Awhile back there was a discussion in the comments of one of your physics posts about aliens using advanced physics to accidentally teleport their planet into our solar system. What if they accidentally destabilized a human satellite / outpost / cloud city, leading to:
Aliens: Crap, we're lost and we've accidentally downed a UFO! Better try and catch it... Humans: What just happened, and why aren't we dead? Both: Holy [bleep] it is aliens! ... Then everyone runs of to deal with the major problem of gravitational destabilization and the other problem of biosphere-wrecling disasters on the alien planet. Then the earthbound humans decide to try and pull a Big Damn Heroes disaster relief effort...
