[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST.
March Air Reserve Base, CA
[[pkg]]
[[VO: opening shot, a wide of what looks like a dumpster, but inside are controls for UAVs]]
[[SUPER: March Reserve Base, CA]]
INSIDE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A DUMPSTER ARE THE CONTROLS TO ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST MYSTERIOUS AIRCRAFT--
[[SOT]]
[[SUPER: Lt. Col. Kirby R. Colas// Cmdr. 196th Reconnaissance Squadron, 163rd Reconnaissance Wing]]
"We fly the Predator Drone."
[[VO: Colas inside the dumpster...shots of crew members pointing out controls for UAVs, dissolve to exterior of hangar at March ARB iin Riverside]]
AIR NATIONAL GUARD LIEUTENANT COLONEL KIRBY COLAS SHOWED US A CONTROL ROOM FOR THE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE OR DRONE AT THE MARCH AIR FORCE RESERVE BASE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
"we are flying airplanes that are on the other side of the world. we control them from right here at March."
[[VO: Images of the drone in the hangar. Cuts to video downloaded from the USAF of declassified drone missions, you see what look like people walking around car...a street...and then explosions...(from a hell fire missile ]]
[[SUPER: Date: April 11 2008 Video Source: US Air Force]]
ALSO KNOWN AS THE PREDATOR...IT IS QUICKLY BECOMING A MILITARY MAINSTAY IN BOTH IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. FROM HIGH ALTITUDES DRONES CAN SPY VIRTUALLY UN-NOTICED FOR UP TO 20 HOURS AND DELIVER DEADLY FORCE WITH HELLFIRE MISSILES...AS SHOWN IN THIS DECLASSIFIED RECORDING FROM A MISSION IN BASRA IRAQ...
[[SOT]]
[[SUPER: Col. Albert Aimar//163rd Reconnaissance Wing]]
" this is the wave of the future. the unmanned aerial system is going to be increased a number of caps. what we have going on right...sec. gates wants even more."
[[GRAPHIC...TEXT WITH A BUILD? USE PHRASES IN QUOTES SOURCE: USAF]]
AIR FORCE STATISTICS SHOW DRONES LOGGED MORE THAN "79,000 FLYING HOURS"...
"20 THOUSAND MORE" THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

ASSOCIATED PRESS HOMELAND SECURITY WRITER SCOTT LINDLAW GOT TO SIT IN A TRAINING "COCKPIT"
[[NATS POP OF LINDLAW INTERACTING WITH LT. COL COLAS]]
[[VO: tight shot of the nose cone of the aircraft...dissolve to more declassified video]]
AT THE NOSE OF THE CRAFT IS A CAMERA WITH A LONG ZOOM. IT'S THE ONLY VISUAL A PILOT HAS...
IT MAY LOOK LIKE A VIDEO GAME...BUT OPERATING THE PREDATOR IS VERY COMPLEX.

[[SUPER: Lt Col. Kirby Colas//]]
"...the physical reaction time is a couple of seconds from when you tell the airplane to do something and when it tells you it's done it. "

[[STARTS WITH VO OF THE CONTROL ROOM...THEN DISSOLVES TO graphic descriptor-- usa map, California highlighted maybe...globe rotates to Germany...satellite on top of Germany beams information up to another satellite down to drone']]
[[SOT]]
[[SUPER: Lt. Col. Kirby Colas//]]
"you're also deprived of all the sensory keys that pilots normal have. the feel smells sounds and sights of an airplane."
[[VO: Different angles of the still drone...cuts to the dumpster control room][]
