PENNY DANIELS
(Female Anchorperson)
... a scientist who says he will no
longer hide the truth. Bob Lazar claims
our government captured alien spaceships
-- Ufos, and keeps them in a secret
warehouse. And that's not all. Bob says
Uncle Sam hired him to figure out how
they fly. If you're skeptical, you have
plenty of company. Lazar has been
questioned and criticized -- he even had
to take a lie detector test, and that's
when some people started believing him.
Dan Hausle (pronounced: HOW'S LEE) has
the INSIDE REPORT on the man who wants to
blow the lid off what could be the
greatest story never told, and the people
who seem to be trying to stop him.

We SEE home video footage of bobbing lights hovering and
weaving over the Las Vegas skyline. Space music warbles
loud, then fades as...

HAUSLE(V/O)
Strange lights over Las Vegas, within
view of tourists and gamblers along the
city's casino row. What are the odds
that these are alien spacecraft out for
an evening spin? Or would you bet they're
simply standard aircraft? Or worse yet,
some kind of hoax. Before you decide,
take a look at another shot on this home
video where one does appear to be an
aircraft, strays into view along with the
lights.

A slower moving light progresses in a straight line from
right to left across the screen while the moving points of
light continue to move erratically in the same pattern as
seen before.

HAUSLE(V/O)
Strange things like this have been
appearing over the Nevada desert for
years.

HAUSLE(V/O)
...so was its replacement, the high

Stealth aircraft, and Star Wars. But
there are some who believe these formerly
secret projects are nothing compared to
what's currently under wraps.

Reporter Dan Hausle is walking down a deserted stretch of
road.

HAUSLE
(He walks from left
to right closer and
closer into frame)
Not too many people live out here in the
remote sections of the Nevada Desert, far
from the lights of Las Vegas. But here,
on the edge of the secret U.S.
Government test facilities, people have
been seeing strange things for years.
Some of them talk about it, a lot of them

HAUSLE
But no one who has actually worked on the
test site has ever talked about what goes
on there. No one that is, until now.

LAZAR
They are actively, and have in their
possession, alien spacecraft and they are
actively undergoing analysis.

HAUSLE(O/S)
And flying them?

LAZAR
And flying them.

CUT TO:

INT. - LAZAR'S LIVING ROOM - TWO SHOT

Hausle and Lazar are sitting on a sofa with a coffee table in
front of them. A large, white in color, official looking
GOVERNMENT REPORT is centered on the table.

HAUSLE(V/O)
Bob Lazar is an engineer and physicist
who says he worked on flying saucers for
the U.S. Government at Area 51. He drew
these sketches...

INT. SITE 4 WAREHOUSE/HANGAR MOCK-UP

SUPER: "Videotape Courtesy: NIPPON TELEVISION"

INTERCUT through V/O showing video tape of "Sport Model"
mock-up, PAN right to "Top Hat" mock-up, PAN right to "Jello
Mold" mock- up.

The "Sport Model" saucer is silver in color, sleek,
symmetrical classic saucer shape with a tall and thin cone
shaped projection on the top center. The "Top Hat" saucer
appears to be a titanium white color and resembles a circular
shaped flat clothes pressing iron. Similar to the "Hangar
18" movie saucer, it has a flat- bottom base and a raised
platform style flat ridge around the circumference, like the
rim of a hat. In a triangle pattern around the platform's
upper surface are three projections sticking out. One
protrusion is a half-sphere shape, one is a half-barrel
shape, and another rectangular. In the center of these is
what looks like a half of a handle -- reminiscent of the
curved electrode on an automotive spark plug. The "Jello
Mold" craft looks just like its namesake. The metallic
exterior has slight blue tinge to it. It's taller than the
other craft and not as wide with adjacent rounded vertical
ridges surrounding a general cone-slice shape.

HAUSLE(V/O)
Lazar gave the saucers each names
according to their various shapes, "Top
Hat," the "Sport Model", the "Jello
Mold."

SFX: COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGE of "Sport Model" Flying Saucer

SFX: Animation of three Gravity Amplifiers emitting blue wave
forms downwardly. Amplifiers look like undulating elongated
track lights pointing straight down, sweeping right and left
in independent patterns of motion.

LAZAR(V/O)
They set up and produce their own
gravitational field. Just as the Earth
holds all matter down, they produce that
same field, but out of phase and it
repels itself.

LAZAR
The effects that can cause the way in

HAUSLE(V/O)
Terry Tabernetti is the ex-cop who
administered the test.

TABERNETTI
If he's lying, he ought to be in
Hollywood. Because he gave absolutely no
physiological indications of attempting
deception.

INT. LAZAR'S LABORATORY

Lazar picks up a glass lab item and places it on the desk
near some calibration equipment.

HAUSLE(V/O)
Lazar says he was referred to his
government job by Dr. Edward Teller, the
renowned scientist who helped develop the
atomic bomb.

8 CUT TO:

INT. EDWARD TELLER INTERVIEW ROOM

We SEE video of Teller talking, but Teller's actual words are
not heard. PULL BACK to SEE that Teller is seated, he
gestures with eyeglasses in hand as...

HAUSLE(V/O)
But in a rare interview with INDISE
REPORT, Teller insisted he doesn't know
Lazar, or at least, doesn't remember
him.

Cluttered desk; manual typewriter; and walls covered with
photos.

KNAPP
I think it appears that someone's trying
to wipe him out.

HAUSLE(V/O)
George Knapp is the Las Vegas TV reporter
who first aired Bob Lazar's amazing
claims. He says he ran into unusual
problems just trying to look into Lazar's
background.

HAUSLE(V/O)
Though Lazar claimed to have once worked
at the Los Alamos National Laboratory,
government officials denied they knew
anything about him.

EXTREME CLOSE UP - PAGE IN LOS ALAMOS PHONE DIRECTORY

"LAZAR ROBERT" listed in alphabetical order on printed phone
listing - We SEE (SFX) Bright white outline around LAZAR
ROBERT. The rest of the page is subdued in gray tones.

HAUSLE(V/O)
But when Knapp came up with a phone
directory listing Lazar's name, Los
Alamos grudgingly admitted he had spent
some time there.

CUT TO:

INT. LAZAR'S LIVING ROOM - TWO SHOT

HAUSLE(V/O)
Officials at the hospital where Lazar was
born even denied the simple fact that he
was born there, until Knapp tracked down
the doctor who delivered Lazar.

CUT TO:

INT. KNAPP'S OFFICE

KNAPP
I find Bob to be credible and the main
reason is because the story hasn't
changed. It's stayed from the beginning;
it's been the same. It hasn't expanded
like some of these UFO tales you hear;
it's been the same. And we've been
through a lot of different interview
sessions, many on camera, many more off
camera, and it's stayed exactly the same;
consistent.

Lazar is pointing to a chart on chalkboard with a chalk

HAUSLE(V/O)

Bob Lazar's claims.

CUT TO:

INT. - FRIEDMAN INTERVIEW ROOM

Friedman is seated. INTERCUT with shots of Lazar working in
lab setting.

HAUSLE(V/O)
Nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman says
Lazar may indeed be the real thing. But
he says he can also believe Lazar might
be a hoaxter -- or worse yet, a
government agent spreading false stories
designed to cover more important
secrets.

FRIEDMAN
I find Bob Lazar as somebody who isn't
silly, who doesn't say totally stupid
things. He comes across well. But I
certainly -- until I get verification
cannot endorse the legitimacy of what he
is saying.

11 CUT TO:

INT. LAZAR'S LIVING ROOM - TWO SHOT

HAUSLE(V/O)
Bob Lazar says he quit his job working on
the government saucers when his bosses
began harassing him, because he was
letting others in on the big secret.

We SEE a top view, a side view, a cut-away of saucer
interior, then a transparent mock-up showing layout of saucer
interior, configuration of waveguide, anti-matter reactor,
and gravity amplifiers relative to overall view of saucer.
Multiple DISSOLVES to mock-up of gravity drive system only;
mock-up tilts up to give top view, then angled view to show
relief.

HAUSLE(V/O)
But now that others are greeting his
claims with skepticism and outright
hostility, he says he wishes he'd just
kept his big mouth shut. Lazar says he
never took the idea of breaking security
lightly. He just wanted to let the world
in on a story he says we all should have
been told.

CUT TO:

EXT. LAS VEGAS SKYLINE - EARLY EVENING

Home video of moving lights in Las Vegas sky - as seen in
opening.

LAZAR(V/O)
Why keep a secret about probably one of
the most important events in history that
there's been contact from an alien
civilization? It's a significant event in
history. More significant than
anything.
