Commander/Tech hands the phone to General William Grey and informs him NORAD is on the line. Hiller and the rest of the Black Knights squadron head towards the spaceship hovering over Los Angeles, while simultaneously being monitored by President Thomas J. Whitmore. Technician tells General Grey that the squadron is ready to attack, while Commander/Tech tells him that the New York squadron is also ready to attack. The Black Knights attack, but find out the spaceships have shields and are then attacked by smaller spaceships that also have shields and one of the Pilots is killed when his jet rams into the spaceship. President Whitmore orders the squadrons to retreat and the mission is aborted. Later, Commander/Tech tells General Grey that NORAD has been destroyed. B-2 Pilot radios Technician that he is heading towards the alien spaceship near Houston, Texas, who then tells Commander/Tech. The B-2 Pilot launches a nuclear missile at the Harvester spaceship, but Tank Commander tells Technician that it didn't do any damage to the spaceship.
