Overview

When cub reporters Dean and Sam of the Sinai, Colorado Sentinel investigate UFOs seen over Two-Mile Mesa, they have no idea of what they're about to face-or of what they'll end up doing. The time is July 1947-the great flying-saucer scare, when thousands of Americans suddenly report seeing UFOs over every part of the country. Dean is gay, but Sam (our narrator) is decidedly not! But as they interview witnesses and maintain high-altitude stakeouts, Sam begins to fall in love with Dean. Are the UFOs to blame? Is Dean merely the handsomest man Sam's ever seen, or a space alien? And are the UFOs actually Russian aircraft out to steal U.S. atomic secrets? The Air Force sends P-51 Mustang fighters to shoot down Sinai's aerial invaders, even as the Government insists people are just seeing weather balloons. But one night, after a veritable supersonic phallus streaks overhead, Dean and Sam risk everything to let the world know the truth.
