Captain Steven Hiller, United States Marine Corps. I'm sorry, Captain. This is a restricted area. I can't let you pass without clearance. OK. Come here. You want to see my clearance? Maybe I'll just leave this here with you. Let them pass. Let them pass. Get the hell out of the way. Did you see that? Come on down. Come on down.

Well, obviously, this cockpit was designed to seat three, though how they sat on that, I don't know. David: Gently. Uh, you see these gizmos flashing? Yeah. We've been working around the clock trying to get a fix on all this crap. Some stuff we figured out right away. Uh, this, we're pretty sure, is the life support system for the cabin. [Coughs] And, uh, this doohickey is connected to-- Oh...Well, it was connected to the engine. Here. Take that, will ya? Uh, these configurations, uh...

David, you unlocked part of that technology. You cracked the code. Oh, no, no. All I did was stumble onto their signal. I don't know how helpful I can be. Why don't you show them what you've discovered so far, figure out what they haven't thought of yet, and we'll see if you're as smart as we all hope you are.

Can they be killed? Their bodies are just as frail as ours. These two died in the crash. This one, a few weeks later. You just-- You have to get through their technology, which is, I'm sorry to say, far more advanced.

Dr. Okun: As you can see from the repairs, we've been trying to put her back together since the late 1960s. Don't tell me you've had this for 40 years, and you don't know anything about them? Oh, hell, no. No, no. We know tons about them. But the neatest stuff-- the neatest stuff has only happened in the last few days. See, we can't duplicate their type of power, so we've never been able to experiment. But since these guys started showing up, all the little gizmos inside turned on. The last 2 4 hours have been really exciting. Exciting? People are dying out there. I don't think " exciting" is the word I'd choose to describe it. You guys are hoping to fly this thing, huh? You said you can repair their technology. Can you tell us anything useful about them? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, they're not all that dissimilar from us. Breathes oxygen. Comparable tolerances to heat, cold. Probably why they're interested in our planet. Hey. Hey.

We have confirmed reports of combat-ready divisions in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. That's impressive, considering it's all being done with, uh... Morse code. Are our forces here? We have sufficient aircraft for the battle plan, but... But what, General? Pilots are coming up short. Well, then find 'em.

P.A.: What we're planning at this time is to launch a counteroffensive. However, with our depleted manpower, we're asking that anyone with any flight experience come forward. Military training is preferable, but anyone who can fly a plane would be useful. I can fly. I'm a pilot.
