They're here!
:05:17
They've landed! Over on the Mall!
They've landed!

- Get me the Chief of Staff.
- Thank you. Hold the line, please.
:06:07
Hello. I want to speak to the president.
:06:10
I'm sorry, but you'll have to interrupt him.
:06:13
Good afternoon. This is Drew Pearson.
:06:15
We bring you this special broadcast
:06:18
in order to give you the very latest
information on an amazing phenomenon:
:06:23
the arrival of a spaceship in Washington.
:06:26
Government and Defense Department
officials are concerned by reports of panic
:06:30
in several large eastern cities.
:06:32
I am authorised to assure you that, so far,
there is no reasonable cause for alarm.
:06:38
The rumours of invading armies
and mass destruction are based on hysteria
:06:43
and are absolutely false.
:06:45
I repeat, these rumours are absolutely false.
:06:49
The ship, designed for travel
outside the Earth's atmosphere,
:06:54
Landed in Washington today
at 3.47pm Eastern Standard Time.
:06:59
We still do not know where it came from.
