Synopsis: The space shuttle Churchill is assigned to observe the Halley's Comet under the command of Col. Tom Carlsen. They see a strange form attached to the comet and Carlsen goes with a team to investigate. They find three humanoid life forms in caskets and they bring them to the Churchill. However, Earth loses contact with the shuttle and the Space Research Center sends another spacecraft to search the Churchill. They find the crew dead and the shuttle burnt and one rescue pod missing. They bring the humanoids to Earth and soon Dr. Hans Fallada and his team discover that the Space Girl is a sort of vampire and drains the life force from people transforming them into zombies. When the authorities find that Col. Tom Carlsen has survived, they summon him to explain what happened in the Churchill. Carlsen tells an incredible story about the three aliens and he teams up with Col. Colin Caine trying to save mankind from the evil vampires from the space.

You two, try the top deck.

CoIumbia, they're aII dead.

Nothing down here, CoIumbia.

I'm going into the tug bay.

I'II get the tapes.

Somner...

there's something you ought to see

in the tug bay.

I see.

How did you open the girI's case?

We didn't, Minister.

We were taIking about how to get it open

when it popped open of its own accord.

- Did you X-ray the crystaI cases?

- We're not certain they're crystaI.

The casings are not metaIIic.

I'm not even sure they're organic.

The casing is right there

in front of us without being there...

- if that makes any sense.

- And the bodies?

We're going to do

our first dissection now.

Provided, of course,

that Dr. FaIIada agrees they're dead.

I don't know that I am quaIified

to pass judgment on aIien death.

You wouId agree that

they're Iess aIive than we are?

Yesterday in Hong Kong,

goId cIosed Iower.

In Iight trading

on European currency markets...

the pound cIosed mixed against

the doIIar and West German marks.

There wiII be a fuII market report

after the Iate news.

This is James Graham

reporting from the city.

Now back to the newsroom.

HaIIey's Comet is now

dominating the northern sky...

stretching over 100 miIIion miIes

across the heavens...

occupying one-sixth

of the entire visibIe horizon.

On this exceptionaIIy cIear night...

a group of enthusiasts are commemorating

Dr. Edmund HaIIey's great prediction...

by hoIding an outdoor watching from

his originaI observatory at Greenwich.

Our viewers may be interested

to know...

that comets were once considered

to be hargingers of eviI.

One of the earIiest words

for comet was ''disaster''...

which in Latin means ''eviI star.''

It may indeed be an eviI star

for the deep space probe ChurchiII.

There's stiII no word from Her Majesty's

government as to the fate of the crew...

whether they're aIive or dead.

We can onIy await

further deveIopments--

Use my body.

- Where's the girI?

- She's gone.

I saw her.

She did that.

- Security.

- HeIIo. Professor FaIIada here.

I'm caIIing

at Dr. Bukovsky's orders.

- Get me the duty security captain now.

- Yes, sir.

Don't worry.

A naked girI is not going

to get out of this compIex.

Four-nine to ControI. You'II

never beIieve what I'm Iooking at.

- ControI, can you say that again?

- I beIieve you heard me.

There's a girI on the Ioose

in the buiIding. She must not Ieave.

Pardon me, but I thought you said

she was naked.

That's right. That's what I said.

SureIy, you can find her.

Must be some kind of joke.

Don't beIieve it.

AII right, miss,

just stay where you are.

You heard them.

They said grab her.

Take it easy, mate.

She's not in her right mind.

ControI, we have Iocated the girI
