1: Beyond the sky

Plot / themes

1944.
Russell Keys has an alien experience.
1947.
A UFO crashes near Owen Crawford, "John" is hurt in the accident. Owen goes inside the UFO. Then he starts hunting for "John".
Russell and Kate have a baby, Jesse. And Russell meets the aliens again. He obsesses, and leaves his family.
Sally Clarke, married to Fred, meets "John". She already has kids, Tom (hates "Jonn") and Becky (likes "John"). Sally gives "John" an ear ring, then he leaves.
Crawford arrives too late. But later he gets an artifact instead, with writing. And marries Anne.
Humans react to aliens; many die, but Russell and Sally seem immune. Aliens can trick our eyes.

Plot in short

How we react to the strange/alien. Love and hate/indifference. How we fight against force. All very human and relevant.

Except for the alien bit, fine.
Realism in plot
