This alien's origins and motivations are completely unknown. It was first encountered by a group of shuttle astronauts in 1977 and took control of the body of Colonel Marcus Aurelius Belt, who would later become head supervisor of the next shuttle programs in NASA. The creature forced Belt to sabotage several missions and, in a particularly dangerous mission in 1993 it left his body to attempt to kill a group of astronauts by causing an oxygen leak on their shuttle. Later, Colonel Belt was able to fight the possessing entity and save the astronauts by telling them how to correct the course in order to land safely. That night, Belt had a violent attack and fought the entity again until throwing himself out of the hospital's window, thus destroying himself along with the alien.
