Project Blue Book?
Andrew Garner.
Captain, Michael Quinn.
Allen Hynek.
Sorry for the
cloak and dagger.
It's really for
both our benefits,
given all the prying
eyes in the city.
Garner, how do
I know that name?
Oh, I've been around
Washington a long time.
Are you State Department?
Defense?
I don't like to limit myself.
Are you the man I
spoke to on the phone?
Yes.
Although, I should
have been more clear.
I'm here on behalf
of someone else.
Who's that?
Can't disclose that yet.
What I can disclose is
that if you do what I say,
you will have the
chance to testify
at a public
congressional hearing
that will finally expose the
truth about flying saucers.
I represent someone who
believes, like you do,
that there's a conspiracy
going on at the highest
level of the government
to cover up the existence
of extraterrestrial life.
And he thinks it
could not only cost us
the Cold War but our
long-term security as well.
What do you want from us?
I want you to know you have
a friend in Congress willing
to put his neck out for
you, if you can deliver
more proof of a cover-up.
Deliver proof?
What, you want us to spy
on our own government?
ANDREW GARNER: Captain, were
you aware that two weeks
after your encounter
in DC, an Air
Force pilot chased a
similar set of lights
in Tacoma, Washington?
Only when his plane spun
out of control, he died.
That could have been
you, which means
it's only a matter of time
before it happens again.
And given the Cold War climate
right now, all it will take
is for some
trigger-happy general
to convince the
new administration
that it's Russians
tripping our radars,
and we're in the middle
of World War III.
Those are classified
sightings that didn't
get reported to Blue Book.
They are being held as
exhibit A in the march to war.
These all took place
at military bases.
That's right.
Where'd you get these files?
[clears throat] Gentlemen,
the man I represent thinks that
exposing the truth can
bring this world together,
not pit us against each other,
which means your work has
the chance to not only
save lives but change
the course of human history.
[phone ringing]
Project Blue Book.
JOHN F KENNEDY (ON
PHONE): Professor,
this is Senator John F Kennedy.
How are you today?
Senator Kennedy, hello.
I'm-- I'm fine, sir.
Thank you.
How are you?
JOHN F KENNEDY: Is
Captain Quinn with you?
Yes, sir.
Right here.
Captain, I've been
eager to introduce myself,
given the great work your
program has been doing.
Why, thank you Senator.
JOHN F KENNEDY (ON
PHONE): DC especially
could have been disastrous.
What were those
lights again, doctor?
Temperature inversions.
Temperature inversions, yes.
And that's what you saw up
there in that plane, Captain.
Yes, sir.
So now both of
you are lying to me.
I'm not sure if you were
aware, but Secretary
Fairchild was a friend of mine.
Considered me a protege
of sorts, actually.
So he shared a lot of
secrets with me, including
on his last night in DC.
ALLEN HYNEK: He told
you about the film?
That's right.
What else did he say?
JOHN F KENNEDY (ON
PHONE): That he trusted
you and he believed
in the sightings,
as I'm guessing you do as well.
Well, Captain Quinn
and I, we believe
that, until we
have real answers,
science and observation
are the best way forward.
I couldn't agree more.
Gentlemen, thank you.
Hopefully, we'll be
in touch before long.
Thank you, Senator.
Thank you, Senator.
What do you make of that?
I wonder if we just found
out who Garner's working for.
Mail's here.
MICHAEL QUINN: Thank you, Faye.
ALLEN HYNEK: So let's say
Garner is working for Kennedy.
Where's Kennedy getting
his information from?
And I wonder how much more
he knows that we don't.
What's that?
"Blue Book, this is John.
It's been six months but I
managed to get you the proof
that you were looking for."
John.
Hanger 18?
Officially, I don't exist.
I thought the
generals got to him.
MICHAEL QUINN: Apparently not.
Use this key to
see for yourselves.
They've cleaned house.
I'm wondering
if there was ever
anything here to begin with.
Maybe the general set us up.
See what we'd do.
So what's our next move?
Really don't know.
