Colonel<ref>Mason's rank is visible on his uniform's epaulettes.</ref> '''Mason''' is the [[United States Air Force]] officer who oversees the removal of the three Galactican [[Viper (1980)|Viper]]s that landed in a meadow where [[Willie Griffin]] played.
Colonel<ref name="script"/><ref>Davies' rank is also visible on his uniform's epaulettes.</ref> '''Davies''' is the [[United States Air Force]] officer who reports to General [[Cushing]] about [[Troy (1980)|Troy]]'s and [[Dillon]]'s [[Viper (1980)|Viper]]s entering American airspace {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I}}.


He asks Griffin to keep the secret of the craft, but fails to do so as the boy ultimately tells [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]] that the crafts were brought to [[Van Nuys A.N.G. Base]]. While the Galacticans, including [[Xaviar]], recover their craft, Mason brings Dr. [[Donald Mortinson]] to the base, arriving  just after all the craft are gone {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III}}.

In the [[Galactica Discovers Earth (Book)|novelization]] by [[Michael Resnick]], this character is given the full name of '''Henry Becksworth Davies''' in a news clipping. Also a colonel, he is the aide of General [[Tucker Wilson]] (General Cushing's analogue), and he denies every report of the sighted UFOs, which are known to the reader as Troy and Dillon's Vipers.<ref>{{cite_book|last=Resnick|first=Michael|authorlink=Michael Resnick|authorlinkurl=|year=1981|title=[[Battlestar Galactica 5: Galactica Discovers Earth]]|publisher=Berkley Books|location=|id=|pages=20}}</ref>
