SYNOPSIS

On the way home from missing a flight of the X-15
that he was supposed to cover for his newspaper, Tim O'Hara
sees a small spacecraft crash in a desolate area.  The man he
pulls out of the ship is a Martian professor who has been
studying the people of Earth for several hundred years.  The
Martian gives him details of the X-15 flight, and when the
story is printed, Tim is arrested, told he won't be released
until he tells them who among the military personnel revealed
the secret information to him.  Since no one would believe
the truth, Tim is afraid he'll never get out.  But then the
Martian appears out of thin air in his cell and suggests a plan
that finally satisfies the authorities.  Tim offers room and
board to his new-found Martian friend while he's repairing his
spaceship.  In return, the martian, who among other things can
read minds, becomes invisible and converses with animals, offers
to help Tim with his reporting.  It looks like a wonderful
partnership.

NOTE:
There were 2 pilots: The aired & "unaired" version. The 
storylines are almost identical with only a few minor 
changes. I'll cover the differences at a later date. Thanks.
