He said he had seen their pilot and wanted to share information to influence their show. He suggested that they could include certain truths or disinformation about UFOs. The man drew something on a piece of paper, which he called the 'secret of the universe,' and asked them to keep it safe for years. After losing it for some time, they eventually found it again.
