:31:03
But suppose
that unidentified flying object...
:31:08
was one oftheir 50-megaton missiles
that had gotten loose by mistake.
:31:12
What could be done? How could they
prove it was really an accident?
:31:15
Would it make any difference
ifthey could?
:31:17
Even ifwe believe them, should we
still think oflimiting our response...
:31:21
or should we hit them back
with everything we have?
:31:26
It's gone, General.
What happened to it?
:31:28
Colonel Cascio,
let's go to Condition Yellow.
:31:33
It's dropped below the level
in which our radar can pick it up.
:31:36
You went to the next state
ofreadiness.
:31:38
That's standard operating procedure.
:31:40
It could be a commercial plane
about to crash.
:31:42
Or an enemy plane
taking evasive action.
:31:45
Naturally, we prepare for the worst.
:31:47
Twominutes to fail-safe.
:31:54
What are those planes
following the bomber, General?
:31:56
Fighter support.
Part ofCondition Yellow.
:31:59
From now on, they'll follow
the bombers as far as they go.
:32:02
- What comes after Condition Yellow?
- Green.
:32:05
- And then?
- Red.
:32:07
But we've never gone to red yet.
:32:09
Red means war, doesn't it?
:32:29
- Not an air breather?
- What does that mean?
:32:32
Jet planes suck air
through their engines.
:32:34
Ourwarning system can pick up
the turbulence this creates.
:32:37
Ifa commercial plane lost power,
no turbulence would be created.
:32:40
It could be a rocket.
:32:42
Offcourse?
:32:45
Maybe on.
:32:47
Oneminute to fail-safe.
:32:49
It could be a Russian rocket coming in
low where our radar can't pick it up.
:32:53
- Could it be that?
- It could be anything.
:32:55
- How doyou find out?
- Our fighters are tracking it.
:32:58
Can't wait too long.
