Proximity

In 1979, Carl, a lumberjack in Alaska, is abducted by aliens. The event marks the first contact that sets the pattern for the rest of the story. The incident hints at a larger mystery surrounding humanity's place in the cosmos.

In the present day, Isaac, a young computer engineer, starts keeping a video diary. He records his daily life and growing questions about unexplained phenomena. The diary becomes a narrative thread for the unfolding events.

After a hike in the woods, Isaac encounters a flying saucer and has a brief interaction with an alien. The moment is unsettling and life-changing, hinting at a deeper truth about alien activity. He senses that something larger is watching him.

Three days after the encounter, Isaac awakens near the water with no memory of what happened. He experiences disorientation and unusual sensations, suggesting he was abducted without full recollection. The mystery deepens as life becomes unpredictable.

A doctor examines Isaac and discovers a bone fracture with a precise cut that could not be explained by ordinary injury. The evidence points to a non-human intervention. This discovery bolsters Isaac's belief that his experiences are real.

Isaac reveals the abduction on video and uploads it to the internet, where it quickly goes viral. The footage draws attention from the media, the public, and even government agencies. The viral video makes Isaac a focal point for ongoing investigations.

News outlets and government bodies begin probing Isaac for proof and possible connections to other unexplained phenomena. The scrutiny blurs the line between eyewitness testimony and confessed evidence. Isaac feels the pressure as more parties become involved.

Isaac starts noticing patterns of alien life across historical records, suggesting that extraterrestrials have interacted with humans before. The accumulation of signs strengthens his conviction about the ongoing reality of alien visitors. The historical thread adds weight to his claims.

Isaac finds a post on the internet by a girl named Sara who shares a similar experience. They arrange to meet at a local diner, where they compare notes and realize they may be dealing with the same conspiracy. The encounter sets the stage for a joint investigation.

Isaac is asked to take a lie detector test to prove his abduction and passes. This triggers the Men in Black, led by Agent Graves, to close in on him and Sara. The escalation marks a shift from skepticism to active pursuit.

The government learns Isaac and Sara have alien trackers in their arms and Isaac refuses to comply. He escapes with Sara, pursued by androids, and they end up in Costa Rica where hacker Zed helps them and reveals knowledge of a United Nations agency behind the kidnapping.

In Costa Rica, Zed and Sara locate an elderly Carl and video chat with him. They learn that aliens will arrive in British Columbia in five days, giving them a countdown and a sense of urgency. The group prepares for the approaching visitation.

The group travels to British Columbia to find Carl, who disables the UN trackers. They retreat to a cabin and wait for two days as the countdown tightens. The suspense builds toward the impending encounter.

The aliens arrive and reveal their study of humans and belief in Jesus as important to the universe. They remove Sara's tracker as Men in Black surround the cabin. Graves confronts Carl about his father's death; Carl refuses and is shot, and Sara is shot as well, before the aliens rescue the group and destroy the cabin. The survivors escape in a flying saucer.

Six months later, Isaac and Sara live a normal life in Costa Rica. Zed and Carl lead a new science program, while Agent Graves has been fired from his position. The case remains unresolved to the public, but the group has moved on with their lives.
