Doctor '''Felix Mortinson''', Ph. D. is an [[Earth (1980)|Earth]] scientist who believes in the "alien astronaut" theory and, as such, was the subject of ridicule from members of the scientific community since November of 1971 C.E. (''[[Galactica 1980 1]]'').

When the Colonials make contact with Earth in 1980 C.E., Mortinson is working at the [[w:Arecibo Observatory|Arecibo Observatory]] in [[w:Puerto Rico|Puerto Rico]] where he intercepts and is able to identify the Colonial language as having strong similarities to [[w:Aramaic|ancient Aramaic]], a language that is over three thousand years old (''[[Galactica 1980 2]]'').

Mortinson later headed toward [[w:Washington, D.C.|Washington, D.C.]] in the hope of establishing contact with the Colonials, who he correctly surmised to be brothers from the stars. He encounters [[Troy Adama]] and [[Troykus Adama]], is able to communicate with them relatively effectively and leads them to [[Mount Weather]], the United States' continuity bunker. By doing so, he allows Commander Adama to convince President [[Jimmy Carter]] that the Colonials were no threat, despite his ill-thought out action and Doctor [[Gaius Zee]]'s invasion of Earth, and to direct their energies to the [[Cylons (1980)|Cylons]] threat (''[[Galactica 1980 3]]''—''[[Galactica 1980 4|4]]'').
