I need an explanation! Ok, so she tries to lure a UFO (probably aliens) with a nuclear drone into the radius of an EMP blast in order to knock it down. However, the UFO takes control over the comms, acts as her commanding officer and tells her to fly to the military base and to not turn on the EMP. She follows her orders not knowing she is talking to an immitation of her CO. She is then told to "crash?" into the base (so everything there goes nuclear), but at the last second she decides to not follow the order, tries to fly away but loses control (she also spots another flying object on her radar). Everything goes black, the drone crashed into the woods (but did not explode), suddenly the real CO breakes into the bunker and tells her everything is ok but that the voice she was talking to was not him.... Ok so until that point I kinda understand but what happens after just confuses me. What was the last thing the saw on the radar? Was it the civilian helicopter? If it was then why did it speak english and who's voice was it at the end? Why did everthing go black when she lost control of the drone? Did the EMP go off? Did the UFO crash? Was that it's plan? why? Could it be that the REAL CO told her to crash in order to stop the alien from taking over the world?
Not too sure about why everything went black (very curious) but I don't think the EMP ever went off b/c we never heard the order nor see her press the button she was ready to press earlier. Then the officer tells his superior (not sure ranks/rank names) there was a civilian helicopter that took off + crashed and later confirmed that there were no survivors. The voice we hear is meant to be one of the occupants of the helicopter broadcasting on (I assume) all channels, saying that she survived that crash and needed help. (Ofcourse we know by that point that it's the alians luring people in) and the last thing we hear is that someone answered her /it's call. Please make a movie
Ok so I think I figured it out. The original UFO crashed and the commander at the end says "it was always one step ahead" and implies the aliens were up to something. I interpret this to mean this UFO was meant to counter lour the humans for nefarious reasons. At the end, that is the intentionally crashed UFO speaking to the helicopter pilot that wandered into the area, and the UFO or aliens are up to no good.

One of my all-time favorite omelette films. There's no jump-scares, but I love the creepy overtone. Also the people who wrote and produced this short film, I can tell care a lot about the details. It's brilliant.
I actually was in Syktyvkar few times because lived Komi region for 20 years, and nature in film is very similar to original. I'm impressed with quality of details and clear Russian language of actors. Please continue the series.
Без акцента только девка и парень. Остальные с пиздец акцентом. Что ты несёшь то?! Какое ещё качество? Или ты поддельный русский для набива хвалебных коментов?
Maybe the voice telling her to crash was the real Major. The aliens came into the base and took the form of her officer. The alien is now in the base. The real Major, tried to get her to bomb the base with the drone to kill the aliens who had landed there. Why would the alien craft crash if she didn't activate the EMP? Her Major saw what was happening. It was too late to do the EMP. He decided to crash the drone into the base to kill the aliens. The helicopter crash was a coincidence and in the end when you hear the base reply to Danny in the helicopter, it is the aliens who have now taken over the base. Their reply to the helicopter sets the scene for a follow-up movie. - Just a thought.
this is the most likely explanation but there is 0 evidence to support it. Feels like there was a lot cut out of this short, it just seems really incomplete and trying to be too mysterious.
The voice telling her to crash was undoubtedly the alien. Russian speakers elsewhere in these comments have noted that the choice of words the alien uses in particular, beyond breaking from professional vocabulary, is particularly personal and emotional, in a way that her superior would not speak even in such an emergency. Plus, the voice brings up her family right after she glances at the photo of them (which was, before this point, not important and not shown), heavily hinting at some supernatural element to the voice. In any case we can probably take the conclusion of this film at face value because the feature film focuses on Danny and not the Russians Nonetheless the fact that we can speculate such just goes to show how great this short is
@@LouSaydus the short is meant to introduce a larger feature film they are trying to get funding for, so that's why the short feels incomplete and ambiguous
I did some digging, and found several Variety articles discussing the awards this short or longer version is up for. I think that the helicopter portion of this short got added is a preview for something else. The articles say that "The Occupant" is a story of a female geologist who's helicopter crashes in the wild and discovers she is not alone. No mention of this short. Google the writers name and you can read the articles for yourself. This was a fantastic little gem and would like to see more of it without meddling by any big studios. The will only screw up this wonderful piece .
Ohhhh wow it makes so much more sense now. This short was written backwards. They started with the ending already set in stone - a helicopter crash in proximity of aliens (the setup for the longer feature you mentioned) - then tried to explain how that could have happened. But they wrote themselves into a corner, because presumably the military doesn't show up immediately at the start of the longer feature. So the characters in this short CAN'T actually make the final plot connection. Hence their inexplicable confusion about the helicopter and vague mention of the aliens being "two steps ahead".
They have a kickstarter page for their movie, and they explained that they made the short movie as a way to introduce and pitch the full movie concept (as described on IMDb) to investors. It does look really good
There's a full-length movie in development by HAA! Films called "The Occupant", which revolves around the character Danny at the end of this short film. This is only just the prologue.
@@yokehuatgoh Subtitles are not so complex as the speech. You're seeing "EMP started" when she says "i am starting to execute the EMP protocol" or "Sir" when she says "comrade Major". She approves whom she is talking to every time, instead of just saying "sir", as it's always done in russian army. Maybe the style of subtitles is closer to european minds, but surely is not so atmospheric as the speech
I think the first person was the human that actually was looking for help. The second voice was the "helpful" alien, that then killed the human, hence the explosion. But it could be the other way around.
I, too, think it was quite hard to understand, but am wondering if they didn't really crash the UFO, but rather crashed that helicopter by mistake. Then, the alien UFO was approaching the survivor of the helicopter and talking to her in the same way it had talked to the first woman. I wonder if this story is really just a scene from a much larger story or potential movie.
@Vilius Grigolius The beginning said it was secret military coalition so maybe that meant a coalition of many countries. So, maybe British were stationed there as well. She sounded British to me. I don't know though.
Yes, if only we could have seen anything interesting. Anything interesting at all. That would have been interesting! Fortunately we got a lot of ominous music instead. The music was very ominous, so you knew that the situation was tense. The music was ominous. Very exciting. A strong substitute for plot. The music was ominous.

@@KutWrite In almost any field, sports, music, art, etc.. the word underrated has been thrown a lot, at least that's what I see here on youtube. And most comments that states "this xxxxxx is underrated" somehow get many likes. I don't know if there's any connection. For example in football, one guy typed Thierry Henry is underrated, like wtf... Or a once famous TV show (its final season was more than a decade ago) that won multiple Emmy is also called underrated.
This is fantastic! It was so exciting that I had to watch it twice. I'd love to see a full length feature or series in this story arc. More from these filmmakers and actors, please!
Maya is native Russian but she speaks with a slight accent or certain awkwardness like my daughter who grew up outside Russia. It doesn’t matter, though. Great episode!
Hah... I was about to say she had no accent whatsoever, but, I lived out of Russia for many years... I guess I can't hear (her) light accent any more. Wow.
Reminds me of the Outer limits episode where the last remaining nuclear bunker during an alien invasion was been operated by a soldier with video and audio links to other missile sites. Every link began to be disconnected over the course of the episode and this is when the soldier began to grow more and more paranoid. The last remaining audio link was with his general in white house where he told the soldier that the aliens had been defeated and to deactivate the site and let the army inside. he had to make a decision, either let off all the bombs and destroy the aliens and give humanity a tiny chance or open the silo up to what could be aliens impersonating humans.
That must have really been science fiction, trying to destroy aliens (and everything else) who have mastered interstellar travel with something as primitive and crude as nuclear weapons.
@@maxpowerdup Well, in this case they knew what the drone could be used for and they tried to make the sergeant blow up the headquarters with it, so I guess they are no stranger to weapons of mass destruction. In this case that is, otherwise it could very well be possible that they themselves are a peaceful species and never before encountered a hostile species like us... It would actually be interesting to watch a movie about a visiting, technologically advanced alien species, which at the same time is peaceful and thus defenceless. What would mankind do?
@@vladdracul5072 Nukes might not kill them, but it sure as hell would make the impacted area a lot more unusable unless they like radioactive stuff. As for visiting aliens... sad to say, humans would probably try to kill some of them to get their technology. But if instead they've been shown that their technology can be used to kill lots of humans, then some nations will demand they get ahold of them, either because they're afraid of it and want it, or because they want it to defeat other nations. But sufficient to say, if there's visiting aliens of some sort ,then there'll always be someone trying to get their tech.
This short film I already saw 30 times "excellent", someone in the film Industry invite this young girl an offer a role in a long movie. She is so natural!

It's a bit silly that they communicate over radio vs an alien invader that has crossed the universe to get here. I loved it still. It could be encrypted of course, but our encryption could be like a zip-file to them. The concept is also similar to stuff in the Sci-fi movie Oblivion.
@@snoozieboi reality is a form of metacryptographic hardware and quantum field theories are a type of software. One trillion petabytes to one being could be one byte to another...
okay let me break it down for you -drone operator finds ufo -attempts to bring it down, but ufo hacks communications -ufo orders operator to crash her drone into a military base -actual commander knocks on door to reveal it was the aliens all along -helicopter and UFO crash somewhere -Aliens impersonate a survivor
@@meeshermans297 ok then, watching again, knowing what you just said, it not only made sense, but also made the film a bit better as well. Gave me the right emotion and confusion to look for in the actors. These actors are pretty decent, it's a good film. Thanks for the input, it was pretty spot on.
Just like my Job; Boss to Me "Do as I say." Me to Boss "I wouldn't do it that way, their going to be severe problems." Boss "Don't worry, do as I say it their will be problems, as your refusal to do your job." Me "Okay, your the Boss." ...Total Failure...Thousands of dollars scrapped... My Boss to His Boss and Human Resources "He is the Operator, He should know better. He is incompetent, let's demote him. "
When a superior officer gives an absurd order you disobey. Your superior has bern compromised. Your communication channel has been compromised or you are hallucinating.
It's a Russian diminutive (cute-ified) name, it's how you would talk to a child or maybe your girlfriend or something (I'm not native russian so i don't know 100%). Either way, very creepy to suddenly hear from your commanding officer in such a situation, which is why it works so well here
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, you operate in pairs :) Also, what's up with the girl calling her CO "comrade"? Judging by the flag on her arm, this is post-USSR, makes no sense. Still, nice production values.
so that seargent that walked in & told her thank god youre alright then he said that wasnt me you were talking to ..... Perfect alibi for him if it Had been him she was talking to.
Ok... This is NOT fair! Really not fair. I'm so into this story and it ends. If this was a trailer for a movie, I would already be getting tickets! You can't do this to us! Lol. We want more. What happens next? Make this into a full movie. It's better than anything Hollywood has put out in a long time. Keep the actors that are in this short film. They are awesome. Keep it just as it is but make it a two and a half hour long movie. You will make tons of rubels... Urrrr dollars! Lol. Awesome job!
This was so gripping, I didn't even notice the score until I replayed the film to listen for it. I'm looking forward very much to the continuation. A fantastic piece of work.
Well done! I love the twists in the Plot . . . it keeps everyone guessing, all the way up to the end; and beyond! This would be one that merits a "Part 2".
This is a good movie and sticks closely to UFO lore. The Russians had a history of more aggressive alien encounters with lots of casualties. So the ambush using a nuclear source is credible. Also the attempt to influence the operator with mind control. Similar actions had been reported, Great writing, good research, and solid acting. For those confused at the end. I think it was a rescue mission.
That`s not too bad. I have been studying Russian for 7 years now( about 10 000 hours) and I still couldn`t understand everything. But it`s true I wasn`t studying it seriously for a long time, so you`ll probably do better.
Plot twist : The Officer she was talking to before the blackout was actually her real officer and wanted her to crush the nuclear drone into the base that had been already captured by aliens, and the guy she sees after she wakes is an alien who transformed into her superior.
a Bit of confusion is a great plot device to create suspense. Too much confusion however, just leads to nobody having a clue what it was all about. This movie did just that. It's about as confusing as the difference between a canary. Which leaves one wondering what the point of it all was. Maybe we find a resolution in part 2?

Can someone explain to me, what the helicopter had to do with all of this? All I can think of right now is that the helicopter crashed and the ailiens contacted it or that the helicopter was crashed by the ailiens but what does that have to do with the base?

@@PlexHvH i believe the reason is some phrases sounds like literally translated and sometimes have unnatural order and weird combinations of words. So it seems like russian actors reading text written by not russian author
One of my all-time favorite omelette films. There's no jump-scares, but I love the creepy overtone. Also the people who wrote and produced this short film, I can tell care a lot about the details. It's brilliant.
Name movie ?
Весьма захватывающе и интригующе!
Спасибо, что взяли актёров без акцента и хорошо поработали над армейским языком, на это приятно смотреть.
I actually was in Syktyvkar few times because lived Komi region for 20 years, and nature in film is very similar to original. I'm impressed with quality of details and clear Russian language of actors. Please continue the series.
I tried to read "Syktyvkar" for like ten times, then gave up and read the rest of your sentence :)

can this become a movie, god damn this story line would be godly.
This is actually a prologue to a full feature film the director is making!
@@endo7856 Omg, what will the movie be called! :D edit: How can I found out more!?
I got goosebumps
@@PlexHvH "The Occupant" I think.
XCOM activate!
Maybe the voice telling her to crash was the real Major. The aliens came into the base and took the form of her officer. The alien is now in the base. The real Major, tried to get her to bomb the base with the drone to kill the aliens who had landed there. Why would the alien craft crash if she didn't activate the EMP? Her Major saw what was happening. It was too late to do the EMP. He decided to crash the drone into the base to kill the aliens. The helicopter crash was a coincidence and in the end when you hear the base reply to Danny in the helicopter, it is the aliens who have now taken over the base. Their reply to the helicopter sets the scene for a follow-up movie. - Just a thought.
I think that might be the point you can see even after the blackout she seems somewhat skeptical I always love films that make you question reality
Nope, because then he would've told her that they're inside the base if his intention was to kill the ayylmaos and not that they've 'evacuated' it.
this is the most likely explanation but there is 0 evidence to support it. Feels like there was a lot cut out of this short, it just seems really incomplete and trying to be too mysterious.
The voice telling her to crash was undoubtedly the alien. Russian speakers elsewhere in these comments have noted that the choice of words the alien uses in particular, beyond breaking from professional vocabulary, is particularly personal and emotional, in a way that her superior would not speak even in such an emergency. Plus, the voice brings up her family right after she glances at the photo of them (which was, before this point, not important and not shown), heavily hinting at some supernatural element to the voice.
In any case we can probably take the conclusion of this film at face value because the feature film focuses on Danny and not the Russians
Nonetheless the fact that we can speculate such just goes to show how great this short is
@@LouSaydus the short is meant to introduce a larger feature film they are trying to get funding for, so that's why the short feels incomplete and ambiguous
I did some digging, and found several Variety articles discussing the awards this short or longer version is up for. I think that the helicopter portion of this short got added is a preview for something else. The articles say that "The Occupant" is a story of a female geologist who's helicopter crashes in the wild and discovers she is not alone. No mention of this short. Google the writers name and you can read the articles for yourself. This was a fantastic little gem and would like to see more of it without meddling by any big studios. The will only screw up this wonderful piece .
How do I find the full version???
Ohhhh wow it makes so much more sense now. This short was written backwards. They started with the ending already set in stone - a helicopter crash in proximity of aliens (the setup for the longer feature you mentioned) - then tried to explain how that could have happened. But they wrote themselves into a corner, because presumably the military doesn't show up immediately at the start of the longer feature. So the characters in this short CAN'T actually make the final plot connection. Hence their inexplicable confusion about the helicopter and vague mention of the aliens being "two steps ahead".
please post a link
They have a kickstarter page for their movie, and they explained that they made the short movie as a way to introduce and pitch the full movie concept (as described on IMDb) to investors. It does look really good
This is why i hate watching omeleto this whole thing could be an succesfull movie
There's a full-length movie in development by HAA! Films called "The Occupant", which revolves around the character Danny at the end of this short film. This is only just the prologue.

@@yokehuatgoh Subtitles are not so complex as the speech. You're seeing "EMP started" when she says "i am starting to execute the EMP protocol" or "Sir" when she says "comrade Major". She approves whom she is talking to every time, instead of just saying "sir", as it's always done in russian army. Maybe the style of subtitles is closer to european minds, but surely is not so atmospheric as the speech
@@MrLobsterity This is so strange for any russian military equipment to see strings like "check on" there should be "проверка" and so on.

I have zero clue what happened in the film. Do you?
0:10 That is the most realistic and depressing snow I have ever seen in short films.
Hey Lenon
How are you keeping,
Where are you from??
So is everyone just ignoring the fact that the ending was incomprehensible?
@Vilius Grigolius Right, I get that. But what was all that nonsense about the civilian aircraft?
I think the aliens were talking to each other, and trying to lure the drone to their crash.
I think the first person was the human that actually was looking for help. The second voice was the "helpful" alien, that then killed the human, hence the explosion. But it could be the other way around.
I, too, think it was quite hard to understand, but am wondering if they didn't really crash the UFO, but rather crashed that helicopter by mistake. Then, the alien UFO was approaching the survivor of the helicopter and talking to her in the same way it had talked to the first woman. I wonder if this story is really just a scene from a much larger story or potential movie.
@Vilius Grigolius The beginning said it was secret military coalition so maybe that meant a coalition of many countries. So, maybe British were stationed there as well. She sounded British to me. I don't know though.
How intriguing, I wanted to see the alien aircraft and the aliens. Make this a two hour movie.👽👍
Yes, if only we could have seen anything interesting. Anything interesting at all. That would have been interesting!
Fortunately we got a lot of ominous music instead. The music was very ominous, so you knew that the situation was tense. The music was ominous. Very exciting. A strong substitute for plot.

@@KutWrite In almost any field, sports, music, art, etc.. the word underrated has been thrown a lot, at least that's what I see here on youtube. And most comments that states "this xxxxxx is underrated" somehow get many likes. I don't know if there's any connection.
For example in football, one guy typed Thierry Henry is underrated, like wtf... Or a once famous TV show (its final season was more than a decade ago) that won multiple Emmy is also called underrated.
You're in for a treat. You're going to have fun for months watching all of these.
This is fantastic! It was so exciting that I had to watch it twice. I'd love to see a full length feature or series in this story arc. More from these filmmakers and actors, please!
Maya is native Russian but she speaks with a slight accent or certain awkwardness like my daughter who grew up outside Russia. It doesn’t matter, though. Great episode!
Yeah noticed that too, indeed
Hah... I was about to say she had no accent whatsoever, but, I lived out of Russia for many years... I guess I can't hear (her) light accent any more. Wow.
My nephew does the same with our native language, some times is very funny.
Reminds me of the Outer limits episode where the last remaining nuclear bunker during an alien invasion was been operated by a soldier with video and audio links to other missile sites. Every link began to be disconnected over the course of the episode and this is when the soldier began to grow more and more paranoid. The last remaining audio link was with his general in white house where he told the soldier that the aliens had been defeated and to deactivate the site and let the army inside. he had to make a decision, either let off all the bombs and destroy the aliens and give humanity a tiny chance or open the silo up to what could be aliens impersonating humans.
That must have really been science fiction, trying to destroy aliens (and everything else) who have mastered interstellar travel with something as primitive and crude as nuclear weapons.
@@vladdracul5072 What if the Aliens never had the idea to create weapons that would be able to wipe a civilization of a planet?
@@maxpowerdup Well, in this case they knew what the drone could be used for and they tried to make the sergeant blow up the headquarters with it, so I guess they are no stranger to weapons of mass destruction. In this case that is, otherwise it could very well be possible that they themselves are a peaceful species and never before encountered a hostile species like us...
It would actually be interesting to watch a movie about a visiting, technologically advanced alien species, which at the same time is peaceful and thus defenceless. What would mankind do?
@@vladdracul5072 Nukes might not kill them, but it sure as hell would make the impacted area a lot more unusable unless they like radioactive stuff.
As for visiting aliens... sad to say, humans would probably try to kill some of them to get their technology. But if instead they've been shown that their technology can be used to kill lots of humans, then some nations will demand they get ahold of them, either because they're afraid of it and want it, or because they want it to defeat other nations.
But sufficient to say, if there's visiting aliens of some sort ,then there'll always be someone trying to get their tech.
@@vladdracul5072 You are correct in this one. I thought more of aliens in general.

The cool thing about these polished short films is that it's still able to give you answers in just a short period of screen time but after giving those answers, you're also left with new questions
Spectacular!
There is a lot of material on drones in order to make many movies.
So the UFO imitated human voice to confuse the drone operator?
Thats frighting.
It's a bit silly that they communicate over radio vs an alien invader that has crossed the universe to get here. I loved it still. It could be encrypted of course, but our encryption could be like a zip-file to them.
The concept is also similar to stuff in the Sci-fi movie Oblivion.

Us former drone operators WISH we had a setup as nice as hers lmao. Also... you're never alone in a complex when doing that kind of work.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, you operate in pairs :) Also, what's up with the girl calling her CO "comrade"? Judging by the flag on her arm, this is post-USSR, makes no sense. Still, nice production values.
@@AyoxinBlake FYI. Forms of address in Russian military did not change since soviet era. They still use "comrade" when addressing a higher rank.

I become addicted to these short films . Stories and quality and actors are better then most Netflix specials.
Ok. Best short film I’ve seen on Omeleto. Def. love it
The word 'intense' must have been created for this fine piece of art.
so that seargent that walked in & told her thank god youre alright then he said that wasnt me you were talking to ..... Perfect alibi for him if it Had been him she was talking to.
May be they had multiple receivers so that others including that officer might have heard this conversation
I get the feeling of the beginning of an X-File. Great work keep them coming.
Ok... This is NOT fair! Really not fair. I'm so into this story and it ends. If this was a trailer for a movie, I would already be getting tickets! You can't do this to us! Lol. We want more. What happens next? Make this into a full movie. It's better than anything Hollywood has put out in a long time. Keep the actors that are in this short film. They are awesome. Keep it just as it is but make it a two and a half hour long movie. You will make tons of rubels... Urrrr dollars! Lol. Awesome job!
This was so gripping, I didn't even notice the score until I replayed the film to listen for it. I'm looking forward very much to the continuation.

I love how it has subtitles when she speaks in English at the end of the movie
The fact that US, Russia and China all have UAP recovery programs and all each have recovered non human made vehicles, makes this not to far off.
The whole of the forest with the snowstorm is so beautiful, wish I had as a screensaver. Beautiful.
This is a good movie and sticks closely to UFO lore. The Russians had a history of more aggressive alien encounters with lots of casualties. So the ambush using a nuclear source is credible. Also the attempt to influence the operator with mind control. Similar actions had been reported, Great writing, good research, and solid acting. For those confused at the end. I think it was a rescue mission.
I want a full length film about this in Russian, not dubbed in English. Reading subs doesn't bother me.
With six months of learning Russian so far, I understood about 1 or 2 words every 1 or 2 sentences
That`s not too bad. I have been studying Russian for 7 years now( about 10 000 hours) and I still couldn`t understand everything. But it`s true I wasn`t studying it seriously for a long time, so you`ll probably do better.

the alien only came to earth for one reason... to troll on us hard!

Я вот посмотрел и ничего не понял. Так должно быть? За русскоговорящих актеров спасибо, молодцы. Мне все понравилось , но видимо будет продолжение.
this isn't a movie.. this is a soft disclosure of real tactics used against something that exists.
I was completely immersed from the beginning. This was impressive to say the least. For a movie just shy of 9 minutes that was an 8-9/10 excellent.
Plot twist :
The Officer she was talking to before the blackout was actually her real officer and wanted her to crush the nuclear drone into the base that had been already captured by aliens, and the guy she sees after she wakes is an alien who transformed into her superior.
thats what i thought at first
Alternatively, it could be there future selves that are the “aliens”
Yes.
This could be a possibility too
The real one happened in Lake Baikal in 1982.
No idea what was going on here, especially at the end.
😱👽 the aliens😹
The good old switcheroo.
This is the best one yet. i wish it was a full movie.
i fly a drone so it was very interesting to me.
Oh man.... Damm awesome...... I can't believe that u did this great video in only 8 min.... Mindblowing
Most of these are more original than most Hollywood movies.
make this a movie and take my money please!!
They kinda did already. It's similar to The Thing starring Kurt Russell as an awesome badass. 1982
when a short is better than an entire movie
a Bit of confusion is a great plot device to create suspense. Too much confusion however, just leads to nobody having a clue what it was all about. This movie did just that. It's about as confusing as the difference between a canary. Which leaves one wondering what the point of it all was. Maybe we find a resolution in part 2?
Hi! I’m in the USA and I love your language and your actors/actresses and your tv series!!! This has got to be one of the best ever sci-fi’s ever! Please, please, please make a tv series from this shorty film. I’m on this edge fo my seat waiting!? 😉👍🥰. Another story we are all fascinated with here is your Bigfoot/Yeti stories! Especially the young group ( 9?) who all were killed by something in the frigid wilderness years ago?! That would make a terrific sci-fi series! Of course, showing honor and respect for those who died and their families you would change the events to fit, buy keep the same story base. Thank you soooo much for this great, talented, wonderfully written, directed, produced and acted film. Much praise to you..... and well deserved!, 😉👍🥰
The statement in the beginning is closer to the truth than people would like to believe!
Soft disclosure I’m telling you, they’re slow drip feeding us information.
Can someone explain to me, what the helicopter had to do with all of this? All I can think of right now is that the helicopter crashed and the ailiens contacted it or that the helicopter was crashed by the ailiens but what does that have to do with the base?
Perhaps since the aliens failed to recruit the drone operator, they moved on to the next available target, a civilian helicopter pilot.
I think it was implied that the person that took the helicopter was also an alien that had been captured and the alien that was interacting with Maya was trying to find them.
the person in the helicopter (Danny) is to be the main character of the feature film these guys are trying to get made
Is that hit streamer and master squirrel impersonator, Aliona!
Brilliant! I hope they decide to create a full length version. It was very intense and an excellent plot point.
