He later became a biology teacher at the Middle School of Lillian, Ohio, he had a reputation for being very mean, as Cary mentions that he locked his electric football in his dungeon (a large cabinet where he kept his work on the alien) and was never seen again, and students started calling him Old Man Woodward because he was aging. When the alien was being brought to the facility in Ohio in the train, he drove his truck onto the tracks and caused the massive derailment. He survived and was confronted by the kids in his truck.

The United States Air Force found him and tried to get ahold of a secret film, but he didn't tell them anything, so Colonel Nelec killed him with a lethal injection.
