WE'VE GOT TO FIND OU WHAT HAPPENED.

UM...

WE HAVE A LOT OF FOOTAGE

THAT'S COME DOWN

FROM, UM, THE ISS.

AND WE'VE GOT A TEAM NOW THAT'S

GOING THROUGH THAT FRAME BY FRAME,

AND WE DON'T KNOW

WHAT IT IS YET.

UH, WE DO KNOW THAT IT'S NO A SOLAR FLARE,

WE KNOW THAT IT'S NO AN ELECTRICAL STORM.

[ALEX]

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME

THAT AN ANOMALY HAS APPEARED

ABOVE OUR PLANET.

WE FIRST ENCOUNTERED IT IN 1990.

AND IT WAS VISIBLE

FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS.

BUT BEFORE WE COULD GE ANY FURTHER DATA,

ANY MEANINGFUL DATA,

IT VANISHED,

NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN,

UNTIL NOW.

YEAH, GOOD MORNING.

YEAH.

YEAH, I WILL UPDATE YOU

AS SOON AS I'M IN.

WELL, UM...

BASICALLY, WHEN I GOT THE CALL,

UM, I'D BEEN ASLEEP FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES.

[CHUCKLES]

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON A PROJEC FOR THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS,

UM, SO IT'S BEEN PRETTY INTENSE.

THEY WOULDN'T TELL ME

ANYTHING ON THE PHONE,

SPACE AGENCY PROTOCOL,

ONLY THAT IT WAS

OF A CLASSIFIED NATURE,

WHICH REQUIRES MY EXPERTISE IN

THE FIELD OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVES

AND SPACE ANOMALIES.

THE IDEA THAT THIS ANOMALY

IS EMITTING SOME FORM OF

GRAVITATIONAL WAVE SURPRISED US ALL,

AND IT WAS DEFINITELY OUTSIDE

ANYTHING PREDICTED BY SCIENCE.

WHAT COULD CAUSE

SUCH A PHENOMENA?

I DON'T KNOW YET.

THIS MORNING,

THE SPACE AGENCY REPORTED THA ASTRONAUT JIM MARCEL WAS KILLED

BY INCOMING SPACE DEBRIS

WHILST ON A MAINTENANCE MISSION

ON THE ISS.

A SPACE AGENCY SPOKESPERSON

SAID THIS IS A TRAGIC INCIDENT.

BUT JIM MARCELL WAS

PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS JOB,

AND THEIR CONDOLENCES

GO TO HIS FAMILY.

[HIGH-FREQUENCY WARBLING

OVER RADIO]

A NAME WAS GIVEN

TO THIS ANOMALY.

WE STARTED CALLING I "THE VOID",

WHICH IS WAY BETTER

THAN "ANOMALY 234-B."

[ALEX]

IT HAD THE APPEARANCE...

WELL, SIMILAR TO THE REMNANTS

OF A SUPERNOVA.

BUT, DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY

TO EARTH,

WE KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

BUT DURING ITS APPEARANCE,

WE ALSO DETECTED

A SHORT-BURST RADIO WAVE

AND THE SIGNAL WAS...

IT WAS...

TRANSMITTED IN A VERY

SPECIFIC FREQUENCY,

1420 MEGAHERTZ.

[HIGH-FREQUENCY WARBLING

OVER RADIO]

[JAKOB]

THIS 1420 MEGAHERTZ FREQUENCY,

A VERY STRANGE:

AND COMPLEX PHENOMENON,

ALSO KNOWN AS:

THE "HYDROGEN LINE,"

THE RADIO ASTRONOMERS

WHO FIRST RECORDED IT,

THEY CHASED THEIR TAILS TRYING

TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE...

OF THE SIGNAL,

TO NO AVAIL.

AND THEN IT DISAPPEARED.

ALL THESE YEARS LATER,

WE'RE STILL TRYING

TO FIND THE SOURCE.

[REPEATING TONE]

NEVER REOCCURRED.

IF WE MISS ANY OPPORTUNITY

TO INVESTIGATE THIS NOW,

WE MAY HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER

25 YEARS FOR IT TO REAPPEAR,

IF IT REAPPEARS.

AND WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW IS,

WHO PUT IT THERE?
