Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Harry Forbes, the Air Force puts out a news story blaming Bancroft and Price for the death of their colleague and for the destruction of a satellite. The men know they can prove otherwise by viewing the telemetry tapes which recorded the UFO, but when they see them, all evidence of the object has been erased. Through a friend who works at a remote tracking station, Bancroft and Price are able to see the real telemetry and discover where the alien craft landed. They set out to prove a cover-up and clear their names.
