Major McColl turned on a directional searchlight mounted at the front of the chopper when the Chinook was almost on top of Checkpoint Zulu. As he trained the powerful beam of light downward, a crack in the icepack began to appear. Improbable though it was, the frozen tundra was actually parting, exposing a vast shaft into which the chopper was being drawn.

Winds that moments before had been gusting to over fifty miles per hour suddenly stopped as the Chinook descended below ground. When the chopper’s large propeller blades were ten feet below the tundra’s surface, the large white panels that had miraculously opened then quickly slid back into place. Practically speaking, the helicopter and all on board had been swallowed up by the barren landscape!

Dr. Henderson and Major McCall were both fairly certain that the helicopter was now under the control of the extraterrestrials. Even though Dr. Henderson dealt with facts as a scientist, she was also a huge science fiction movie buff. And because she was, she was very excited to find out whether her first encounter with extraterrestrials would be similar to what director Steven Spielberg had depicted in his 1977 blockbuster movie, Close Encounters of a Third Kind, or what Ridley Scott portrayed in his 1979 smash hit, Alien!
