Quotes2

  • Townsend: Another alien visitor claimed that his race had been looking in on us for centuries, and that they had in fact influenced the course of human history in some rather critical and starling ways. This visitor somehow displayed the way aliens had been genetically altering the development of our DNA from our very beginnings, and that they had inspired our greatest spiritual leaders.
  • Jesse Marcel: You're telling me that the missing link could be the result of alien genetics?
  • Townsend: I believe this information is correct, but who can really say for certain?
  • Jesse Marcel: Over the years there must be people like me, people who wanted to talk about what they know.
  • Townsend: I'm sure that there were some, but then it's all so hard to believe isn't it? I think that Secretary Forrestal
  • [former Secretary of Defense]
  • Townsend: tried, or may have, I'm not sure. While he was at Bethesda, he was working on a diary that was to contain an account of his experiences with alien life forms, and proof that the government was trying to keep all this information covered up. Apparently he had checked into the hospital for over exhaustion and stress. I'm sure that you personally can sympathize with how difficult it would have been with him to reveal all these secrets.
  • [Forrestal shown dead, laying face down outside his psychiatric hospital window]
  • Townsend: If Secretary Forrestal left any kind of note, it was never found, and his diaries are still classified. Since then things have gotten even more bizarre - planes vanishing, cattle mutilations, human abductions. Then there are the stories of Area 51.
  • Jesse Marcel: What is Area 51?
  • Townsend: That's where people swear they have actually seen recovered alien craft that we're working with right now.
  • [c1977]
  • Jesse Marcel: Is this all true?
  • Townsend: Well that's a good question. One must proceed cautiously here...
