- Loengard and Sayers uncover the connection between the 1964 Alaskan earthquake and a Native American legend that revolves around a buried Hive spacecraft.
- As a tribe of people sit around the fire, a bright object falls from the sky and lands near the mountains nearby.
Many centuries later, a man awakens in his home to see a knife on his night stand slowly spinning. He drives out and finds a collection of rocks floating in the air.
Bach discusses the situation with a scientist who explains the magnetic disturbances are above a fault line in Alaska, and only have a 50/50 chance of being naturally caused. Albano thinks it's a waste of time to investigate it, but Bach knows Loengard has a nose for this type of thing and if he's interested in it, they should be as well.
John and Kim meet a reverend named Gary, who after some tense back and forth about the recent tabloid exploitation stories of the floating rocks and religion in general, agrees to let them meet his uncle, Tug, the man who found the rocks originally. He tells them of the story of an ancient clan that saw a star fall to the earth, and was swallowed up underground. They spent their lives guarding the star, due to the instructions of the father who came down to speak to them without words. The father explained that the star should stay buried until a time in the future, when rocks would fly and it would sing its song, and the ground would open up and be exposed again to the sky. The father also seemingly died and floated up to the skies. Tug then shows them what the father looked like, a carving on a totem pole that resembles the Greys.
John and Kim discuss the existence of this friendly Grey, theorizing that the Greys might have been friendly, but are now implanted with ganglions like some humans are.
Tug takes them to the rock location where they notice a helicopter suddenly lose control when flying over the area, then veering off and regaining control. Kim notices the birds stop singing and suddenly the rocks start to float in midair again, and just as suddenly fall back down as an earthquake hits. After it subsides, a gorge has opened and they see the star Tug told them about. John and Kim go to get climbing equipment to get down there, but Majestic shows up. Tug asks John for his help in not allowing anyone to take out whatever is in the gorge.
Bach tries to get the local Air Force base General to assist him in locking down the town, but he resists, reiterating the disaster that is facing the town and surrounding communities because of the earthquake. Bach summons up his authoritarian demeanor and states his demands again, the general finally backing down, for some unknown and inexplicable reason, considering he outranks Bach by several levels.
Inside the gorge, John, Kim, Gary and Tug hear the ship making noises with Kim feeling queasy. They investigate further and find a glowing ship with alien writing on the sides. John notes that it's larger than the Roswell craft, has less detail on the surface, seems to bend the matter around it and despite emanating heat, the surface isn't even hot. Tug and Kim both feel uneasy, and decide to retreat, with John remaining unaffected. He theorizes it could be a warning device of some sort, and stays behind to take more pictures and investigate.
Bach explains to Albano that the ship at Roswell is dead, and wants this ship since it's seemingly working as they begin their move towards the site.
Outside the gorge, Tug questions whether the father he spoke of was evil, but Kim explains he could have been here before they were taken over by the Hive.
Inside, John touches the ship and experiences a vision of the future with him arguing with Bach, a helicopter carrying the alien ship, and skeletons strewn around the land, with an older version of John waking up on the ground, as a man explains the skeletons are the remains of throwbacks, as they look up and see a hive ship flying above. As John awakens from his vision, Bach's men arrive to take him out of the cave but he faints.
John awakens hours later to realize Bach is evacuating the town, deeming it a disaster site. John explains his vision to Kim who questions whether it could be changed. As Tug goes to Gary and prays with him, Kim and John move towards the guards under the ruse of wanting some coffee but grab their weapons and escape with a helicopter. They fly towards the site where Bach is ready to lift the alien ship out, and face off against him, threatening to take out both copters if they continue. Bach backs off and as they fly away, the ship explodes safely underground, leaving the area safe for the town citizens to return.
