Hangar 18

An unidentified flying object collides with a satellite during a space shuttle mission, resulting in an emergency landing in the Arizona desert. To avoid political complications during an upcoming presidential election, the government denies the event happened and hides the craft in a secret location known as Hangar 18. Two astronauts, Bancroft and Price, are falsely blamed for the accident and the death of a crew member. The pair launch their own dangerous investigation to find the craft and clear their names.
