It actually caused a lot of he'll to break loose and major societal upheavels on a global scale,  not to mention animals becoming much smarter too. Yeah I'd like to see a good long movie or a mini-series done of that. ''The black cloud '' by astronomer Fred hoyle was about the titular object detected approaching the solar system and at first taken for a simple dust/gas cloud but it begins acting in a way that suggests control, or even intelligent behavior. Eventually scientists deduce it is an intelligent life form that is charging itself by orbiting the sun while killing earth as a side effect.  Eventually they must establish contact with it to save humanity. The ultimate first contact novel with a truly Alien intelligence.</blockquote>
