Later that night, Josh discovers something strange on the camera's footage- a strange, glowing object flying through the sky. After showing it to Drake, they become convinced that it must be an alien spaceship. They quickly decide to investigate and set out to find evidence of the extraterrestrial's presence.

In their investigation, Drake and Josh meet a group of conspiracy theorists who share their belief in the existence of aliens. They join forces with the group to search for more evidence of the supposed alien visitation.

As they search, Drake and Josh find more signs of the alien's presence, including a crop circle and mysterious footprints in the grass. They begin to feel confident that their speculation is correct. However, their investigations are frequently interrupted by the mischievous Megan, who enjoys making fun of their beliefs.

Desperate to find conclusive evidence, Drake and Josh take things to the next level by breaking into the secret government facility. They search through the computer databases and find files about extraterrestrial beings. However, they soon realize that they are not alone in the facility. They come face to face with a guard, and before they know it, they are chased out and forced to flee the premises.

Back home, they review the footage they captured on the camera during their investigation and become disheartened when they discover that the supposed extraterrestrial object was just a drone being flown by their neighbor. They are forced to face the uncomfortable truth that their alien encounter was nothing more than a wild goose chase.

In the end, Drake and Josh admit their mistake and pay their neighbor back for the damage they caused to his drone. Despite the disappointment and embarrassment they feel, they are happy that they were able to spend the night adventuring together.
