:32:04
Same transmission, same frequency,
same polytonal harmonics.
:32:08
There's no denying the similarities
of these two events.
:32:11
The moment a window of opportunity
opens in that storm...
:32:14
we have to make contact with
this man Rome.
:32:17
Because of his background, he's the most
likely to comprehend what we tell him.
:32:22
- Bring Bachman here immediately.
- Why?
:32:26
What Mr. Rome is going to hear
is best heard from somebody he trusts.
:32:55
- What's the matter?
- Abell woke us up.
:32:57
Said it was something with the ice block.
:33:02
- What happened?
- I've never seen anything like this before.
:33:06
Looks like it was created
in a volcanic environment.
:33:10
Looks like a big old clam.
:33:12
A giant mollusk that ate Antarctica.
:33:16
- It's not a mollusk.
- What is it?
:33:18
Don't touch it.
:33:21
You all right?
:33:22
You okay?
:33:24
It's got some sort of electrical charge to it.
:33:27
I'd say it's igneous rock
formed by some sort of eruption.
:33:30
My guess is rhyolite, or basalt.
:33:33
It didn't come from Earth,
it came from space.
:33:35
It's a meteorite.
:33:36
Meteorites don't broadcast radio signals.
:33:38
The signal's harmonics
are exactly like aircraft retrieval data.
:33:43
It's a black box.
:33:45
First I thought it was a location bounce...
:33:47
for celestial navigation,
but it's a little simplistic.
:33:50
Then Grisham mentioned it seemed
like a beacon, and that's when it hit me.
:33:53
This came here by mistake,
and the signal's meant for whoever lost it.
:33:57
- Aliens.
- This is nuts.
:33:59
Maybe not, Michael. It all makes sense.
