okay

it to look

so come only creator nice work kiddo I

want to see the man in the moon there's

no stupid man on the moon story mom made

up hey Jake let her look I told your mom

those stories and I didn't make him up

hey professor been here an hour only

seen one when's it gonna start your eye

on the skies Danny any time now

this is Hal Boone reporting live as

across the globe people are gathered at

all hours of the night for what

astronomers are calling the greatest

meteor shower in nearly 10,000 years

the meteor shower is expected to be so

intense the long-anticipated european

lunar expedition has been delayed is now

scheduled to launch early next month

walk I see one

oh c'mon to juice Diwali polimedia

hey Rhonda little telescope delusion

improve our day facade you near Anton's

cozy pal explosion the meteor hit a lack

of superhot atmosphere since it affects

dodging air c'est magnifique

this is absolute pandemonium ensued Roz

over-salty Anglin exact Abama hands Eden

fiancée our skins even our Towson

on governance it is a similar spectacle

with Anglin hours of our spring the

guaranteed oh I know Susan definitely at

least five post-commentary meteors in

the main field largest six kilometers

six months is director of the National

Roosevelt Observatory and you hit the

mother lode same job I had a kid peak

Jared just more paperwork give me four

degrees 12 minutes

what's mount palomar giving us as a

geocentric distance um we're tracking

the main field just as we expected a

very safe distance of 2.7 million

kilometers those two bodies collided

just a few hours earlier the trajectory

of the larger meteors would be right in

our path a few hours fifty million years

ago it's amazing really is just chance

isn't it

can't we're even here that we that we

exist there's your proof you're an

atheist scientist Jared I think science

trumped religion a long time ago but how

can you be sure that science is all the

answers dr. Rhodes data dad

could you pass me the 30 it's the big

one with the green stripes

thank you

how long will it last several hours

probably well into the day it's

beautiful the most beautiful thing I've

ever seen

don't worry I know my place

fantastic there will be hundreds of no

samples and they will probably contain

fragments we've never seen before

I'm sorry material yeah I know the

details bore you but I'm hoping that

seeing this you understand why this is

all so very magical to me I do just

don't go looking for all those pieces at

the same time we have a wedding to plan

dr. Amazon I know the details for you

but it's all very magical to me

gerrae give me a hundred DB aperture

game

what's Niner we can seal beyond the main

body of meteors what is it

we have at any yell big check its

trajectory you're right

I'm tracking a near-earth object ninety

it's coming right at us

dad what's that

I don't know

it's big enough to reflect the Sun

I thought we could celebrate both demons

roll it

dianna 19 kilometers it's twice the size

of the KT asteroid that killed the

dinosaurs geocentric distance four

hundred twelve thousand kilometers

narrow elliptical orbit geometric

progression it's gonna hit the moon

yeah what's wrong

we're not sure what we've just seen

sir moon appears to have been hit by a

meteors is inside infinite bus on

fastball and a gig antigen expose une of

the moon you see I know gross of oil

cows cow food should not much drive me

to Vidya Balan Saket filmmaker but as a

snitch being this verse for winning out

blinking Bassianus daddy we have

incoming objects large enough to survive

atmospheric burn how fast this is crazy

the impact force ejected debris at six

thousand kilometers a minute what yeah

that's what it says at that velocity

it's only gonna take less than an hour

hello this is dr. Rhodes dr. Rhodes when

the White House was briefed last week we

were told there wasn't any danger from

this meteor shower

speak to me a large meteor fragment was

hidden behind the main meteor field our

early morning telescopes missed it are

there any more coming our way

no but we are tracking unusually high

velocity fragments that'll make it

through the atmosphere and hit earth in

less than an hour what kind of damage if

they were to hit a metropolitan area

Minah that the damage could be severe

there's too many to track with any

accuracy but we are expecting impact

within the United States

I'll have FEMA call you they're gonna

relate directly to their regional

offices keep me updated

officials have just issued a statement

urging everyone decision listeners

debris from the moon hood and most

likely will make impact authorities

cannot at this time determine where

these impacts will happen but have

confirmed that large debris will survive

this can pose a significant danger

and running around in populated areas

again for your own safety you are asked

to remain indoors and await further

instruction

company shattered and fires are

spreading what isn't

when it was hit billiards night

fortunately mostly damage occurred in an

industrial area where many factories

were closed we're now receiving

information that at least another dozen

attacks occur throughout the world hello

yeah I'm watching go Franz and gather

the others I'll meet you at the

Institute in Wilson he and quite a bit

more than we bargained for a Maddy I'm

uploading a series of recent images from

the Jodrell telescope what are we

looking at it's a piece of the moon and

a big one we've tracked it extrapolate

to the course and it's headed towards

Earth estimated size at impact 100

metres 100 metres I mean that's enough

to wipe out an entire metropolitan area

we're waiting on updated satellite feeds

from the Russian on surgery we should be

able to track the impact to it in

100-mile radius

I'll send you the data as soon as we

have it when is the estimated impact 14

hours

thank you lots of debris as you can see

shrouded in a cloud of dust

apparently the result of a massive size

meteor that struck the moon last night

ladies and gentlemen

I'm afraid were as much in the dark as

you are as to what good mr. president

whether any other befit was was greiger

there's been a new development it's not

over yet

he made impact off the coast of

Australia

JPL isn't tracking any other incoming

objects the moon is moving at 96% normal

orbital velocity 350 1,000 kilometers

and stable I want every advisory member

to see the data I want a consensus of as

many opinions as possible and that guys

is why Canadian geese fly south dad Jake

said a meteor killed all the dinosaurs

and if I don't clean his room an even

bigger one us gonna hit us tonight

really well guess who's cleaning your

room for the next couple of weeks

what we're gonna be fine okay then

tomorrow you're sleeping in the basement

again

it's like when there's a storm Pelle

just to be sure okay you think the man

removes okay I know he is

try and get some sleep okay night dad

you like guys I wish I wish for health

and happiness after soon from wearing

tonight

you shine so bright he's always there

reports are coming in now that the

tsunami caused by the forty Megaton

explosion hit the coast of Australia and

Indonesia but thanks to the early

warnings countless lives were saved but

we are just beginning to understand the

magnitude of this incredible event I

might have known how this was gonna end

boy on my own home hours struck them

meteorites usually knocked before they

come crashing into the house I don't

think we need to lock that lock you

think this is funny don't you exciting

but there could be more not here going

to meet not tonight Jess million-to-one

right like a plane crash or car wreck

we're getting hit by a bus while

crossing the street well it happens to

someone somewhere every day you know

there's an old bomb shelter in town if

you want to go better go see how the

kids are doing

what about the moon the collision offset

some of the moon's forward velocity

causing it to be drawn in by Earth's

gravity the moon is now thirty thousand

kilometres closer to Earth closer it

really is quite extraordinary but it has

regained gravitational equilibrium it is

once again in a stable orbit what are

the ramifications of a closer orbit well

we're still analyzing all the data but

the distance variable didn't seem to be

significant enough to have any major

effect most people won't even notice the

difference are we in any danger took a

hell of a hit didn't it

and maybe werewolves are gonna start

coming out in the middle of the

afternoon I don't know dr. Rhodes I'm

not a scientist but what I don't want is

Chicken Little out there telling people

that the sky is falling I understand

from all analysis at this point the Muny

is stable general Bowen where we own

this we're watching the satellite

tracking from both US Space Command and

nor it and have come to the same

conclusion Andrew let's schedule a

presidential address few minds at ease

thank you dr. Rhodes thank you sir

refres do Kitner you have been quoted if

in fact the meteor had hit Earth yes it

would have been catastrophic I'll say

but let's remember that it didn't and

the chances of another meteor of that

size ever coming this close again is a

trillion to one if that according to dr.

Alex Kittner a professor of astrophysics

and formerly of NASA I didn't know you

worked for NASA yeah yeah yeah it was

part of a team think-tank theory based

applications what kind of work did you

do

antigravity you're serious you ever hear

the levitated crowd yes European

scientists manipulated gravity using

electromagnetic energy and briefly

levitated a frog well we used that same

theory and actually built the prototype

of a zero-gravity machine which could in

theory levitate more than just wrong

right out of the Jetsons well why

haven't I heard of it well because in

theory it wasn't practical matter

particle debris will blanket the

atmosphere for a week temperatures will

cool slightly but that'll pass

we don't foresee any noticeable effect

on tides when I know here and have any

new information yeah very nasty director

of the National Road I haven't spoken

Torrey discussing the aftermath of the

meteor impact that is frayed nerves

across the globe now with more on this

crisis back to you Lisa

water levels now receding through most

of the affected areas has it well

hello this is dr. Rhodes hi

David yeah I just saw you on TV you look

good congratulations you know this isn't

really a good time you know when was

there ever a good time

Maddy an exclusive on something like

this could really help me and you seem

to be someone in the know or you know

more than you're saying

I'm sorry David but can you please not

call me anymore

I don't think we're going north mr. Luce

I'm reading it right off the compass son

I know but since when does the Sun set

in the east

missile at O'Hare

based upon the limited number of

casualties credited to the early

warnings however several unexpected

tidal surges and new flooding in other

parts of the globe seem to have experts

baffled even as they insist these

anomalies are not related to the tsunami

what appears to be particularly

troubling with that these tidal changes

are not even remotely close to weather

there's no global consistency with these

tidal changes are happening in insulated

areas which means it's not a normal

interaction between the Earth's and

moon's tidal forces or the effect would

cover half the planet something else is

causing these intense local anomalies

with typical ecology has North come up

with anything no they're waiting on us

nobody's ever seen anything like this

before that's not enough for several

experts now speaking up suggesting that

despite what the government wants us to

believe the meteor has in fact affected

the moon and its behavior towards Earth

what exactly that means nobody knows

hey Lloyd it would mean a lot to Jake if

he came to the game

damn dandelions I don't get him out

today they're gonna mess up the lawn all

right guys let's do it huh

will he ever leave the house in our

lifetime see huh

piece of junk

lines of a computer couldn't fix it even

if you wanted to let's be the battery I

guess you can jump it with the boat if

you want you got cables yeah they're my

backseat all right just be a minute guys

it's like a car is supposed to run you

haven't driven anywhere in 30 years what

we know about Canadian Geese guys they

taste good they fly up to 40 miles per

hour reach 15,000 feet and sometimes

migrate itself as far as 1500 kilometers

congratulations you got yourself another

Trivial Pursuit champion grandpa you

love me admit it

yeah your sub sex I know more about

Canadian Geese than you do

oh yeah miss smartypants will answer me

this if geese fly south for the winter

how come they're flying south now spring

isn't it

grandpa why don't you come to my

baseball games outside of my domain

what to tell me whatever I can see from

right here why don't you want to go

outside your domain I don't like big guy

and I don't like places what called

social phobia it's a real disease all

right guys let's go we're gonna be late

huh think I'm being overly dramatic no

Lloyd I you think you well why don't you

just call me a wuss while you're at it

you wish Jake good luck good luck Jake

find my worse it's not what

mr. party still Johnny you know I

suspect grass shadow nay while you wait

and know just works

thank you

I'm sorry I'm late this has just been

incredible we are finding unit pieces

with compounds we haven't had our hands

on since the Apollo days you say is

gonna fast-track the upcoming lunar

mission hey imagine slow down right I'm

sorry

you said you needed to talk I'm all yes

what is it you are looking radiant is

there some change to the wedding I

should know about

well not exactly is it about work

Oh before I forget to remember Lucas the

geologist from the Institute toys near

today I told him I know the best

physical therapist on the planet on the

planet so I'm told

he's gonna call tomorrow great well then

would you like something to drink sir uh

wine white two please no not for me I'm

not drinking good

I was going to wait until we had a real

moment alone but that seems unlikely

these days and I couldn't wait anyway

wait for what well I went to see sorry I

just have to take this just two more

seconds I'll be right with you

hello

where

I'll be there in 10 minutes great bye

you are going to come out you yes it was

France they need me back at the lab we

just received a new piece it could be

very important if I'm the first to find

a fragment from the meteo itself

believe me that would be very good news

hmmm there's nothing like sharing good

news with the person you love from him I

can read each other's thoughts

completely thank you you have it

I love you we'll talk later we're

meeting the priest tonight at the church

right right I knew that

I'll see you there promise

make sure you get everything up you guys

go ahead I'm gonna take this okay

hello Alex it's Maddy Rhodes

Maddy hey I'm sorry to just call after

all this time no it's fine

I mean it's more than fine it's nice to

hear from you becoming quite a familiar

face on TV these days oh yeah more than

I'd like

I don't think we've seen the end of it

yeah the tides wow this is really

something isn't it or there's some kind

of residual effect since the moon shift

I mean there's no scientific precedent

to explain these things I'm afraid I'm a

little out of the loop Mattie only

what's been on the news you know well

you're the best mind in the field as far

as I'm concerned Alex I could use your

help well what can I do come to New

Mexico you know look over the data see

if there's something we missed I can't

get away right now

Mattie yeah so not a good time just for

a day Amanda died eight months ago and I

just can't be away from my kids you know

Alex I'm I'm so sorry I didn't know

no it's okay um you know you could come

here if you get the time would that be

okay yeah that's great you know I'll

call you tomorrow with my details okay

let me just

hello hello

my buddy

and again jab focus pal

Wow

dad I feel fun

what is it kind of electrical charge

Roland what is with all this writing

Roland was here and not always told me

to make a mark in the world yeah take a

look at this right here

you're right definitely Luna pieces

aren't doing us any good anymore

we need a sample of that meteor I know

oh by the way we got a call earlier

local scout troop from something here

first invader okay the description

didn't make much sense but it's worth a

look so are we coming in later tomorrow

okay uh didn't I hear you say something

about you and Martina having to meet

with the pastor tonight mm-hmm

oh she's gonna like this okay David

sure once yeah

she's more go

we reserved this church six months ago

my parents were married in this church

the pastor and this church needs to

approve us as a couple

I'm sorry but you know the situations

except there's always a situation Roland

you missed our last meeting because you

were hunting down another important

meteorite that wasn't mine

we had to cancel the meeting with a

caterer of the week before that because

you were skydiving I need you to start

being more responsible and start

considering more than just his half

Roland

I don't need anyone to approve us we are

going to get married it just so happens

that I'm right in the middle of what

might be the greatest geological finding

I shouldn't drag Mellon

we are having a baby at least aya

yeah

are you serious yes a baby

is it mine I tried to tell you earlier

but you can never stay in one place for

more than five minutes

all these places to go scribbling

rolling was here Roland's never here I

need you to be home I need us to do this

right problem we are going to be a

family Roland is going to be here by

commas

yes one I'm sorry

we're pregnant well she's pregnant

I will be a daddy

more than two dozen gas stations

exploded almost simultaneously less than

an hour ago

Oh within a 300-mile radius authorities

do not believe their terrorist related

witnesses from as far away as Canada

clinging to a felt an unusual charge of

static electricity but what caused this

static surge that still remains a

mystery

oh man I was standing across the street

when all of a sudden IRAs hair was

standing on end you can feel the charge

my cell phone in work nothing boo-boo

who's a gas station what was trip is

hell Rene we're working on it

so far there's no consensus and wonder

who's get one get it quickly I need an

answer so what exactly does a meteor

hunter do meteorite hunter all right

what's the difference in space

it's a meteor if it makes it to the

atmosphere it's a meteorite same

question thousands of meteors hit our

planet every year less than 1% make it

through the atmosphere and nearly all of

those are so small they usually never

found I tracked them down and study them

and someone pays you to do that you do I

work for the government it's up here

come on

a little piece like that caused so much

damage

you pass me the etching tool for my bag

please

did no meteors were magnetic it you're

right they're not

yeah go to Cologne

to start again to love you

Maddie Alex

Wow

nice to see you it's been too long yeah

Oh hmm Maddie I'd like you to meet one

of my students Ella Barlow Ella Danny

Rhodes is to meet you - oh well we're

hoping there's some consistency that can

help pin this down Washington's

breathing down my neck they want answers

don't we all this is outside any known

scientific parameters but there is an

explanation we just need to find it

greed so let's start with what we know

when did these anomalies begin after the

collision more precisely after the moon

repositioned its orbit but the moon's

magnetic influence isn't strong enough

to cause these kind of effects all right

so we thought or so we know I mean

astrophysics is an exact science

obviously something's happening here

that we don't quite understand but well

your suggestions implausible no Maddie

wasn't that long ago people thought the

world was flat I think if we're gonna

make any headway here for we're gonna

get anywhere we need to start thinking

beyond what we believe is possible okay

so why is the moon causing compasses to

spend erratically or cell phone

disruption or massive static charges

it's electrical somehow the collision

has altered the moon's magnetic field

but only in specific areas random very

isolated surges in the Earth's

electromagnetic field that would explain

it

hmm but what about the tides they've

been affected too and that's not

magnetic that's gravitational true which

would suggest some ala moon's mass has

been dramatically altered

hello this is dr. Rhodes dr. Rhodes no

look at a promotion alone run a

first-name basis

Rowland um hang on one sec I'm gonna put

you on speaker Rowland I'm here with

Alex Kittner and one of his students

Ella Barlow legs how are the kids how

are you fine

sorry enroll thank you how are any of us

really though pulling our hair out I

would say yes have you found anything

yes and it's from our meet you I'm sure

hold on to your socks I believe what we

have here is a fragment from a brown

dwarf a brown dwarf

what's a brown dwarf remnant of a dead

star they're millions of in floating

around the universe after a star burns

out it packs itself in a very very

compressed manner very very very

compressed nobody's ever actually had

their hands on one before until no I

believe I'm in line for a Nobel are you

sure with these good looks about the

brown dwarf well how the testing is

needed but Sir yes I am sure

my guess is two of them collided and

smashed each other up some time ago

sending a good-sized chunk of it into a

neighborhood moon was a heavier hit than

we thought no images are showing deep

subsurface fissures we believe that a

piece of the brown dwarf is still lodged

inside the moon

what's its mass doesn't disappoint about

1216 e'en tongues that's twice the mass

of Earth but that's at all this is

heavily magnetized not only is the moon

are twice as heavy as the earth we have

a gigantic magnet floating up there

above us oh well that would explain the

electromagnetic surges uh rolling can

you send me this data immediately listen

right over radial velocity was the last

time anyone did a spectrographic

analysis our Doppler reading in the moon

JPL right after the impact it's achieved

gravitational equilibrium II it can't

shift again without another impact or

outside force if this piece of hyper

masses magnetic L is quite right that's

what's caused and these surges in a

magnetic field and if we have a mass of

12 sextillion tons stuck in them up then

it new earth are gonna start pulling

each other closer now these anomalies

have been getting more intense right why

let's recheck the moon's position

Rowlands stay on the line okay your

landline

this is Jared Jared I need you to dr.

Rhodes the phone has a stop ringing you

need to get back here

JPL Jodrell Rasmussen vitória hell every

amateur astronomer with an RSS feed

they're all requesting confirmation

confirmation of what the minor axis is

now

the moon has moved again it's now

orbiting at 265 thousand kilometers

that's almost 90,000 kilometers closer

has it regain equilibrium yes for now

but who's to say it's not gonna move

again what if it keeps getting drawn

closer and closer to the earth that's

not possible

none of this was who's to say it is

impossible

just can't be

I thought the president was finding new

experts to advise him he likes you

and he's been told you the best give him

straight answers speak your mind if you

have to but if you don't know tell him

you don't know do not be asked this man

oh one more thing whatever you do tell

him it has to be right okay wait

do I call in sir almost a president mr.

president

dr. Rhodes mr. president thank you for

coming

I prefer face-to-face video screens are

not very personal it's an honor mr.

president have a seat

so where are we the acceleration of an

object moving in a mere circular orbit

is bound by Kepler's third law dr.

Rhodes

I am uneducated in the ways of science

you need to speak to me in a way I can

speak to the American public sorry um

after the initial impact the moon once

again attained what we call

gravitational equilibrium which

basically means that once an object is

in orbit there are certain mathematical

laws that dictate its stay in that orbit

instead the moon has moved again closer

to earth you told us the moon was stable

dr. Rhodes you said there were no

significant ramifications I was wrong

we are still in the process of figuring

out why but we believe that the shift is

related to the surges in electromagnetic

energy is the moon still moving closer

no our most recent measurements indicate

that it isn't but it is in a eccentric

elliptical orbit this is quite

significant what does that mean exactly

if you turn to the third page

the moon ordinarily is in a relatively

circular orbit it's now moving on a much

longer and narrower axis which means at

times the moon will be much closer to

Earth than we're used to and at other

times much further away and all that

affect us the asteroid that hit the moon

was a brown dwarf the remnant of a dead

star we believe its immense density is

what caused the original shift we don't

know why it shifted again but we cannot

rule out the possibility of further

electromagnetic surges on its return

orbit to earth stronger possibly yes

then what do you recommend we do dr.

Rhodes I mean this is not like some

hurricane roaring across the Atlantic

we're in uncharted territory

yes these events are completely

unprecedented you need to assemble a

team a think tank of experts utilizing

other observatories and agencies around

the world what do we tell the public

people are scared they want answers we

don't have any answers until we get a

handle on this the public and assumed

was a one time anomaly

all right let's release a statement but

we stay quiet on any potential danger

until we know what that is I'll breathe

the congressional leaders personally

you'll get whatever resources you need

dr. Rhodes me you're gonna head up this

team I want you here in Washington your

report to Renee Ferguson

get some answers quick I understand that

Maddie but there are other people who

can help no one as good as you look I

need people I can trust kids and I have

not spent a night apart Amanda died

you're not ready I'm not ready look Alex

I know it's a bad time maybe you could

ask them if we'll be okay we are a part

of something here that's gonna be

written about in the same context as

Newton and Einstein you know I know you

don't miss out on that

I don't understand why you have to go to

downstem we are using the European Space

Agency as our point of communication

with all the other teams worldwide and I

I just can't do it from here I need

their facilities who are you because I

know more about the moon than anybody

anybody so I'm told one will we'll be

back

you're lying you won't be wake until

it's finished we are going to get

married in three weeks aren't we yes so

I'll make sure that we're done by then

promise

make sure your on your shirts dad are

they're not gonna take you seriously if

all your shirts are wrinkly like usual

okay mr. wiseguy

what's this our first home run for good

luck

you're just like your mom you know that

you've had a rough go Edwin check

I'm sorry I have to go I want you to

know something I wouldn't leave if I

didn't trust you to be the man of the

house okay make sure not to be too long

okay then I won't don't listen to what

your grandpa tells you keep an eye on

things - okay cuz you know sometimes he

forgets and puts the milk in the

cupboard okay hey Jake if your little

sister wants to believe in the man in

the moon let her she needs it right now

I love you buddy

oh if you do

Hey are you crying

you forgot to say good bye buddy I

didn't forget mom didn't say goodbye hey

your mom never meant to do that I'm

gonna make you a deal okay pal

I will never leave without saying

goodbye

should I make a wish to the man the moon

everything will be okay I think that's a

great idea

really thanks I want to talk to you fuss

Alex yeah I'm I'm not sure I'm up for

this I like my quiet kind of set in my

ways

Lloyd you're the closest thing they have

to their mother I need your help alright

alright but I'm I'm not taking him

anywhere they're gonna watch a lot of TV

right here you got a lot of friends are

gonna help how Lloyd just just be a

grandfather

I guess I can do that much thank you

I'll call as soon as I get in okay guys

boy

be good to your grandpa keep me in the

loop

we'll coordinate from here we're

connected to every major Observatory and

Space Agency both here and abroad we're

working with teams in Russia Europe

Japan China and Australia

look Val star Galactica JPL NASA

European Space Agency the Russian Space

Agency and NORAD what's general Vaughn

doing here everyone's involved he's

chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

now

Wow I guess that nasty habit he had of

acquiring our work at NASA for the

military paid off huh dr. Kittner it's

been a while we're glad to have you here

and I was sorry to hear about your wife

Thank You Jenna Renee Ferguson director

Homeland Security pleasure man thank you

for doing this mm-hmm excuse me Alex I

want you to meet Jared he's who we were

on the phone with last week he's our

programming whiz and he's developed most

of our tracking software dr. Emerson and

his team will be up in a moment and dr.

Wilson's already on please hello Alex

nice to see you again hope to see you in

person soon London misses you so you

could ask the great Alex Kittner out of

his cave after all yeah well I didn't

want you having all the fun let me

introduce you to Franz henkaa Alex Ian

Jared dr. Rhodes Maddy miss Ferguson

Renee Ferguson director of Homeland

Security I appreciate the Assembly of

this meeting we would like to thank you

dr. Emerson dr. Wilson the president is

pleased with a cooperation we are

receiving from our friends across the

Atlantic we have some new information

yeah I'm seeing it now I've mapped out

the area where the surge and

electromagnetic energy was felt as you

can see the moon's position was at its

closest point when the spike occurred

something else

we've measured an increase in the moon's

velocity over to velocity yes you can

see it in the simulation it's incredible

whatever has lodged itself in the moon

has changed dramatically the way the

moon in Earth's magnetic fields interact

now there's something else as well yes

that piece of dwarf star would account

for not only the changes in magnetism

but for the huge change in the moon's

mass and if your theory is correct

orbital velocity will increase with each

pass which is an elongating elliptical

orbit in English please miss Ferguson

because the moon is heavier as it orbits

the earth gravity has a different effect

on it a slingshot effect occurs if you

will

causing the moon's velocity to increase

and its orbit to stretch and because of

that the orbit will narrow and could

bring it closer to Earth on each pass oh

I believe it will and on each near pass

these electromagnetic surges will get

worse

grids computers and anything electrical

could be wiped out how soon we'd

about 48 hours

thank you everyone we will reconvene at

a later time thank you

uh miss Ferguson it appears I'm gonna be

here a lot longer than I'd anticipated

would it be possible to bring my family

and I'd like them close yeah we'll put

someone on the right away I'll let you

know the details thank you mm-hmm

this is David David Hugh Kelly you how

are you I assume you've been following

all this

every Hannah man another Hugh I'd like

to write a piece for the paper I'm

working an angle I think you'd really

really be interested in I just heard

your ex-wife happens to be head of the

advisory team to the president

I've already tried that route Hugh it's

a no-go the woman will not talk to me

this might just be the biggest story in

history look David I didn't want to let

you go I mean it wasn't my decision it's

all economics he'll look at the video

people want to see this stuff they don't

wanna read it anymore but an Inside

Story an exclusive that's what makes us

journalists that's news

try again you won't be freelancing

anymore after this

thanks you appreciate it

hello this is Regina please leave a

message

hey it's me I'm sorry I didn't call

it's been a long day I miss you I miss

you too I know you're dr. Emerson

someone has to feed you and you don't

like broccoli what a wonderful surprise

that's such a wonderful surprise I'm on

my way to see my mother Munich she has

moved yes

why oh it's just like you to be closer

that could be blackouts worse even we

just don't know

should I be worried no no no

everything's okay it's the only time I

have to see her she's excited about the

baby not about the wedding

um yes the wedding too she wanted me to

marry a doctor she just didn't specify

what kind I'm taking this rain just for

a few days would you rather have me out

of you here never

he has your eyes I can feel it

he what amazing slides not 50% chance of

it maybe about me maybe

grandpa we're hungry there's mac and

cheese in the kitchen again we can order

pizza if you want really

as long as it's delivered cool gampa hmm

my tell us a story about mom

what story dad tells us stories he says

it keeps her with us I don't know any

stories about your mom

whoa hey buddy hi dad

everything okay yep I got another hit

yesterday a double that's great Jake I

wish I was there

I sure miss you I miss you too hundred

took a video I'll email it to yourself

off I can't wait to see I want the phone

Sadie's been a freak daddy when are you

coming home real soon pumpkin real soon

how's your grandpa doing fine he said we

could order pizza pizza huh Wow sounds

like you guys are having fun I guess so

hey can you put your Grampa on the phone

for a second I need to speak to him okay

grandpa my dad wants to talk to you hold

your horses

off you go

when the hell are you coming home

I was wrong you're a hell of a father I

can't take it that bad huh no they're

all right

look Lloyd the government is sending a

helicopter tomorrow to pick you guys up

and bring in Washington Washington I

just want them closer that's all this is

a bigger deal than what's in the news

isn't it

I don't know man that's what scares me

you know we're seeing a lot of things we

don't understand just be sure to get

some clothes pack and be ready to go in

the morning okay somebody's gonna call

you with the details I'm not leaving

here Alex and I'm certainly not going to

wash it

lloyd oh I'll get the kids ready don't

worry about it but I'm staying put

look Lloyd just make sure the kids are

on the helicopter okay please I got it

and Lloyd don't say anything about this

to anybody okay if they ask it's nothing

out of the ordinary all right sure

yeah okay

I need to call you back hi David did I

not make myself clear yes you did

so what are you doing here you know

don't even answer that I know what you

want I can't talk to the press you talk

to your ex-husband

Manny doesn't reason there's a reason

things worked out the way they did

between us I didn't just go out looking

for someone else was oh he's second to

you second to your career just stop

using that as an excuse your career was

just as important mine's not exactly on

the same trajectory though is it never

was

even I need this

oh sorry

please this this is bigger than anything

that ever happened between you and I

this is news the public deserves to know

the public deserves to know the facts

now that the media wants to

sensationalize okay we are still trying

to figure that out

why don't I believe you

hey little money took the liberty

still marlowe without apologies great

cheers Cheers pretty extraordinary

really I mean when you think about it

talking about a thousand years of

science being called into question well

I'm not sure I'm ready to question

science yet that's where you're too

stubborn Matty science should always be

questioned it's how we learn build from

our mistakes how are you it's been so

crazy I haven't had a chance to ask I'm

holdin up the kids pretty heartbreaking

you know they were very close with your

mom they loved her very much you know

they just they really miss her

sometimes I think they're stronger than

me you know

no I doubt that

I really wish I'd called too I mean I

would hear about you through friends and

time got away from us I guess right next

thing you know it's been too long and

you know maybe we should get back huh

dr. Wilson's Winfred e'en another surge

it's all over Europe but there's no

particular fact you should be online

teaming with your pleasure

Jared get me ready first

gonna be going I don't know is me coming

home your left eyes Kim aren't you

coming with no go upstairs and get your

bag when are we leaving tomorrow how are

we getting there just get your bag and

pack I don't know any more about all of

this than you do all right grandma

what can I run this I'll wrap it up

so it doesn't break how's that sound

okay okay go get you things

this image was just sent to us by dr.

Roland Emerson and his team campers in

France when asked by authorities how it

happened they said they floated floated

weightless we're getting hundreds of

reports throughout the European

continent same thing people animals

things floating up off the ground but

it's sporadic there's no pattern the UK

reported over three dozen commercial

airplanes unable to maintain little

altitude they were rising we lost 83

grids across this country what the hell

is going on people not so sure we have a

definitive answer mr. Anfield then give

me a theory at least that's what you

scientists do right come up with

theories sir I believe what we're

talking about what we are witnessing our

fluctuations in gravity uh-huh that's

impossible

I might have said the same thing general

in fact our entire sciences

astrophysicists is based on the possible

and the impossible with nothing in

between but there it is sir

possible somehow look I can't even

answer the questions on are you smarter

than a fifth grader but even I know the

moon is not capable of manipulating

gravity at this level it's true that

moon's mass is one-sixth aronia would

have to be close enough to almost touch

the earth were to have any reasonable

effect but the moon's mass changed when

the brown dwarf hit it yes we read your

report that was the reason for the

electromagnetic surges

but what the hell is that got to do with

cars floating into trees this is not

gravity in the traditional sense we're

used to sir but if what dr. Emerson

measured is accurate we're talking

energy levels never considered before

Jim I'm not following the basic law of

gravity is that smaller mass is

attracted to larger mass fifth grade

science right it's why my boys baseball

falls to the floor instead of the

ceiling why what is the largest object

around

planet

hey there speak English

men everyone speaks English

where you're headed

I was trying to make a phone call but I

keep losing reception

I was wondering actually if maybe I

could borrow your phone

can pay for it

none

it's a pretty cute accent

all right

well let's meet you

look if the electromagnetic energy is

powerful enough it will override local

gravity gravity is a relatively weak

force that's why a piece of metal will

cling to a magnet instead of falling to

the floor except these fluctuations are

isolated pockets not the entire planet

exactly think of what we saw as like a

magnetic storm moving across the globe

as the storm front moves these

electromagnetic surges are like

lightning strikes within that storm one

object might be affected while another

one is not if it's magnetic why isn't it

just affecting metal objects it doesn't

make any sense as I said before we are

all made up of the same electromagnetic

energy now larger objects will more

likely be affected people cars airplanes

but not an ant or a particle dust at

least not of these energy levels these

lightning strikes still lasts anywhere

from 5 minutes to 5 hours depending upon

the interaction between the magnetic

fields now huh

the moon is presently on a narrow

elliptical orbit and has yet to reach

its closest point on this orbital pass

when it moves on we can expect reprieve

of sorts but in the mean time we can

expect another event yes worse

yes have you figured out a way to

predict it calculating the Earth's

rotation against the moon's orbit Europe

is still vulnerable it'll continue

moving west and then us

we need to clear shipping lanes air

travel what the hell do we tell people

to do where do they seek shelter ground

all air traffic keep them out of their

cars indoors

wait a minute the world just can't come

to a stop the economic ramifications

alone would be catastrophic

unfortunately mr. Wran field we have no

other choice sir you can't hide from

gravity

telepresence we'll be there in five

minutes and make sure you get the rest

of the staff in there right now

I assure you have the right people

working on us they're the best in their

field I haven't exactly been right so

far they missed the damn asteroid in the

first place then Rhodes told us the moon

was stable there was no new danger as

did everybody else there's nobody to

blame here what we are witnessing is

unprecedented so they told us but I feel

more comfortable working with our own

NASA they're working with NASA general

they're working with everybody around

the world I don't think we're in a

position to question their expertise

what I question is putting a project

this important in the hands of civilians

my responsibility to protect this

country in the first rule of a military

is you don't put all your eggs in one

basket

I knew kitten when he was at NASA

stubborn he's also very good general if

this gets any worse is there anyone else

you'd want president likes he trusts dr.

Rhodes judgment for now you keep all our

options open if necessary

yeah Lloyd it's Alex

what the hell is going on listen the

helicopters on its way you're breaking

up it is not safe oh hello Lloyd can you

hear me

Huck Alex I can't hear you look listen

Lloyd whatever you do do not leave the

house until I call you do you understand

Alex Alex

although our part of the world this

moment is most vulnerable we must

emphasize that the intensity of these

gravity spikes duration and exact

location cannot be foreseen with any

accuracy seek shelter indoors turn off

all electronic equipment pad your walls

secure all loose objects if you have a

basement go to it immediately

do not stay outdoors

anything no not getting a thing yet

let's - I cannot exactly stop the train

Roland oh did you want me to jump this

is not funny

you haven't seen what's happened then

why is the Train operating if there's a

danger the pollutant has just been

issued they obviously haven't gotten it

please get off at the next stop and get

inside a small room somewhere

okay I will why bye

your own safety seek shelter indoors the

minute if you're all exhausted

No

are you

starting

look at the dog

losing Grint across the northeastern

parts of canada why it's hitting Europe

secondary static-charge

what's happening in Europe is car Wars

grandpa okay it's okay

what happened

yes I

so

don't satellite uplink Jared

walking on let's try and stay focused

people

dr. Kittner yes what is it the

helicopter that was enroute to pick up

your family went down it's electrical

failed from the surge your family was

not on board it went down we're doing

everything we can pick up your family as

quickly as possible for the entire Aires

in Ibaka

you

gravity was not affected in that area

just a static surge

I'm sure they're okay

we're just now getting the first images

people are beginning to pull themselves

up off the ground oh it's like a war

zone Mo's this is an absolute calamity

reports are now coming in from England

Germany to Egypt Ripple's is claiming to

ya weightless we've not yet gotten any

official word from the White House or

any European authorities I'm just

getting this in now off the wire the

surge as it is being referred to has

dissipated now authorities believe the

worst is in fact over as the vote is now

moving away from the planet the moon is

moving away from its closest point it's

over no it's not over the moon is still

on the narrow point of its axis we can

expect these surges this side of the

globe at least the next 24 hours we're

next

Jared how long till we get Europe envoy

where's Jared

he just said he had to leave I saw him

step out a few minutes ago

it's been coming in and out since this

morning give it a minute

Jared hey you want a drink I'm buying

sure I'll take the same

Thanks

you know we're all pretty shaken Jarrod

it's okay to talk about it

no I'm alright it is what it is tells us

chance anyway right what happened to

faith

look I know you think it's foolish dr.

rose but faith sometimes it's all I have

believe me Jared I'm not making fun

science has very much come under

question these last few days but look

right now it's all I have and we don't

know what's next but I can tell you

there are a lot of people counting on us

to try and figure it out I can't do that

without you

well it's not just science being put in

a question right now well let's hope

we're both wrong

what do you say we go back to work and

try and find some answers

okay this wasn't a bad idea by the way

oh hello

Lisa's coming back online you just in

time

Roland's Alma stuff

Washington hello hello Maddy is

everything okay over there

yes we only felt residual effects a

static mostly some blackouts you and not

so lucky there some hard-hit areas

across the continent who we weren't it

directly but some of our systems have

been badly damaged and we can expect the

same here over the next several hours

but that's not all and it's far worse

Alex we use the equation on the changed

moon orbit velocity with the newest data

we received from jor-el it's being

uploaded to you right now have you

received it yet I've got in here good

what you seeing as a simulation of the

way the orbit will be changing what's

its new velocity we're far too

conservative in our estimates the moon

has moved into an even narrower

elliptical orbit the hyper mass will not

escape our gravity and we want to escape

it

after this information

dr. Rhodes come with me

tell the president I'm on my way with

dr. Rhodes we need to see him

immediately

make sure the Tom Ram field general

monitor

Homeland Security has issued a new

warning now they do not feel the event

is over there may in fact be a new

threat on this side of the Atlantic

we're getting new reports now hundreds

of people in Germany have been affected

witnesses claiming to have been lifted

into trees then falling suddenly when

the event has ended casualties are

mounting similar reports in England and

elsewhere now we're being told the same

can be expected here if one wants

evidence they simply need to look

outside and see how big the moon looks

hovering like a huge bird of prey world

waits not knowing where another surge

might strike the moon hovers huge in the

sky closer than it's ever been before

authorities have issued warnings for the

entire North American continent people

continue to take precautions but how

does one hide from gravity

this is absolutely certain yes how long

the moon will make impact with earth in

39 days

what happens to earth

mr. president an asteroid nine miles

across killed the dinosaurs

an asteroid 90 miles wide would vaporize

the oceans and sterilize this planet

the moon is more than 2200 miles in

diameter

there won't be a Planet Earth

Oh

you
