s.e.t.i. in new mexico identified a signal but they're even more confused than we are. excuse me, sir. satellite reception has been impaired but we were able to get these. we estimate it has a diameter of over five hundred and fifty kilometers and a mass roughly one fourth the size of our moon. our intelligence tells us the object has settled into a stationary orbit. not really. part of it has broken off into nearly three dozen other pieces. smaller than the whole, yet over fifteen miles in width themselves. they should be entering our atmosphere within the next twenty- five minutes. a second sighting? correction, we have two confirmed visual contacts. one over iraq, one over the pacific.
