A radar station spins around, then suddenly points in a specific direction. RADAR DISK, PART OF A SECRET NATIONWIDE NETWORK. COLLECTIVELY, 2.3 BILLION DOLLARS In a underground command center, an operator points to a screen. PROJECT POUNCE C&C, 800 MILLION DOLLARS In a locker room, an alarm sounds. Extremely strong looking people grab guns and helmets and run towards the door. NRO DELTA ENHANCED PERSONNEL, 1.8 MILLION DOLLARS We see strangely triangular planes being prepped for takeoff. AURORA INTERCEPTORS WITH ELECTROGRAVITIC PROPULSION, 9 BILLION DOLLARS A technician eats pretzels. PRETZELS, 1.49 A secret door opens up in the desert ground. HIDDEN UNDERGROUND RUNWAY, 119 MILLION DOLLARS The Auroras fly through the air. Suddenly they release a barrage of missiles. AIR-TO-AIR MISSILES WITH NEUTRINO TARGETING, 1.1 MILLION DOLLARS EACH The missiles impact on a *shape*. No other description is possible as it shares nothing in common with that which is built by human hands or conceived with human minds. ALIEN "SPACECRAFT," COST NOT MEASUREABLE IN HUMAN TERMS SOME THINGS IN LIFE MONEY CAN'T BUY. FOR EVERYHING ELSE, THERE'S MASTERCARD.
