the nearby town and attempts to convince the local inspector of the situation. However, alien agents bring Ilana's body to the police station, making Zane a suspect in her death, and he sneaks back into the United States. He accosts Gordi on the JPL grounds, forcing him to admit that the aliens are trying to raise the Earth's temperature to kill off humans and make the planet hospitable for themselves. Zane secretly records the conversation, and once Gordi discovers the recording, he sends agents to stop Zane. Zane returns home to find his attic devoid of equipment. With the help of his girlfriend Char and Kiki, he travels to a radio astronomy array, hoping to uplink and beam his tape to a news satellite, but Gordi and his agents soon disable the telescope/satellite controls from the main building. Zane leaves the tape with Kiki and instructs him to transmit it when he gives the order. He and Char sneak over to the telescope's base and barricade themselves in the control room. Zane makes the necessary adjustments and tells Kiki to activate the tape, but Kiki reveals himself to be an alien agent, and he opens the door to admit Gordi, who confiscates the tape. Gordi and his agents break down the door to the satellite control room with a van, but Zane freezes them with liquid nitrogen. As he works to free the tape stuck in Gordi's frozen jacket, one of the agents drops a sphere which starts to engulf the room. Gordi begins to defrost and tries to grab Zane's arm, but Zane smashes off Gordi's arm with a fire axe. Zane and Char escape through the radio telescope station's access shaft, exiting safely onto the collapsed dish before the device implodes most of the base. Below them, they see Kiki, and Zane tells him to tell the aliens that he will soon broadcast this tape. In the film's epilogue, Zane's conversation with Gordi is broadcast across the globe.
