Advance party from Planet X I reckon.
Sussing out the lay of the land, and deciding where the best place is to set up their colony after we've all been wiped out.

The captain of the Alitalia airliner shouted "Look out" to his co-pilot at the sight of a brown missile-shaped object shooting past them

Probably flying too close behind the Lufthansa plane after the in-flight meal was finished.

Watched Independence Day on the TV last night. Wrong on so many counts and is pure hokum. But it is fun to watch.

I always rather liked that film. In fact I have it in my collection.

One wonders if the screen writers had read 'Childhoods End' by Arthur C. Clarke for the inspiration for the the beginning. Still, no doubt he stole the idea from someone else anyway. The bastard.

As far as I can tell Arthur C. Clarke was the first to use that image.  Been nicked loads of time since.

Back in the 80's there was this little known Sci Fi series called V, looking at that its pretty clear where a lot of the initial inspiration came from.

Wicked series!

Indeed. 'V' ran from 1984-5, Childhoods End was published 1953.

'V' is about to make a return it seems :

If they do as good a job with this reimage as they Battlestar Galactica team have then it will be well worth looking at.

I've got he miniseries and the second part of V on DVD. There was another series after that but I dont think it was ever released on DVD.

That makes it "The ministeries" as a nearest fit, but I am still none the wiser.

Try THE miniseries Darwin.



I guess its true what they say about Turnip abuse and mental decline.
