    Decent Episode About The Possibility of Alien Life
    This is really uneven. When a man is discovered dead by a trash can, he has radiation related cancers throughout his body. He is soon connected to the New Mexico stuff of the fifties where a space ship is thought to have crashed. Carter gets into it with the press because of his unstable rep and need to feed his ego. His thoughts are brought to the attention of the sheriff and he is fired as medical examiner. He also has fallen for a woman who has led research on UFO's. If this were a real court, he would have been reinstated in five minutes because of prejudice by his boss.
