'''Willy Griffin''' is a young boy on [[Earth (TOS)|Earth]] who discovers [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]]'s [[Viper (1980)|Vipers]] while playing with his dog, [[Skipper]] {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I}}.

Griffin runs back and reports the sighting to his parents just as dinner is being served, but is dismissed as another of the child's tall tales out of fear that [[Willie's sister|his impressionable sister]] may believe it out of hand. In  return for cleaning up the dirt he tracked in, Griffin and [[Walt Griffin|his father]] venture into the field later that night, where this tale is confirmed. Upon bringing a local sheriff out to the field to confirm the sighting, they just miss the Vipers launching, in response to the [[crisis condition]] alert issued by Commander [[Adama (1980)|Adama]] {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II}}. 

== Vindication ==
After initially being ridiculed by other children led by his bully [[Tucker]], Griffin rediscovers the ships in the field following Troy and Dillon's return from their adventures in Earth's past. Griffin also discovers a third Viper belonging to the Colonials' adversary, [[Xaviar]]. 

The ships are being hauled away by the [[United States Air Force]] when Troy and Dillon return from dropping off [[Jamie Hamilton]]. While Griffin was told by an [[Air Force Colonel]] where they were going, he was told to keep it secret; Troy and Dillon operate on the belief that Griffin is aware and follow him to his school. Ultimately, they convince Griffin to disclose information on the whereabouts of their ships in exchange for a loan of one of their [[wrist computron]]s. Griffin soon uses the wrist computron to get revenge on [[Tucker]], a local bully, by using the [[invisibility field]] to embarrass him. After returning the wrist computron, he informs the Warriors of the Vipers' location {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III}}.
