with your host, Peter Graves.

Although no one has ever been able
to prove their existence...
:00:32
...a quasi-government agency,
the Men in Black...
:00:35
...supposedly carries out operations
here on Earth...
:00:39
...in order to keep us safe from aliens
throughout the galaxies.
:00:43
Here is one of their stories
that "never happened"...
:00:46
...from one of their files
that doesn't exist.
:00:51
1978. The leaders of Zartha
flee their planet...
:00:55
...in order to escape the clutches
of the evil Kylothian, Serleena.
:01:01
Arriving on Earth, the Zarthans bring
with them their greatest treasure:
:01:05
The Light of Zartha,
a cosmic force so powerful...
:01:09
...that in the wrong hands it could
lead to the annihilation of Zartha.
:01:14
The Zarthans' princess, Lauranna,
beseeched the Men in Black...
:01:17
...to hide the Light from Serleena.
:01:20
But they had no choice.
:01:22
Intervention would have meant
the destruction of the Earth.
:01:27
However, in an act of galactic bravery,
the Men in Black subdued Serleena...
:01:32
...allowing the Zarthans to escape...
:01:34
...so they might hide the Light
on another planet.
:01:39
Serleena, released from her captors,
vowed that the Light would be hers...
:01:43
...and that she would destroy
any planet that stood in her way.
:01:49
And so, never knowing what happened...
:01:52
...the people of Earth were saved
by a secret society of protectors...
:01:57
...known as the Men in Black.
