A scene from Plan 9 from Outer Space 1957
Paula

You seem to still be up there somewhere.

Jeff

Maybe I am.

Paula

I don't think I've ever seen you in this mood before.

Jeff

I guess it's because I've never been in this mood before.

Paula

Something about your flight?

Jeff

Yeah.

Paula

What happened, Jeff?

Jeff

I saw a flying saucer.

Paula

A saucer? You mean the kind from up there?

Jeff

Yeah, or its counterpart. I was shaped like a huge cigar. Dan saw it too. When it passed over, the whole compartment lighted up with a blinding glare. Then there was a tremendous wind that practically knocked us off our course.

Paula

Well did you report it?

Jeff

Yeah, radioed in immediately and they said well keep it quiet until you land. Then as soon as we landed, big army brass grabbed us and made us swear to secrecy about the whole thing. Oh, it burns me up. These things have been seen for years. They're here, it's a fact. And the public oughta know about it.

Paula

There must be something more you can do about it.

Jeff

Oh no there isn't. Oh, but what's the point of making a fuss. Last night I saw a flying object that couldn't possibly have been from this planet. But I can't say a word. I'm muzzled by army brass! I can't even admit I saw the thing!
