Plot,
Three families alien encounters over four generations were chronicled in this
ambitious 10 part miniseries from executive producer Steven Spielberg. The saga
opened as glowing orbs engulfed a crippled World War 2 bomber piloted by Russell
Keys, who later became convinced through a series of nightmares that he had been
abducted by aliens.

01 Beyond The Sky.
During a bombing mission over Germany in December 1944, Capt. Russell Keys apparently
survives his plane crashing after seeing bright lights in the sky. After the war,
he is plagued by nightmares where he is mistreated by strange beings. As the
nightmares continue, he learns that 8 of his 9 crew members are now dead. In Roswell,
N.M. in 1947, U.S. Army Captain Owen Crawford goes up against Col. Thomas Campbell
who is hiding the fact that a flying saucer has crashed in the area. Crawford is
determined to take over the project and sets about to undermine the Colonel's
authority. He also learns that the aliens may appear in human form. In Texas, lonely
housewife Sally Clark helps an itinerant, John, who she finds hiding in her shed.
John moves on but Sally soon finds herself pregnant and is visited by Capt Crawford.
