Doesn't this remind anyone of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"? ...Where an alien probe comes into earths orbit wreaking havoc to check on the whales and turns out to be an early satllite from earth...
Man, I'm gettin' old.
- oldmanjay 10y agoYou're getting old enough to mix the plots of the 1st and 4th movies together. V'ger was the early earth satellite that the enterprise chased down. The probe seeking humpback whales was of alien origin. According to what I remember of the novelization, the aliens had visited earth before recorded history. I'm not happy I read the novelization of a Star Trek movie, but there we are.
- outworlder 10y agoV'ger stands for Voyager, with some letters faded-out. Thus, not an earth satellite... I guess we are all getting old here.
- Saturnaut 10y agoYou are mixing up two different Star Trek movies. The ship from 'The Voyage Home' wasn't a man made satellite, it was an alien "whale" ship. However in the first Star Trek movie, a massive ship threatens Earth but turns out to be Voyager 1 returning home.
- mgleason_3 10y agoDang, that right! Always thought those two were stangely similar...
