When Pope Benedict asked Giotto
to prove his worth as an artist. . .

:32:06
. . .Giotto drew a perfect circle. . .
:32:09
. . .freehand.
:32:11
Perfection.
It's a powerful message.

:32:14
-I know what the Zen masters would say.
-What's that?

:32:18
"This ball wants to be caught. "
:32:20
Nobody built this thing
looking into their third eye.

:32:23
They went to a lot of trouble
and they didn't do it for nothing.

:32:26
Something put this thing out there
to get picked up and brought back here.

:32:30
Have you forgotten the Trojan horse?
It could be a trap.

:32:33
Don't you think
that's a little paranoid?

:32:35
No, I'm going to put a video camera
on this thing and keep an eye on it.

:32:39
Can I ask you something
about this reflective surface?

:32:42
Yeah, it appears to be mercury,
doesn't it?

:32:44
Except mercury's liquid
at this temperature.

:32:47
That's not what I'm talking about.
:32:49
What worries me is that
it's reflecting everything but us.

:32:57
I hate to be the one non-scientist
that picks this up, guys.

:33:00
You know what I mean?
:33:03
What do you think it is?
:33:07
I don't know.
:33:09
Whatever it is. . .
:33:11
. . .it's alien.
:33:21
Okay, an American spacecraft,
materials, technology. . .

:33:24
. . .more advanced than what we know,
crashes into the ocean.

:33:27
Why wasn't it damaged?
:33:28
The materials are
obviously super-strong.

:33:31
If that's true, why did it chip
when you hit it?

:33:39
Better:
:33:40
It didn't crash.
:33:42
It arrived. . .
:33:44
. . .300 years ago.
:33:46
-From where?
-Not "where. " When.

:33:48
So you're saying this thing
took a wrong turn?

:33:51
That's right.
I mean, what if the craft. . .

:33:53
. . .inadvertently flew
into a black hole?

:33:55
It arrived in our past from its present.
:33:58
The dates
in the flight record--
