About: The Thing's UFO   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The UFO crashed in Antarctica 100,000 years ago, and became buried under several millenia's worth of ice and snow. The UFO is first seen in the opening credits entering Earth's atmosphere, in such a disoriented manner that it is implied that it was not even attempting to land, but had completely lost control, possibly due to the actions of The Thing on board. The Thing crawled out of the ship a short distance, but was unable to withstand the harsh cold weather and subsequently froze. It was buried in ice along with the UFO, only to be discovered in the modern day.

  • The UFO crashed in Antarctica 100,000 years ago, and became buried under several millenia's worth of ice and snow. The UFO is first seen in the opening credits entering Earth's atmosphere, in such a disoriented manner that it is implied that it was not even attempting to land, but had completely lost control, possibly due to the actions of The Thing on board. The Thing crawled out of the ship a short distance, but was unable to withstand the harsh cold weather and subsequently froze. It was buried in ice along with the UFO, only to be discovered in the modern day. During the winter of 1982, a Norwegian crew discovered the UFO buried in the ice near their outpost and the frozen remains of the assumed passenger of the spacecraft. A simple lab test on the remains of the unknown creature resulted in its revival from its long slumber, killing off the crew one by one and assimilated them, causing chaos. The creature mutated into grotesque monstrosities, and the crew were able to fend them off by killing them with fire. In a dire situation, the crew did its best and destroyed most of the camp in hopes of killing the creature, however the creature survived (now imitating an Alaskan Malamute) and fled from the remains of the outpost. Two survivors pursued the creature by helicopter to stop it once and for all, however both survivors were killed before they succeeded in killing it. The creature was then found by the crew of a nearby American outpost, who would later suffer the same fate. Like before, the creature began to assimilate the crew, causing paranoia among the men. The creature tried to build a miniature UFO out of parts salvaged from the base's helicopter and tractor, but the survivors destroyed the UFO, and the creature.
