just in case.

Absolutely.

Better safe than sorry.

Yes, sir.

Sherman, it seems something odd

crashed nearby.

well, it couldn't have been

anything of ours.

l'd have heard about it

from the pentagon.

we know that, sherman. You're our

pipeline to knowledge.

Come with us.

You and marsha up

for some bridge this weekend?

well, l don't know.

l'll have to check on it.

lf you know what's good for you.

And now, frank joyce

with the local news.

well, it's been kind of an interesting day

here in roswell.

we have in our studio

mac brazel.

Mac, could you tell us exactly what

it is you found up there on your ranch.

Yeah, well,

i'd say most likely...

lt's something that come

from another planet.

Everything out there

was real strange,

Like from one of them

flyin' saucers.

well, we have been hearing

all last month...

About people seeing

strange things in the air.

But if you are right, we may have one

on the ground.

where'd you say

this stuff came down?

A ranch about 60 miles

west of here,

Run by a fellow

name of brazel.

Any ideas?

hey, how'd your interview go?

- went pretty good, l guess.

- you the fellow, that brought this in?

lt might not be a bad idea if y'all got

somebody out there to clean that mess up.

'cause whatever in the hell that is,

it's scattered all up and down my place,

Any my damn sheep

won't cross through it.

when exactly

did you find this stuff?

About three days ago,

right after that last storm.

what made you

bring it in here?

well, a neighbor of mine

said that, uh,

lt might be part of one of them, you know,

flyin' saucers we've been hearin' about.

She said there's some newspaper

offerin' a $3,000 reward for a piece of it.

And to be honest with you,

i could use the money.

Hey, look at this.

whoa.

Yeah, l really like

that one.

- mind if we keep some of this stuff?

- l reckon not.

l can always get more.

You ought to see the damn place.

l'll meet you back at the base.

Yes, sir.

l gotta warn you,

it's quite a ways out there.

Turning out to be

a rather interesting day.

Now, where this thing landed

or crashed or whatever...

ls about ten miles south.

l reckon we'll stay here tonight.

Come on.

we're staying in here?

what? well, hell no!

That's the barn, man.

we're gonna stay

at the main house.

Come on.

This here's the biggest piece of it

i've found so far.

Hauled it out

with my truck.

it's as light as a feather.

Oh, my god.

This thing was big.

Anything?

uh-uh.

You know those japanese

balloon bombs?

Yeah.

Made of rice paper.

About 30 feet

in diameter.

They don't come apart when they land

unless the bomb goes off.

Then you'd see

char marks everywhere.
