This is Ozzy Graham reporting on Starcross, a support group for people

believe they've been abducted by aliens.

You did call these people weirdos. There's no reason to ruin somebody's

Something happened to me. I need to find out what it is. My name is Ozzy Graham,

and I'm an experiencer.

Hey, bud.

Hey,

excuse me.

Ozzie Graham, I'm taking over the police blotter for the Beacon Daily Gazette.

Oh.

Anything to report?

Let's see. This week?

Yeah. A man shot a squirrel.

Oh, wait, wait.

Shot at a squirrel.

He missed.

Wow.

You guys have my car in impound, by the way? I thought I recognized you.

You hit a deer.

Accidents involving animals are sometimes cover memories used to mask

encounters.

I'm not suggesting you did that on purpose or murdered a deer.

It seems like that's what you're suggesting.

Did you get a chance to spend some time with the orientation binder?

Yeah, yeah.

Cover to cover.

So what did you think?

It was pretty dense.

Thanks, man.

I need to rewrite the form.

There's a lot of science that's changed.

And Eddie's thought to picking a sponsor.

Sponsor. Chapter 7.

Right, Chapter 7, the sponsor.

It's kind of like an AA type of thing. Exactly. Very similar. Not dissimilar at

all. That's a great insight.

We encourage everyone to kind of find that.

special someone you know it's really important to have someone that you can

maybe late at night if you're lonely or confused i like to think of sponsorship

really as kind of the emotional glue that seals the bond with the group it

be us buddy people won't know where you start i begin you know then that sounds

great but also it sounds like a really big decision and i i don't want to rush

into it

It is a really important decision, and it's also really important that you try

to make it by the end of tonight's session. I'm going to ask that of you.

Sure.

That's a good idea.

Ozzie.

Ozzie. Huh?

You'll make the right choice. I know you. Don't put that much pressure on

yourself.

You looked a little spooked for a second there.

Hey. What's up?

Heard your heart up for a sponsor.

Word travels fast in this group. My heart goes out to anyone who's been

with by Gray's.

Well, thanks, Ennis. I really appreciate it, but I've got a microphone in my

head. The feedback.

What?

You know, I think the meeting's getting ready to start. You just said something.

Anything. Why don't we just focus in?

Okay.

So, Kelly, what do you remember about your experience?

It was just after 1 a .m.

And he appeared.

Hi.

I can't really describe how I felt.

You want to try?

Like, emotionally horny. I don't know how else to describe it.

It's amazing. We talked all night. And he was, like, an amazing

listener.

And then the next thing I know, he was gone.

I mean, he was probably married.

That sounds like a positive experience.

I just couldn't help but notice that there were similarities between

experience and Kelly. Because you both had intimate encounters with a tall,

pale, long -haired being that smelled vaguely of lavender.

No, our experiences are nothing alike. Yeah, mine wasn't pornographic.

Well, maybe he just wasn't interested in seeing you naked. Or maybe I don't jump

on every alien dick that shows up in my kitchen.

There's nothing wrong with the female orgasm. There is when it's yours.

Okay, okay.

Okay, you know what? You know what? Chelsea, enough, all right? Can we think

this as a sort of a... Okay, Chelsea, stop, stop, stop. We're not here to do

that, okay?

Okay? I don't want to try to censor your sexuality.

Our experiences are not competition, right?

Ozzy, what were you trying to do there?

Look, I just thought it'd be helpful if we...

Just identified some of the patterns in everybody's experiences. So that way we

could investigate what's going on and figure out the truth of what's happening

to us. I'm going to pause you right there.

Starcrossed is a place where we talk about our feelings.

We're not an investigative group.

Well, we should be.

But we're not, okay?

Well, we should be. We are not, and that's the point. I'm just saying it's

something I've always felt. I'm sharing it.

It seems silly to deny the similarities in everyone's experiences. We all saw

bright light. We were all told we were special. Clearly, we're not all special.

Kelly and Chelsea both gave it up for the same smooth -talking alien.

Oh, my God! They were different than me!

Ladies, ladies, all I'm saying, like in the words of Fleetwood Mac, Thunder is

an indication that rain is coming. That's not the correct lyric.

Richard, that's not what they say.

It's not helpful to talk about lyrics. I'm going to make a point here, ladies.

Excuse me, Gina, can we talk? Oh, hi, Father. I was thinking now in my office.

Okay.

Quick pee break, everyone.

Proximity.

What?

That's what I can offer as your sponsor.

I live very close to your motel. I have a lot of free time on my hands as well.

Because Debbie was taken.

It's a big hole to fill.

How do you know where I live?

I can also offer you a coffee. I'll bring you one when I show up. I'm a bit

thinker man myself.

I know where you live too, man. I got tons of time. Way more than him.

I got nothing to do. Like that's a selling point? What do you care? You're

already somebody's sponsor. You sponsor NS. Oh, God.

That doesn't count.

I mean, all he does is talk about crop rotation.

So? That's part of the deal. The deal is talking about alien issues, and I can't

get him on the subject. It's all related, Richard.

No, it's not. Not crop rotation.

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah. I just need to take a time out.

I feel you. I need a time out in here, too, sometimes. These people are crazy.

Oh, hell yeah.

I still ask myself why I go to these things.

How do you know you're not crazy?

Well, I didn't at first, right? I thought this was going to happen to

people. But then, you know, there's a person in your bedroom, and you're like,

well, damn, I guess this is on.

Oh, and I just wanted to thank you for addressing that whole Kelly -Chelsea

thing. That thing's been bothering me for months.

Just feels like we should be comparing notes, right? I know, I know, I know. I

think the same thing, too. I always thought that. It just feels like it

easier to accept this if...

I just had some proof.

You know I can get that for you, right?

Proof? Yeah.

Proof of alien life. What did I just say?

There seems to be a lot of screaming during your sessions.

That's the sound of healing.

I'm getting a lot of complaints.

From who?

Is it from Lyle?

Was it Lyle from Guitar for Beginners? That guy has a problem with me. I made a

comment about Santana, and he got very persnickety. It's not Lyle. It's Jackie

from the bereavement group. You want to know something?

She's grieving. I get it. I understand that she's grieving, but she is a

grieving liar, and she is a grieving snitch.

Okay, so clearly y 'all have a beef over your cheating alien.

Allegedly cheating alien. So, who here has artistic skills besides me?

I dabble.

Okay, great. So you're hired. I'm actually amazing.

So this is what I propose.

We separate you, and we're going to ask you to describe your respective aliens.

Start from what you remember.

Clothing, anything.

Mags and I will draw sketches of those descriptions, and then we will compare

them and see if it's the same one.

Just sit in for ten minutes, okay? We're doing some really good work here.

Hey, everyone?

What's going on here?

We're settling a bet, Father. My hypothesis is that these two ladies are

around with the same alien.

What? Okay, I think maybe tonight isn't the best I'm saying.

There is a flash of light, and suddenly he appears.

How did you get in here? I just beamed in. No problem.

I can't picture his face, but I feel like I could tell him anything.

I overcomplicate relationships.

Or maybe I get into relationships with overcomplicated people.

And I said, what are you going to do to me?

And he said, what would you like me to do to you? Okay, and what about his

I can only really picture his body. It didn't have a hair on it. It keeps

in and out.

Maybe you're not meeting someone because on some level, you don't want to be

truly known.

Dad, if he was a therapist, I'd go.

I can kind of picture his face.

He was abnormally well -endowed.

Okay, this is... Let's get to his face. What did his face look like?

His face? His face, yeah.

Did he have a face?

Well, I'm sure he had a face. All right, we're getting somewhere. Yes, I mean, I

saw, you know, shadows of things.

Wow.

This is, like, really hard work.

John the Baptist gives me strength. And he said... You're a unique, valuable

creation, Kelsey.

Boom. There's your proof.

Two ladies, same alien.

What are the eyes?

They don't even look like the same species.

Yeah, but squint.

Look at the jawlines.

Faces and hands are hard to draw.

Mm -hmm.

That was very informative.

Tonight was unusually graphic.

It's really not... I'm not sure this is the home for whatever it is you're

doing. I think the resemblance is undeniable.

Don't you, Oz?

Ozzy?

That's a smoking gun right there! Come on.

No, this is insane.

They're clearly different beings.

The fact that he called you both unique and valuable creatures, that's what did

it for me.

Wait, what?

They've been in the same group for months. They probably just influenced

other subconsciously.

Time out.

Two weeks ago, we sit over there and you knew you'd seen aliens and we hugged

and it was beautiful.

What happened to you, man?

I don't know what happened. I don't know if I want to be the type of guy who

rides a bicycle to a Catholic church to talk about aliens.

All right. I don't know if I want to be the guy who lives in a motel because

that's what I do right now, Jerry. I'm living in a motel.

A motel. I went to college, all right? And now I'm thinking about buying a hot

plate. That's what I'm doing right now. I'm thinking about getting a hot plate,

Jerry. That's not what my life was supposed to be.

Okay. So I'm hearing you don't want to be riding a bicycle.

No, I don't want to be riding a bicycle, but the Beacon Police Department has my

car. The BPD has your car?

Yes. They have my car. They said it's tied up in paperwork or something.

Stay here.

I'll handle it.

Wait, Jerry, what do you mean handle it? I know a guy.

Don't leave. I'm going to get back that car.

It's what any good sponsor would do.

What? Why do you keep calling me? Hey, Ozzy, I finally got you. Listen, I never

apologized for whatever went down between us. You mean for outing my

Yeah, I feel terrible about the whole thing.

So, I heard you moved upstate. Are you still writing about that alien truther

group? Look, I don't work for you, Jonathan, so what I do is none of your

business. You're absolutely right. I just want to say you're an amazing

and it would be a shame to see you throw your career away chasing Bigfoot. All

right, you know what? Thanks for that, and take care, Jonathan.

He's not coming around, is he?

No.

But he will.

They're not going to like that upstairs.

Nancy, I know.

Bring me my face. I need to think.

Shit, my notebook.

Did you forget something?

Hey, Ozzy.

I'm lonely.

Let's talk a bit, okay?

No. There's nothing to talk about because you're not here.

Uh, yes, I am.

Hey, have you picked your sponsor yet? Because you know who'd make a great

sponsor. Not interested.

Me. I know you better than anyone.

I'm okay with it.

Honestly. What's the big deal? I meet guys like this all the time. It's not

first time I've been with, like...

A guy like this, you know, handsome foreigner, you know, lies to you, leaves

the next morning, wipes your mind.

You're not better than me. What? I'm not saying. No one's saying that you're

better or worse. In any way, it doesn't really matter because much as some

single person waiting for death.

Chelsea, do you think that your physical interaction with the white may be

highlighting some issues for you and your marriage? No, my marriage is fine.

You missed dinner. Is everything okay?

It's a long day.

I'm going to my office.

I've got to make some calls.

But it's 10 .45 at night.

John?

Where are you going?

I need to pee.

Oh, good. You didn't leave. You're a man of your word.

How'd you get my car?

The less you know, the better.

You said you couldn't take a sponsor until you had a car?

Well, took that off your plate.

Excuse me, we're closing for the night?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Yes.

An alien cover memory.

Seems like a lot of damage for somebody who didn't hit a deer.

Yeah, it's a puzzle.

You got a... It's not on. You got a mat. No, no. It's on a bit of an angle. I

think that's incorrect. I got it, I got it. Are you sure?

Yeah. Did you want me to go and get a baby to do your job? No, no. The only

he's going to learn is if he struggles through it. I know, but this is... John?

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Can we call an ambulance? You think he's blood sugar?

You with the beard, get on the ground.

No, not you. The other one with the puffier beard. Get on the ground.

I thought you said you knew a guy. I do. He wasn't there, so I broke in.

Don't make me say it again, sir. Get on the ground.

Jerry, just get on the ground.

I'm just turning around for a second just to talk to you.

just starting to think that maybe my alien experience is highlighting some

problems in my marriage marriages are difficult um i'm usually

not this forward but have you ever thought consolation in christ he's an

excellent listener i think i'm jewish but on my father's

side so that doesn't really count right and my mother says that she's a buddhist

but she really just believes in richard gear

I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't. I'd be open to it.

I'm a political prisoner!

Missing something?

You saw.

Your crazy chart.

Yep. Thanks for giving me a question mark.

I was kidding. I was actually flattered.

It's not personal.

I'm just trying to figure out if I belong here.

I get it. I made the same chart when I started.

In my head, not on paper, because I'm not a total idiot.

Rookie move.

Me? Yeah.

But you had second thoughts.

I'm on my seventh and eighth thoughts, honestly.

And I think, who would I rather tell about the time I met an alien?

A bunch of reasonable people?

Or a bunch of crazies in question marks?

Hey, Kelly.

Yeah. Do you want to be my sponsor?

Yeah, sure.

No calls after 10, just text.

All right.

Oh, and would you mind breaking it to Jerry?

Let's try.

All right.

Guys, guys, it's under control. He's moved to Beacon and he's seen deer.

That doesn't sound under control to me. Look, the deer's on you guys. You were

supposed to pick him up, wipe his mind, and then implant a memory to mask the

entire experience.

Basic stuff. Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but he's supposed to have a

hitting a deer, not seeing them in his waking life.

I'm right on this, Nancy, right? Or am I on drugs?

He should not be seeing deer.

Hey, hey, everyone.

Can I say something?

Don. We all might have messed up. Shut up, Don. Not the time.

All right, I'm coming down there. I'll take care of this. No, Kurt, let's leave

the earthwork to the earthworkers, all right? I got this contained.

What are you doing?

Wall screwed this up. I'm going down there. I'm going to take care of this

Be careful.

Don't get shot.

It's like the Wild West down there. What's the Wild West?

Didn't anyone read my binder?

Don't wait up.

What's the plan I'm waiting on?

So I have my own life.

The cattle are my friend.

Come back to me.

The cattle are my friend.

Because I'm going to meet you.

I know where to go.

I know where to go.

Officer to General. Right, yes.

Wonderful.

Time to clean up this mess.

No, no, there's nothing out here.

Jesus, what a mess.
