So I think it was 2021 when I was shooting for the whatever umpteenth time.
And that's when we finished shooting for Moment of Contact, the first version of it.
It has been going on for 16, almost 17 years.
My God.
And the flight control officer, Marcos Ferres, F-E-R-E-S,
came forward on a podcast.
He was like, yeah.
And he's friends with this other flight control officer.
They were, they're friends.
And he said, yeah, this, you know, on or around the 20th of January, this USAF flight was coming in.
I was like, USAF?
United States Air Force, USAF.
Excuse me.
And, and he goes, it didn't have, all planes coming in from outside the country have to have government, Brazilian government authorization to land.
This plane didn't have that.
And he goes, I have to deny a plane without this authorization.
A high-level Brazilian military official came in the room and said, let the plane land.
And it landed at an airport in Campinas.
I have the name of the airport when we talk about the movie.
And either one helicopter or two helicopters came out of it.
