Crashed UFO

Little is known about the vehicle located by Nod near Cairo. Obviously of alien origin, the wreck was a saucer with no obvious engines nor steering equipment. It's interior, when infiltrated by captain Parker, was empty and bore no signs of removed equipment or damage from Nod researchers. The only artifact of note was an odd, round metal object with a pulsating blue cross embedded in it.

Kane opted to erect the Cairo Temple of Nod in the vincinity of the wreckage and over the ancient Nod temple. It is known that Nod spent a great deal of time researching the secrets of the vessel and it's not out of the question that the results of this research were poured into the creation of the majestic Scrin vessel, whose interior bears similarity to the one of the crashed UFO and the Banshee fighter.

By 2030 the UFO has been removed from it's crash site near Cairo by GDI and it's current whereabouts are unknown.
