Sorry, but you are slightly confused. You're right in that there were two
pilots made, but you've got them mixed up.

The first pilot was "The Cage", and as the original poster's friend suggests,
it was about Pike's encounter with the Talosians. It was never shown in its
original form, but was re-edited and augmented into "The Menagerie". From
what's been said here and there, no more prints of "The Cage" exist in its
original form.

The second pilot has been shown many, many times, and it still exists ---
"Where No Man Has Gone Before".
