[Jennifer] Well, this photograph taken a month ago is clean.

But this next one...

[Dr. Kramer] What do you feel that indicates, Jennifer?

It could be a sign of a primary system malfunction.

You mean, uh, not unlike a black hole?

[Jennifer] No, that's not what I mean.

[Dr. Kramer] Are you suggesting that there is a black hole in the middle of New Mexico.

No, just uh, making a suggestion of an analogous situation.

[Dr. Kramer] Your suggestion has been noted. What do you think, Larry?

Say, why don't we send somebody out there with some hardware to check and see.

[Larry] Jennifer, would you be willing to see this through?

[Roger] You know that's, that's a marvelous idea except Jennifer hasn't had the experience

in the field and uh, perhaps I can go down there and assist her.

[Motel Manager] Nope. It's like I said, her car is parked next to her room but she's not there.

[Dr. Kramer on phone] Do you know where she might be?

[Motel Manager] Well, I'm sorry but I really couldn't say.

Her bed has not be slept in. I don't know where she is.

All right. It's very important that I speak to her.

Have her call her father as soon as she comes in.

Right, thank you very much.

Have Edwards get me everything what we've got on aerial phenomenon in New Mexico.

Yes sir.

[Dr. Kramer] You have the photo's graphics?

[Male] Frances has them now, sir.

Okay. Cue circuits four and nine.

Hold on to your pants everybody.

[Dr. Kramer] Looks like that flaw showed up in those satellite photos

has led Jennifer right to class one evidence of alien contact.

That rock formation that she photographed has one helluva crystal structure.

All those mineral streaks are a manipulated metamorphic derivative

of the riled eye host.

The circular patterns are precise schematic diagrams of our solar system.

I assumed those points around it were known star clusters.

But the position seemed way off.

[Dr. Kramer] Here's the payoff.

The positions aren't wrong.

If you're looking at Earth's solar system from the opposite side of the galaxy.

It's as though someone left us a calling card.

Why hasn't anybody noticed it before?

[Dr. Kramer] The message must of had a time function

some other trigger mechanism built into it.

In the mean time, I'm trying to read the damn thing.

Any ideas Larry?

We'll need the distances and quadrant points for area of view.

[Larry] Then we'll work out an inforemost time break down.

I want to know when these stars were in this configuration.

And if they haven't ever formed this pattern...

-find out when they will. -[Dr. Kramer] We need to start pattern David.

What about security?

I'll uh, take care of that.

Oh, uh, Dr. Parkfield. There's one more thing.

Get in touch with the airport.

I want a plane equipped and ready in one hour.

We're going to New Mexico.

I tell you these cattle mutilations has got everyone all worked up

I mean Walt and Darren are probably off somewhere sleeping one off

and that kid of his thinking the worst and taking a pot-shot at you and Jennifer here.

Will you excuse us for a second.

Sure.

Well the sheriff's department identified that body.

A dude from Chicago. His wife still missing. No telling what happened to her.

And those federal boys that called in, stopped by last night.

What are you talking about? I didn't call no feds.

Well someone sure as hell did. Two guys came over with plenty of identification.

[whispering] They were asking a lot of questions about her.

The whole town is talking about her.

Mrs. Keaton over at the motel said she wasn't in all night.

Ain't nobody's damn business where a lady spends the night.

Well where else would she be?

Wow. Sure complicates things Wayne ole buddy.

No it doesn't Niles. All it does is prove that she is not the cause of all this.

If you say so. But let me tell you something these federal boys,

asking a lot of questions about you too.

Not that I've paid it any mind but... well.

Uh, I need to check one of my metering units.

-You think there is any way that Niles can do it for you? -[Jennifer] No.

Oh, I would be very happy to help you out. See I'm a bit of a science nut myself.

Uh, you just tell me what to do and I'll do it.

The way things are going, I hate to let you out of my sight.

Okay, you can pick it up and bring it back.

our most important food supply and sending them to your bosses. For monitoring.

Ain't that right?

Oh, no.

That ain't a cattle part...

Still no luck, sir. But they will keep trying.

What's our transportation from Alamogordo?

There will be a helicopter available as soon as we touch down.

Sir I think we have dated the star pattern from the rock your daughter photographed.

My god. It's today.

[Federal Agent 1] Well sir, it's pretty much as you predicted.

It appears that the deputy and the scientist has come across certain information sir.

Uh, information that could be misinterpreted by the media.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I understand.

[Motel Manager] It's probably none of my business where you've been

Oh he started calling this morning but I told him you hadn't been in all night.

Thanks. Can you make the call for me now please.

Great. What am I supposed to tell my father

Yeah.
