Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County

The film opens with narration presenting the footage as recovered from the McPherson family who vanished in Fall 1997. It is interwoven with expert comments and official notes to establish a documentary-like premise. The reveal sets a chilling tone for what follows.

Teenage Tommy films Thanksgiving dinner at home. The atmosphere is festive, but a power cut interrupts the celebration. The brothers go outside to check the fuse box, prompting the investigation into the yard and woods.

Tommy and his brothers move outside to inspect the fuse box and a transformer that is throwing sparks. In a nearby field they discover a strange object from which two aliens emerge. The aliens unleash a ray gun on a cow, and Brian suffers a burn on his hand when spotted.

The brothers sprint back to the house to warn the others, but the family is incredulous about the strange events. Lights flicker in the sky and a furtive figure appears outside a window, heightening everyone’s fear. Tommy retrieves his tape to try to prove what happened.

A high-frequency screech blasts through the house, incapacitating everyone except Rosie. The room falls into chaos as panic spreads and the adults struggle to understand what is happening. Rosie remains eerily unaffected by the strange disturbance.

Kurt tries to evacuate the family in the truck, but the vehicle's battery has melted, leaving them unable to flee. The sense of danger tightens as the outside threat seems imminent. The household is forced to confront their isolation inside the home.

Strange noises erupt from the roof as an alien enters through an open attic window. Kurt leads the way upstairs with his shotgun, while Tommy is ambushed by the intruder and placed in a trance. The alien slips away, leaving Tommy with no memory of the encounter.

Tommy awakens to shouts as Kurt traps an alien in an adjacent room and a laser shot signals a desperate standoff. They retreat downstairs to regroup, fearing what may attack them next. The tension between the brothers and the unseen threat escalates.

A ball of light enters the house and puts Renee into a coma. Kurt and Brian attempt one last effort to swap the truck battery and get the family to safety as the lights flicker and the house trembles with unseen danger.

Those who remain experience vivid auditory and visual hallucinations as the house is overwhelmed by strange phenomena. Rosie seems immune to the effects, maintaining an eerie calm amid the chaos. The group struggles to comprehend what is happening around them.

Rosie, left alone in the chaos, quietly removes the shells from the remaining shotgun. Her calm, almost mechanical action contrasts with the adults' rising panic, hinting at a hidden awareness of the danger.

Two mysterious figures approach from the woods as more lights and noises flare outside. The family barricades themselves inside, and the camera is dropped as the screen goes dark. Tommy delivers a tearful testimonial, and the tape ends with him facing an alien in the final moment.
