Since biblical times,
man has witnessed and recorded...
...strange manifestations
in the sky...
...and speculated on the possibilities
of visitors from another world.
Today, from the skies of California,
the fields of Kansas...
...the rice paddies of the Orient,
the air lanes of the world...
...come persistent reports of UFOs,
Unidentified Flying Objects...
...which we have come to know
as flying saucers.
In Dayton, Ohio, the Air Intelligence
gathers data from all over the globe.
Ninety-seven percent of the objects
prove to be of natural origin...
...while three percent still are listed
as unknown.
The Air Force is aware
of the widely held belief...
...that some could be
flying saucers from another planet.
While there is nothing conclusive
in the evidence...
...the probing and digesting
of information about UFOs...
...continues unceasingly.
As a result, the Hemispheric Defense
Command in Colorado Springs...
...issued an order:
All military installations
are to fire on sight...
...at any flying objects
not identifiable.
But the military wondered...
...whether their scientific know-how
and weapons...
...would be effective in any battle
of the Earth vs. the flying saucers.
July 16. To Internal Security
Commission. Re:
Sky Hook.Progress report from project director
Dr. Russell A. Marvin--
And Mrs. Dr. Marvin, without
whose inspiration and criticism...
...this report couldn't be written.
Married two hours and already
she's claiming community property.
Now that you're married,
you don't have to sneak up on me.
You always had eyes
in the back of your head.
-It's not safe when driving.
-But pretty.
I thought intellectual giants were
supposed to be backwards and shy.
My third-grade teacher, Miss Hickey,
said I was a quick study.
You're starting something
you're not going to be able to finish.
Yeah.
Yeah, today, I've got a hot date
with a three-stage rocket.
Now, please, no interruptions.
Because of recent
scientific advances...
...it is now possible to realize
an ancient dream:
The exploration of outer space.
To prepare for this stride forward,
we are assembling data...
...on conditions at atmospheric levels
beyond those hitherto explored.
To collect this data, unmanned
observation posts are being sent up...
...in multiple-stage rockets, hundreds
of miles above the Earth's surface.
There, swinging in endless orbits
around our planet...
...will be 12 tiny man-made
satellites, or moons.
They will report to us by radio
the primary information needed...
...to prepare the way
for our ascent into space.
The effects of gravitational loss,
showers of meteoric dust...
...the fierce, undiluted heat of the sun,
the cosmic radiation.
All will be studied and analyzed.
At the present time, we have
launched 10 artificial satellites...
...or birds, as we call them. We--
-Do you hear something?
-Hear what?
-I don't hear any--
-Listen.
Pull over.
Russ, it was a saucer?
A flying saucer?
Well, we saw what appeared
to be a flying saucer.
That's all we can say.
We saw it. We heard it, both of us.
What more do we need to know?
Well, we have to have time to think,
to evaluate this...
...before we sound off.
Let-- Let me have a light.
Of course, it wasn't a saucer at all.
I just shake like this all the time.
Carol, I want you to transcribe
these notes for my report.
-Yes, boss.
-But there's one little thing first.
Now that you're married, Dr. Marvin,
the first thing you've got to learn...
...is no more passes at the secretaries
during business hours.
All right.
--or birds, as we call them. We--
Russ.
The saucer sound.
It's on the tape.
You forgot to turn it off.
I remember now.
I turned it off afterwards.
Well, that's one piece
of concrete evidence.
Rocket Number 11
will be launched in 20 minutes.
We'll leave it for now.
Come on, we've just got time
to get to the bunker.
Project Sky Hook.
Make it fast, I'm in a hurry.
Nobody allowed in.
There's a rocket taking off now.
That's what I want to stop.
Let me speak to Dr. Russell Marvin.
Dr. Marvin.
Bunker Number 2, Marvin speaking.
This is the West Gate, sir.
Put him on. Carol, it's your father.
-Calling from Panama?
-No, right here at the project.
-Hello, Russ?
-Hello.
Well, welcome home, general.
What's the news from Panama?
It's bad, I'm afraid.
Listen to what I found
before you send up another rocket.
Can you possibly put it off?
I can't, we're tied to
a definite schedule of launchings.
Wait a minute,
there's something else I wanted....
Just a minute.
It's your privilege.
Hi, Dad.
-What is it, honey?
-I just wanted to hear your voice...
...and tell you we were
married last night.
-Married?
-Forgive us for not letting you know.
I've gotta hang up.
Let's have dinner tonight. Can you?
Don't forget. Bye.
Fourteen, 13, 12...
...11, 10, nine,
eight, seven, six...
...five, four, three, two, one.
I know how the designer feels
hearing a thing like this...
...but Project Sky Hook
hasn't worked...
...the way the Defense
Department hoped.
Tell me, how many birds
have you sent up so far?
Eleven, counting today's.
How many are you in contact with
right now?
Just one. Today's.
I admit we haven't been able to
track them visually so far...
...but we'll correct that.
Don't be too sure of that.
We can certainly tune them in
if they're up there.
What I'm trying to tell you is
that they're no longer up there.
That wasn't a meteorite
that fell on Panama.
Number 7. I made sure of that myself.
-What?
-And Intelligence has reports now...
...that 1 and 3 fell over Africa...
...Number 5 around the North Pole,
and 9 and 10 along the Andes.
The rest can be presumed
to have been lost someplace at sea.
What happens to them?
Apparently they blow up
in outer space.
Why? There's nothing explosive
in them.
You can take it from me...
...when a rocket's blasted off, it should
circle the Earth for a long time.
-That is, unless--
-Russ? Dad?
Unless what?
Unless something shoots them down
as fast as we set them up there.
Why, no gun in the world
can shoot that high.
No. No, of course not.
Bring spoons for your coffee.
My special barbecue.
That's to make up for not telling you
about our getting married.
It was kind of sudden for us too.
Sudden? I've only been
after him for a year.
I don't need to tell you, both of you,
how pleased I am.
Well, I'm glad of that. I wouldn't
like it very much if you weren't.
Thank you.
Russ, what were you
driving at back there...
...about something shooting down
one of the satellites?
General, we saw a strange thing
this afternoon.
We saw what appeared to be
a flying saucer.
-A flying saucer?
-It nearly ran into us.
You're sure of it?
Both Carol and I are subject to
the same atmospheric disturbances...
...that may have affected
