Duet with Destiny Part 3

Earth
Los Angeles, California
Somewhere in a office of Jet Propulsion Labs(JPL)

Dr Jack Anderson is preparing a report on the lastest findings of the Hubble telescope for an upcomming NASA meeting. He is watching the live feed of Jupiter from the Hubble telescope. He is making notations to his report as he drink his cup of coffee. He yawns.

"Nothing exciting ever happens on my shift." He thinks.
He lets his mind wander to the upcoming Star Wars Fanfest in Los Angeles.He tries to decide what kind of costume he should wear this time.
"Jedi or something else? I wonder what the guys are going to wear. Maybe we could coordinate something." He wonders out loud. He glances at his friends Sam and George. He then glances back at the screen expecting to see the normal pictures of Jupiter. He reaches for the adjustment controls for the screen taking a sip of hot coffee. His hand freezes in mid-reach. He spits out his coffee and his mouth hangs open in surprise.

"What?! The..."

He quickly adjusts the screen to focus on the object that has caught his attention. Zooming in and enlarging the object so it can be clearly seen. He hits the record button.

"I don't believe it. This can't be real!" He cries as he stares at the tiny ship hovering in space close to the planet of Jupiter. It is now clearly visble on the screen.

"Sam! George!Come here look at this!" He exclaims excitedly to his friends and colleagues. He continues to stare at the ship in wonder and surprise as his friends join him.

"What is it Jack?" They both ask at the same time.

He points to the object on the screen. His friends exchange looks of surprise.Then the ship on the screen now moving quickly away from the planet of Jupiter.

"If I didn't know better..." George starts to say then stops as if afraid to voice his thought out loud.

"That looks like... an X-wing!" Sam finishes. He then shakes his head in disbelief. "But it can't be." He turns to look at George. "Shouldn't we report this?" He asks of George.

George shrugs his shoulders. "If it isn't a hoax of some kind." He replies.

"Hoax?!!" Jack exclaims, who hasn't taken his eyes off the ship the whole time. "This no hoax! Look at the date and time stamp. This is a live feed." He says pointing to the bottom of the screen.

"Yes, Of course. We should report this at once hoax or not." Jack cries excitedly as he reaches for his phone.

His friends exchange startled glances.

"But, Jack..." Sam starts to say.

But Jack talking excitedly into the phone ignores him.
