Though it has a sizeable cult audience, Roswell is in danger of being axed by its American network. This particular episode, however, is made interesting by its telling of the legend of the Roswell UFO crash in 1947 from the point of view of an ex-air force pilot. Michael is failing his history class and is told he must hand in a report by the end of the day. As it turns out, the old members of the 509th Bomber Squadron are in town for a reunion, and Michael is instructed to interview someone from the squadron for his report. The man he ends up interviewing is Captain Hal Carver.
