After text FADE OUT, FLYING SAUCER warps into space, trailing a rainbow, moves past camera
As camera follows SAUCER, the EARTH and the MOON come into view – SAUCER moving towards EARTH
2. CUT TO COCKPIT ON TOP ON SAUCER
Bizz, an ALIEN*, is walking to COCKPIT, takes drink of something boiling over it's cup – stops walking and burps, then scratches it's backside and continues walking. Sits down in cockpit chair next to Mufi, another ALIEN
BIZZ
says something in strange language – coughs up a hair ball – then continues in English: So what does the Galactopedia say what insignificant planet this is?
MUFI
Dirt, Mud, something like that – the primitive people – humans they call themselves - are paranoid pre-spaceflight industrialists – greedy and rude to each other. They just finished a major war that ended with their first atomics.
BIZZ
Ewwwww! Stupid primitives. Ok, let's buzz the natives and see what happens. He he he…
Evil Fanged Grin
MUFI
I don't think we'd want to get stuck down there. And you know what Dad is going to do if we get caught again.
Bizz starts adjusting the CONTROLS to descend to the planet.
MUFI
Hey! I'm not going near that planet!
Mufi struggles with Bizz to take over the CONTROLS
BIZZ
Buzz… the… Na… tives! Buzz… the… Na… tives! C'mon Sis – you know we're not going to get caught – this one is way out in the boonies. We're too far from the Core for the Patrol to find us. I mean…
Bizz accidentally spills his drink onto the COCKPIT CONTROLS
BIZZ
Uh, oh…
Sparks start flying all over
BIZZ AND MUFI
Look at each other – CONTROLS burst into flame
AHHHHHHHH!
Running around the cockpit – Bizz tried to blow fire out – alarm sounds – red flashing lights
CUT TO outside of SAUCER - smoke starts coming out of the COCKPIT area
Mufi hits a red ESCAPE button on the COCKPIT CONTROLS – it doesn't work
Bizz and Mufi look at each other again then run around the cockpit some more
CUT TO smoking SAUCER spiraling towards EARTH – the New Mexico desert
Bizz starts pounding on the ESCAPE button
CUT TO outside of SAUCER – section of COCKPIT blasts off of SAUCER
Smoking SAUCER spirals toward southwestern North America as COCKPIT section flies past camera
3. FADE TO NEWSPAPER CLIPPING:
ROSWELL DAILY RECORD FOR JULY 9, 1947
GENERAL RAMEY DEBUNKS ROSWELL FLYING DISK AS WEATHER BALLOON
Fort Worth, Texas, July 9 (AP) U.S. Army reports that mysterious objects found on a lonely New Mexico ranch was a harmless high-altitude weather balloon - not a grounded flying disk. Excitement was high until Brig. Gen. Roger M. Ramey, commander of the Eighth air forces with headquarters here tried to clear up the mystery. "The bundle of tinfoil and rubber remnants of a balloon were sent here yesterday by air transport in the wake of reports that it was a flying disk." The wreckage was found several days ago near the center of New Mexico by Rancher W. W. Brazel. He said he didn't think much about it until he went into Corona, N. M., last Saturday and heard the flying disk reports. He returned to his ranch, northwest of Roswell, and recovered the wreckage, which he had placed under some brush. Then Brazel hurried back to Roswell, where he reported his find to the sheriff's office. The sheriff called the Roswell air field and Maj. Jesse A. Marcel, 509th bomb group intelligence officer was assigned to the case and confiscated all of the wreckage. Col. William H. Blanchard, commanding officer of the bomb group, reported the find to General Ramey and the object was flown immediately to the army air field here. Ramey went on the air here last night to announce the New Mexico discovery was not a flying disk. In Roswell, the discovery set off a flurry of excitement. Sheriff George Wicox's telephone lines were jammed. Three calls came from England, one of them from The London Daily Mail, he said.
