Plot:
As the ominous thunderstorm rattles, the omniscient narrator reveals about a strange story from government files. Stock footage of B-52s without beehive hairdos
ensues. Unidentified object is spotted. Stock footage of planes show the chase after the mysterious object which is slowing down.
The communication department is tracking interference of radio and TV signals. Some chick runs down the road and flags down help. Her husband needs an
ambulance. Apparently, the communication truck can�t use its radio to call for help. A guy goes to investigate.
More omniscient narration ensues.
Betty�s husband, Ed, is deader than Yahoo Serious�s career. Lieutenant Bowers is filling out the report from the guy who was with Betty and Ed. The idea of a
guy dressed as a diver attacking them is too suspicious to the Bowers. The part about a guy with no head wearing a helmet really sets the suspicion bell off on
Bowers, who is sure the friend killed the husband. Another call reveals another murder�
Bowers arrives at the scene and questions the witness. The Communication guys are nearby tracking the jamming.
Narrator reveals that the jamming is moving.
Back at the police station, Hazen, communication guy, talks with Bowers. A sketch of the murderous diver has been made from Betty�s description. The witness
from the other scene is questioned and also identifies the sketch.
Hazen checks with Washington about the jamming. Hazen is sent to contact a Dr and a Major. Hazen learns the military top secret about how earlier in the day
a UFO was identified. It wasn�t a plane, rocket, meteor, etc�
Wakefield, the sneaky reporter, tries getting Bowers to give him an exclusive about the killings.
More narration about patrolling the streets ensues. The posse starts searching for the Phantom who evades the group. The Geiger counter leads them on. Phantom
locks himself in a cabin and takes off his suit and is INVISIBLE. The group finds the suit which is radioactive. The suit is taken to the Dr.�s lab. The invisible Phantom
leaves the cabin and sneaks into the truck with his suit.
At the lab, Dr. and man carry the suit inside. Barbara�s dog acts as if it sees something and tries chasing after the invisible Phantom. Barbara ties the dog up to
keep it out of the way.
In the lab, Dr. Major, and Barbara study the suit. The material cannot be cut or burnt. It is magnetic and repels acid. A long night of study ensues. The suit is
radioactive but the helmet isn�t. They learn the Phantom breathes methane and must get the helmet back. Major ponders how to trap the alien. Bowers calls and
reveals that the pictures didn�t develop, no images of the Phantom.
Major and Dr. meet Wakefield who wants the big scoop.
Barbara is still working in the lab unaware of the Phantom who traps here.
Barbara�s husband, Bill, heads up to meet her. She yells about the invisible man and to get help.
Bill gets Major and Dr. They rush to the lab and find the door open. However, Barbara is gone and search for her. The Phantom has carried her away.
Barbara awakens and is no longer in the lab. The men are still searching for her.
Floating helmet and heavy breathing ensues. Barbara figures out the Phantom is almost out of atmosphere. He starts tapping some sort of code out. Under an
ultraviolet light, she sees the Phantom�s hand.
Her scream at seeing a floating hand is loud enough to alert the men to find her. The Phantom leaves out a window. Barking dog ensues.
The space suit is rapidly disintegrating.
The major chases after the Phantom but ignores the dog, the animal capable of reacting to the invisible alien.
Hazen calls the Dr.
Dr. shows everyone what little remains of the suit. . Random guessing ensues that the Phantom isn�t a carbon based life form but silicon based and magnetic
propulsion of the space ship when it crashed. The Phantom reached shore.
Elsewhere, the Phantom reaches a communication truck and uses the device to �phone home.�
Bowers is worried about the alien not having fingerprints. The group thins that the Phantom didn�t intentionally murder anyone. Each of the killings, the
people attacked him first.
Barbara reveals how the Phantom was trying to communicate with her.
Phantom is still �phoning home.�
Radio operators start hearing the alien code.
Dr, Major, and the rest learn that the Phantom was using the communication truck. The alien must stay by the helmet. Bowers wants to capture the alien. Dr. tries
to convince everyone not to provoke him.
Narration ensues about the plan being in effect. The lab is opened. The roads are closed down, and the waiting begins. The Phantom approaches, and an
alarm is triggered. The men jump into action. They catch Wakefield, the reporter. No one knows the Phantom is in the area save one: the dog who is in hot
pursuit�(Huhhhhhhhhh-cooooooooooooo-cooooooooooooo-cooooooooooooooo, sorry Dukes of Hazzard reference).
Barbara is working in the lab near the helmet when the Phantom arrives again. She tries talking to him to no avail. Using the intercom, she tells everyone where
the alien is.
The men can�t make heads or tail of the code. One tries tapping the code back at the alien. Wakefield uses his camera, and the flash freaks the alien. Cold-cocking
the reporter, the alien is attacked by the dog.
Dr., Major, Barbara, and the rest chase after the scared alien. The Phantom is closed in the observation dome of the observatory. Ultraviolet light reveals where
and alien is. He�s tapping the code out. The Dr. realizes the Phantom�s voice is above the human range of hearing. The Phantom collapses and is pronounced dead.
The Phantom�s body quickly melts away to nothing.
The alien dies on Earth. I�m sure there is something profound when the Dr. opens the observatory dome to the stars.
