Initially believed to be hostile due to having killed two people, being present in an explosion site and interfering with communication systems; it was later revealed that the alien was merely a scared and desperate castaway, lost on a world that was strange and menacing to him. The deaths he caused were on self defense, and he didn't cause the explosion but was drawn to it due to the gases released which were closer to the atmosphere he was accustomed. Once meeting Dr. Barbara Ramsey in her lab to retrieve his lost helmet, the alien attempted to communicate with a Morse-like code, but wasn't successful. This mysterious being has a highly unusual physiology compared to Humans and it is speculated that his body may have been silicon-based. Although he can communicate verbally, it is in a frequency that the human ear cannot detect (although dogs can). His body also becomes briefly visible after death (revealed to be almost identical to a Human, except for the bald, enlarged cranium), after which it sublimates to nothingness. The meaning of the code the alien was trying to communicate will likely never be known.
