April 13 Signal First Contact

In the movie, the” signal” 
An Astronaut receives 

A signal from an alien spaceship 
Heading to earth 

The alien repeats the word 
Hello in multiple languages
While heading to Earth.

The discovery electrifies 
And terrifies the world.

All  the world’s governments
Decide In secret. 

To shoot down the spaceship
Before it could land
As it could be either a probe
Of the beginning of an invasion. 

When they enter the ship
They find the original 
Voyager data discs.

Which the aliens 
Were returning to earth
As an opening gambit 
To establish communication.
