1. Greetings, my friend. We are
all interested in the future,
Copy !req
2. for that is where you and I
are going to spend the rest of our lives.
Copy !req
3. And remember my friend, future events such
as these will affect you in the future.
Copy !req
4. You are interested in the...
Copy !req
5. unknown, the mysterious,
the unexplainable.
Copy !req
6. That is why you are here.
And now, for the first time,
Copy !req
7. we are bringing to you the full story
of what happened on that fateful day.
Copy !req
8. We are giving you all the evidence, based
only on the secret testimonies...
Copy !req
9. of the miserable souls who survived...
Copy !req
10. this terrifying ordeal. The
incidents, the places,
Copy !req
11. my friend we cannot keep
this a secret any longer.
Copy !req
12. Let us punish the guilty,
Copy !req
13. let us reward the innocent.
My friend,
Copy !req
14. can your heart stand the shocking facts
about grave robbers...
Copy !req
15. from outer space?
Copy !req
16. Plan 9 From Outer Space
Copy !req
17. All of us on this earth, know that
there is a time to live,
Copy !req
18. and that there is a time to die,
yet death is always a shock...
Copy !req
19. to those left behind.
Copy !req
20. It is even more of a shock, when death,
Copy !req
21. the proud brother, comes
suddenly without warning.
Copy !req
22. Just at sundown, a small group,
Copy !req
23. gathered in silent prayer around
the newly-opened grave...
Copy !req
24. of the beloved wife of an elderly man.
Sundown of the day,
Copy !req
25. yet also the sundown of
the old man's heart,
Copy !req
26. for the shadows of grief
clouded his very reason.
Copy !req
27. The funeral over, the saddened
group left the graveside.
Copy !req
28. It was when the gravediggers
started their task...
Copy !req
29. that strange things began to take place.
Copy !req
30. Fifteen to four.
Copy !req
31. Yup, right on schedule. There's the
ol' San Fernando Valley...
Copy !req
32. - ... out there now.
- You better radio in...
Copy !req
33. - ... for landing instructions, Danny.
- Right, Jeff.
Copy !req
34. Burbank Tower, this is American
Flight 812, over.
Copy !req
35. Wouldn't surprise...
Copy !req
36. me any if he's asleep
this time of the morning.
Copy !req
37. American Flight 812, this is Burbank Tower.
If I were asleep...
Copy !req
38. you'd never get on the ground.
Copy !req
39. Your case maybe you'd be
up there for good. Over.
Copy !req
40. You got me that time, Mac.
This American Flight 812 requesting...
Copy !req
41. Burbank Tower to American
Flight 812, over.
Copy !req
42. Burbank Tower to American
Flight 812, over.
Copy !req
43. - Holy mackeral.
- Burbank Tower to American Flight 812,
Copy !req
44. are you in trouble?
Copy !req
45. - Trouble?
- Take a look for yourself.
Copy !req
46. - What in the world...
- That's nothing from this world.
Copy !req
47. Burbank Tower to American Flight 812,
are you in trouble? Are you in trouble?
Copy !req
48. Mayday, mayday. Stand
by, Burbank Tower.
Copy !req
49. Do you suppose the passengers saw it?
Copy !req
50. I doubt it. Most of them are asleep.
But it was quite a jolt, Jeff. I'll check.
Copy !req
51. Good. We'll get them ready for landing.
Keep it quiet until we get instructions.
Copy !req
52. Right.
Copy !req
53. American Flight 812 reporting
to Burbank Tower, over.
Copy !req
54. - D'you hear anything?
- I thought I did.
Copy !req
55. Don't like hearin' noises.
Copy !req
56. 'Specially when there
ain't s'posed to be any.
Copy !req
57. Yeah, sorta spooky-like.
Copy !req
58. - Maybe we're gettin' old.
- Whatever it is it's gone now.
Copy !req
59. That's the best thing for us too. Gone.
Copy !req
60. Yeah, let's go.
Copy !req
61. The grief of his wife's death...
Copy !req
62. became greater and greater agony.
Copy !req
63. The home they had so
long shared together,
Copy !req
64. became a tomb.
Copy !req
65. A sweet memory of her joyous living.
Copy !req
66. The sky to which she had once looked,
was now only a covering for her dead body.
Copy !req
67. The ever-beautiful flowers she had
planted with her own hands,
Copy !req
68. became nothing more than the
lost roses of her cheeks.
Copy !req
69. Confused by his great loss, the old man...
Copy !req
70. left that home,
never to return again.
Copy !req
71. At the funeral of the old man,
unknown to his mourners,
Copy !req
72. his dead wife was watching.
Copy !req
73. - First his wife, then he.
- Tragic.
Copy !req
74. Tell me something. Why was
his wife buried in the ground,
Copy !req
75. - ... and he sealed in a crypt?
- Something to do with family tradition.
Copy !req
76. A superstition of some sort.
Copy !req
77. Well, it's getting' dark.
We'd best be on our way.
Copy !req
78. Then, as two of his mourners
left his final resting place.
Copy !req
79. Minutes later, the police,
lead by Inspector Daniel Clay,
Copy !req
80. arrived at the scene.
Copy !req
81. - Who found him?
- The man and girl.
Copy !req
82. - Medical, uh, examiner been 'round yet?
- Just left.
Copy !req
83. The morgue wagon oughta
be along most any time.
Copy !req
84. You get their statement?
Copy !req
85. Yeah, much as we could.
They're pretty scared.
Copy !req
86. Finding a mess like this
oughta make anyone frightened.
Copy !req
87. Have one of the boys take the guy
and the girl back to town. You take charge.
Copy !req
88. Okay Inspector. What're you gonna do?
Copy !req
89. - Look around a little.
- Pretty dark out there.
Copy !req
90. Once you get beyond the range of
those lights you won't be...
Copy !req
91. able to see your hand
in front of your face.
Copy !req
92. I will get one of the
flashlights from the patrol car.
Copy !req
93. - You be careful Clay.
- I'm a big boy now, Johnny.
Copy !req
94. Looks like a bobcat tore into them.
Copy !req
95. Yeah.
Copy !req
96. Say Lieutenant,
Copy !req
97. - ... d'you get that funny odour?
- How could I miss it?
Copy !req
98. Oh, that'll be the morgue wagon now.
Copy !req
99. - That's the fifth siren in the last hour.
- Oh, something's happened down at...
Copy !req
100. the cemetery. A lot of
police cars and lights.
Copy !req
101. I stopped but I didn't see anything.
Copy !req
102. Oh well, whatever it is, the morning paper
will carry the whole story.
Copy !req
103. You seem to still be up there somewhere.
Copy !req
104. Maybe I am.
Copy !req
105. I don't think I've ever seen you
in this mood before.
Copy !req
106. I guess it's because I've never been
in this mood before.
Copy !req
107. Something about your flight?
Copy !req
108. Yeah.
Copy !req
109. What happened, Jeff?
Copy !req
110. - I saw a flying saucer.
- A saucer?
Copy !req
111. - You mean the kind from up there?
- Yeah, or its counterpart.
Copy !req
112. I was shaped like a huge cigar.
Danny saw it too.
Copy !req
113. When it passed over,
the whole compartment...
Copy !req
114. lighted up with a blinding glare.
Copy !req
115. Then there was a tremendous
wind that practically...
Copy !req
116. knocked us off our course.
Copy !req
117. Well did you report it?
Copy !req
118. Yeah, radioed in immediately
and they said well...
Copy !req
119. keep it quiet until you land.
Copy !req
120. Then as soon as we landed,
big army brass grabbed us...
Copy !req
121. and made us swear to
secrecy about the whole thing.
Copy !req
122. Oh, it burns me up. These things
have been seen for years.
Copy !req
123. They're here, it's a fact.
Copy !req
124. And the public oughta know about it.
Copy !req
125. There must be something
more you can do about it.
Copy !req
126. Oh no there isn't.
Oh, but what's the point of making a fuss.
Copy !req
127. Last night I saw a flying object that...
Copy !req
128. couldn't possibly have
been from this planet.
Copy !req
129. But I can't say a word.
I'm muzzled by army brass.
Copy !req
130. I can't even admit I saw the thing.
Copy !req
131. Sounds like Clay's in trouble.
Copy !req
132. Bet that apparition we saw had
something to do with it.
Copy !req
133. Come on.
Copy !req
134. - Is he dead?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
135. He's messed up as bad as
those two back there.
Copy !req
136. S'pose that saucer or whatever it was
had something to do with this?
Copy !req
137. Your guess is as good as mine, Larry.
Copy !req
138. But one thing's sure.
Inspector Clay is dead...
Copy !req
139. murdered... and somebody's responsible.
Copy !req
140. You're in charge now, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
141. - Yeah, guess I am. Kelton.
- Yes Sir?
Copy !req
142. Get back up to the car and get on the radio.
Copy !req
143. Tell the coroner he's gotta
make another trip out here.
Copy !req
144. Well how 'bout the lab boys?
Copy !req
145. Well who do you think we
left back up the car,
Copy !req
146. boy scouts? Come on, Larry.
Copy !req
147. Greater love hath no man, than to
lay down his life for another.
Copy !req
148. It is always difficult to have last words...
Copy !req
149. over the grave of a friend.
And Inspector Daniel Clay was a friend.
Copy !req
150. A dear friend to me and to all of us.
Copy !req
151. The bell has rung upon his great career.
Copy !req
152. Now we lay him to rest. A rest
well deserved, but so premature.
Copy !req
153. People turning south from the freeway
were startled when they saw...
Copy !req
154. flying saucers high
over Hollywood Boulevard.
Copy !req
155. A woman, startled by the sight in the
sky, telephones the police.
Copy !req
156. There comes a time in each man's life,
Copy !req
157. when he can't even believe his own eyes.
Copy !req
158. Saucers seen over Hollywood.
Copy !req
159. Flying saucers seen over Washington D.C.
Copy !req
160. The army convoy moved into the field.
Copy !req
161. Rockets were quickly set up.
Copy !req
162. Colonel Tom Edwards, in charge
of saucer field activities,
Copy !req
163. was to make the greatest
decision of his career.
Copy !req
164. He made that decision. Colonel
Edwards gave the signal to fire.
Copy !req
165. Then as swiftly as they had come,
they were gone.
Copy !req
166. Even to the piercing eye of radar
and the speeding jet fighters.
Copy !req
167. - Quite a sight, wasn't it Sir.
- A sight I'd rather not be seeing.
Copy !req
168. Are you worried about them Sir?
Copy !req
169. Well, they must have a
reason for their visits.
Copy !req
170. Visits? Well that would indicate visitors.
Copy !req
171. Are big guns the usual
way of welcoming visitors?
Copy !req
172. We haven't always fired at them.
Copy !req
173. For a time we tried to contact
them by radio, but no response.
Copy !req
174. Then they attacked a town.
A small town, I'll admit.
Copy !req
175. But nevertheless a town of people.
Copy !req
176. - People who died.
- I never heard about that Sir.
Copy !req
177. Well, it was covered up by the
higher echelon. Take any fire,
Copy !req
178. any earthquake, any major disaster,
Copy !req
179. then wonder.
Flying saucers, Captain,
Copy !req
180. are still a rumour.
Copy !req
181. Officially.
Copy !req
182. Looks like we beat them off again Sir.
Copy !req
183. What do they want... where are they
from... where are they going...
Copy !req
184. They, Sir? Who?
Copy !req
185. Oh, this is a training manoeuver, Sir.
Copy !req
186. We only did a little practice
firing at the clouds.
Copy !req
187. Yeah. I wonder what
their next move will be.
Copy !req
188. What will their next move be?
Copy !req
189. Your space commander
has returned from Earth.
Copy !req
190. Send him in.
Copy !req
191. You have your report?
Copy !req
192. We had to pull in here to
Space Station 7 for regeneration.
Copy !req
193. We're returning to the planet Earth
immediately thereafter.
Copy !req
194. - What progress has been made?
- We contacted government officials.
Copy !req
195. They refuse our existence.
Copy !req
196. What plan will you follow now?
Copy !req
197. Plan 9. It's been absolutely impossible
to work through these Earth creatures.
Copy !req
198. Their soul is too controlled.
Copy !req
199. Plan 9... ah yes. Plan 9 deals...
Copy !req
200. with the resurrection of the dead.
Copy !req
201. Long-distance electrodes
shot into the pinion...
Copy !req
202. pituitary glands of recent dead.
Copy !req
203. - Have you attempted any of this plan as yet?
- Yes, Excellency.
Copy !req
204. How successful has it been?
Copy !req
205. We have risen two so far.
We shall be just as successful on more.
Copy !req
206. The living... they have no
suspicion of your movements?
Copy !req
207. We had to dispose of one policeman.
Copy !req
208. However, none of those
risen have been seen.
Copy !req
209. At least, not by anyone
who still remains alive.
Copy !req
210. It's too bad it must be handled
this way, but it must.
Copy !req
211. Those who we take from the grave will
lead the way for our other operations.
Copy !req
212. - Yes, Excellency.
- Continue on. Report to me...
Copy !req
213. in two Earth days.
Copy !req
214. I feared His Excellency wouldn't
take our report this well.
Copy !req
215. Well had he been dealing
with our own people...
Copy !req
216. his reaction would have
been completely different.
Copy !req
217. He understands the difficulties
of the Earth race.
Copy !req
218. What do you think will be the next obstacle
the Earth people will put in our way?
Copy !req
219. Well, as long as they can
think, we'll have our problems.
Copy !req
220. But those whom we're using
cannot think. They are the dead.
Copy !req
221. Brought to a simulated life
by our electrode guns.
Copy !req
222. You know, it's an
interesting thing when you...
Copy !req
223. consider... the Earth
people, who can think,
Copy !req
224. are so frightened by those
who cannot: The dead.
Copy !req
225. Well our ship should be
regenerated. We better get started.
Copy !req
226. I still think you oughta go in town and
stay with your mother until I get back.
Copy !req
227. This is our home and nothing's
going to take me from it.
Copy !req
228. Besides, most men try and keep their
wives from going home to Momma.
Copy !req
229. - That's not the point.
- That's all the point there's going to be.
Copy !req
230. Now toddle off and fly your
flying machine, Darling.
Copy !req
231. But if you see any more...
Copy !req
232. flying saucers, will you tell
them to pick another house to buzz?
Copy !req
233. Be careful.
Don't worry about me.
Copy !req
234. Oh you're the only thing I do worry about.
Oh forget about the flying saucers.
Copy !req
235. They're up there. But there's
something in that cemetery,
Copy !req
236. and that's too close for comfort.
Copy !req
237. The saucers are up there.
And the cemetery's out there.
Copy !req
238. But I'll be locked up in there.
Now off to your wild blue yonders.
Copy !req
239. You promise you'll lock
the doors immediately?
Copy !req
240. I promise. Besides, I'll be in
bed before half an hour is gone,
Copy !req
241. - ... with your pillow beside me.
- My pillow?
Copy !req
242. Well, I have to have something to
keep me company while you're away.
Copy !req
243. Sometimes in the night when
it does get a little lonely,
Copy !req
244. I reach over and touch it, then it
doesn't seem so lonely anymore.
Copy !req
245. A crazy kid.
Copy !req
246. I do love you, Darlin'.
Copy !req
247. - See you Thursday.
- Goodbye, Honey.
Copy !req
248. You know I'm not leaving here
until you're locked safely inside.
Copy !req
249. All right, Darling.
Copy !req
250. If you're especially nice I
may even lock the side door.
Copy !req
251. And be sure you keep the yard lights on.
Copy !req
252. You're mighty silent this trip, Jeff.
Copy !req
253. You haven't spoken ten
words since takeoff.
Copy !req
254. I guess I'm preoccupied, Danny.
Copy !req
255. We've got thirty-three passengers back
there that have time to be preoccupied.
Copy !req
256. Flying this flybird doesn't
give you that opportunity.
Copy !req
257. I guess you're right, Danny.
Copy !req
258. - Paula?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
259. - There's nothing wrong between you two?
- Oh no, nothing like that.
Copy !req
260. Just that I'm worried, she
being there alone and...
Copy !req
261. those strange things
flying over the house and...
Copy !req
262. those incidents in the graveyard the
past few days. It's just got me worried.
Copy !req
263. Well, I haven't figured
out those crazy skybirds...
Copy !req
264. yet but I give you fifty to one odds...
Copy !req
265. the police have figured out
that cemetery thing by now.
Copy !req
266. I hope so.
Copy !req
267. If you're really that worried Jeff
why don't you radio in and find out?
Copy !req
268. Mac should be on duty at the field by now.
Copy !req
269. He could call Paula and
relay the message to you.
Copy !req
270. Hi Edith.
Copy !req
271. Hi Silents. I haven't heard a word from this
end of the plane since we left the field.
Copy !req
272. Jeff's been giving
himself and me a study in silence.
Copy !req
273. - You boys are feudin'?
- Oh no Edie, nothing like that.
Copy !req
274. Hey Edie, how about you and me
bowling it up in Albuquerque?
Copy !req
275. Albuquerque? Have you read
that flight schedule Boy?
Copy !req
276. What about it?
Copy !req
277. We land in Albuquerque at 4 am.
That's strictly a nine o'clock town.
Copy !req
278. Well I know a friend that'll help us...
Copy !req
279. - Let's have a problem first, huh Danny.
- Ah he's worried about Paula.
Copy !req
280. I read about that cemetery business.
Copy !req
281. I tried to get you kids to not
buy too near one of those things.
Copy !req
282. We get there soon enough as it is.
Copy !req
283. He thought it'd be quiet and peaceful there.
Copy !req
284. No doubt about that.
It's quiet alright, like a tomb.
Copy !req
285. I'm sorry Jeff, that was a bad joke.
Copy !req
286. Say, I almost forgot
what I came in here for.
Copy !req
287. How's the coffee situation?
Copy !req
288. - That's for me.
- That sure wouldn't hurt a thing, Edie.
Copy !req
289. Okay, I'll be right back. And say
Jeff, make that call to your wife.
Copy !req
290. Huh, not only will she throw cold water
on my Albuquerque plan but now she's...
Copy !req
291. repeating herself.
Copy !req
292. - How 'bout that Albuquerque bowl?
- I can't resist your charm, Danny Boy.
Copy !req
293. Residents near the cemetery paid little
attention to the blast of thunder...
Copy !req
294. and the flash of lightning.
Copy !req
295. But from the blast, arose the
moving figure of the dead old man.
Copy !req
296. Hello? Who?
Copy !req
297. Mac? Well, hi Mac.
Copy !req
298. Sure I'm all right.
Copy !req
299. I just fell asleep.
Copy !req
300. Tell Jeff I'm all right.
Copy !req
301. Okay Mac. Thanks for calling. Goodnight.
Copy !req
302. Mrs. Trent. Mrs. Trent. What's wrong?
Copy !req
303. They'll be at the hatch in a moment.
You can open it now, Tanna.
Copy !req
304. Turn off the electrodes quickly.
They can't tell us from anyone else.
Copy !req
305. It's tough to find something when you
don't know what you're looking for.
Copy !req
306. I don't think the Lieutenant does either.
Copy !req
307. Then What're doing out here?
I was off duty an hour ago.
Copy !req
308. Ah don't ask me any questions.
I'm just a hard-hand just like you.
Copy !req
309. What do you suppose that noise was?
Copy !req
310. Whatever it was it's no
more strange than the...
Copy !req
311. other things happening
around this cemetery.
Copy !req
312. Spirits like Old Farmer
Caulder talked about.
Copy !req
313. Heh. Maybe.
Copy !req
314. The only spirits he saw tonight
were those I smelled on his breath.
Copy !req
315. Well don't forget Mrs. Trent
claims to have seen them too.
Copy !req
316. She didn't have anything on her breath.
Copy !req
317. She was hysterical.
Copy !req
318. Well true, she was frightened,
and in a state of shock.
Copy !req
319. But, don't forget that torn
nightgown and the scratched feet.
Copy !req
320. Yeah I hadn't thought of that.
Copy !req
321. I guess that's why you're
a detective lieutenant...
Copy !req
322. and I'm still a uniformed cop.
Copy !req
323. Sometimes it's only the breaks,
Larry. In the meantime let's get...
Copy !req
324. - Lieutenant, Lieutenant. Did you hear that?
- How could we help it?
Copy !req
325. - It sure was strange.
- Know what it was?
Copy !req
326. No more than you do.
Copy !req
327. If it weren't for orders I'd
get out of here right now.
Copy !req
328. It was a saucer.
Copy !req
329. A flying saucer? What makes you say that?
Copy !req
330. You remember the noise we
heard the other night?
Copy !req
331. We were knocked to the
ground, how could I forget?
Copy !req
332. Exactly, but you're not
remembering that sound.
Copy !req
333. There you're wrong, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
334. I'm with a fact the sound is similar,
but what about the blinding light?
Copy !req
335. Well haven't you heard?
Many times a saucer hasn't had a glow,
Copy !req
336. - ... or a light of any kind for that matter.
- That proves it. What next Lietenant?
Copy !req
337. Maybe this doesn't mean much,
Copy !req
338. but uh Jamie and me found a grave
that looks like it's been busted into.
Copy !req
339. - What? Where?
- Why... uh... why...
Copy !req
340. Come on man out with it, we
haven't got all day to waste.
Copy !req
341. - Uh, just over there beyond the crypt.
- All right, show us the way.
Copy !req
342. Look, here it is Lieutenant.
Copy !req
343. Ah it's been broken into all right.
Copy !req
344. Strange. If someone had broken in, the
dirt should be piled up here somewhere.
Copy !req
345. It looks like it's fallen in into the grave.
Copy !req
346. Larry you'll be out of that
uniform before you know it.
Copy !req
347. Do we have the right to
look down there Lieutenant?
Copy !req
348. Ah, technically no.
Copy !req
349. Well, this spot looks familiar, though.
Copy !req
350. We shouldn't investigate any further
without the permission of next of kin.
Copy !req
351. Let's go get it.
Copy !req
352. How?
Copy !req
353. I see what you mean, the
gravestone's down there.
Copy !req
354. Well, let's go down and
find out who's grave it is.
Copy !req
355. - How?
- By going down and finding out.
Copy !req
356. - Are you sure you mean that Lieutenant?
- If I didn't mean it I wouldn't have said it.
Copy !req
357. Scared?
Copy !req
358. Well, why do I always get hooked
up with these spook details?
Copy !req
359. Monsters, graves, bodies,
Copy !req
360. oooh all right.
Copy !req
361. Casket's here, but nobody's in it.
Copy !req
362. Can you read the name on the casket?
Copy !req
363. It's too dark. Give me a flashlight.
Copy !req
364. - How 'bout a match?
- We sure could try it. Let me have them.
Copy !req
365. It's Inspector Clay's grave.
Be he ain't in it.
Copy !req
366. But meanwhile, in the
Pentagon, in Washington DC...
Copy !req
367. Try G2.
Copy !req
368. Come in.
Copy !req
369. Yes of course, I'll keep in touch.
Copy !req
370. Come in, Colonel Edwards. Close
the door. At ease, Colonel.
Copy !req
371. - Thank you, Sir.
- Sit down.
Copy !req
372. I understand, Colonel, you've been on
tap for many of our saucer attacks.
Copy !req
373. I'm in charge of field operations, Sir.
Copy !req
374. You believe there are such things
as flying saucers, Colonel?
Copy !req
375. - Yes sir.
- You've seen them?
Copy !req
376. Yes sir.
Copy !req
377. You realize there's a government directive...
Copy !req
378. stating that there is no
such thing as a flying saucer?
Copy !req
379. Yes sir.
Copy !req
380. Do you stand by your statement
that you've seen flying saucers?
Copy !req
381. Well, uh...
Copy !req
382. yes sir.
Copy !req
383. This could mean a court Marshall.
Admitting this against direct orders.
Copy !req
384. General Roberts, may I speak freely?
Copy !req
385. You may.
Copy !req
386. How could I hope to
hold down my command...
Copy !req
387. if I didn't believe in
what I saw and shot at?
Copy !req
388. - I, uh, like you Colonel.
- Thank you, Sir.
Copy !req
389. There are flying saucers.
Copy !req
390. There's no doubt they are in our skies.
They've been there for some time.
Copy !req
391. What're we going to do about them?
Copy !req
392. - Who knows?
- Then, uh, they really are there?
Copy !req
393. - I thought you were convinced of that.
- I am.
Copy !req
394. We've had contact with them.
Copy !req
395. - Contact? How?
- Radio.
Copy !req
396. - They speak our language?
- Well not quite.
Copy !req
397. We received messages
from their space ships.
Copy !req
398. For a while it came in as
just a lot of jumbled noise.
Copy !req
399. And now, Sir?
Copy !req
400. Well since they first uh tried
contact with us by radio,
Copy !req
401. we've developed a language computer.
Copy !req
402. A machine that breaks down
any language to our own.
Copy !req
403. General, uh, what's this
all got to do with me?
Copy !req
404. Well you've been in charge of saucer
field activity for a long while.
Copy !req
405. I think it's about time you heard
these recordings. Do you mind?
Copy !req
406. Mind? Huh, I'm anxious.
Copy !req
407. This is Eros, a space soldier
from a planet of your galaxy.
Copy !req
408. I fully realize our language differences,
however I also know you finally have...
Copy !req
409. perfected the dictorobitary,
or as you on Earth put it,
Copy !req
410. the language computer. So you can
now understand that which I speak.
Copy !req
411. Since the beginning of your time, we
have been far beyond your planet.
Copy !req
412. It has taken you centuries to even grasp
what we developed eons of your years ago.
Copy !req
413. Do you still believe it impossible we exist?
Copy !req
414. You didn't actually think you were the
only inhabited planet in the universe?
Copy !req
415. How can any race be so stupid?
Copy !req
416. Permit me to set your mind at ease.
Copy !req
417. We do not want to conquer
your planet. Only save it.
Copy !req
418. We could have destroyed it long
ago, if that had been our aim.
Copy !req
419. Our principal purpose is friendly.
Copy !req
420. I admit, we have had to take
certain means which you might...
Copy !req
421. refer to as criminal,
Copy !req
422. but that is because of your big guns...
Copy !req
423. which have destroyed some
of our representatives.
Copy !req
424. If you persist in denying us our landings,
Copy !req
425. then we must only accept that you
do not want us on friendly terms.
Copy !req
426. We then have no alternative but to
destroy you before you destroy us.
Copy !req
427. With your ancient, juvenile minds,
you have developed explosives...
Copy !req
428. too fast for your minds to
conceive what you were doing.
Copy !req
429. You are on the verge of
destroying the entire universe.
Copy !req
430. We are part of that universe.
Copy !req
431. This is our last...
Copy !req
432. That's the end of that one.
Copy !req
433. Atmospheric conditions in outer space
often interfere with transmitting.
Copy !req
434. How many of these recordings
do you have General?
Copy !req
435. An even dozen up to now.
This was the last one.
Copy !req
436. We received it over a month ago.
Copy !req
437. - Do you think they mean business?
- We can't afford to take any chances.
Copy !req
438. Come over here.
Copy !req
439. You ever been to Hollywood?
Copy !req
440. - Oh, a couple of times. A few years ago.
- You're going to be there in the morning.
Copy !req
441. Just a few minutes from Hollywood, in the...
Copy !req
442. town of San Fernando,
reports have come in...
Copy !req
443. of saucers flying so low the
exhaust knocked people to the ground.
Copy !req
444. There have even been stated
claims of saucer landings.
Copy !req
445. Major Carlson will replace
you while you're out there.
Copy !req
446. You're the best man for the job
of attempting to contact them.
Copy !req
447. Find them, Colonel. See what
in hell it is they want.
Copy !req
448. All right, Sir.
Copy !req
449. These are confidential reports, Colonel.
Read them over carefully on the plane,
Copy !req
450. turn them over to intelligence
when you get to Los Angeles.
Copy !req
451. They'll have further orders for disposition.
Copy !req
452. Yes sir.
Copy !req
453. - Colonel Edwards?
- Yes sir?
Copy !req
454. - Good luck.
- Thank you, Sir.
Copy !req
455. We are ready to report, Excellency.
Copy !req
456. - You are many days late.
- It was unavoidable.
Copy !req
457. We tried to transmit via
televisor, but atmospheric...
Copy !req
458. conditions made
transmission impossible.
Copy !req
459. You should have transmitted as
soon as conditions permitted.
Copy !req
460. I thought time was of the essence.
Copy !req
461. Suspicion has fallen upon our movements.
Copy !req
462. Our ships have been viewed
near the point of operations.
Copy !req
463. And what has this added time
gained you, Eros?
Copy !req
464. We have successfully risen
three of the dead ones.
Copy !req
465. - Permit me to see one.
- Bring in the big one.
Copy !req
466. Use your small electrode gun.
Copy !req
467. I have taken two ships from your command.
Copy !req
468. But... that will leave only my ship.
Copy !req
469. It is necessary that you
continue your mission alone.
Copy !req
470. I have need of your other ships elsewhere.
Copy !req
471. Even though you have risen
three of the Earth dead,
Copy !req
472. the plan is far from successful,
Copy !req
473. and you Eros, must prove it an
operational success before...
Copy !req
474. more time, energy, ships and your
countrymen may be spent on it.
Copy !req
475. We will not fail.
Everything is on our side.
Copy !req
476. Not everything.
You do not have the live Earth people.
Copy !req
477. You report that your ship was viewed
at scene of your present operations?
Copy !req
478. That is correct.
Copy !req
479. They have been viewed many times,
but not at the scene of operations.
Copy !req
480. Something must be done about that.
Copy !req
481. Stop him Tanna. He's close enough.
Turn off your electrode gun.
Copy !req
482. No. No. Stop him Tanna.
Copy !req
483. - I can't get it, it's jammed.
- Stop him you fool.
Copy !req
484. Drop the gun to the floor, Tanna.
The metal will break contact.
Copy !req
485. That was too close.
Copy !req
486. Yes.
Copy !req
487. Bring the giant here that
I may get a better look at him.
Copy !req
488. Yes, he's a fine specimen.
Are they all this powerful on planet Earth?
Copy !req
489. This one is an exception, Excellency.
Copy !req
490. - What are the other two like?
- One is a woman, the other an old man.
Copy !req
491. - An old man, you say?
- Yes, Excellency.
Copy !req
492. This gives me a plan. Put the big one away.
Copy !req
493. Pick up your electrode gun.
Copy !req
494. Make sure it's in working order
before pointing it at him.
Copy !req
495. Whatever made it jam must have
been cleared by the fall.
Copy !req
496. Take him back to the ship.
Copy !req
497. The old one must be
sacrificed. Re-land on Earth.
Copy !req
498. Send the old one to enter a dwelling.
Copy !req
499. Then cut the electrokinetic and
turn on your ship's decomposure ray.
Copy !req
500. The result will astound those watching.
Astound them enough to delay their...
Copy !req
501. intention until you have gained
your other recruits from the cemetery.
Copy !req
502. Yes, Excellency. It'll be done.
Copy !req
503. Report to me when this
has been accomplished.
Copy !req
504. Eros, the Earth people are
getting closer to that which we fear.
Copy !req
505. Since they will not listen
or respect our existence,
Copy !req
506. they cannot help but
believe our powers when...
Copy !req
507. they see their own dead
walking 'round again,
Copy !req
508. brought about by our
advancement in such things.
Copy !req
509. As soon as you have enough
of the dead recruits,
Copy !req
510. march them on the capitals of the Earth,
let nothing stand in your way. Their own...
Copy !req
511. dead will be used to make them accept
our existence, and believe in that fact.
Copy !req
512. Mr. And Mrs. Trent... this is
Colonel Edwards from Washington DC.
Copy !req
513. - Good evening, Colonel.
- Hello Colonel.
Copy !req
514. Colonel would like to
ask you a few questions.
Copy !req
515. - Questions? What about, Colonel?
- May I, uh, sit down?
Copy !req
516. Oh, I'm sorry, please do.
Copy !req
517. I want to ask you about
your strange experience...
Copy !req
518. the other night, when
you saw the flying saucer.
Copy !req
519. After that the police brought me home.
Copy !req
520. I hope I never see such a sight again.
Copy !req
521. Well after your description I don't
think I'd want to see it either.
Copy !req
522. One thing more,
Copy !req
523. after you were forced to
the ground by that blast of wind,
Copy !req
524. - ... was it a hot or cold blast?
- It's kind of hard to explain.
Copy !req
525. It wasn't hot, wasn't cold,
it was just a terrific...
Copy !req
526. force.
We-we couldn't get off the ground.
Copy !req
527. The light blinded me so
badly I couldn't see a thing.
Copy !req
528. We could only feel the pressure
of the wind, until it was gone.
Copy !req
529. When the glare left us,
Copy !req
530. we could see a glowing ball
disappearing off in the distance.
Copy !req
531. - Which way?
- Toward the cemetery.
Copy !req
532. This is the most fantastic
story I've ever heard.
Copy !req
533. And every word of it's true, too.
Copy !req
534. That's the fantastic part of it.
Copy !req
535. We found a lot of suspicious
things out in that cemetery.
Copy !req
536. Then again, didn't find anything
to base a fact or suspicion on.
Copy !req
537. Hey, do you hear anything?
Copy !req
538. You see anything out there Kelton?
Copy !req
539. Too dark, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
540. But something's started stinking awful bad.
Copy !req
541. There's something out there.
Copy !req
542. What do you make of that?
Copy !req
543. You got me. It didn't look
that way a minute ago.
Copy !req
544. What about your man?
Copy !req
545. Oh, in the excitement I
forgot all about Kelton.
Copy !req
546. Oh, he'll be all right in a few minutes.
Copy !req
547. - Did you see that thing? Did you get it?
- We got it.
Copy !req
548. What was it? It didn't fall,
I fired every bullet I had.
Copy !req
549. So did I. I don't know what it was or what happened,
but unless that bag of bones over there...
Copy !req
550. can reassemble itself,
it's out of the running now.
Copy !req
551. Colonel I've been out here so often you'd
think I'd taken a lease on this place.
Copy !req
552. Not a long lease, I hope.
Copy !req
553. I see what you mean. But you know, I can't
help but feel the answer's out here somewhere.
Copy !req
554. Is the... girl safe?
Copy !req
555. - Mrs. Trent you'd better stay with the car.
- Stay here alone? Not on your life.
Copy !req
556. Modern women...
Copy !req
557. Yeah, they been that way
all down through the ages.
Copy !req
558. Especially in a spot like this.
Copy !req
559. - Kelton. - Yes sir?
- Stay with Mrs. Trent.
Copy !req
560. All right, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
561. - Now you stay close to the officer, Honey.
- I'd feel safer with you.
Copy !req
562. Now the Lieutenant knows best.
Copy !req
563. Oh I don't like it, but I guess
there isn't much I can do about it.
Copy !req
564. - You have a gun?
- No.
Copy !req
565. Know how to use one?
Copy !req
566. After four years in the Marine Corps?
Copy !req
567. - Here.
- You think we'll need these?
Copy !req
568. You can never tell. Let's get going.
Copy !req
569. What do you expect to find out here?
Copy !req
570. Well there's only one
answer to that Mr. Trent,
Copy !req
571. we'll know when we find it.
Inspector Clay's grave is right over here.
Copy !req
572. - Is that the one you told
me was broken into? - Yes.
Copy !req
573. - This it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
574. Looks to me like someone had
broken out instead of in.
Copy !req
575. I figured that, but that's
impossible.
Copy !req
576. Look, Colonel, some
things just can't happen.
Copy !req
577. Yeah well after that apparition that
was draped across Mr. Trent's...
Copy !req
578. patio, I would say we should
keep our minds open to anything.
Copy !req
579. Look, Colonel, I'm a policeman.
I've got to deal in facts.
Copy !req
580. But, I guess I'll have to go along
with you. You know I bet my...
Copy !req
581. badge right now we haven't
seen the last of those weirdies.
Copy !req
582. - They'll discover our ship soon.
- You going to let them find us?
Copy !req
583. It's the only way. These are the same
men who have been so close so often.
Copy !req
584. They must be halted before they
can inform others about us.
Copy !req
585. - But there were others in the car.
- They'll be taken too.
Copy !req
586. Send the big one for
girl and the policeman.
Copy !req
587. I'll turn on the dictorobitary
so we may converse with them.
Copy !req
588. You know, maybe we're
barking up the wrong tree.
Copy !req
589. One thing a policeman learns,
Mr. Trent, is patience.
Copy !req
590. - Where's that burn spot you mentioned.
- Right over the... Look!
Copy !req
591. We'll investigate, but move carefully.
Copy !req
592. A moment or two more, and you will
be the first live Earth people...
Copy !req
593. ever to enter a celestial ship.
Copy !req
594. Wow... boy, how could anything
that big hide for so long a time?
Copy !req
595. Never heard metal sound like that before.
Copy !req
596. What do you see?
Copy !req
597. Only my reflection. Must be
some kind of one-way glass.
Copy !req
598. - I wonder how you get into this thing.
- I'm not sure I want to find out.
Copy !req
599. They're just outside.
Copy !req
600. You can open the outer hatch now.
Copy !req
601. - You goin' in that thing?
- That's what we're here for.
Copy !req
602. I don't know, the way these
things speed around...
Copy !req
603. we might just get in
there and pft. Off it goes.
Copy !req
604. That's a chance we take.
Copy !req
605. Well, I took a chance on those earlier
airplanes. Might just as well...
Copy !req
606. see what the inside of one of
these looks like. Got your guns ready?
Copy !req
607. I tell you one thing, if a
little green man pops out on me...
Copy !req
608. I'm shooting first
and asking questions later.
Copy !req
609. They're in the outer chamber now.
Copy !req
610. Eros, do we have to kill them?
Copy !req
611. - Yes.
- It seems such a waste.
Copy !req
612. Well wouldn't it be better to kill a few
now than, with their meddling, permit...
Copy !req
613. them to destroy the entire universe?
Copy !req
614. - You're always right, Eros.
- Of course.
Copy !req
615. But those are not my words,
those are the words of the Ruler.
Copy !req
616. Now you two stay right where you're at.
Copy !req
617. We will do as you command.
For the moment.
Copy !req
618. No for the moment about it.
You just do as I tell you.
Copy !req
619. - You do not need guns.
- Maybe we think we do.
Copy !req
620. They would be of no use to you now.
Copy !req
621. They've been mighty useful
before on flesh and blood,
Copy !req
622. and you two look like
you've got a lot of both.
Copy !req
623. True, they would be
effective upon us. If you...
Copy !req
624. were to have the
opportunity to use them...
Copy !req
625. Mister, if you don't get away from that
control board I'll show you just how...
Copy !req
626. effective they can be.
Copy !req
627. Shall we talk now, or wait?
Your friends will be here shortly.
Copy !req
628. - What friends?
- Those you left at the vehicle.
Copy !req
629. - If you've done anything to Paula...
- Take it easy Mr. Trent.
Copy !req
630. Oh I assure you, no harm has come
to her. Would you like to see?
Copy !req
631. Next time you try that I
won't aim at the board.
Copy !req
632. You're a headstrong young man.
Copy !req
633. I was only going to turn on the
televisor so you could see her movements.
Copy !req
634. Go ahead, my friend,
but move very carefully.
Copy !req
635. She's only fainted.
Copy !req
636. - You fiend.
- I? A fiend?
Copy !req
637. I am a soldier of our planet.
Copy !req
638. I? A fiend? We did not
come here as enemies.
Copy !req
639. We came only with friendly
intentions. To talk.
Copy !req
640. To ask your aid.
Copy !req
641. - Our aid?
- Yes.
Copy !req
642. Your aid for the whole universe.
But your governments...
Copy !req
643. of Earth refused even
to accept our existence.
Copy !req
644. Even though you've seen us, heard our
messages, you still refused to accept us.
Copy !req
645. Why is it so important that you want to
contact the governments of our Earth?
Copy !req
646. Because of death. Because
all you of Earth are idiots.
Copy !req
647. - Now you just hold on, Buster.
- No you hold on.
Copy !req
648. First was your firecracker, a harmless
explosive. Then your hand grenade.
Copy !req
649. They began to kill your own people a few at
a time. Then the bomb, then a larger bomb.
Copy !req
650. Many people are killed at one
time. Then your scientists...
Copy !req
651. stumbled upon the atom
bomb. Split the atom.
Copy !req
652. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you
actually explode the air itself.
Copy !req
653. Now...
brings the destruction...
Copy !req
654. of the entire universe, served by our sun.
Copy !req
655. The only explosion left is the solaronite.
Copy !req
656. - Why there's no such thing.
- Perhaps to you.
Copy !req
657. But we've known it for
centuries. Your scientists...
Copy !req
658. will stumble upon it as
they have all the others.
Copy !req
659. But the juvenile minds which you possess will not
comprehend its strength, until it's too late.
Copy !req
660. You're way above our heads.
Copy !req
661. The solaronite is a way to explode
the actual particles of sunlight.
Copy !req
662. Why that's impossible.
Copy !req
663. Even now, your scientists are working
on a way to harness the sun's rays.
Copy !req
664. The rays of sunlight are minute particles.
Copy !req
665. Is it so far from your imagination
they cannot do as I have suggested?
Copy !req
666. Why a particle of sunlight
can't even be seen or measured.
Copy !req
667. Can you see or measure an atom?
Yet you can explode one.
Copy !req
668. A ray of sunlight is made up many atoms.
Copy !req
669. So what if we do develop this solaronite...
Copy !req
670. bomb? We'd be even a
stronger nation than now.
Copy !req
671. Stronger. You see? You see? Your
stupid minds... stupid. Stupid.
Copy !req
672. - That's all I'm taking from you.
- Get back here you jerk.
Copy !req
673. Let him finish.
Copy !req
674. It's because of men like you
that all must be destroyed.
Copy !req
675. Headstrong, violent.
No use of the mind God gave you.
Copy !req
676. You talk of God?
Copy !req
677. You also think it impossible that
we, too, might think of God?
Copy !req
678. You, who wear the uniform of your country.
You see, I wear the uniform of my country.
Copy !req
679. Yes, we've had to use drastic means to get
to you, but you left us no alternative.
Copy !req
680. When you have the solaronite, you
have nothing. Nor, does the universe.
Copy !req
681. You speak of solaronite, but just what is it?
Copy !req
682. Take a can of your gasoline. Say
this can of gasoline is the sun.
Copy !req
683. Now you spread a thin a line of it
to a ball, representing the Earth.
Copy !req
684. Now, the gasoline represents
the sunlight, the sun particles.
Copy !req
685. Here we saturate the ball with
the gasoline, the sunlight.
Copy !req
686. Then we put a flame to the ball. The flame
will speedily travel around the Earth,
Copy !req
687. back along the line of gasoline to can,
Copy !req
688. or the sun itself. It will
explode this source, and spread...
Copy !req
689. to every place that
gasoline, or sunlight, touches.
Copy !req
690. Explode the sunlight here, Gentlemen,
and you explode the universe.
Copy !req
691. Explode the sunlight here, and a chain
reaction will occur, direct to the sun itself.
Copy !req
692. And to all the planets that sunlight touches.
Copy !req
693. To every planet in the universe.
This why you must be stopped.
Copy !req
694. This is why any means
must be used to stop you.
Copy !req
695. In a friendly manner,
or as it seems, you want it.
Copy !req
696. He's mad.
Copy !req
697. Mad? Is it mad that you destroy
other people to save yourselves?
Copy !req
698. You have done this.
Copy !req
699. Is it mad that one country must
destroy another to save themselves?
Copy !req
700. You have also done this.
How then is it mad that one planet...
Copy !req
701. must destroy another that
threatens the very existence...
Copy !req
702. That's enough.
Copy !req
703. In my land, women are for advancing
the race, not for fighting...
Copy !req
704. man's battles. Life is not
so expansive on my planet.
Copy !req
705. We don't cling to it like you do. Our entire
aim is for the development of our planet.
Copy !req
706. - What happened to you?
- How come you're all alone?
Copy !req
707. I asked for lots of help.
Copy !req
708. You sounded drunk or
something on the radio.
Copy !req
709. If I didn't see it with my own eyes
I would never have believed it.
Copy !req
710. Believed what?
Copy !req
711. It was horrible. And he
almost broke my shoulder.
Copy !req
712. Look, what are you trying to
say? If you don't make sense...
Copy !req
713. we'll never get to the bottom
of this. Now who slugged you?
Copy !req
714. Inspector Clay.
Copy !req
715. What?
Copy !req
716. It was Clay all right, only
not like we remembered him.
Copy !req
717. Well his grave was busted into, wasn't it?
Copy !req
718. Next you'll tell me you saw skeletons.
Copy !req
719. - We did, earlier.
- Now I know you're off your rocker.
Copy !req
720. All of us saw, the Lieutenant,
the Colonel, everybody.
Copy !req
721. - Where's the Lieutenant now?
- We've gotta find them.
Copy !req
722. Mrs. Trent is gone.
I was left here to guard her.
Copy !req
723. Then Clay showed up and
put me out of the running.
Copy !req
724. And the second time tonight and
I'm getting darned tired of it.
Copy !req
725. - Which way were they going?
- Oh, that way.
Copy !req
726. Come on.
Copy !req
727. Then one day it could all be
gone, in one big puff of smoke...
Copy !req
728. and ball of fire. All that out there,
Copy !req
729. the stars, the planets,
Copy !req
730. all just an empty void.
Copy !req
731. You two had better come along with us.
Copy !req
732. - Come with you? Where?
- The police station.
Copy !req
733. So it seems you think
you have the upper hand.
Copy !req
734. Look out there.
Copy !req
735. Jeff.
Copy !req
736. She is unharmed, but he would
kill in seconds if I so choose.
Copy !req
737. Holy cow.
Copy !req
738. Look there.
Copy !req
739. - It's Clay all right, there's no mistaking that.
- And he's got Mrs. Trent.
Copy !req
740. Get your gun ready.
Copy !req
741. From all I've seen tonight
guns won't do any good.
Copy !req
742. Clay is dead, and we
buried him. How are we...
Copy !req
743. going to kill somebody
that's already dead?
Copy !req
744. Dead. And yet there he stands. That other
one earlier I emptied a full clip into him.
Copy !req
745. I'm seeing it, that's the only
reason I'm listening to you.
Copy !req
746. Look, I've got an idea. Hurt him or
not, we've got to try something.
Copy !req
747. I'm going to sneak up behind him and whop...
Copy !req
748. him over the head. That
oughta make him move.
Copy !req
749. Follow me. Even when Clay was alive he
couldn't run fast enough to catch me,
Copy !req
750. so when he does, you grab
Mrs. Trent and run...
Copy !req
751. like lightning
in the opposite direction.
Copy !req
752. - Oh, you think it will work?
- Know anything else to try?
Copy !req
753. Oh, I'll be all right.
Take care of the others.
Copy !req
754. Your men have felled the big one.
Copy !req
755. This could only happen because
the electrode ray is off.
Copy !req
756. He'll walk again when I turn it on.
Copy !req
757. Hold it, right there.
Copy !req
758. Suppose the Lieutenant and
the others are in that thing.
Copy !req
759. Well suppose there are martians
or something in there.
Copy !req
760. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
761. Open up in there, open up.
Copy !req
762. Get that door open.
Copy !req
763. Colonel I wouldn't know
one switch from another.
Copy !req
764. Hold on Eros, I'll have the
ship in the air in a minute.
Copy !req
765. Get out of here, Jeff. The ship's on fire.
Copy !req
766. Eros.
Copy !req
767. Eros everything's on fire. Hurry, wake
up Eros. Eros, Eros, wake up, wake up.
Copy !req
768. Eros. Eros wake up, Eros. God wake up.
Copy !req
769. Oh, I wonder if that's the
last we'll see of them?
Copy !req
770. Perhaps, but sooner or
later there'll be others.
Copy !req
771. Look.
Copy !req
772. Have they caught that
woman, that thing yet?
Copy !req
773. Hey that's right, there's
another ghoul running loose.
Copy !req
774. And it's my guess that she'll look like him.
Copy !req
775. With the ship and the ray gun
gone, they have no control.
Copy !req
776. We got to hand it to them though,
they're far ahead of us.
Copy !req
777. Fire. Eros.
Copy !req
778. My friend, you have seen this
incident based on sworn testimony.
Copy !req
779. Can you prove that it didn't happen?
Copy !req
780. Perhaps on your way home,
someone will pass you in the dark,
Copy !req
781. and you will never know it, for
they will be from outer space.
Copy !req
782. Many scientists believe that another
world is watching us this moment.
Copy !req
783. We once laughed at the
horseless carriage,
Copy !req
784. the aeroplane, the telephone,
the electric light, vitamins,
Copy !req
785. radio, and even television.
Copy !req
786. And now some of us laugh at outer space.
Copy !req
787. God help us... in the future.
Copy !req
