Unaware

A vacationing couple, Joe and Lisa, set out to visit Joe's grandparents, recording the journey with a camcorder. The drive is lighthearted as they chat and film for posterity. The timeline is anchored in July 2010.

They reach a gate that is locked, and Joe manages to open it to reach the house. Inside, they find a note stating the grandparents are away for a couple of days. The discovery shifts the mood from a casual visit to a quiet, unsettling curiosity.

They locate hidden house keys and enter the property, exploring the yard and the grandfather's classic Oldsmobile Cutlass in the garage. The camera continues to capture ordinary details, while something in the shadows hints at secrets behind the shed. The house feels ordinary, but their exploration hints at danger.

That evening, the couple shares a moment of joy when Joe proposes to Lisa and she accepts. The engagement contrasts with the eerie surroundings, adding emotional stakes to the unfolding mystery. This personal milestone will be tested by what follows.

Joe explains how his grandfather kept him away from the backyard shed when he was younger, adding a sense of family lore and silence. The mystery surrounding the shed's past plants a quiet dread as they decide whether to push further.

That night, Joe investigates the shed and finds a chained door with a loud humming behind it. He pries the door open to reveal old military technology and news clippings about the 1947 Roswell UFO incident. He discovers a large sealed crate but does not open it yet.

On the next night, the couple returns to the shed and Joe finally opens the crate, uncovering a flashing light and a lifeless alien. The discovery raises urgent questions about what to do next and who to trust with the evidence. Tension thickens as the unknown begins to exert its influence.

They argue over whether to call authorities, then Joe decides to contact the FBI to report the discovery. The decision signals a transition from private curiosity to official intervention, inviting external scrutiny. The choice heightens the sense that powerful forces are now involved.

An FBI agent arrives to assess the claim, but the agents are skeptical and unconvinced by the couple's story. The clash between eyewitness experience and institutional doubt leaves them feeling powerless. The scene underscores the fragility of belief when confronted with the unknown.

After deciding to leave, Joe goes to seal the shed while Lisa waits in the car. Inside, Lisa spots an alien life form in the flashlight beam, screams, and runs to Joe as more aliens appear. A bright light and the ship materialize, Lisa breaks her leg and is abducted; Joe is knocked out in the chaos.

Joe wakes up to find Lisa missing and the aliens departed. He attempts to escape in his grandfather's Cutlass but finds the steering wheel locked, preventing escape. He runs back to the yard and encounters the FBI agents, who are now witnesses to the chaos.

Joe pleads for help, but a powerful force knocks him out. The camera falls to the ground, and one agent steps on it, ending the footage. The scene leaves the characters in suspense and the audience with unanswered questions.

After the footage ends, a brief final shot shows something inside a black plastic bag with tufts of hair protruding from one corner. The image hints at a grim outcome and raises questions about what happened to Lisa and the aliens. The ending leaves a lingering sense of mystery.
