Explanation: A flying saucer from outer space crash-landed in the Utah desert after being tracked by radar and chased by helicopters. The year was 2004, and no space aliens were involved. The saucer, pictured here, was the Genesis sample return capsule, part of a human-made robot Genesis spaceship launched in 2001 by NASA itself to study the Sun. The unexpectedly hard landing at over 300 kilometers per hour occurred because the parachutes did not open as planned. The Genesis mission had been orbiting the Sun collecting solar wind particles that are usually deflected away by Earth's magnetic field. Despite the crash landing, many return samples remained in good enough condition to analyze. So far, Genesis-related discoveries include new details about the composition of the Sun and how the abundance of some types of elements differ across the Solar System. These results have provided intriguing clues into details of how the Sun and planets formed billions of years ago.

The surviving samples will probably never trust a parachute again.
Looks like two Hughes 500 chasing Elliot Gould.....
Maybe Hughes 369s
Wait. I’ve seen this one. The crew develops fantastic ESP powers.
Can see the alien footprints, plain as day...
They are heading to Roswell...
If you listen carefully, you can hear Dido singing...
The virus has already been released...The Andromeda Strain.
I remember this. Surprisingly, the samples were not compromised.
The Andromeda Strain...The new COVID variant. Masks for everyone.
Soon to transform all of us into Omega Men (and women).
With an R22 in hot pursuit (not visible in photo).
That will buff right out.........
Yes, but what are the odds an individual would actually be killed from the impact of an object falling from space?
Back when SNL was actually funny.
E.T needs to phone home.

White Courtesy Telephone paging Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan, White Courtesy Telephone please.
That was the plotline of a short-lived Showtime series called “Dead Like Me.”
Well, it actually happened in Alabama in 1954. Woman Hit By Meteorite
She wasn’t killed.
