The cabin is eventually breached and in an effort to save his family, Corey hides the others in the cellar, blocking the door – he is, however, quickly abducted by the aliens. And, upon hearing a radio message from his missing brother, Sean goes out to fight the Aliens. Sean says that the Brown Mountain Lights and abductions have been a local recurrence for centuries. Sean and the family barricade themselves for the evening. He changes his mind when he hears his guard dog being attacked by an alien that followed them from the tunnel. The cabin's owner, Sean (Jeff Bowser), is a rustic recluse who is armed and initially hostile towards the family. They retrace their route back to a cabin they recall passing. They hear a blaring sound and run in fear. Suddenly a bundle of crows fall on their car, resulting in the car dying. The boys return to the car with the women, explaining what happened. Peter becomes the first to be abducted by the Aliens.

Upon realizing the non-human nature of the Alien approaching figure, Peter instructs Corey to escape with Riley while he attempts to create a diversion.

Peter-who is further ahead-sees a silhouette at the end of the tunnel and calls out. Personal belongings are scattered around some of the cars and it appears the missing occupants were forcefully removed from their vehicles, which troubles Riley. Peter, Corey and Riley leave their car to investigate the tunnel while Katie stays behind with Jillian. They reach a tunnel thinking it will lead to the highway but see it is blocked with recently abandoned vehicles - including a police car. A crow unexpectedly falls besides the car, dead. The family starts to panic when Peter announces the car is running low on gas. Riley's mother, Katie (Katherine Sigismund), senses something is wrong when they lose their cellphone signals. The following morning, while driving down the mountain en route to the highway, Riley's father, Peter ( Peter Holden) is sidetracked when their GPS mysteriously misdirects them to an isolated route.

The siblings spot three distinct star-like objects in the sky which maneuver abruptly and vanish. Riley wakes them and urges them to investigate. On the last night of their trip, Riley is startled by flashes of light outside of the tent he shares with his older teenage brother and sister, Corey (Corey Eid) and Jillian ( Jillian Clare). Riley Morris keeps a video journal while on a family camping trip in Brown Mountain, North Carolina. Information on-screen then reveals the recording is being used to review the footage for Project Blue Book. The film begins with a dim, out-of-focus corridor with machinery sounds and screams, an opening disposal chute, and the camera falling back to Earth where it is later recovered by the US Air Force.
