This is a film for those who think the US government is hiding "the truth" about UFOs. I'm not in that group ( I didn't watch X-Files) and didn't enjoy this made for tv movie.
During a test to see if ground radar can track an US Airforce aircraft which is attempting to avoid it, the ground radar picks up three unidentified objects. The jet, which has no weapons, is asked to switch on its radar. The plane's radar also show three blips. After confirming with NORAD that there are no scheduled flights in the area a Marine base launches 2 fighters to incerpet the UFOs. Both ground radar and the airforce jet radar monitor the situation. As the fighter jets enter a cloud bank all 5 blips vanish from all radar screens. One of the airmen is looking out a window sees the fighters fly into the clouds but not out.. NORARD orders the Airforce plane to change radio frequence and take orders from something called Digger Command. The jet is directed to land at a no longer operational base, a base which is no longer even shown on Airforce maps.
The four airmen are in the hands of a government agency they've never heard of before, the Special Intellengence Detatchmen (SID, no relation to SID in the series UFO). The interigators attempt to convince them that the radar on their aircraft and the ground based rader were malfunctioning, and that they did not see with their own eyes two jets fly into clouds but never fly out. They claim there are no reports of missing fighter jets.
This movie is played out almost like a documentary. There's a narrator, times and locations scroll across the bottom of the screen. However at the end of the film there is the standard disclaimer about it being a work of fiction.
The movie does not have a satisfactory ending. The Marines who vanished with their fighters are never found. The UFO's are never identified and the conspiracy works the whole thing is hushed up.
I have Disappearance of Flight 412 on a $1 DVD along with Casablanca Express (1988).
