Storyline

A 12 year old boy goes missing in 1978, only to reappear once more in 1986. In the eight years that have passed, David hasn't aged. It is no coincidence that at the time David 'comes back', a flying saucer is found, entangled in electricity cables. Written by Rob Hartill

Goofs

Factual errors: When the official at NASA tells Faraday that the ship stopped 20 miles up, a shot of a tracking screen is shown. One detail says "Target Altitude 184800ft". 184,800 feet is 35 miles, not 20. See more »
