Previously on "Project Blue Book"...

He's one of yours?

He's working with the Americans now.

I'm going to kill him for you,
and then we'll be even.

You do make a pretty good team.

Yeah, he's not bad for
Central Intelligence.

What's the Robertson Panel?

It seems Central Intelligence

will put the US Air Force on trial.

With a full investigation
into Project Blue Book.

Ufology, the... the
classification system?

Close encounter of the first kind,

visual sighting less than 500 feet away

showing angular extension and detail.

Second kind of encounter
with a physical effect,

car dying, lights flickering.

Scale you're working on?

I think we have strong evidence here

for a close encounter of the third kind.

And cut!

Cut it!

Allen?

What are you doing?

Just taking it all in.

It's amazing, isn't it?

What is that?

I hear it's something
Steven's working on.

The reporter's here. Are you ready?

Uh-huh.

Thank you so much for
agreeing to do the interview.

It's my pleasure.

So, Steven Spielberg calls
you up out of the blue

and says, "I'd like my next movie

"to be based on your work,

"name it after your
classification system,

and have you as my technical advisor."

Yeah, something like that.

Not bad for a college
professor from Ohio State.

That... is exactly what my wife said.

You know, reading the script,

Richard Dreyfuss's character
reminded me of someone.

Oh, you think so?

Family man, obsessed with alien life,

outwits military and government forces

in order to uncover the truth.

That doesn't sound like you?

Well, I suppose it does,

only Richard Dreyfuss never had
to face the Robertson Panel

on his way up the mountain.

Ah, the Robertson Panel.

That was the CIA

convening an elite group of scientists

to study your work in '53, yes?

Yes, um, something like that.

There's more to the story.

There's a lot more.

Well, I'm sure our readers
would love to hear about it.

- Dr. Hynek?
- Yes?

What exactly happened

during the events of
the Robertson Panel?

They wanna shut down Blue Book.

Officially, the CIA wants to
be briefed on your casework

as it relates to national security.

And unofficially?

The agency is vying for
control of the UFO program.

You set us up.

All this time you spent with us.

You've just been gathering
intel, haven't you?

Look, I had no idea they
were going to do this.

I found out when you did.

I came here to help.

If the CIA is in charge of this panel,

and they want control,

what are the odds of us even
getting an impartial hearing?

That's the one piece of good news.

You'll actually be presented
to a group of scientists.

They'll assess the
validity of your work,

report back to the agency
with their findings.

Those are the men you want to convince.

Dr. Menzel, Dr. Alvarez.

Oh, these are serious scientists.

And you should take them seriously.

They'll be looking for any
reason to discredit your work.

Don't give them one.

We've been going through
cases all night.

We have more than enough
compelling evidence...

Compelling isn't good enough, Captain.

You'll need to present
to them a slam dunk case

with hard evidence, a credible witness,

something that can't be denied.

This is a chance to tell
the world your truth.

You may not get this opportunity again.

All right, now, I want you to watch.

All right. Very carefully.

And the first thing we're gonna do:

we're gonna... now watch me.

- Okay.
- Okay.

It's there, and then we take this,

put it right there.

Sorta straightforward, right?

Yeah.

Just waiting for the magic, and...

Whoa.

- Where'd it go?
- You don't have it?

I have no idea, but let
me just see one thing.

Is it?

- What is...
- How did...

That what... you better keep that.

Alan, I am so glad you're home.

Dr. Hynek.

David Dabrowski.

I am so, so glad to finally meet you.

Hello.

Could I ask you if you would
possibly check your pocket

and see if you find anything there?

Maybe...

Ah.

Wow, Dad, how'd you do that?

Well, magic.

I'm gonna go put this one in my room.

Okay, sweetie.

David and I met at my
group this evening.

Wait, who was this person?

David Dabrowski.

He, uh... he showed up
at Mimi's UFO group,

or was led there, according to him.

Isn't that what he told you?

David was a bit of a
celebrity in UFO circles,

and somehow, he tracked me down,

claiming to have information
that only he could tell Allen.

You know, when they told
me to come and find you,

they didn't give me your address,

and then I realized
they must've wanted me

to meet your wife first.

David has something I think
you might wanna see.

Hmm.

I'm sorry, but who exactly was it

told you to come and find me?

The beings that... that are
posing in that picture.

And they told me to
deliver a message to you.

Without my help,

you will never survive
the Robertson Panel.

Daniel said we needed a slam dunk case.

- We don't have time for this.
- No, no, no.

- He has a very compelling story.
- That we would need to verify.

Which would be impossible right now.

You know I have already presented you

with photographic evidence.

Now if you would just, please,
let me tell you my story,

I think you will find it worthwhile.

Okay, David,

tell us about how you
first met these "beings."

All right, well,

the first, uh, contact was just
a little bit over a year ago,

um, and it was on a stretch
of land near my home.

You were alone at the time?

Yes.

No other witnesses?

No.

So you were out hiking...

Surveying would be more accurate.

I'm a... a volunteer
assessor for the county.

I was doing my annual inspection

of the Etowah River.

It is the kind of work I have done
alone for many, many years,

so even I did not believe what
I was seeing at first either.

It was as if time and
space just vanished,

and everything, the river,
and the birds, and the air

went into this state
of suspended reality,

except for me.

That's when I saw the craft.

Then came this amazing,

almost electric wind.

I thought, "grab your camera."

But when the doors
opened, and I saw them,

this incredible sense
of peace just filled me.

It filled my soul.

So that, when they invited
me onboard, I had to go.

And what were these beings?
What were they like?

They were warm, and
they were intelligent,

and they were communicative.

Oh, they spoke English, did they?

No, they did not speak English.

They communicated with
me telepathically.

It's extremely difficult to...

you know, I know you
think that I'm crazy...

- No, no, no, no.
- Yes, you do.

And let me tell you something, Captain,

there are things even
you cannot explain,

like what you saw in the sky over D.C.

How do you know I was up there?

Have you tested the photograph?

Because when you do, and
you find out it is not fake,

then maybe you will be
able to take me seriously.

That'll take some time.

I know that you have been chosen

to tell the truth to that panel,

and I'm telling you

that I have been chosen
to help you do that.

But if you don't accept my offer,

there is nothing I can do.

Thank you for your time.

You're welcome.

- You tell him about the panel?
- No.

And he knew about D.C.

Where is he getting his information?

What time is it, kids?

"Howdy Doody!"

Jesus, you scared the piss outta me.

Most people knock, you know?

The hell you watching this for?

I need to see what you have.

Sure, no problem.

Nice to see you too, by the way.

You know, it'd help if you'd tell me

what you're looking for.

You know, in terms of their UFO project.

I mean, I'm kind of
shooting in the dark here.

These photos are three years old.

What are you talking about?

The Americans gave you these

so that I wouldn't ask questions.

I know you're working for them.
I've known for a while.

Are you serious right now?

You accuse me of being a double agent
after everything we've been...

After everything we've been
through is how I know.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

If I came here to kill you,
you'd be dead already,

wouldn't you?

They were gonna fry me
like the Rosenbergs

if I didn't cooperate, but
you don't have to worry,

'cause I haven't given them
anything on our program.

Noth... not a thing.
I swear to God, I...

Shut up. I need your help.

Hey!

Daria is done with me.

- You with me?
- I'm with you.

I'm trying to understand
what's going on, okay?

All you need to know is
that if I wanted to,

I could have told her about you
switching sides, but I didn't.

I didn't.

So now I need you to return the favor.

What kind of favor?

Looks pretty authentic.

- Scale of one to ten?
- Seven, sir.

What makes it a seven?

Well, the first thing I look at

is the naturalness of the boundaries

around the primary object.

Then I look to see if the shadows
are consistent throughout.

How long would it take to
complete a full analysis?

At least a couple weeks.

We have the panel in two days.

Is there some way to
expedite the process?

If I could examine his camera,

that would help me a lot.

Any way you can get your hands on that?

Just tell him we need the camera,

get it quick, and go. Agreed?

Let's just see what he has to say first.

Big spread for one guy.

Nice car.

Guy doesn't have a front door,

and wants us to take off our shoes?

You found me.

Come on.

Come on.

David, if you have the
camera that you use,

it might help us validate your picture.

I've got it, but I could
show you something

that would remove all doubt.

Trust me.

What are we lookin' at here?

This is where they like to land

whenever they come to visit.

And, uh, how often is that?

Almost every full moon.

- Uh-huh.
- Captain.

I have never seen this before.

They must've come back.

- You didn't put this here?
- No.

Come on, something this geometric,

and... and... and precise?

No, they must've left this here for you.

This is a message.

There we go. Three-pointed tetractys.

Yeah.

"An ancient Greek symbol

"representing meaningful
archetypal relationships,

"and symbolizing the
geometric and musical ratios

upon which the foundation
of the universe is built."

Three lines. Three points.

- I know what this means.
- You discovered a triangle?

They want the three of
us to work together.

One partner's more than enough, thanks.

What do they, uh, want the three of us

to work together on?

Not sure.

But what if they could
tell you themselves?

Mm-hmm, I'm gonna set
that up for tonight.

This is a waste of time.

Let's just get the camera and go.

Doc, no, no. Come on,
you're not seriously thinking

about going out there?

We have to prep for the panel!

And this is how we do it.
Look, there's no guarantee

this camera is gonna
authenticate that photo,

or that it's gonna be done
in time for the panel.

Right, but we have plenty
of other evidence.

Not on this scale,

and if the encounter's
fake then so is the photo,

but if it is real, it's evidence

of a close encounter of the third kind.

But you don't really believe
he's communicating with aliens?

I'm just looking for something, anything

to make sense of what
we've seen from this guy.

Caught this at an Indian's game.

Great American pastime.

I used to go all the time with my dad.

He taught me to love it.

So tell me why you want me to call

my contact in St. Petersburg?

I need a child brought
from there to the U.S.

Safely.

A child?

My daughter.

You have a daughter?

Can your contact get
her here, yes or no?

He's chief of the militsiya,

so he can do whatever he wants,

but, um, it ain't gonna be free.

How much?

Five grand.

Tell him you'll wire
it from your account.

Um, so, I do this for
you, and you, what?

You just forget you know
what you know and...

My loyalty to my country
only goes so far.

I suppose you and I are
the same in that way,

aren't we?

Call your contact.

How long are we gonna give this, Doc?

David, is there a timeframe

for when these beings will show up?

I wish it was that simple.

Hey, you know what? I have a good idea.

Why don't we pass the time by
doing a little bit of magic?

- You got a coin?
- Magic?

Come on.

All right.

Sure.

And...

This one I think, and present the hand.

Thank you very much. Now close.

And now, just think carefully

about what are you feeling
right now, what do you...

what are you feeling?

Your hands are very warm.

The coin is actually
disappearing, and boom!

Losing your touch?

What?

That disappeared...

God, I guess it doesn't always work.

It's getting kinda late.

I got 8:50. What time you got?

What, how'd you do that?

You just believe in magic, Captain.

You will never lose your
ability to be surprised.

I'm gonna go get some more firewood.

- Guy's quite a character.
- Yeah, he is.

Doc, what are we doing out here?

I mean really.

I know you don't think that aliens

are gonna come down from the sky tonight

and say hello to us.

Certainly is a nice night, though.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's beautiful out here.

I'm not ready to face that panel.

This is a good way to avoid it.

I mean, all our work, what we've seen...

If they don't validate that, then what?

You know, there's a lot on the line.

Out here...

... Is possibility,
no matter how remote.

Well, look, we go there, do our best.

The chips fall where they may.

And if they shut us down?

Well, I don't like to live in that
world. The world of "what if?"

- Hello, gentlemen.
- David?

What's wrong with him?

David?

David isn't here right now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, stop it!

David, are you okay?

I told you this isn't David.

Then who am I speaking with?

I'm here to answer all your questions.

David said you wanted the
three of us to work together.

What are we meant to be working on?

Telling the world your truth, Dr. Hynek.

My truth?

What is my truth?

The one you can no longer deny.

All right, that's enough, pal.

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

You are in danger, Dr. Hynek,

and David is the only
one who can save you.

He is the only one.

Well, if David...

David, David!

David!

He's waking up.

David?

How did I get here?

Oh, good, it's him again.

We brought you back.

You did?

Here, drink this.

So, uh, you don't
remember what happened?

Oh, my God, I am so tired.
I just need to rest.

You guys... you two should go.

- I want you to go.
- Great.

We'll leave you to it, then. Doc?

Are you sure that you're gonna be okay?

I'll be... I'll be fine,

but I am not who you two
need to be worried about.

Faye tells me you've been out of town.

Yes, we were following up on a lead

we thought might prove useful
for the Robertson Panel.

Which turned out to be nothing, sir.

I see.

What do you plan to
present to the panel?

- I would im...
- Well, General, we, um,

pored over our case files
and determined a select few

that we feel best represent
our investigation

for the past couple years.

And the conclusion you've drawn?

- The conclusion, sir...
- The conclusion would be

that the area of UFO investigation

continues to need further study

and, uh, resources to
help it to do that.

This is a very important panel, Doctor,

not just for your department,
but for the entire Air Force.

A lot is riding on your performance.

And I expect both of you to
act with honor and integrity.

Yes, sir.

Who wrote this?

You're free to present
any case that you like,

but it's important that
you finish up with that.

"Therefore, based on our casework

"and my own rigorous
scientific analysis,

"I've concluded that
there is no evidence

"to support the notion that UFOs are,

"or possibly could be,

extraterrestrial in origin."

And you'd like me to present
this as my, uh... as my opinion?

What other opinion would
you have, Doctor?

Dr. Hynek?

Dr. Hynek?

Sorry, you were saying?

You were saying, actually,

that you'd been asked to read a report,

one you didn't agree with?

They wanted me to betray
everything I believed,

to state conclusively that all UFOs

have an earthly explanation.

And that wasn't what you believed?

It didn't matter what I believed.

It mattered what the evidence showed.

Science is without prejudice.

It doesn't believe. It just is.

And from a scientific perspective,

there was one truth
that I could not deny:

UFOs exist,

and some defy explanation.

So I was faced with a choice.

Tell the lie, save Blue Book,

or tell the truth, and
face the consequences.

The end of my career, my reputation...

And what did you decide?

Sorry to do this.

Steven's setting up a shot,
so we need to clear the area.

Oh, of course. Uh, can we
finish this in your trailer?

Actually, um, I think I've...

I think I may have said too
much already, you know?

So, um...

I hope you have what
you need. Thank you.

But, Dr. Hynek, you haven't
gotten to the panel yet.

It's still hard for him to talk about.

Why? What happened?

Something surprised him
in the end, that just...

Were you there? Uh, what was it?

I was there, yes,

and sometimes, I still don't believe it.

Hey, Doc, why don't you come sit down?

You've been like this for two days.

The Mariana film is the best
piece of film evidence we have.

They're not even paying attention to it.

Well, they have our analysis.

Hopefully, that'll help
fill in the blanks.

Yeah. Without even looking at the film?

That's not what scientists
are supposed to do.

I know.

Oh, oh, uh, excuse me!

Um, are you planning to study
any individual frames?

Or even watch the film again?

We're done with it, actually.

We spent dozens of hours
analyzing this film.

You've barely even looked at it!

They're F-94s.

Flight logs at the Air Force base nearby

confirmed they did a flyby that day.

Yes, hours after that was filmed.

You're... you're drawing
a false conclusion,

and if you look at our
supplemental reports,

you will see that we do
point out the original film

was edited down by the Air Force

and the more enlightening
evidence taken out.

Suggesting what?

Suggesting that somebody
tampered with the evidence!

Do I have to spell it out for you?

Well, let's just give them
a little more time here.

They have all these case
files to go through.

Those? We've already gone through them.

That's our closed pile.

Closed?

Birds, weather balloons,
astronomic anomalies.

We're getting to the end here, actually.

You gotta be kidding me.

I mean, this is over 50
case files right here,

with witness reports,
photographic evidence.

Which we've reviewed.

No, you mean skimmed, at best!

Let's take a recess.

- What's happening?
- I need to get some air.

- Is he okay?
- I'll talk to him.

Hey!

You walking off the job now?

No, I'm not leaving. I'm waiting.

Waiting? Waiting for what?

You know, I realized
something last night.

We have two options here, okay?

One, I read Valentine's statement.

The panel recognizes our
incompetence as investigators.

Too many unsolved cases.
They shut us down,

take over the program, or two,

I read my statement, tell our truth,

the generals bury us.

Unless a third option presents itself.

The hell you talking about?

Now, what's he doing here?

We call an expert witness,
a fellow investigator,

someone whose seen our
cases, knows our work,

who recognizes that the UFO phenomenon

demands further investigation,

and sees Blue Book as best
equipped to do just that,

someone who can speak for us

when we can't speak for ourselves.

Third option.

- Daniel.
- Professor.

Captain.

- They on a recess?
- No, you're just in time.

Ah, better head in, then.

Uh, Daniel, uh, I just...

I really wanna thank you for doing this.

Don't thank me yet.

Come on.

Gentlemen, this is my report,

but since we're running out of time,

I figure I would give you the
rundown in my own words.

As you know, I've worked closely

with Dr. Hynek and Captain Quinn

over the past few weeks,

so I've had a front-row view
at the Air Force's attempt

to investigate and explain
the UFO phenomenon.

Which is why I can assure you
with all honesty, and candor,

the work these men are
doing for the Air Force...

... is careless, biased,
and full of discrepancies.

The sad truth is,

the US Air Force has
completely mismanaged

its investigation into
the UFO phenomenon,

and it's high time the CIA

- took that away fr...
- What is this?! What are you saying?

- You son of a bitch.
- How dare you!

You have no right to discredit...

Of course I do!

- They should be warned.
- Warned?

Staging invasions,
stealing classified material,

breaking onto bases,
inciting mass panic.

I mean, you want me to keep going?

- No, I can get you to stop.
- Oh, no, please just...

Please, please can we
just settle for a moment?

- Calm down.
- It's my recommendation

the Air Force immediately
suspend all investigations

into UFOs for the sake of
our national security.

Gentlemen, please,
we have your file for review.

Let's take some time to look
it over before we reconvene.

He was betrayed?

In front of his peers,

by someone he trusted,

but that's not the end of the story.

He turned it around.

How?

Magic.

I'm sorry. This was my fault.

I thought he was gonna save us, Mimi.

Doc, he played us both.

No, you never trusted him.

You're so skeptical with your work,

but you're never that way with people.

I suppose that makes me a fool.

No, it makes you a good man.

Excuse me a sec.

David, the hell are you doing here?

Well, it's awfully nice
to see you too, Captain.

Daniel call you in, huh?

You gonna go in there and
embarrass us some more?

Who's Daniel?

And, uh, no, I'm here for you.

We don't have time for this, all right?

- You need to leave.
- Leave?

I am here to save you.

How did you get in here?

Oh.

That was pleasant.
What is going on here?

- How are you?
- Good.

- What is this?
- It's a...

- Excuse me, Dr. Stenzler.
- Yes, Captain?

There's just one more case
we'd like to present.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Please. There's a lot on the line here,

and, uh, I think you're
gonna wanna hear this

before you make your ruling.

Line drive, right field
in there for a base hit.

Taken on hot, Morello
throws to first base.

But Mays is there.

How about that?

He's with her.

What are you doing?

I guess I'm having what you
call a change of heart,

and maybe it's not so smart to
let you walk out that door.

Protect your identity
at all costs, right?

Of all the times to
remember what I taught you.

This business is tricky,

and truth is, I waver all the time.

But the one thing I'm clear on...

I don't wanna be looking over
my shoulder the rest of my life,

wondering who might
be coming to kill me.

I got plans, too.

I want kids of my own one day.

The American dream, right?

It's never too late, is it?

Hey.

Hey, hey!

Shit.

You see, what I was really
doing in here earlier

was not watching "Howdy Doody."

I was finding your hiding spots.

Because I know you keep spares,
and when your back was turned,

I switched these out and
emptied your chamber.

I didn't teach you everything...

For a reason.

This will go down in the series called

"The Battle of the Home Run."

Look at that.

The great American pastime.

... Everybody that they possibly
can use to help them out.

And the pitch. Fastball, play assist...

High fly ball deep to center.

That ball is going, going...

Thank you all for allowing me to speak.

I know you've reviewed a lot
of our case work, photos,

but I think you'll better understand

the value of Blue Book
by hearing from someone

who's been on the receiving
end of our work. David?

This is Mr. David Dabrowski.

His case is the most recent one
investigated by Blue Book.

Mr. Dabrowski, would you
care to tell the panel

why you reached out to
Dr. Hynek and myself?

I was directed to do so,
in order to be here today.

And who exactly directed you?

The beings from the planet Vanusios,

which is two galaxies beyond ours.

And did Dr. Hynek and I
investigate your case?

Oh, yes, and they appreciated
it tremendously.

Although you were very skeptical,

which was disappointing.

Well, David, we were just doing our job.

They... they, um,

asked if I would, uh, deliver
a message to the panel.

Go ahead.

Please don't be afraid.

Those ships that you see in the sky

and the beings you may come across...

they're not here to hurt you,

but to teach you.

Just stay open and believe.

Dr. Hynek and Captain
Quinn did their job.

Nobody's listening to me now...

But they will...

someday.

Thank you.

Thank you, David.

Gentlemen, David is, in some ways,

a typical case for Project Blue Book.

There's a sighting, Dr.
Hynek and I look into it.

Are we skeptical?

Yes, we are.

Perhaps sometimes to a fault,

but our job is to protect the public.

And the real truth of it is
that without men like us,

men like David can cause
a nationwide panic.

Blue Book has done its job.

We've closed cases.

We've calmed a public
very eager to believe

in aliens from other worlds.

But without your support today,
the message you will send

is that we were never a credible voice

in the science of ufology,

and that leaves thousands of cases

open for reinterpretation.

And, quite frankly, calls your
own reputations into question.

We understand our role, gentlemen.

And if you understand yours,

together, we can continue
to spread our message.

UFOs don't exist.

Thank you.

I was impressed.

Laid in on a little thick, eh?

You were wonderful.

I guess we wait and see now.

Well, truth is, whatever way it happens,

I think we did our job, Captain.

Hey!

What, you're not gonna say good-bye?

I'll give you this instead:

congratulations.

Looked like the tide
was turning in there.

- That so?
- You must be so pleased.

Well, you know what
really makes me happy?

I was right about you all along.

New administration.

Vying for position.
Just following orders.

Yeah.

I can understand that.

But you didn't just play against me,

you played against Dr. Hynek,
and he's not one of us.

All the more reason to
push him off the field.

Well, game's not over, Dan.

I think you may be right about that.

It sounds like Quinn
really pulled a rabbit

out of his hat and saved Blue Book.

But that's not all he saved.

The night before the panel,

I wrote out a statement,
my true feelings about UFOs,

that they do exist,

and after David's testimony
I missed the chance

to declare these beliefs that
ultimately became my legacy,

a legacy that lives on in
the files of Blue Book

and now in this movie.

Whatever happened to David?

You know, I will always have

a special place in my heart for David.

I mean, he was a con man,

but he told us he'd save us
from the Robertson Panel,

and that is exactly what he did.

- Hmm.
- Professor?

They're just about ready for you.

Okay, thank you.
We'll find our way back.

Shall we?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Allen, look around.

None of this would be here
if it weren't for you.

And I wouldn't be here
if it weren't for you.

Don't you wanna look at the UFO?

Nope, I've seen those before.

Show me something new.

Three, one, five, four,
five, six, five, nine...
