Undated Events

  • Men in Black (Films): Princess Lauranna of the Zarthans attempts to hide the Light of Zartha on Earth with the Men in Black. Agent Kay falls in love with Lauranna, but the MiB's need for neutrality forbids them to hide the Light. Kay pretends to launch it into space, leading Serleena to chase after it after she kills Lauranna. In actuality, Kay hid the Light on Earth, and neuralyzed himself to forget where. (Men in Black II; the show with Peter Graves says 1978, but the script contains two references to this happening 25 years before the film (which takes place in 2001).)
  • Planet of the Apes (Films): All information concerning the two lost spaceships and the secrets of the future as revealed by Cornelius and Zira was locked away under heavy top-secret security clearance. Few are allowed access to it. At this time, Armando gives Milo the name of "Caesar". (Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, Battle for the Planet of the Apes)
  • Tick (Animated): The Terror (still holding a grudge against Teddy Roosevelt after his defeat in 1903) tries to punch out Mt. Rushmore. ("The Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account")
