Earth vs. the Flying Saucers Page #4

for the time differential between us...

...would have been made.

I don't understand.

Evidently, you do not realize you are

in an interstellar conveyance.

You are already outside

the atmosphere of your own planet.

As a prisoner,

all I am required to tell you...

...is that I am General John Hanley

of the U.S. Army.

These are all the facts leading up to

the explosion at Operation Sky Hook.

To the best of our knowledge, my wife

and I are the only ones left alive...

...since we have not seen

or heard anyone for hours.

The air is becoming toxic.

In the event of our death...

...this report, with the recording

of the saucer sounds on this tape...

...constitute all the data we have.

The batteries are failing.

The recorder is not running

up to speed.

This is Dr. Russell A. Marvin.

Russ? Where are you?

It's all right, honey.

The gas generator stopped, that's all.

Please come close.

I'm afraid of the darkness.

-Dr. Russell Marvin.

-The tape.

It is very urgent that we meet.

We will appear tomorrow...

...at Operation Sky Hook...

...when your sun is exactly...

...over your local....

That's the sound of the saucer

we heard on the tape.

The message was sent

at an accelerated speed...

...so it just sounded

like gibberish to us.

When the batteries died,

the tape slowed down...

...and the voice became clear.

If I'd only figured it out before...

...maybe we wouldn't have been

trapped down here.

What had taken hundreds of lives and

leveled an installation worth millions?

An aroused public

demanded an answer...

...and the government dedicated

all of its branches to finding one.

However, when Dr. Marvin

and his wife were rescued...

...the answer was to be found in the

experience of the only two survivors...

...and in a reel of tape recording...

...they carried to Washington, D.C.

and the Pentagon.

--Operation Sky Hook.

There can't be any doubt

about what it means:

A landing at the project was proposed

on the day of the disaster.

There was to have been a meeting.

If I couldn't keep the appointment,

a message was to be sent...

...on a designated wavelength

by ordinary shortwave transmission.

-Does anyone want it played again?

-You've heard it a dozen times.

My wife and I, for three days,

have been telling what we knew.

We've been before every committee

and commission in Washington.

It's time we did something.

The tape is by no means conclusive.

Certainly doesn't prove your so-called

flying saucer destroyed Sky Hook.

I grant you that.

A strange voice, a set of instructions

that might have come from anywhere.

Has anyone a better idea

of what happened?

I'm inclined to accept

Dr. Marvin's conclusion...
