A gripping, well-staged reconstruction of events that resulted in one of the most extraordinary incidents of alleged alien encounter. In 1947 unidentifiable debris and strangely shaped corpses turned up in New Mexico, where witnesses suspected an extra-terrestrial crash landing. Kyle MacLachlan gives one of his best performances (especially when the character ages) as the intelligence officer who first broke the story, then was made to look foolish when the authorities retracted their backing.
