We have a situation developing

Now the Navy's acting

Operation Mainbrace is gonna be

the largest
joint military exercise

since World w*r I.

Nine countries, 200 ships,



All the more reason

that I should be fully informed,

but I'm not.

Senator?

- I want you to investigate
this sighting

as a UFO occurrence.

I've already arranged

to have you both flown out
to the ship,

assuming, of course,
that you're up for this.

- Well, we'd need to inform
the generals first.

- Don't worry about them.
I can take care of that.

you find out there.
