William Fairchild : Now, you saw these things with your own eyes?
Captain Michael Quinn : Yes, sir.
William Fairchild : And?
Captain Michael Quinn : I-I-I don't - I don't really know how to describe it. I never seen anything like it before.
William Fairchild : Are you speaking as a pilot now or as member of Project Blue Book, Captain?
Captain Michael Quinn : Both.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek : What does this room think?
General James Harding : That's a matter of national security, which doesn't concern you.
General Hugh Valentine : What's more important is what the public thinks. We can't have a national panic on our hands.
Captain Michael Quinn : What do you need us to do?
General Hugh Valentine : What you've always done. I want you to find a rational scientific explanation as to what's occurred, then move it off the front page.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek : You mean lie. We saw it with our own eyes. Those things were not planes.
General James Harding : How would you know what types of planes the Russians have or don't have?
Dr. J. Allen Hynek : The Russians have nothing to do with this. Am I right?
William Fairchild : What's right is what works right now. Press has been waiting. Get out there and give them something to chew on.
Captain Michael Quinn : Yes, sir.
William Fairchild : [to Valentine and Harding] As for you two, I'm gonna need real answers. Truman won't go to war on a gut feeling.

Dr. J. Allen Hynek : The secretary is dead?
General Hugh Valentine : Official story is engine fire.
Captain Michael Quinn : Official story?
General James Harding : It was a Russian hit. It's bad enough they fly by our capital, this is an act or war carried out on our sovereign territory.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek : Are you saying that you have definitive proof of that?
General James Harding : You know, Professor, I have been more than patient with your bullshit. But why don't you ask Captain Quinn what happens to soldiers when you disobey orders during wartime?
Dr. J. Allen Hynek : I apologize, General. I hadn't realized we were at war or that you were giving orders. In either case, I'm not a soldier.
General Hugh Valentine : You two said you needed to see us. You said it was urgent. Now, why are you here?
