The story
Two years after the first film, Zane Zaminsky is found dead in a remote Inuit community. It is reported that he died of a heart attack. His broadcast to the world about the aliens is widely believed to have been a UFO hoax due to his dismissal from NASA (this despite Earth continuing to have record temperatures).
