Any chance it might survive re-entry?

Locked in tear, Colonel,

that's a big negative.

We'd like to request a volunteer

to jump over to it.

Again for the record,

it's strictly volunteered.

It could be very dangerous as hell.

What do you say, Ray?

I got it.

No! Me!

You're the command pilot, Jason.

You shouldn't be taking risks like that.

Bullshit! I'm out the door, Houston.

All I hear is heavy breathing out there, pal.

So, how does it look to you?

Big.

Very descriptive.

Very big!

You always had a way with words!

Listen, Ray...

Check all the sensors

for any kind of radiation.

I'm in range now.

Well, there's no significant infrared.

It's been cold a long time ago.

Radioactivity?

Nada.

Just incredible!

I can't find any other words for it.

This is history.

Hey, partner, you see any

little green dudes out there?

You watch yourself.

You don't wanna get shot for trespassing.

Looks like there's writing of some kind.

Anything look familiar?

Strange hieroglyphics.

Not like anything I've ever seen before.

Now, I'm coming up on a breach in the hull.

Careful, man. Don't get carried away.

There's something else in here.

I think I can reach it.

First thing I've seen

that isn't all burnt to hell.

Okay, got it!

What is it?

I have no idea.

Looks self contained.

Like it wasn't part of the ship.

I'm gonna bring it back.

How's our time?

Make like Jumpin Jack Flash.

Roger.

He's 14,000 years old!

That's pre-history!

It's also absurd and ridiculous.

Thought you all saw the analysis.

And we ran the carbon dating

a number of times.

And always get the same results.

No, there's no mistake.

He and his ship were on the moon

14,000 years ago.

What about that?

Well, that's some very tough alloy.

And hollow inside.

We can't seem to open it

without destroying it.

Dr. Burns, do you really want me

to report to the president

that you believe we may have some

kind of ancient astronaut here?

Well, that's not quite the way

I would put it, Mr. Haskell,

but that It is the general idea.

Do you want to see the analysis again?

It's not necessary. I do want

a copy of the print-off though

for my report on your

cockamamie theory.

What is it with you?

You think we're making all this up?

It's right out there in front of you,

goddamnit!

Colonel, we have all been

around in budget time.

There's nothing like a little

mystery in space hyped

to sort of jack up the bucks at NASA.

Right, Chuck?

Come on, you can't be serious!

We've just presented you with the facts!

I don't believe this guy!

I think it's outrageous

for you to even suggest

that we would try to pull off a hoax,

Mr. Haskell.

I don't recall accusing you
