A DC-3 airliner lands in Buffalo NY and when the runway crew arrives at the plane, they find out there\u2019s no one aboard.\u00a0 No crew and no passengers.\u00a0 The FAA sends Grant Sheckly their top investigator to solve the mystery.<\/p>\n
Sheckly interrogates the airport staff and management and they can find nothing to explain the mystery plane.\u00a0 But once they start describing the details of the plane inconsistencies start cropping up.\u00a0 One man says the plane\u2019s seats are blue another brown.\u00a0 And even with all of the group standing next to the plane they can\u2019t even agree on what number is painted on the tail of the plane.\u00a0 But Sheckly thinks he knows what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
His theory is that there is no plane but that mass hypnosis has them convinced that they\u2019re seeing one.\u00a0 Sheckly says he can prove his theory by sticking his hand into the running propeller.\u00a0 Enlisting the help of the group, they start the engines and he indeed walks into the propeller.\u00a0 And just as he thought he is unharmed and the illusion of the plane disappears.\u00a0 And after the plane disappears the group of people he has been questioning disappear too.<\/p>\n
Now Sheckly goes running into the management offices of the airport and there he finds that the people in charge don\u2019t know anything about an empty landing plane.\u00a0 In fact, the flight he\u2019s interested Flight 107 landed without incident earlier in the day and there was proof because a movie star was aboard and it made the newspaper.<\/p>\n
Bu now the airport manager remembers Sheckly and that fifteen years earlier there was a Flight 107 that disappeared while on route to Buffalo and Sheckly had been the investigator.\u00a0 It was the only case he was never able to solve.\u00a0 After hearing this Sheckly leaves and walks out onto the tarmac and starts talking to the air asking what happened to Flight 107.\u00a0 The end.<\/p>\n
This episode sucks.\u00a0 I guess it\u2019s psychological.\u00a0 But it\u2019s heavy on the psycho and light on the logical.\u00a0 You know how I feel about episodes where someone is shouting at no one.\u00a0 Well here\u2019s another exhibit.\u00a0 Damn it Serling, come on.\u00a0 Do some work and write an actual story.\u00a0 D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
