and then there was that
44:00sweet perfume.
44:02Sick sweet.
44:04I just stayed there until everything
44:06was coming in my head.
44:12Thank you, Mr. Primrose.
44:14It's a nice thing you did.
44:16For everyone.
44:22Tell me, Captain.
44:24What makes his sighting so special?
44:26There were characteristics
44:28of the UFO that only Andy knew.
44:30They were never in the paper.
44:32Yet, Mr. Primrose described them.
44:34Well, then,
44:36can we say that this is an authentic sighting?
44:38Well, of course, you can say
44:40what you like. We're satisfied the two sightings
44:42coincided. We're satisfied Andy
44:44saw what he saw.
44:46Doggone. I'm sure glad to hear that.
44:48Well, Mr. Denby.
44:52There won't be any reference
44:54to McMurtry having been hospitalized.
45:00Good.
45:04Well, fellas, I gotta run along.
45:06Wait a minute.
45:08You said something changed your mind about coming here
45:10and telling us his story. Now, what was it?
45:14What's the difference?
45:16That could be important.
45:18Well, let's just say
45:20I owe the government something
45:22for giving me a pension.
45:24You never did say what you were doing
45:26out in those woods that hour of the night, Luke.
45:28Yeah.
45:30I was afraid you were gonna ask that.
45:32Uh-huh.
45:34Way you got to still hid, Luke
45:36Primrose.
45:38Still?
45:42Considering the unusual circumstances,
45:44I'm gonna give you one hour.
45:46If I find any evidence
45:48after that time, I am putting you
45:50on ice, Luke Primrose. You hear me?
45:52Like a bird, Chief Morton.
45:54Like a bird.
46:01Captain,
46:03how would Blue Book
46:05classify this sighting?
46:07Right now, I'd call it
46:09unknown.
46:11Sure gonna make
46:13Andy mighty important.
46:15Gonna make Richlam important, too.
46:17He'll be coming off that interstate
46:19by the thousand.
46:21Son, if you ever think about getting out of the Air Force
46:23and want a pin on the star, you just call me.
46:25Now, pay ain't much,
46:27but you get all the grits
46:29you want.
46:31Well, I'm much obliged to you, Chief.
46:44Hey, Captain!
46:49Say, I just heard about Luke's sighting.
46:51Sure wanted to thank you fellas
46:53before you left town.
46:55Well, thank Luke.
46:57What do you think this means to me?
46:59Well, we got a pretty good idea.
47:11Gosh.
47:13I wonder what that was.
47:15Well, if I'm not mistaken,
47:17that's Luke Primrose
47:19putting himself out of business.
47:21Huh?
47:27Hey!
