Plot: In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface of the water, a huge vessel rests on the ocean floor. Rushed to the scene is a group of American scientists who descend to the depths of the sea to investigate this astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a massive spaceship, undamaged from it's fall from the sky-and at least three hundred years old. When a spaceship is found 1000 feet below the Pacific Ocean it is carbon dated to be over 400 years old. The American army believe it to be a UFO. As a result a team of scientific experts are rushed to the scene. A team that was formed ten years before, only to humor the American government. The team is taken down to search the space craft and when doing so they come across a giant metallic sphere. They figure that the space craft has time travelled as they find a computer keyboard which says, "Made in USA, 2048" Also they discover that the spaceship travelled through a black hole. When they discover how to enter the sphere they do so and once they come out they hold strange powers of manifestation. 1000 feet below the ocean, navy divers discover an object half-a-mile long. A crack team of scientists are deployed to the site in Deepsea Habitats. What they find boggles the mind as they discover a perfect metal sphere. What is the secret behind the sphere? Will they survive the mysterious 'manifestations'? Who or what is creating these? They may never live to find out.
