An extract from "Sphere" by Michael Crichton :
"It's very unlikely. Oh, they know we're here. They'll have
spotted us with their satellites at least two days ago, but we're
putting out a steady stream of decodable messages about our
Search and Rescue exercises in the South Pacific. S and R drill
represents a low priority for them, even though they undoubtedly
figure a plane went down and we're recovering for real. They may
even suspect that we're trying to recover nuclear warheads, like
we did off of Spain in '68. But they'll leave us alone-because
politically they don't want to be implicated in our nuclear
problems. They know we have troubles with New Zealand these
days."
