:48:00
Take a look at them.
:48:01
Here's what started the whole thing.
:48:04
Oh, yes.
:48:05
When we first found it, we thought
it might be an outcrop of magnetic rock...
:48:09
...but all the geological evidence
was against it.
:48:13
And not even a big nickel iron meteorite
could produce a field as intense as this.
:48:18
So, we decided to have a look.
:48:19
We thought it might be
the upper part of some buried structure...
:48:22
...so we excavated out on all sides.
:48:24
But, unfortunately,
we didn't find anything else.
:48:26
And what's more, the evidence seems
pretty conclusive that...
:48:29
...it has not been covered up
by natural erosion or other forces.
:48:33
It seems to have been deliberately buried.
:48:36
Deliberately buried.
:48:42
How about a little coffee?
:48:43
-Great.
-Good idea.
:48:51
I don't suppose you have any idea
what the damn thing is, huh?
:48:54
I wish to hell we did.
:48:56
No, the only thing we're sure of is
it was buried four million years ago.
:49:01
Well, I must say, you guys have certainly
come up with something.
