Sophia, it's me. You don't answer your phone.
Your friend says you don't go to meetings anymore.
I'm worried about you.
I'll be at at the observatory tonight. Please call me. Bye.

I'm Colonel Mokrani. I'll be your contact.
Good.
How are you?
You frightened them.
Do you ever go skiing?
Do I ever go skiing? -Yes.
Because you work in the mountains, I mean.
I used to, but it was ages ago.
Is everything alright? -Yes.
Terrible, this.
My men keep things secure. Rest assured that they are here.
I will.
Come on, Sophia. Pick up.
No, leave me alone!
What is it? -Multiple objects are approaching the earth.
What kind of objects? -No idea.
They are approaching at more than 1000 kilometers per second.
Impossible.
They're slowing down.
Because they've entered our atmosphere.
Would it...
be an attack?
Eighty seconds left.
Ten seconds left.
Six, five, four, three, two ...
Several places have been hit ...
but only in certain areas, it seems.
I want an update every ten minutes about the affected places.

Hello, sister. I hope you're unharmed.
I know you don't want to talk ...
just send me a text that you're okay.
Please.
Pick up, damn it.
Why do you keep calling me?
I know we are not like each other now, but come to the observatory.
Why? It's safer.
Are those things dangerous then? -I don't know.
Please come.
Trust me.
What's going on?
Do you still have gas in your tank? -Yes. Now tell me what's going on.
Leave everything behind and come here. -Why? You're scaring me.
I beg you. -Okay.
There have already been four unknown substances found.
What is the source of the electromagnetic field?
We only know the frequency and amplitude are constantly increasing.
We've also send space probes to other planets. It is possible ...
that they are here to do research.
Why would they send so many probes? And why only to inhabited areas?
The first signal. It took exactly one day.
Yeah so? They must have performed a scan.
They mapped the earth?
Should we destroy them?
They might be weapons. - Bring up the pictures of Wyoming.
Look. An F-16 bombed one of them. Not a scratch.
What is that?
The electromagnetic fields affect the atmosphere.
The British government warns of an attack.
You're still not here. Where are you? -I'm stuck in traffic on the mountain pass.
Listen. We're being attacked. You must take cover.
Attacked? -Just find some underground cover.
Hurry up. -I can't go anywhere.
I'm sorry I ruined everything. -That's not true.
Yes it is. And you always help me. -Make sure you go underground.
I've been so mean to you. -Go underground. Right now.
I don't know where to go.
We've lost contact with our planes. They've crashed.
Something is happening.
What's happening?
Get us back online. And seek cover.
How far still? -We have to get out of here ...
Watch out.
Keep all doors closed.
Is it over? - We'll see.
People, flashlights off. We need to save the batteries.
