The film uses unpublished material STS-34 from the space shuttle Atlantis from a NASA mission documentary, underwater footage from Antarctica by Henry Kaiser, and interviews with scientists about travel in space, commented on by actor Brad Dourif and repositioned in a new context.

action

An alien (Dourif) reports on the settlement plans of his people from the planet Wild Blue Yonder in the Andromeda galaxy and tells the story of two intergalactic settlement projects. The inhabitants of the planet Wild Blue Yonder tried to settle on Earth decades ago because their home planet was becoming more and more hostile to life and was increasingly flooded. Much knowledge was lost during the long journey to Earth, however, and the technical masterpieces that were required to construct the spaceship cannot be repeated. Arrived in the Californian desert, the aliens try to design an alternative to the American capital Washington and to found a city, but fail with this project. The city is being given up.

The alien tries to integrate himself on earth and works for the CIA , where he is involved as an observer in the resumption of investigations into the UFO crash at Roswell . The UFO is an extraterrestrial spaceship from the Andromeda Galaxy and it contains extraterrestrial organisms that are falsely believed to endanger all life on earth. The NASA therefore sends out a mission to foreign galaxies to Habitat for Humanity to find. By exploiting space tunnels based on string theory , it is possible to reach a planet in the Andromeda galaxy, precisely the home planet of the alien. The planet has been completely covered by water for a long time and has been uninhabitable. When the mission returns after 820 years, it turns out that the earth has also become uninhabitable.
