Jennifer presents the Skycon 1 System images to Dr. Parkfield, Dr. Kramer and Dr. Mortorff. Dr. Mortorff asks what she noticed and she shows them smudges on one of the images and says it may be a system malfunction. Dr. Mortorff suggests they send someone to check it out and suggests Jennifer and Dr. Parkfield suggests she doesn’t have enough experience and he should go, but Dr. Kramer says Jennifer will go by herself. Later, Jennifer faxes a satellite image of the areas she placed equipment and photographs she took back to the SSR Institute and Dr. Mortorff asks her what she wants them to look for when she asks them to enhance one of the images. She tells them about circular patterns of crystals that appeared in the area and don’t appear to be random. Dr. Kramer tells SSR Institute Employee to gather everything they have on aerial phenomenon and has a meeting with Dr. Mortorff and Dr. Parkfield and tells them Jennifer has revealed evidence of alien contact. He shows them a map of space and says the aliens left them a message from where they are from. Dr. Mortorff says he will figure out when they stars from the message were aligned and Dr. Kramer tells Dr. Parkfield to get a plane ready. When they arrive in New Mexico, a spaceship zooms by Homer, Dr. Kramer, Dr. Mortorff and Dr. Parkfield.
