Colonel Hartigan

Colonel Hartigan is an astronaut found dead in Mothership Zeta's engineering core in 2277.

Background
Colonel Hartigan was a United States Air Force officer and a United States Space Administration astronaut, who was abducted in the 1960s when he was returning from a low orbit space flight with the space capsule Clarabella 7. His recording demonstrates him trying to make a peaceful "first contact" with the aliens, until he is violently cut-off by them.
