“I was the one who hit him, Terry. I was in that UFO – the spaceship that kept reappearing. I was doing a test flight, the cloaking technology failed, and I tried to touch down in a wheat field before I was spotted. That’s when I lost control and crashed into Ryan Lambert’s truck. Air Force staff were at the crash site picking up the pieces minutes later. I almost died, Terry. After all the bull crap they put me through at the hospital, I took what I knew and went public.”

“You took something alright, Sam. Nobody believed it. You have zero credibility.”

“No, Terry? Still don’t believe me? Here, check out this one.” He hunkered down over the screen and punched in another web site in the Blackberry.

“Looks like dishes over a bath tub. Why are you out here? You don’t want to face reality, Sam!”

“Like I told you, Terry, it’s complicated. It employs technologies beyond human comprehension. We’ve only scratched the surface of how it works.”

“What happened to you?!”
