Fell to Earth when the comet of the same name appeared over our skies.

Halebopp claims the comet was actually a ship that was caught in a sort of universal riptide. Fearing being trapped there forever, Halebopp built a makeshift life raft and escaped into our atmosphere.

Since his landing Halebopp has been pursued by multiple governments, but he has become a people’s hero of sorts and is often protected or hidden by the populace.
