At the SETI institute in New-Mexico, radio signals are noticed in space but their source curiously comes from the moon. At the Pentagon, a huge spaceship of about 550 km of diameter is observed. The Question whether or not we're alone in the Universe has been answered. Soon, the alien spaceship arrives in orbit aroud the earth and scrambles satellite transmissions.
