FADE IN: EXT. LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LABORATORY - DAY - 1500 HR'S INT. CRAY SUPER COMPUTER LABORATORY - OFFICE AREA DR.'s BRADY and HUNTER are reviewing a computer report removed from the CRAY SUPER COMPUTER. They appear upset at what they find. DR. LIAM BRADY is the Chief Scientist, a nice looking man in his thirties. DR. JENNIFER HUNTER is a beautiful lady in her twenties and is Brady's Protégé. BRADY (studying the report) Look Jenny, just as we both suspected. Damn, who do we tell? (hands the report to Hunter Looks like it's starting to enter the asteroid belt. HUNTER When your father first discovered the Phantom Planet it was only a piece of a mathematical equation run over and over again on the old IBM 7090 Computers. Now with the Cray, we can prove it to the world that it does exist. BRADY We need to notify the Director so we can obtain Federal support. HUNTER I think we need to find Noah. BRADY I don't think we have enough time to build an Ark that will hold several billion people. HUNTER How much time do we have? BRADY (laughing) I wouldn't hazard a guess. How do you predict the effect a planet the size of earth is going to have on us when it passes as close as the moon? HUNTER What are we looking at, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and volcanoes? BRADY (serious) The last time this happened the earth was completely covered with water. So I expect as much this time. HUNTER How close will the planet come to Earth? BRADY About five hundred thousand miles. HUNTER How long will we feel the effect of the gravitational pull? BRADY I don't know? The Planet has the most effect on our oceans. HUNTER Now I know why all the ancient calendars ended in the year 2,000 AD. BRADY The floods are starting now and the intensity of all the current earthquake activity will increase. I would have to say by late 1999 the earth will be flooded! CUT TO: EXT. F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS WASHINGTON D.C. INT. F.B.I. SPECIAL UNIT - OFFICE Agent's BRIAN SCOTT and BARBIE BASSO are reviewing a report from the Agent in Charge of the San Francisco California office. Scott is holding an eight by ten glossy of a star system with a circle around a small dot. Brian Scott is a very nice looking man in his late thirties. Barbie Basso looks like a model and is in her late twenties. BRIAN SCOTT PHD. An esteem Egyptoligist of the highest order has been with the FBI for over ten years and is called in on special cases where this background is necessary. He is also a specialist in Applied Criminal Psychology and has published papers on this subject. He has two years in pre-med and is qualified for Clinical forensic Specialties. BARBIE BASSO MD. A Doctor of Forensic Medicine and is rated one of the best in this field. She has been with the FBI for over six years and is called in on special cases where this background is required. A specialist in Applied Criminal Psychology and Criminal Behavior. She has been Scott's partner for the last three years. SCOTT (studying the picture) According to the report this is suppose to be Planet MARDUK. (hands the picture to Basso) Looks like a vanilla type star to me. BASSO Marduk is what the SUMERIANS called their holy planet. In all their writings they refer to an orbit taking thirty-six hundred years. SCOTT Are you familiar with the LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LABORATORY, in California? BASSO Yes of course, it's one of those think tanks where research is done on special government projects. SCOTT We're flying out to California tomorrow. Two Scientists at Lawrence are requesting F.B.I. support on a very secret project. BASSO (curious) Shouldn't they be calling the National Security Agency? SCOTT Director Smith said we have the duty. If you want to ask him why, be my guest. BASSO How much should I pack? SCOTT Enough for a week. How much do you know about the Sumerians? BASSO The Sumerian civilization Started about five hundred thousand years ago. It was very advanced and the leaders were known as gods. The legend goes that every time the mysterious planet Marduk appeared, the earth was rejuvenated. Of course after a complete physical change had taken place on earth. SCOTT Do you cater to that mythology? BASSO I think it's just a fairy tale to keep the troops in line. SCOTT Is there any proof that Marduk has caused damage to earth when it comes within five hundred thousand miles. BASSO They elude to "The Great Deluge" as being caused by the proximity of the two. If Noah hadn't built his Ark, we may have had a problem. CUT TO: EXT. LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LABORATORY - DAY - 0900 HR'S INT. CRAY SUPER COMPUTER LABORATORY - OFFICE AREA DR.'s BRADY and HUNTER are reviewing computer generated pictures with Scott and Basso. BRADY (studying the picture) Look Agent Scott, this is the location of Marduk ten, twenty and thirty years ago. (hands the picture to Scott) Looks like Marduk will be affecting the earth's position within the next year. HUNTER When his father first discovered Marduk, in the early seventies, it was only a calculation based on the find of a celestial body causing HALEY'S PLANET to wobble and slightly change it's course. But as you can see now, this Planet is hell bent to rendezvous with the planet earth. BRADY We need to notify the State Department so they can start trying to figure out how they're going to tell the American people and the people of the world. HUNTER Dr. Brady and I have gone over the computer runs over and over again and it tells the same story. Marduk will cause the Earth big problems! BRADY I was hoping we would get more help from the HUBBELL TELESCOPE support group but, they've been very quite about this project. SCOTT How much time do we have? BRADY I really don't know, six months, nine months, I've no idea what the gravitational pull of Marduk will do to us. BASSO Are we talking ....end of the world? HUNTER We really don't know, we're just throwing up the caution flag. BRADY We need to tell our people ..... of the impending danger so they can start making preparations. BASSO Preparations for what? We are all in the same boat that's going to sink! SCOTT What we need is for you and HUNTER to establish the best and worst case scenarios so we can take this back to the State Department and get them going on a plan! BRADY How soon do you need it? BASSO Yesterday! HUNTER We'll have to work all night! (A beat). You can pick it up tomorrow morning! CUT TO: EXT. LIVERMORE CALIFORNIA - NIGHT - 1900 HR'S INT. HOLIDAY INN DINNING ROOM Scott and Basso are having dinner and he's just poured another glass of wine for her. SCOTT (placing the wine bottle back in the carrier) Tell me more about the Sumerians. BASSO (smiling) I finally have your interest, hey! SCOTT Yes you do, now give me the summarized version. BASSO According to all the scriptures that have been translated by our scholars, places them here, the first time about four-hundred thousand years ago. SCOTT That was about the time of the last major Ice Age, right? BASSO Actually it was at the end of an Ice Age over four-hundred thousand years ago. SCOTT Where did they come from? BASSO They came from their planet .... Marduk. SCOTT Were they Humanoids? BASSO The scriptures say they were just like you an I. SCOTT How many landed that first time? BASSO I don't know? Why is it important? SCOTT No, just curious. Go ahead. BASSO Well anyway, they had their special gods for just about everything. They finally migrated to what they called the "Lower World", or what is now the tip of Africa. SCOTT What were they looking for? BASSO The Sumerians that were classified as "Gods" were actually referred to as the "Nefilim's". Anyway, they were looking for slaves and precious metals and stones. They decided that it was necessary to create a man that was a beast of burden, slave, serf or whatever you want to call them. So they tried cross breeding with the local indigenous species, "Cro-Magnon's". SCOTT Cave men? BASSO Yes, but they were not happy in what the offspring turned into. So they took some of the Hybrids and made them work in the deep Gold Mines of South Africa, so they would be out of sight. SCOTT So what did they do? BASSO They abandoned the Hybrids packed there bags and moved back to the Middle East. Scott's Cellular Phone starts to ring and he removes it from his jacket pocket. SCOTT Hello, this is Agent Scott. (A BEAT). Yes, I understand, we'll be there in fifteen minutes. BASSO Director Smith? SCOTT No, it was Dr. Brady. He was just called by one of his associates stationed at the Goldstone Radio Telescope Complex in Owens Valley California. They've received a transmission from a celestial body in the approximate location of Marduk. BASSO How many transmissions. SCOTT Many, Brady want's us to fly out to Goldstone with him and Dr. Hunter first thing in the morning. BASSO What language is the transmission in? SCOTT He said it sounds like "Akkadian". One of the Sumerian Dialects. CUT TO: EXT. OWENS VALLEY CALIFORNIA - DAY - 0900 HR'S INT. GOLDSTONE RADIO TELESCOPE ROOM Scott and Basso are sitting with DR's Brady and Hunter listening to a radio broadcast coming in from outer space. Dr. Brady turns up the volume. TRANSMISSION (V.O.) (Monotone voice) Te.me h. se. te...... Brady turns down the volume so the voice speaking in an ancient language is barely heard. BRADY My associate had The National Security Agency run this through their language computer system and this is the translation. (Brady turns on a tape recorder) Remember this is a very rough translation, and may have to be cleaned up later. COMPUTER VOICE "Remember thy words in Antiquity.... The waters saw thee, O Lord, and shuddered...... Thine splitting sparks went forth. The sound of thine thunder was rolling; Lightning's lit up the world; The Earth was agitated and it quaked. (Then) in the waters was thy course, Thine Paths in the deep waters; The southern frozen world may be breaking up; Ready thine Ark ........ The seventh passing of the holy planet is upon you!..." CUT TO: EXT. OWENS VALLEY CALIFORNIA - DAY - 1100 HR'S INT. GOLDSTONE EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE ROOM Scott and Basso are sitting with Dr's Brady and Hunter listening to the translated tape received from the NSA. Dr. Brady turns down the volume. BRADY (somber) Well folks there it is what do we do now. SCOTT The part of the tape where it mentions the southern frozen world, what does it mean? BASSO According to the Sumerian scriptures the southern frozen world meant Antarctica. You see, when Marduk came by the earth the gravitational effect caused the ice sheets in Antarctica to start breaking up and dumping into the Indian Ocean, causing all the ocean's to rise some sixty feet, all over the world. This effect caused enormous thunder storms hurricanes, typhoons thus the deluge! SCOTT Is it possible this message is a hoax? HUNTER Of course, anything's possible but the NSA said it has all the ear marks of being authentic. CUT TO: EXT. ANTARCTICA ICE STATION SETH - 0500 HR'S INT. ICE STATION SETH CONTROL CENTER Dr. Ivan Leshkanskya is holding the microphone and talking to his support people in Patagonia. He's in his middle fifties bearded and having a very heavy Slavic accent. LESHKANSKYA (Desperate) I need support here, the Ice.. is starting to break up. That never happens until the spring. We did some core samples and it's breaking up at a depth where it never breaks up. The depth of the ice base is over 1000 feet, and it's now breaking up at five hundred feet. We need to be ... rescued, or we'll be in the ocean in twenty four hours. Over. SUPPORT STAFF (V.O.) Ice station Seth ...you have a very bad storm front moving in on you in less than fifteen hours, we have nothing here that can rescue you for several days. Dr. Morrow said to pack and move inland as soon as possible, find the highest point and stay there till we can get to you. over. DR. LESHKANSKYA Ok, we'll do the best we can, over and out. CUT TO: EXT. OWENS VALLEY CALIFORNIA - NIGHT INT.

BRADY They're in trouble, what do we do? CUT TO: EXT. OWENS VALLEY CALIFORNIA - DAY INT. GOLDSTONE EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE ROOM Scott and Basso are sitting with DR's Brady and HUNTER listening to the distress call coming in from Anartica. BRADY (somber) Well folks, my colleagues tell me this Planet will be coming within a million miles of earth. SCOTT Does this present the same level of Danger a large celestial body like a Planet will pose on earth. BRADY According to the data we received when we had the last large Planet do a close pass on earth the danger level has increased by a level of at least five magnitudes. BASSO Is it possible this planet passing Will just cause minor damage? HUNTER Agent Basso this is a first for all of us and we are at odds with each other as to what the worst case scenario will be. CUT TO: EXT. ANTARCTICA ICE STATION SETH - 0600 HR'S INT. ICE STATION SETH CONTROL CENTER HEAVY SNOWSTORM AND WINDS Dr. Ivan Leshkanskya is holding the microphone and talking to his support people in Patagonia. LESHKANSKYA (Desperate) Please send help .... SUPPORT STAFF (V.O.) Ice station Seth ...a very heavy storm front has moved in on you and there is nothing we can do for you until it clears. DR. LESHKANSKYA Ok, we'll do the best we can, over and out. CUT TO: EXT. OWENS VALLEY CALIFORNIA - DAY - 1200 HR'S INT. GOLDSTONE RADIO TELESCOPE ROOM Scott and Basso are sitting with DR's Brady and HUNTER listening to the last signal received from the NSA via Ice Station Seth support group.. BRADY There is nothing we can do. SCOTT Dr. Brady tell me more about this planet, what do you call it? BRADY They're calling it "Planet X". SCOTT I think Planet "X" sounds better than Marduke. BRADY Planets have orbits, from where ever They come from to their journey around the sun. Many have expected arrivals and departures, documented well ahead of their returns. Some, however are not so easy to predict. Planet X has many peculiar aspects. One has been the orbit and trajectory. Ephemeris' are numerical estimates of heavenly position, based upon a number of observations. SCOTT Are you trying to say it acts more like a space ship than a Planet? BRADY The organization that has probably Calculated the most Ephemeris' for Planet X is JPL, they have calculated 26 Ephemeris'! The obvious question is why so many? BASSO Is it possible this planet is being navigated by someone or something. BRADY Can't they repeat the process that has been done so many times before, and come up with one, or maybe only two Ephemeris, for the entire journey of Planet X? But to have 26, what's going on? SCOTT You sound concerned. BRADY Yes I am. The orbits and ephemerides Include the rocket-like effects usually associated with active Planets. BASSO You didn't answer my question Dr. Brady, do you think the planet is under someone's control? HUNTER Agent Basso this is a first for all of us and we must be very careful what we say. If we say the wrong thing we have lost our credibility for the remainder of our career. This is what we do, our credibility is everything. BRADY Normally, these effects cannot be Determined accurately with fewer than three apparitions so they are rarely used for one apparition long-period planet. While the formal errors of these non-gravitational parameters are quite small, realistic errors are probably several times larger. HUNTER Given the short observation interval and the relatively large radial non- gravitational acceleration noted, one cannot escape the conclusion that Planet X is the size of earth, a conclusion consistent with the recent radar results reported by JPL. BASSO You guys are starting to scare me. Do you know the size of the orbit? BRADY The alternative of invoking the effects of non-gravitational forces on the Planet seems very unlikely at the Planet's great heliocentric distance. As noted on IAUC 6287, the Planet's last perihelion passage occurred some 3600 years ago, while its return after 1997 will be 3500 years . HUNTER If the influence of non-gravitational forces as the Planet approaches perihelion in 1997 remains negligible, the currently available Ephemeris should have a maximum error no larger than 2 arc minutes. One significant change came in the months from the end of February to the beginning of April. This was the period of time that Planet X was passing Jupiter. BRADY Pictures prior to the passing, where the Planet was spinning on its axis more or less toward us. The retrograde action of the image appears to evidence that the Planet was spinning clockwise with its northern pole facing us. Following the passing of Jupiter, the Planet passed a mere three million miles the other side of Jupiter BASSO Have you found any occultation? BRADY Yes, the report I read this morning said the Occultation Of Star PPM200723 On The Night Of October Fourth And Fifth, the Lowell Observatory posted the possible occultation of a mag 9 star by Planet X in October 1996 along a path from SW-NE somewhere across the western US. This event is of interest for permitting a direct determination of the size of Planet X. Therefore the occultation has provided a good estimate of the size of Planet X. SCOTT What about earthquakes as the Planet nears? BRADY Fault-free earthquakes are not confined to fault lines, but occur in many diverse locations. This assertion is based on the assumption that Type II EQs are electro magnetic in nature. The phone rings and Dr. Brady picks it up listens and mumbles something to HUNTER as he turns on the office TV. Scott and Basso glance at each other. BRADY I was just informed there's a special on a Reno Nevada channel we may be interested in. By the way, downtown Reno is under four feet of water. The Truckee River overflowed it's banks after the last storm. SCOTT Dr. Brady go for it. The TV picture comes into focus showing a picture of a celestial body taken by the Hubble Telescope. The news-person is Hank Willis of Station KNXC Reno Nevada . HANK WILLIS UFO stirs up terrestrial tempest, Believers hint at alien mystery; skeptics see flaws and fakery Hubbel Space Telescope images of the Planet. The picture on you screen is said to show material being sloughed away from the object (camera gets close-up of newsman) It sounds like a story line straight from Outer limits": Pictures, taken by amateur astronomers, turn up a mysterious light accompanying a Planet through space. True believers get the word out over the Internet and talk radio, while the scientific establishment tries to explain away the discrepancies. The war of words soon escalates, with charges of cover-ups and counter-charges of fakery. Scott and Basso exchange questioning glances and HUNTER throws up her arms in despair. HANK WILLIS (cont.) The 'truth is out there' , about 271 million miles out there, in fact, and getting closer. Rumors are surrounding Planet X as it swings around the sun and heads back out into deep space. Much of the controversy focuses on a photograph taken by a Houston amateur astronomer and posted on the Internet in mid-November. It shows the Phantom Planet with a bright object nearby a feature that has come to be known as the "Saturn-like object" because of what seems to be an oblique ring jutting out from each side of the circle. Houston contend this was a large, mysterious sphere moving in tandem with the Planet. Further claims soon surfaced from various sources: that the object was sending out radio signals, that it was a hollow spaceship, that the government was withholding photos of the Planet and its "companion" taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, even that a prominent unnamed astronomer would confirm the companion's existence last week. BASSO I wonder who the "prominent Astronomer" is? HUNTER If you guess me or HUNTER you will be half way there. BASSO You HUNTER? HUNTER No, not me. SCOTT How close did you say Planet X will come to the earth. BRADY Planet X will come within 500 thousand Miles of Earth. At its brightest, the Planet could rival the star Sirius although observations will be complicated by the fact that its projected position will be relatively close to the sun. The best viewing should come right around April Fool's Day. Scott's cell phone rings and he takes it out of his jacket pocket. SCOTT "Scott" (A Beat) Yes of course, ok goodbye. Director Smith wants us to fly to DC as soon as possible. He also wants HUNTER and Dr. Brady to come. BASSO (looking at Brady and HUNTER) Don't worry the FBI will pickup the tab for your flight and expenses. I'll call and get the reservations started. SCOTT No need to do that, he's sending a Gulfstream III to pick us up at China Lake. Brady's cell phone rings and he takes it out of his jacket pocket. BRADY "Brady" (A Beat) are you sure of that. Ok if you need me for the next few days you can contact me in Washington DC. I have an invitation from the Justice Department for a Pow-Wow. Ok Good-bye. SCOTT Are earthquakes the first indication of widespread damage? And will we be able to hear them before they start? HUNTER The theory is based on the draining Of surge charges. Because the draining Occurs from all levels of the atmosphere at once. During the process, the apex of the vortex is being pulled strongly in one direction by a surge of the lower altitude charge, the vortex may lean, or bow in the direction of the surge. SCOTT I think I'm following you, but please go on. HUNTER This condition may produce a megaphone -type effect which announces the temblor to those in the direction of the surge. If the epicenter was west of the surge, the noise would travel east. Those west of the epicenter wouldn't hear warning "groans". BRADY Geographically, if the epicenter was in Burbank, and a surge of charge came from the Inland Empire, persons working at JPL may hear warning groans, those at Caltech would not. BASSO What about Tsunamis? BRADY Off-shore winds push the charges out over the water and they remain there until they are able to return to ground. The same charged air mass can move back over land by later on-shore winds, or drain through the sea water to ground. When the charged air mass drains through the sea water, the potential for tsunamis greatly increases. Type II EQ tsunamis occur when the epicenter of an EQ is located in shallow water, with the major wave moving in the direction of deeper water. SCOTT Sounds like we have no where to go. HUNTER Recently, a tsunami-generating earthquake whose epicenter was in water near Japan, caused vertical earth movement and generated tsunamis. SCOTT I had no idea you people had so much data on Tsunami's. BRADY Elementary my dear Watson. BASSO Yeah, right. What is the greatest threat, Earthquakes or Tsunamis? HUNTER Both are equally a high threat in this scenario. BRADY If a Type II earthquake drains in too Deep of water, the weight of the water Minimizes vertical movement, as does the fact that the waveform reflects off surfaces somewhat perpendicular to the source. If the sea floor is flatter (as in deeper water), no wave reflection occurs, hence the threat of tsunami activity decreases considerably. BRADY The call I received a few minutes ago from the National Security Agency said the outer space message has been authenticated and originated over one hundred and twenty million miles in deep space! CUT TO: EXT. F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS WASHINGTON D.C. INT. F.B.I. SPECIAL UNIT - OFFICE Agent's SCOTT and BASSO are reviewing a report with Director Smith. Scott is holding an eight by ten glossy print of Planet X. Dr's Brady and Hunter are looking on. SCOTT (studying the picture) According to the report this is suppose to be Planet X. (hands the picture to Director Smith) DIRECTOR SMITH Looks like a star to me. BASSO Planet X has an orbit taking thirty-six hundred years. DIRECTOR SMITH Dr. Brady, is discovering a new Planet a common event in your business? BRADY We expect to discover a Pulsar but never one in our Solar System. DIRECTOR SMITH Pulsar? HUNTER Radio signals from the constellation Virgo led a Penn State professor of Astronomy to discover the first planets ever known outside our solar system. He discovered the planets in 1991 and confirmed their existence in 1994. BRADY Penn State used the worlds largest Radio telescope to time the radio signals coming from a distant tiny star in the constellation Virgo, 7,000 trillion miles from Earth. These measurements helped him to determine that two of the planets are similar in mass to Earth and the other is about the mass of the Moon. DIRECTOR SMITH Amazing. If you can find a lone planet 7,000 trillion miles from Earth, how did we miss Planet X? HUNTER Until that discovery, the only known planets were in our solar system. The work suggests that planets may be more common in the universe than astronomers had previously thought. BRADY It also will help astronomers to Understand how planets, including Earth, are formed. HUNTER The planets Penn State found probably don't support life because the tiny pulsar star they orbit bombards them with deadly radiation. BRADY However, his discovery increases the Chances that somewhere in the universe planets may exist that, like Earth, are capable of supporting life. HUNTER The discovery of a Jupiter mass planet in orbit around the solar type star 51 Peg has been reported by an Observatory in Geneva October of this year. The claim is based on 18 months of precise Doppler measurements done with the ELODIE spectrograph. DIRECTOR SMITH Whoa! You guys are going over my head. Ok, I'm convinced, there is a very high Possibility we have a whole series of planets being discovered daily, but if I understand this right, Planet X is in our solar System, right! HUNTER Yes, but the orbit is over 3600 years in length. DIRECTOR SMITH Ok, I need to know the level of threat we will have on Earth when Planet X comes close? BRADY/HUNTER We don't know! DIRECTOR SMITH Ok, give me a worst case scenario. BRADY We believe the last time Planet X came by it, Changed the world dramatically. DIRECTOR SMITH Give me an example. BRADY Ok, ....the environment of Antarctica is considered to be one of the most extreme environments in the world, however, Antarctica did not always have the adverse climate that it does today. Several million years ago, Antarctica, South America, and Australia were joined together in one large continental mass. DIRECTOR SMITH So that was caused by Planet X passing? HUNTER Not exactly. As this continental mass began to drift south, it also began to break apart though a process known as plate techtonics. Eventually this mass broke into the three separate continents seen today, and Antarctica settled into it's present location. SCOTT Your saying the passing of Planet X will Further change the configuration of the earth? BRADY Exactly! HUNTER Once there, the currents surrounding Antarctica created a process known as circumpolar circulation which thermally isolated the continent. BRADY Due to the fact that the warmer, northern currents could no longer reach Antarctica, the continent itself and it's surrounding Southern Ocean began to cool. DIRECTOR SMITH So your saying this Planet X, whenever it passes the Earth, say every four thousand years changes Earth dramatically? HUNTER Yes, that's what were saying. BRADY Over millions of years, the ice caps that one associates with Antarctica began to form, and the stage was set for a very cold and extreme Antarctica climate. DIRECTOR SMITH Worst case scenario is, we will start Another Ice Age, that is if any of us survives, right? BRADY/HUNTER Right! DIRECTOR SMITH Look, I will take this to the highest Level of government and see what we can do. To keep this under control I have designated this project Top Secret as a National Security item. From now on we will refer to this project as the Bright Star Project. Now I want all of you to go back to Goldstone and see if you can further authenticate the message from deep space. CUT TO: EXT.

GOLDSTONE RADIO TELESCOPE OP'S ROOM Scott and Basso are sitting with Dr's Brady and Hunter listening to a radio broadcast. BRADY The National Security Agency picked up this radio transmission from London England. RADIO "Somewhere in the cold vacuum of space it hurtles towards us. It's moving faster than any earth space probe and is as big as Earth. The last time it visited the inner solar system mankind was about to invent writing. It is the Phantom Planet. At the time of its discovery it was some 250 times brighter than Haley's Planet at the same distance. It won't even reach perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun, until April. The current orbital elements for this Planet suggest that it last visited our neighborhood of space some 3600 years ago. However that number is speculative since any number of unknown events in the last four millennia could have "disturbed" the Planets orbit. Will it hit us? Maybe, maybe not! HUNTER As you can see, the news is now global. Scott and Basso are sitting with Dr's Brady and Hunter listening to a radio broadcast when a beautiful young lady walks into the room and sits down next to HUNTER. HUNTER (cont.) I want all of you to meet Tara, a friend of mine who has had a registered alien three experience. We have invited her here to answer any questions being entertained by the FBI. BASSO Oh dear, this is a first for me, but here it goes. Tara, I'm pleased to meet you and my question is do you believe we will be visited by aliens from Planet X?. TARA Extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth since the beginning of time. There were the electrical wars in pre-Lemurian times and later, in Atlantis and Egypt, extraterrestrials visited in great numbers. In Atlantis they helped with crystal technologies and with the building of the great crystal, which was the power source for the entire civilization of Atlantis. SCOTT Are they friendly? TARA Of course. They think we are a hostile race. Extraterrestrials have come from our galaxy as well as from distant galaxies. It is important at this point to say that I believe, based on the guidance I have received, that all extraterrestrial contact with humans is of a positive nature. BASSO Do you think this is just another visit? TARA Most of the civilizations are far Beyond humanity on technological and spiritual levels. SCOTT Your saying there is nothing here that they want? TARA One of the basic laws they follow is that of respecting the free choice of humans and never interfering unless they have been asked for help. BASSO Do you think, if there is a space ship following the planet, that they will make contact with us? TARA Yes, I believe they will make contact with us. SCOTT Why now, why didn't they make contact years ago? TARA One of the reasons there have been so many sightings of UFOs in recent years is that the inhabitants of Earth have moved into a fourth- dimensional consciousness, and the planet has moved into sacred status. BASSO Your saying we were not ready, but now we are prime? TARA Yes, but some of us will not be ready. These are Solar system-wide events. Each of the planets of this solar system could be likened to a chakra of the Sun or the being that ensouls the solar system, Helios. When one chakra goes through a major transformation it affects all the other chakras. BASSO You say some of us will be ready and others will not, what do you mean? TARA If you have made yourself aware of all The new world prophecies that have been made in the last twenty years you will be ready. SCOTT Prophecies? Give me an example. TARA The increase of earthquakes and storms in the coastal area gives you A very good hint that you need to move your families inland as far as possible. BASSO So your saying if you live in California, you should move your family to Colorado? TARA Exactly! BASSO Do you think we are being monitored as we speak? TARA The extraterrestrials are aware of this transformation the Earth is going through and are very interested in watching it and in helping humanity to move into the new age. SCOTT You mean they may be arriving on Earth to rescue us? TARA Yes. Many of the great rescues in Earth's past evolution have occurred because of extraterrestrial help. SCOTT You said rescues, what rescues? TARA Earth people in one form or another have been rescued every 3600 years. BASSO I think I follow you. Every time Planet X comes near the Earth, they rescue people before the worst of the natural disasters begin to occur. TARA You are very perceptive Agent Basso. BASSO What do they look like? TARA One important thing to understand is that not all extraterrestrials have a human appearance. Our particular kind of physical body is called the Adam Kadmon type, as mentioned in the Hebrew scriptures. There are many other types of bodies that God has created. SCOTT I'm with you, go ahead.
