    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Loosely based on events of November 7, 2006, when multiple eyewitnesses at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (including control tower personnel and flight crews) reported an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) hovering over Gate C17.
    • Goofs
      During news reports the news stations call letters all begin with a K. In Cincinnati all stations begin with a W.
    • Quotes

      Professor Hendricks: [talking to Derek about UFO signal and conspiracy theory] You don't automatically jump to the most extreme explanations. You analyze the reasonable ones first.

    Bring out your inner geek with this thoughtful film
    This was a very decent film and definitely worth watching - the acting was underplayed and there were no stupid special effects - just a good interesting plot and story.

    I have no idea if the math was accurate but it seemed quite plausible and the mystery kept me waiting until the end - I almost felt like a math genius just watching it unfold.

    The acting and direction was good - the usual aspergers/autistic type math genius that gets to prove his point by solving a really hard problem - made me think that the future of human kind will probably be in the hands of someone like this.

    Not the average action packed sci-fi alien squealing fest but very entertaining.
