her hand to her
mouth.
    WOMAN (CONT’D)
Came out this mornin’ and
that’s...that’s what I found.
    The students look around the area, seeing that it’s enclosed
with high, tight knit metal fencing, with no open gates.
Chaz moves closer and films the three dead goats, focusing on
the bloody remains.
    WOMAN (CONT’D)
Lived here for almost fifty years.
Seen their damn spaceships flying
overhead, but figured they were
just passing through, like people.
Heard stories about cattle being
cut up, mutilated, but...never
figured they, they’d touch my poor
goats.
Woman turns around and walks inside her house, as Chaz and
Anthony move closer, looking at the dead goats.
    ANTHONY
Look at the cut marks. It’s like
whatever was used, not only cut the
goats open, but cauterized the
wound at the same time.
    YASMINE
The sheriff was probably right.
Just coyotes.
    CHAZ
Coyotes wouldn’t have been able to
get through that fence.
Chaz films the fence, showing the tight metal weave and the
height. He then focuses back on the dead goats.
    CHAZ (CONT’D)
And, they would have taken pieces
of meat.
ANTHONY
And, there would be bite marks.
Anthony looks closer at the goats’ throats.
    ANTHONY (CONT’D)
And, a coyote probably would have
went for the throat, but...
Anthony takes a closer look.
    ANTHONY (CONT’D)
I don’t see any marks around the
their throats. Probably cut the
goats open, while they were still
alive. The goats then died from
blood loss.
Anthony slowly PANS from goat to goat, seeing the horrific
scene.
ANTHONY (CONT’D)
What a way to go.
    Christina suddenly appears in the screen of a camera, as she
puts on some rubber gloves, reaches into a pocket and pulls
out a small baggy, along with some large tweezers.
    Christina bends down over one goat and takes a sample of some
tissues from around one of the cut marks, carefully placing
it into the baggy.
    Christina moves to another goat and does the same thing,
while everyone just watches her with amazement. Christina
moves to the third goat and does the same thing. She then
straightens up and sees that everyone is looking at her. She
sees puzzlement in their faces.
CHRISTINA
What?
They looks down at the baggies and Christina’s rubber gloves.
Christina follows their look and then looks back up at them.
    CHRISTINA (CONT’D)
I was a Criminal Justice
major...For a semester. I have a
friend, who works in a lab.

    CHRISTINA (CONT’D)
I’ll have him check these samples
for D-N-A, see if it came from
animals or...
GINA
Aliens?
Gina slowly gets the point and then becomes excited.
    GINA (CONT’D)
We’ll have proof. Scientific
proof.
YASMINE
(unconvinced)
I’m betting it was coyotes.
    GINA
Let’s go back into town and see if
we can find any other WITNESSES.
The students aren’t too excited and Gina notices they’re lack
of enthusiasm.
    GINA (CONT’D)
We can’t just stop with one
witness, with one...
Gina looks at the goats.
    GINA (CONT’D)
Incident of...of Alien
visitation...mutation. We need
more.
MONTAGE: BEGINS
EXT. TOWN - DAY
The students interview several PEOPLE. Some are obviously
crazy and others appear to be ordinary people.
Occasionally, the students will pose with the PEOPLE, with
photographs being taken.
As the sun starts to set, they run out of PEOPLE to
interview, with the lights of the town starting to FLICKER.
    MONTAGE: ENDS
EXT. TOWN - DUSK
The students are loading the equipment into the CAR, as the
sun starts to drop behind the horizon, with Chaz filming.
    GINA
All those interviews and no one
else has witnessed a mutilation.
    YASMINE
If you would just listen to me...It
was coyotes.
Yasmine wipes her brow.
    YASMINE (CONT’D)
I can’t wait to get back to Vegas.
Take a nice hot shower, a cup of
hot cocoa, then to bed.
    CHAZ
(moving closer to Yasmine)
Sounds good to me. Although, I
think a nice soak in a bathtub,
with a little wine, would be more
romantic, but hey, whatever you
want.
    GINA
I think we
