When astronomers using the Keck Telescope atop Mt. Maua Kea accidentally discover an alien spaceship orbiting Earth at 28,000 km, some pillars of human civilization were badly shaken. Shock and disbelief gave way to fear among scientists when they spotted living beings in the spaceship. The worst came when the closely kept secret leaked out leading to global disorder.

Banks collapsed. Billions proclaimed it the second coming, as others swore they were spirits of the dead. Governments and the entire economies got to the brink of collapse, and the world changed forever!
