The (...) mechanism (...) where influenced by another magnetic field. The actual city camera was panned over the sun, towards the force (...) That force gentlemen, was the gravitational pole of another planet. A new planet in our solar system.'

'Mass gravitational pole, similar to earth. There's an atmosphere. (...) Suitable landing site? Established. Seascape and vegetation. So far no sign of life.'
