A doctor friend told him about a woman who came into the hospital with horrible injuries, claiming to have been burned by a UFO.

They wanted John to investigate, but told him they couldn't ethically pass along the woman's name.

John only puts the pieces together that it was Betty, the woman who left him a voicemail, after a reporter friend pushes him to investigate her case.

He drives to visit Betty in Houston on February 22nd, and she is an open book.

She answers all of John's questions about that night, about her symptoms, her medical history, the medicine she's been taking.

He photographs her injuries and asks her to keep a running diary of her symptoms moving forward.

To him, she seems like a credible witness.

John interviews Vicki and Colby as well, takes pictures of their injuries, hears their perspectives, and he has Colby draw pictures of the helicopters from that night.

To John, Colby's fear feels real, palpable, not the kind of thing a seven-year-old can fake.

He walks away believing that Betty, Vicky, and Colby are all genuinely convinced of what they think they saw that night.

And something clearly happened.

The physical side effects don't lie.

John doesn't know what it was exactly, but he does have a theory that might solve one piece of the puzzle.

To him, their symptoms look a lot like a case of radiation poisoning.

John reaches out to a radiation specialist who agrees with his theory.

There's no guarantee that's what it is for sure, but at the same time, nothing else seems to fit.

Meanwhile, John continues his investigation, and it's both promising and very frustrating.

Promising is the fact that Betty, Vicki, and Colby's stories remain consistent, even under hypnosis, and the fact that John is able to track down seven other witnesses who also saw a fleet of helicopters in a strange, blinding light in the sky that night.

Frustrating is the fact that no one will claim the helicopters.

The most logical explanation is they belong to the military.
