"Zim a bu e ter" is a phrase from the aliens' Sumerian messages portrayed in the 2009 movie "The Fourth Kind." Many people on various forums and sites have suggested numerous Sumerian translations for this message; here are a few:
"Soon nothing will remain"
"Help us"
"Kill everyone"
According to other sources, if taken as two words, "Zim a bu e ter" could possibly mean:
zim Äbi- "the father's/ancestor's face/appearance"
eţer or eţēru- 'to save; to take away'
Zim a bu e ter literally translates to "save zimabu!", "take zimabu away!" or, in a vocative sense, "Zimabu! Save!"

The Fourth Kind is a thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has experienced an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances over the past 40 years, accompanied by accusations of a federal cover-up. The movie is deeply disturbing and touches on several fundamental theories of alien encounters.
