The Book of Genesis (Greek: Γένεσις, "birth", "origin") is the first of five books of the Jewish Torah or Pentateuch.
The narrative runs from the creation of the world to the descent of the children of Israel into Egypt.

Joe Wilson: Cal, I - I know everybody's seeing flying saucers and screwy lights up in the sky. Well, you can put me in the booby hatch too, because, so help me, I saw this ship turn a bright green up there.
Dr. Cal Meacham: Are you sure, Joe?
Joe Wilson: Positive.

Explanation: A flying saucer from outer space crash-landed in the Utah desert in 2004 after being tracked by radar and chased by helicopters. No space aliens were involved, however. The saucer was the Genesis sample return capsule, part of a human-made robot Genesis spaceship launched in 2001 by NASA itself to study the Sun. The unexpectedly hard landing at over 300 kilometers per hour occurred because the parachutes did not open as planned. Despite the crash landing, many return samples remained in good enough condition to analyze and research is ongoing.

Dr. Ruth Adams: It's only Neutron. We call him that because he's so positive.
