Ball of Light

From The 4400 Wiki, a fan encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

The comet hovering

The Ball of Light was an advanced spacecraft originally believed to be a comet which was used to return The 4400 to Seattle in 2004. It entered the atmosphere somewhere around Sibera or Alaska before reaching a lake next to Mount Rainer. The United States, China, France, Great Britain, and Russia fired missiles at it still believing it was a comet destined to impact with the Earth. A forcefield kept the missiles from having any impact. The Ball of Light disappeared in an explosion, leaving the 4400 in a cloud of mist.

A painting of the Ball of Light appears in the lobby of the 4400 Center.

Missles fired at the Ball of Light

Camera shots show the missiles hitting the target but not destroying it, and then cut to a shot of the Ball of Light passing the Moon. In reality the missiles would have hit the target very near the atmosphere, far closer to Earth than the Moon.
