But murdering Black proves to be quite a challenge.

But when the Air Force arrives, they cannot find anything visually or on radar, throwing Mitch’s reputation into doubt. Global panic ensues when it is revealed that a mysterious UFO is actually a giant bird that flies at supersonic speed and has no regard for life or architecture. Along with mathematician Sally Caldwell (Mara Corday), Mitch tries to determine a way to stop the bird, which has a force field that renders all weapons useless.
