Speaker 1 (00:00):
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents Coming.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'm e. G.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Marshall with another adventure in the macabre. I'm a collector
of stories about experiences which are out of the ordinary,
and which most of us would prefer to avoid. Still,
I find a perverse kind of pleasure in sharing the
unexpected and the bizarre.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It purges my own concerns.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
About the unknown, and there is so much that is
on our planet and in the universe. As a man
named l.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Wilson, a farmer who lives near Bolton.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Connecticut, found out after encountering a phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Don if I know what to do with it, Carrie.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You'll have to get rid of it. Thank you, lucky Stars.
It didn't destroy the bond. When's that astronomer going to
be here? Dana? Is that his name?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah, Charles Dana. It'll be the first thing in the morning.
He was pretty excited.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Then ask him to take it away. It makes me nervous.
It might be radio whatever they say.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Radioactive, and that's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Our mystery drama The Meteorites was written especially for the
Mystery Theater by Roy Windsor and stars John Beal. It
is sponsored in part by sign off the Sinus Medicines
and General Electric citizen band radios. I'll be back shortly
with Act one. I suppose that at one time or
(02:09):
another you stood outside and looked up in wonder at
the night sky and the endless panorama of the stars.
We've landed men on the moon, and we sent space
rockets to circle Mars. But as we learn more about
the universe, we learn how little we really know. It
(02:29):
is infinite. Emerson wrote, there is no chance, no anarchy
in the universe. All is system and gradation, and every
God is there sitting in his sphere.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
True.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Al Wilson didn't know it when he and his wife
returned from evening service at their church, but he is
about to find out.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Aren't you going to put the car away?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, I'll do it later.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I can't mentioned checkers. You invite over to this.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Mord No, I suppose, sir, luck at them stars? My goodness,
what a fine night, glad I brought in the rest
of them tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, you'll have frost to night.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh. Look left above the barn, way up in the sky.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
See be kind.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Of cone of light.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You never seen anything like that?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
This close.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Winds coming.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Look at thanks you.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Let's be traveling fast at lightning, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's coming this way toward our farm.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Let's get away from here.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's headed toward the house.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Will be grown up?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Come on swearing all over the barn.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
How you feeling?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
He never seen go to the bar?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Mark.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
It missed.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Buried itself in our passion.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I never in my life.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I've never been so scared in my life. It could
have destroyed everything else.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Look out there, there's a cloud rising from it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh. I've got to tell Garrett. I wouldn't take a
look at it.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
No, no, you won't. I don't want you go and
do that thing.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And Garrett either you know, won't blow.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Off just to burn out chunk of rock.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Carry But it exploded once to hit the ground.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Was sure because it was red heart.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Now it's cooling off the it's not dangerous.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
No, you come into the house with Garrett along telephony.
I won't have either of you prowling around that thing tonight.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Okay, I guess it can wait at morning.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm a little leary of it myself.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Is everything all right, Garrett? Or is the washing machine
upside down.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh no, no, no damage, Dylan, Yeah, no cracks in
the cellar, and none of the preserves fell off the shelves.
I gave the washing machine a reassuring pat and said, goodnite.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Ow can you be so cold, Garrett? We pay high
enough taxes on this little house.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Oh my, come on, I'm more calm yourself. Huh.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
It's overwear, that's what you think.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
It's an outrage and the mayor is going to hear
about that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Ah, yes, but blast they must ti there's to be
progressed progress my foot.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
They wreak a perfectly beautiful mountain side for what another
ribbon of concrete leading nowhere?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Pay for out of our money? And what's the rush?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Why do they have to shake my fillings loose.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
On Sunday night?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah? Yeah, I find that a little two cellars the Mayor's.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Going to get an air for when he rolls into
his office tomorrow morning. Brought into whiten the roads. How
people are sitting down to Sunday supper.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, okay, but I refuse to have the big one
over something over which I have no control. Yeah that
school get jargon cardiac or rest, No, sir, not for
Garrett Smith. If you want to quarrel, honey, you just
telephone the mail or calm down, honey. There was no
damage done, So put the experience behind you, saved by
(06:30):
the bell.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
If it's for me, tell them I'm bluing in my sillings.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Hello, Garrett Smith.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You hear the blast on frown?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, it put mored in space. Any damage
to the farm.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Just a trench in the far pasty. You know where
Tompkins cuts across the state road.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, but that's a long way from where they're working out.
You know the crew that is plasting on the mountainside.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
What crew I'm talking about the explosion?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What's am I?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Well, they don't blast on Sunday night. Gear at you?
You don't know what happened?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I guess I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
A shooting starland ten minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
In my far passion.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Why you can't.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You mean over, we can persuade Carrie, Let us investigate.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You mean that a meteorite landed on your farm.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You tell me you're the science teacher, Come.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
On over, don't yeah right away?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What that about our media?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Don't blame the state, honey, don't blame the mayor. Blame
a phenomenon. That explosion that took the house that was
not from blasting. A meteorite landed on house farm and
plowed up half as far pastor Jerry.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
How terrify? I tell you My legs turned water.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I yelled how to run, but I couldn't and he
stood there water eye marvelous.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
All it's marvelous is that it didn't hit the bond
of the house. It hit and then what well, the
warm all around this steam came up from the things.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Is it a fallen star, Well, that's what most of
us call it, but the proper name for it is meteorite.
It comes, you know, from outer space.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
So a lots of funny things, at least some people think.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So, yeah, including me, mm hmm, yeah no really, I'm
serious now Now flying sauces, for instance, they are fact now,
but we won't argue about that. You believe that stuff, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well I'm glad I don't. There's not just around the
fond to make me watch my step. I don't need
funny little creatures. It looks like todstools peeking in through
the bedroom window.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Just what is one of these meteorites? Well, it's burned
out rock. See it broke loosen out of space and
out of the orbit of its own planet, and then
it just kind of flew loose. See, once in a
while the gravity of Earth pulls down fragments and they
land here and there, and most of them burnt out
in the sky. They look like, you know, streaks of
(09:11):
light on fire from freation exactly. So the chances of
on reaching the Earth are very small. Well, we've got one.
And it's no rock.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
It's a big long thing, looked in the sky like
a missile, like a torpedo.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Incredible, I mean it. I don't know too much about meteorites,
but I know who does, Professor Charles Dana at the
State University. I studied under him. Now you know what
you try to do. All I want to do is
get rid of the thing. Now, Dan as your man. Now,
why don't I try to reach him? He wants a
(09:48):
meteorite for the astronomy laugh.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
And he's welcome to it. Tell him all the way right.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
First, I don't flip out. Carry First, I've got to
see it. O.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Can it explode if it's just a rock? Didn't I
tell you?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Why don't you and Maud come along?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
With it.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
No, thank you. You two play space to that carry
and I will need a point.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Now you're going to be famous.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Sure, maybe they'll name the thing after Garry.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Is there is there any danger from well, radioactivity or disease?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
No, why not? Oh nothing? No, little I know anyhow,
Now we won't go too close to it, so just
don't worry. We won't be long.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Shut up the car, Dame, and we'll play some bready,
won't from back?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Gives me the creeps, Carrie, I feel the same. Something
eerie about a thing coming down from outer space makes
you wonder what's really up there?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That is incredible?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Now, yeah, I wonder where it came from.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And the size of it it must be. It must
be twelve feet long? Oh boy, I get your plowed
up some trench there? Eh, the outside looks like slag. Huh,
that's where it is. Who knows where it came from?
Your guests as good as mine and I teach science.
I want to tell you I was beyond me. I
(11:32):
can't explain why more of it wasn't burned up on
its passage through our atmosphere. It was red hot.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
You should have seen the glow, felt the heat.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's cold. Now find eager to see it in the
morning when the sun's up. But keep the news to yourself.
Get I don't want people driving out trapes and all
over the farm. Right, I'll try to get in touch
with Professor Dana.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
A fine at the university wants a thing. You'll need
to live in the truck. Right, I'm not gonna hate.
I have a thing thinking away.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Command ship.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
To command.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Open the window a little more out it's warm in here,
or or get rid of this top blanket one warm?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Oh oh, why'd you wake me up out of a sound?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Sleep?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Open the window it is o m open it more
stuffy here and come back to bed.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Oh boy, hold out there, the force looks like a
light covering of snow.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I can see the meteorite real clear, guar.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's cra and it makes you that way no.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Getting carry it is kind of impressive. People don't have
a meteor rte land near them. Every week in the month,
Garrett said, only about a thousand have been recorded.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, come to bed.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Maybe they ought to keep the thing. Invite people to
come see it.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That Professor Dana will be here first thing tomorrow. Now,
come on, get some sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, carry, Oh my stars, what is it? Come here? What?
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Look out there? See the media? Right? Sure, you see what.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I see, but I don't. It looks higher.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's changed.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So what is like a slap of ice?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You know why it's changed? Take a careful look.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Carry Oh God Lord, yes, I.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well what does it mean?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I don't know, but it's opened up. The meteorite did what.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Opened up?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
The Wilsons are steady people, so we have to believe
what they see. There is, however, no evidence that a
meteorite is anything more than a burned up piece of rock.
Is what they have seen? Impossible to believe? Impossible is
a slippery word. Hard to pin down. More about this
(14:41):
phenomenon when I return with that too, I began you
may remember by saying that I've shared with you the
are the unexpected.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I've done. So.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
A meteorite is a rare occurrence. I doubt if any
of you has seen one, except in the museum. But
for Al Wilson and his wife Carrie, it is more
than a piece of burned out rock. Last night, a
meteorite bunch to rozone and like a huge missile, found
its earthly mark in hell's far past. That in itself
(15:26):
was unique. So is the fact if his eyes did
not imagine it that the meteorite opened up. It is
seven the next morning, so that'll be Garrett or a
professor just finished your breakfast out?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Well, bring him in either one of them for a
couple of call.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Morning jury.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
He's in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Come along, Garrett, have a cup of coffees.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Very, I suppose you been Ebsence five as usual.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I have Harry Laws in bed until almost six.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, how'd you like my news? Well? I didn't believe
until I saw it for myself on the road. It
doesn't look like it's opened up like a like a
giant clam show.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You ever hear anything like that before?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh no, here's some hot coffee out, thanks, No shuts
on the table. What could it mean?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, not much. I'd say it cooled fast and cracked open.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
He's gonna be able to see this through with me.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Oh, I wouldn't miss it out. Mortel telephoned the school
and the agency. I won't be teaching today. And what
time do they a little past seven? Well, Professor Deana
car is pulling into the driveway.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I'll let him in carry you saw some breakfast for him,
lots of smoke. Caner's great with fresh eggs.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You took classes with Professor Dana.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Too, a science major.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Good morning, mister Wilson. I'm Professor Dana.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yes, I'm right, thank you. Well, just put your coat
over here on the new post. Come on in the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
My wife Carrie stirring you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Up a real farmer's breakfast. Wonderful.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Jarrett Smith is with us and my neighbor, my best.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Friend and once a student of mine as many years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Our professor, you probably won't remember it, indeed I do.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Garrett's good to see you. Good morning, missus. Willison's morning.
Have some coffee while the eggs are frying. I'll do that, Garrett.
As I recall you were going to become a research biologist.
But love sweet soft.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Right, Professor right, I got married and I've lived happily after.
Now tell Professor Dina what happened, well, sir, the thing
it opened up?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
The meteorite opened Yeah, yes, sir, Garrett says, maybe it
cooked real fast.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And cracked open.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And he could be right, and Stu. A meteorite is
fused by the tremendous heat.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It generates.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
So on hand, I find it hard to believe that
it cracked open, all.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The whole things. Hard to believe.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
You'll haul it away today, professor.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh, yes, the lifter and truck will be here later today.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We'll have the.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Meteorite on its way to stores before six o'clock.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Here you are, Professor smoked Ham.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Wonderful. Everybody likes it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I'll be glad when the thing's off our property. It
gives me a funny feeling.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I understand. It's rather awesome, isn't it. I'll go see it.
All three of your fidgeting. You'll still be coffee when
you get back.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Go along, all of you and it into carry professor.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yes, yes, I have my cameras in the trunk of
my car.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Your service, sir. I'll get them for you.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Now, don't you go be being gray now, like stepping
into that thing.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It could snap shot and there you be. Nah, don't
be nervous, missus Wilson. There's nothing to fear.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
But what if there was something in there that just
had to get out?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
A boy? He said, It's not a meteorite, Professor, it's
something much more important. It's a space capsule. I don't
get it neither do I? But look look inside and
(19:27):
you see the struts and the pane of glass.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
A space capsule, but from from where.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Let's take a look inside. Give me the camera with
the stroke like great please.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yes, sir? So Now now this this is a nightmare.
You support some lunatic.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Was experimenting with some kind of missile.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That this thing was shot from somewhere, wobbled.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Around and then just came down here.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Good lord, there's something in there. Shine a flashlight into
the interior.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Get it.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I see it now, take a.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Look, but it's.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
It's something kind of man about the size of the
six year old boys got with an old face and
how long date it is?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's a man from space.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You think he's dangerous, Professor, he's dead or or unconscious.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
If he's alive and hurt, we gotta get him out. Yeah,
go tell carry the professor.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Miill get him out. Okay, okay, wait till she hears
about this.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
It looks safe enough. What opened up was an escape
hatch covered with slag. A lower myself, hold up the
hatch right.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Sure, cramped in here.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Shit, he's alive, Come on, pound, set you out of here.
Lit out his head thus or he's real light.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
I've got him, and here I come. A miniature man
wants a discovery. Did you catch that, professor, family, it's
some some some kind of signal.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Work coming sounds like English.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
It's beyond me.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Well, let's get into the house and try to bring
you around.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Fuck, he's opening his eyes.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Joy you, I understood that.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
All right, take it easy, pound. We want to help
you get right now.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
If you need some warm food and a bed, you
get well, then you do what you please.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Come in. Ship comes for me. H. He could be dangerous,
mister Wilson, But what do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Shove him back into his capsule.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The little man's hurt.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yes, yes, I see. Well, let's carry him to the house.
I hope we're doing the right scene.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
We are, Professor. You're worried, aren't you, Professor?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yes, this should be reported to Washington.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Let's wait a while.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I don't want an army of scientists swarming all over
the place.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But this Crocker, if that's his name, he could bring
us knowledge of an unknown world. Now, the planety comes
from space trips, hundreds of things, a view of the
universe from millions of miles of ways.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Well, but I'm not going to have him hammered.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That the little man is sick and after his wealth.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I don't know that's up to him anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You heard what he said, yeah, destroy, and something about
a command ship. Professor, What do you make of this?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I can only guess Kruck was in a manned capsule.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
His mission.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I have no idea sophisticated exploration. Perhaps something went wrong
with his ship. He got caught in the Earth's atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The capsule went.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Out of control. As it came down, it began to blaze.
It's it's incredible that it didn't disintegrate.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
What about that command ship?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Oh that's easy, Garrett. Kruck expects to be rescued.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
And you got him right here in the house.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Because he's half dead. Carrie's trying to shove some life
back into him now.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
He kept saying destroy. For safety's sake, I think Kruck
should be removed. Where to back to the capsule. I'll
truck the capsule and hit back the stores.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Sorry, I won't do it. The capsule is yours.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Kruck stays here until it goes home.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I'm going to see how he is.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
What about the police, Garret.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, it's a small force, Professor, not much protection against
whatever you're thinking.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I sympathize with mister Wilson's feelings. He's a decent man,
but she doesn't realize the scope of this discovery. Kruc
could open up a new world to us.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, look, why don't I speak to somebody in space
Control ask him to send a man down to see
the capsule and meet.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Kruck Gett, you're risking a friendship.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'll chance it if you can postpone picking up the
capsule for a dear or so.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, that's easily done.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Goodn and that's what we'll do. And you, sir, you
where my house.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Gets that's very kind.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I'll be an honor.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I think you're suggest the sound, Garrett, but you'd better
tell him about it.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, after the person from space Control the riose, not before.
He can't crowd a Connecticut farmer like an This is
his land and his home, and nobody better forget it.
He sure looks better, Carrie.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
He's a nice little man, like the hot William. Didn't you,
mister Kruk.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Yes, it was very good.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You still have to destroy me.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
I do not know humans are enemies.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Of my people they are.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
We don't even know who your people are.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
When we try here and land, you fired guns at us.
We found earth, and we have come here out of curiosity,
but you drive us away. Now we will this joy you.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
He won't tell me where it is from now, I
asked him, No, I.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Will not tell. How come you speak English, Girk, We.
Speaker 8 (26:29):
Know all languages. Our minds are as advanced as our weapons.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Then use that great mind of yours. You'll understand. We
don't mean you harm.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
I thought you would kill me.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Well, now you know different.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
I will leave you in peace. I do not understand
why you have been kind.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You were hurt. That's only decent.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You said, Cruk, you'd leave us in peace.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Yes, the command ship will take me and the catsual away.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Or you may be cruck, but the capsule goes to
the State University.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
No, if you try to remove the cats seal, there
will be destruction. The truck, the mend, the capsule will
be destroyed, turned to ashes.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I don't know what to do. I gave my word.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Need what I say, do not risk destruction. I will
return to the site and await the command ship.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You'll do nothing of the sort it's cold out there.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Cold and heat do not affect me.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
You better speak to the professor.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Al, Yeah, you stay here while I do. Hello there,
mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
How's our little man from space?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Well, he's giving me a problem. Kruck warned me that
if we remove the capsule, all hell's going to break
loose the truck and the man will be destroyed.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
We don't really know what we're dealing with, mister Wilson.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Well, that's why i'd go along with Kruck.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
I know that means calling off the truck.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
But there's been a delay there anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Or where's Garrett? Did he go home?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yes? Yes, I'm spending the night with him.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Well, if you'll excuse me, Professor, I have to get
out to the barn milking time.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
One minute. Miss Wilson, Well, I'm afraid i've acted deceitfully.
You're a very decent man, Garrett thought it. No. Now
let me take the blame for what someone from our
National Space Center will be Yeah, sometime tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't like that, Professor.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I know you can.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I said I wouldn't allow Cruck to become a part
of no freaking He.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Won't be I assure you came like that. I told
you the truth, and I've told Kruck that we're his friends,
not his enemies. Mister Wilson, enormity of this discovery.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
You've done something and we're stuck with it. Okay, let
the man come, but understand this, I don't care if
the man is the president. He tries any rough Stu
the Cruck, and I'll kick him out, and I'll go
for Garrett and for you too, Professor. Yes, I can't
tell you how Kruck will feel.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I think he trusts Us.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
I'll tell him about this guy you're bringing in, but
I can't be responsible for what Kruk might do, of course, not.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
When you just say that.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
I believe the little man knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
If he says, you go up and smoke.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
And that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
The Wilsons have treated the man from Space as they
would any injured person, with kindness and attention. Garrett Smith
and Professor Dana, however, want to treat Cluck as an
incredible discovery, which he and the capsule are.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
What Cluck does is all.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That matters, and we'll find that out when I return
shortly with Act three. When our minds turn to the universe.
We fantasize and give up. Reports of flying objects make news,
(30:46):
but no one takes these science fiction occurrences too seriously.
So it was with the Wilsons until accidentally they had
a visitor from outer space, a small manlike creature named cut.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Thank you for telling me, mister Wilson.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
It won't be some bad crook.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
The guy just wants to ask you some questions.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
And the man.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Will arrive in the afternoon. I say, the truck's supposed
to arrive later.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
Why did your friends not have the truck arrive today.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I guess they took you seriously.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
I told them what you said, that the truck would
be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
That will happen. You know that.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Yes, I have given you the warning. It is arranged.
Your men will try to remove the cat sule, and
the ray will reduce the truck.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
To cashion, but not if they don't touch it.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
They will here.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I believe what you're saying, Crooker.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
I have been in touch with the Space Command. The
ship is on its way.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
How do you know that I.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Return to the top shore and send my message.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You did, Ben, I've been with him all the time.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Now I assure you. I have talked with my people.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I guess i'd better tell him to stand off.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yes, now that's definite.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Now you rest, krok what.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
You see of me here we'll rest.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Close the bedroom door out. Sure do you think he
meant by that house?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Who knows? Have I got time before?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Supper?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Driver over the garrets.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
You're back in half an hour.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Won't take me that long.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Don't be nasty to it, your good friend.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Okay, I don't like his interference, and I'm gonna tell
him so and warn him and Dana.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
You went behind.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Al that well, not really more, the professor told the
ass because he felt guilty.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Garrett, I can't believe you do such a thing.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
To ask, Oh, there's no harm done.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
But you were planning to have some man walk in
from space control.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
And this is if I may. Garrett and I have
genuine respect for mister Wilson's humanitarian feelings about the little
creature from space, but he does not appreciate what a
monumental discovery is.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
The space canciler could advance our flight technology by light years.
I mean it, darling. We have to have this knowledge.
We owe it to our country and all says where
we're supposed to do nothing about it.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
He also says that if you interfere correct, people would
kill you. Oh you know, it's lucky all of you
aren't dead now.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
I'll bet you would be.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
If Carrie hadn't nursed this creature back to life, it
would be a shame. If we don't learn all we
can from this is incredibly then well.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Professor warm the man from space command. Possibly he can
control his eagerness scared.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
I believe that if he makes one passive crook, so long.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
The little creature defenseless. He's so small. You get stuff
from the.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
Suitcase, and you they he's defenseless.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I can see.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
But what you won't see is that cook is a
highly advanced form of life, way beyond that. And because
you can't see how he could defend himself, you think
he's helpless.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Oh, don't count on what you think. You don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Mighty good suffer carry.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Crop liked it too, took him a tray. It's funny.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I don't think of him as a little man from
outer space, but like a guest to drop thick and
I'm taken care of and.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
He isn't even human.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Well, he responded to kindness most living things.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Dow All, you went nasty to Garrett and the Professor.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Of course not.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I did tell Garrett to learn to mind his own business,
but mostly I warned them.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
They take it seriously.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
They thought I was talking through my house.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
My Lord will found some sense of the Garrett's head y.
That's just got some feelings. Murby.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Well, I'm gonna get to bed big day tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I sure hope that man from space Control has some sense.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And he's only one man.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Krupp said he'd talk to him and then leave.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
That's gonna be some sight.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
A flying saucer sitting down right bar pressure.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
I wonder if they'd take me for a short spin
go to bed.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
If one of those things comes down, you're not going
near it. Let it pick up the capsule and take
Kruck home.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
And where is that?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
He won't say. Only it's out there where the stars again? O,
what's beyond that? Even crop doesn't know that Professor right
on time. It's just optified.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's some big helicopter. Oh the pilot esus, yeah, throws down,
Come on, hell other oo. I am Jade Smith.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Oh aw you Sander's face control h Professor Dan.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Mister Wilson, how do you do plead to meet you?
Speaker 5 (36:38):
You know about the spaceman's warnings.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yes, I've I've learned what he said. Mister Wilson. You
had him in your house, that's right, and he's willing
to talk to you, very sensible.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
He has no choice. He's a prisoner. Oh no, no, sir, No,
he's not begging your pardon, sir.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
But he's my guest and he's been justified.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
That's how you may see him, mister Wilson. But he's
my prisoner.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
I have orders to transfer him too the War College
where that's just what I was afraid of. If you
try any rough stuff on Crocker, there'll be real trouble.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Are you threatening me, mister.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wilson, I could be.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
This is my property and Crucker is my guest.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Now, look, you can't set yourself about the government.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
This capsule and this creature.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Belong to us.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I do well, I'll throw all you off my land.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
But that's not what I was getting at when I
said rough stuff would bring trouble. You're playing with something
from our space, Sanders.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I'm here to take possession of a space capsule and
something that resembles a man. I mean to carry out
my assignment.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
Well, all the luck in the world for you, Crut
safe talk to you. Maybe he can found some sense
into your thick skulf.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Now see here, Oh no, you see here. You watch
your stuff with me.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
You walk very carefully with my little friend Krut.
Speaker 8 (38:05):
You are from your space control.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Yes, sir, who are you?
Speaker 8 (38:13):
I am called Crook. I am from a distant planet.
Its name is of no importance.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
It is to me that maybe how did.
Speaker 8 (38:26):
You reach your Earth in my capsule?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
What was your mission?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
I am an explorer.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Who are your people?
Speaker 8 (38:36):
They are like me?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yes, you have conquered space travel.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
We have explorers everywhere.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Why did you come to Earth?
Speaker 8 (38:48):
I did not intend to. I went off course.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Your capsule caught fire and landed here.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
That is right.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Come with me.
Speaker 8 (38:59):
You making a grade mistake.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
I am obeying orders. You understand that.
Speaker 8 (39:06):
I understand orders, but I do not obey yours.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
This is a gun.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
If you resist, I'm instructed to immobilize it. I stay
out of this now, get a truck and walk out.
Speaker 8 (39:28):
I want mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I don't believe in magic space man that is.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
Your weapon, that metal gun.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yes, and if you don't obey, I'll use it.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
He hugs the guns. It's just a lump of metal.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
Can you use it now?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
The sun is leave well enough alone. I don't know
what crunt did.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
Each one like me a a powerful ray, more powerful
than your strongest current. I can call it up so
within me. Whenever I choose, then I can point a
finger and destroy.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Come on, mister Sanders, I'm convinced, and you saved his life. Wilson,
you gave.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Refuge to an enemy of our country. I will have
you charged with treason.
Speaker 8 (40:29):
I do not think so. Mister and missus Wilson have
treated me like a visitor. I will not forget, neither
will my commander. Do not threaten the Wilsons. We have
(40:50):
come to Earth many times unfriendly missions. We could come
with total destruction.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I'll ask you to leave, mister Sanders.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
And do not try to move the cop shots.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I'll walk you back your helicopter. Mister Sanders, you're.
Speaker 8 (41:12):
Miraculous, cluck, No, just more advanced in scientific technology. Humans
one day will discover what we already know.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
But how about that deadly ray of yours.
Speaker 8 (41:30):
In your seeds. You have deadly ears on land, you
have venomous snakes. My people are small but strong because
we possess the ray in fighters. It is highly developed.
(41:51):
I am a soldier and a fighter. It is time
now for me to go.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Now look outside. They gotta truck back into the pasture.
That's that big list and they're gonna take it away.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Oh no, you know what cross that will happen?
Speaker 8 (42:15):
Look like the sh the command ship. I will go
and read it. It looks like a big mushroom.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Oh, Darren to be killedst just girl, man, come back, garrot.
He sees the command shift.
Speaker 6 (42:37):
What does the trus the flame and clash it?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
But but command got away. See them over there on
the road, shooting their faces from the heat, and.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
They're are the landing step. What's awesome.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
I'm spacious.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
It's gone.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
I can tell you that, along with the lifter and
the truck, the space capsule was turned to ashes. Garrett
Smith escaped, and so did the men brought in by
Professor Danna. When al Wilson wondered later if he and
his wife had consorted with the devil, she replied, as
you might expect, but no, they had consorted with God,
(43:33):
meaning I suppose that they had acted in the interests
of good.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
I'll return shortly.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
Maybe our real.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Worlds are those we explore in our nightmares. When an
experience becomes too acute, we awaken, switch on alike and
forget the frightening dream. That may be foolish, we must
face facts. One of them is that there are other world's,
(44:13):
other life. With a passing of time centuries, perhaps there
certainly will be interplanetary communication, and who knows a puck
they come to visit you. Our cast included John Beale, Marion.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Seldi's, Joe Silver, E. V.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
Justter, and Russell Horton.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
The entire production was under the direction of Hymon Brown Radio.
Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
This is E. G.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for
another adventure in the macabre. Until next time, Pleasant dreams,
(45:14):
BA
Speaker 8 (45:22):
BA
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents Coming.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'm e. G.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Marshall with another adventure in the macabre. I'm a collector
of stories about experiences which are out of the ordinary,
and which most of us would prefer to avoid. Still,
I find a perverse kind of pleasure in sharing the
unexpected and the bizarre.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It purges my own concerns.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
About the unknown, and there is so much that is
on our planet and in the universe. As a man
named l.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Wilson, a farmer who lives near Bolton.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Connecticut, found out after encountering a phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Don if I know what to do with it, Carrie.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You'll have to get rid of it. Thank you, lucky Stars.
It didn't destroy the bond. When's that astronomer going to
be here? Dana? Is that his name?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah, Charles Dana. It'll be the first thing in the morning.
He was pretty excited.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Then ask him to take it away. It makes me nervous.
It might be radio whatever they say.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Radioactive, and that's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Our mystery drama The Meteorites was written especially for the
Mystery Theater by Roy Windsor and stars John Beal. It
is sponsored in part by sign off the Sinus Medicines
and General Electric citizen band radios. I'll be back shortly
with Act one. I suppose that at one time or
(02:09):
another you stood outside and looked up in wonder at
the night sky and the endless panorama of the stars.
We've landed men on the moon, and we sent space
rockets to circle Mars. But as we learn more about
the universe, we learn how little we really know. It
(02:29):
is infinite. Emerson wrote, there is no chance, no anarchy
in the universe. All is system and gradation, and every
God is there sitting in his sphere.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
True.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Al Wilson didn't know it when he and his wife
returned from evening service at their church, but he is
about to find out.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Aren't you going to put the car away?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, I'll do it later.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I can't mentioned checkers. You invite over to this.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Mord No, I suppose, sir, luck at them stars? My goodness,
what a fine night, glad I brought in the rest
of them tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, you'll have frost to night.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh. Look left above the barn, way up in the sky.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
See be kind.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Of cone of light.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You never seen anything like that?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
This close.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Winds coming.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Look at thanks you.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Let's be traveling fast at lightning, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's coming this way toward our farm.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Let's get away from here.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's headed toward the house.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Will be grown up?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Come on swearing all over the barn.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
How you feeling?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
He never seen go to the bar?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Mark.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
It missed.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Buried itself in our passion.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I never in my life.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I've never been so scared in my life. It could
have destroyed everything else.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Look out there, there's a cloud rising from it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh. I've got to tell Garrett. I wouldn't take a
look at it.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
No, no, you won't. I don't want you go and
do that thing.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And Garrett either you know, won't blow.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Off just to burn out chunk of rock.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Carry But it exploded once to hit the ground.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Was sure because it was red heart.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Now it's cooling off the it's not dangerous.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
No, you come into the house with Garrett along telephony.
I won't have either of you prowling around that thing tonight.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Okay, I guess it can wait at morning.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm a little leary of it myself.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Is everything all right, Garrett? Or is the washing machine
upside down.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh no, no, no damage, Dylan, Yeah, no cracks in
the cellar, and none of the preserves fell off the shelves.
I gave the washing machine a reassuring pat and said, goodnite.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Ow can you be so cold, Garrett? We pay high
enough taxes on this little house.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Oh my, come on, I'm more calm yourself. Huh.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
It's overwear, that's what you think.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
It's an outrage and the mayor is going to hear
about that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Ah, yes, but blast they must ti there's to be
progressed progress my foot.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
They wreak a perfectly beautiful mountain side for what another
ribbon of concrete leading nowhere?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Pay for out of our money? And what's the rush?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Why do they have to shake my fillings loose.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
On Sunday night?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah? Yeah, I find that a little two cellars the Mayor's.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Going to get an air for when he rolls into
his office tomorrow morning. Brought into whiten the roads. How
people are sitting down to Sunday supper.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, okay, but I refuse to have the big one
over something over which I have no control. Yeah that
school get jargon cardiac or rest, No, sir, not for
Garrett Smith. If you want to quarrel, honey, you just
telephone the mail or calm down, honey. There was no
damage done, So put the experience behind you, saved by
(06:30):
the bell.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
If it's for me, tell them I'm bluing in my sillings.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Hello, Garrett Smith.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You hear the blast on frown?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, it put mored in space. Any damage
to the farm.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Just a trench in the far pasty. You know where
Tompkins cuts across the state road.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, but that's a long way from where they're working out.
You know the crew that is plasting on the mountainside.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
What crew I'm talking about the explosion?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What's am I?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Well, they don't blast on Sunday night. Gear at you?
You don't know what happened?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I guess I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
A shooting starland ten minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
In my far passion.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Why you can't.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
You mean over, we can persuade Carrie, Let us investigate.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You mean that a meteorite landed on your farm.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You tell me you're the science teacher, Come.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
On over, don't yeah right away?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What that about our media?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Don't blame the state, honey, don't blame the mayor. Blame
a phenomenon. That explosion that took the house that was
not from blasting. A meteorite landed on house farm and
plowed up half as far pastor Jerry.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
How terrify? I tell you My legs turned water.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I yelled how to run, but I couldn't and he
stood there water eye marvelous.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
All it's marvelous is that it didn't hit the bond
of the house. It hit and then what well, the
warm all around this steam came up from the things.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Is it a fallen star, Well, that's what most of
us call it, but the proper name for it is meteorite.
It comes, you know, from outer space.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
So a lots of funny things, at least some people think.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So, yeah, including me, mm hmm, yeah no really, I'm
serious now Now flying sauces, for instance, they are fact now,
but we won't argue about that. You believe that stuff, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well I'm glad I don't. There's not just around the
fond to make me watch my step. I don't need
funny little creatures. It looks like todstools peeking in through
the bedroom window.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Just what is one of these meteorites? Well, it's burned
out rock. See it broke loosen out of space and
out of the orbit of its own planet, and then
it just kind of flew loose. See, once in a
while the gravity of Earth pulls down fragments and they
land here and there, and most of them burnt out
in the sky. They look like, you know, streaks of
(09:11):
light on fire from freation exactly. So the chances of
on reaching the Earth are very small. Well, we've got one.
And it's no rock.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
It's a big long thing, looked in the sky like
a missile, like a torpedo.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Incredible, I mean it. I don't know too much about meteorites,
but I know who does, Professor Charles Dana at the
State University. I studied under him. Now you know what
you try to do. All I want to do is
get rid of the thing. Now, Dan as your man. Now,
why don't I try to reach him? He wants a
(09:48):
meteorite for the astronomy laugh.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
And he's welcome to it. Tell him all the way right.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
First, I don't flip out. Carry First, I've got to
see it. O.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Can it explode if it's just a rock? Didn't I
tell you?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Why don't you and Maud come along?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
With it.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
No, thank you. You two play space to that carry
and I will need a point.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Now you're going to be famous.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Sure, maybe they'll name the thing after Garry.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Is there is there any danger from well, radioactivity or disease?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
No, why not? Oh nothing? No, little I know anyhow,
Now we won't go too close to it, so just
don't worry. We won't be long.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Shut up the car, Dame, and we'll play some bready,
won't from back?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Gives me the creeps, Carrie, I feel the same. Something
eerie about a thing coming down from outer space makes
you wonder what's really up there?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That is incredible?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Now, yeah, I wonder where it came from.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And the size of it it must be. It must
be twelve feet long? Oh boy, I get your plowed
up some trench there? Eh, the outside looks like slag. Huh,
that's where it is. Who knows where it came from?
Your guests as good as mine and I teach science.
I want to tell you I was beyond me. I
(11:32):
can't explain why more of it wasn't burned up on
its passage through our atmosphere. It was red hot.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
You should have seen the glow, felt the heat.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's cold. Now find eager to see it in the
morning when the sun's up. But keep the news to yourself.
Get I don't want people driving out trapes and all
over the farm. Right, I'll try to get in touch
with Professor Dana.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
A fine at the university wants a thing. You'll need
to live in the truck. Right, I'm not gonna hate.
I have a thing thinking away.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Command ship.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
To command.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Open the window a little more out it's warm in here,
or or get rid of this top blanket one warm?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Oh oh, why'd you wake me up out of a sound?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Sleep?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Open the window it is o m open it more
stuffy here and come back to bed.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Oh boy, hold out there, the force looks like a
light covering of snow.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I can see the meteorite real clear, guar.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's cra and it makes you that way no.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Getting carry it is kind of impressive. People don't have
a meteor rte land near them. Every week in the month,
Garrett said, only about a thousand have been recorded.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, come to bed.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Maybe they ought to keep the thing. Invite people to
come see it.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That Professor Dana will be here first thing tomorrow. Now,
come on, get some sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, carry, Oh my stars, what is it? Come here? What?
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Look out there? See the media? Right? Sure, you see what.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I see, but I don't. It looks higher.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's changed.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So what is like a slap of ice?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You know why it's changed? Take a careful look.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Carry Oh God Lord, yes, I.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well what does it mean?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I don't know, but it's opened up. The meteorite did what.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Opened up?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
The Wilsons are steady people, so we have to believe
what they see. There is, however, no evidence that a
meteorite is anything more than a burned up piece of rock.
Is what they have seen? Impossible to believe? Impossible is
a slippery word. Hard to pin down. More about this
(14:41):
phenomenon when I return with that too, I began you
may remember by saying that I've shared with you the
are the unexpected.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I've done. So.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
A meteorite is a rare occurrence. I doubt if any
of you has seen one, except in the museum. But
for Al Wilson and his wife Carrie, it is more
than a piece of burned out rock. Last night, a
meteorite bunch to rozone and like a huge missile, found
its earthly mark in hell's far past. That in itself
(15:26):
was unique. So is the fact if his eyes did
not imagine it that the meteorite opened up. It is
seven the next morning, so that'll be Garrett or a
professor just finished your breakfast out?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Well, bring him in either one of them for a
couple of call.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Morning jury.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
He's in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Come along, Garrett, have a cup of coffees.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Very, I suppose you been Ebsence five as usual.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I have Harry Laws in bed until almost six.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, how'd you like my news? Well? I didn't believe
until I saw it for myself on the road. It
doesn't look like it's opened up like a like a
giant clam show.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You ever hear anything like that before?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh no, here's some hot coffee out, thanks, No shuts
on the table. What could it mean?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, not much. I'd say it cooled fast and cracked open.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
He's gonna be able to see this through with me.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Oh, I wouldn't miss it out. Mortel telephoned the school
and the agency. I won't be teaching today. And what
time do they a little past seven? Well, Professor Deana
car is pulling into the driveway.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I'll let him in carry you saw some breakfast for him,
lots of smoke. Caner's great with fresh eggs.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You took classes with Professor Dana.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Too, a science major.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Good morning, mister Wilson. I'm Professor Dana.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yes, I'm right, thank you. Well, just put your coat
over here on the new post. Come on in the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
My wife Carrie stirring you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Up a real farmer's breakfast. Wonderful.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Jarrett Smith is with us and my neighbor, my best.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Friend and once a student of mine as many years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Our professor, you probably won't remember it, indeed I do.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Garrett's good to see you. Good morning, missus. Willison's morning.
Have some coffee while the eggs are frying. I'll do that, Garrett.
As I recall you were going to become a research biologist.
But love sweet soft.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Right, Professor right, I got married and I've lived happily after.
Now tell Professor Dina what happened, well, sir, the thing
it opened up?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
The meteorite opened Yeah, yes, sir, Garrett says, maybe it
cooked real fast.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And cracked open.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And he could be right, and Stu. A meteorite is
fused by the tremendous heat.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It generates.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
So on hand, I find it hard to believe that
it cracked open, all.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The whole things. Hard to believe.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
You'll haul it away today, professor.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh, yes, the lifter and truck will be here later today.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We'll have the.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Meteorite on its way to stores before six o'clock.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Here you are, Professor smoked Ham.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Wonderful. Everybody likes it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I'll be glad when the thing's off our property. It
gives me a funny feeling.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I understand. It's rather awesome, isn't it. I'll go see it.
All three of your fidgeting. You'll still be coffee when
you get back.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Go along, all of you and it into carry professor.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yes, yes, I have my cameras in the trunk of
my car.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Your service, sir. I'll get them for you.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Now, don't you go be being gray now, like stepping
into that thing.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It could snap shot and there you be. Nah, don't
be nervous, missus Wilson. There's nothing to fear.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
But what if there was something in there that just
had to get out?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
A boy? He said, It's not a meteorite, Professor, it's
something much more important. It's a space capsule. I don't
get it neither do I? But look look inside and
(19:27):
you see the struts and the pane of glass.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
A space capsule, but from from where.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Let's take a look inside. Give me the camera with
the stroke like great please.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yes, sir? So Now now this this is a nightmare.
You support some lunatic.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Was experimenting with some kind of missile.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That this thing was shot from somewhere, wobbled.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Around and then just came down here.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Good lord, there's something in there. Shine a flashlight into
the interior.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Get it.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I see it now, take a.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Look, but it's.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
It's something kind of man about the size of the
six year old boys got with an old face and
how long date it is?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's a man from space.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You think he's dangerous, Professor, he's dead or or unconscious.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
If he's alive and hurt, we gotta get him out. Yeah,
go tell carry the professor.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Miill get him out. Okay, okay, wait till she hears
about this.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
It looks safe enough. What opened up was an escape
hatch covered with slag. A lower myself, hold up the
hatch right.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Sure, cramped in here.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Shit, he's alive, Come on, pound, set you out of here.
Lit out his head thus or he's real light.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
I've got him, and here I come. A miniature man
wants a discovery. Did you catch that, professor, family, it's
some some some kind of signal.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Work coming sounds like English.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
It's beyond me.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Well, let's get into the house and try to bring
you around.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Fuck, he's opening his eyes.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Joy you, I understood that.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
All right, take it easy, pound. We want to help
you get right now.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
If you need some warm food and a bed, you
get well, then you do what you please.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Come in. Ship comes for me. H. He could be dangerous,
mister Wilson, But what do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Shove him back into his capsule.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The little man's hurt.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yes, yes, I see. Well, let's carry him to the house.
I hope we're doing the right scene.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
We are, Professor. You're worried, aren't you, Professor?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yes, this should be reported to Washington.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Let's wait a while.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I don't want an army of scientists swarming all over
the place.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But this Crocker, if that's his name, he could bring
us knowledge of an unknown world. Now, the planety comes
from space trips, hundreds of things, a view of the
universe from millions of miles of ways.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Well, but I'm not going to have him hammered.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That the little man is sick and after his wealth.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I don't know that's up to him anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You heard what he said, yeah, destroy, and something about
a command ship. Professor, What do you make of this?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I can only guess Kruck was in a manned capsule.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
His mission.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I have no idea sophisticated exploration. Perhaps something went wrong
with his ship. He got caught in the Earth's atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The capsule went.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Out of control. As it came down, it began to blaze.
It's it's incredible that it didn't disintegrate.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
What about that command ship?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Oh that's easy, Garrett. Kruck expects to be rescued.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
And you got him right here in the house.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Because he's half dead. Carrie's trying to shove some life
back into him now.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
He kept saying destroy. For safety's sake, I think Kruck
should be removed. Where to back to the capsule. I'll
truck the capsule and hit back the stores.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Sorry, I won't do it. The capsule is yours.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Kruck stays here until it goes home.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I'm going to see how he is.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
What about the police, Garret.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, it's a small force, Professor, not much protection against
whatever you're thinking.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I sympathize with mister Wilson's feelings. He's a decent man,
but she doesn't realize the scope of this discovery. Kruc
could open up a new world to us.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, look, why don't I speak to somebody in space
Control ask him to send a man down to see
the capsule and meet.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Kruck Gett, you're risking a friendship.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'll chance it if you can postpone picking up the
capsule for a dear or so.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, that's easily done.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Goodn and that's what we'll do. And you, sir, you
where my house.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Gets that's very kind.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I'll be an honor.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I think you're suggest the sound, Garrett, but you'd better
tell him about it.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, after the person from space Control the riose, not before.
He can't crowd a Connecticut farmer like an This is
his land and his home, and nobody better forget it.
He sure looks better, Carrie.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
He's a nice little man, like the hot William. Didn't you,
mister Kruk.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Yes, it was very good.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You still have to destroy me.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
I do not know humans are enemies.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Of my people they are.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
We don't even know who your people are.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
When we try here and land, you fired guns at us.
We found earth, and we have come here out of curiosity,
but you drive us away. Now we will this joy you.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
He won't tell me where it is from now, I
asked him, No, I.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Will not tell. How come you speak English, Girk, We.
Speaker 8 (26:29):
Know all languages. Our minds are as advanced as our weapons.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Then use that great mind of yours. You'll understand. We
don't mean you harm.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
I thought you would kill me.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Well, now you know different.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
I will leave you in peace. I do not understand
why you have been kind.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You were hurt. That's only decent.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You said, Cruk, you'd leave us in peace.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Yes, the command ship will take me and the catsual away.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Or you may be cruck, but the capsule goes to
the State University.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
No, if you try to remove the cats seal, there
will be destruction. The truck, the mend, the capsule will
be destroyed, turned to ashes.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I don't know what to do. I gave my word.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Need what I say, do not risk destruction. I will
return to the site and await the command ship.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You'll do nothing of the sort it's cold out there.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Cold and heat do not affect me.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
You better speak to the professor.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Al, Yeah, you stay here while I do. Hello there,
mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
How's our little man from space?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Well, he's giving me a problem. Kruck warned me that
if we remove the capsule, all hell's going to break
loose the truck and the man will be destroyed.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
We don't really know what we're dealing with, mister Wilson.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Well, that's why i'd go along with Kruck.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
I know that means calling off the truck.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
But there's been a delay there anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Or where's Garrett? Did he go home?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yes? Yes, I'm spending the night with him.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Well, if you'll excuse me, Professor, I have to get
out to the barn milking time.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
One minute. Miss Wilson, Well, I'm afraid i've acted deceitfully.
You're a very decent man, Garrett thought it. No. Now
let me take the blame for what someone from our
National Space Center will be Yeah, sometime tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't like that, Professor.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I know you can.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I said I wouldn't allow Cruck to become a part
of no freaking He.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Won't be I assure you came like that. I told
you the truth, and I've told Kruck that we're his friends,
not his enemies. Mister Wilson, enormity of this discovery.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
You've done something and we're stuck with it. Okay, let
the man come, but understand this, I don't care if
the man is the president. He tries any rough Stu
the Cruck, and I'll kick him out, and I'll go
for Garrett and for you too, Professor. Yes, I can't
tell you how Kruck will feel.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I think he trusts Us.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
I'll tell him about this guy you're bringing in, but
I can't be responsible for what Kruk might do, of course, not.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
When you just say that.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
I believe the little man knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
If he says, you go up and smoke.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
And that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
The Wilsons have treated the man from Space as they
would any injured person, with kindness and attention. Garrett Smith
and Professor Dana, however, want to treat Cluck as an
incredible discovery, which he and the capsule are.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
What Cluck does is all.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That matters, and we'll find that out when I return
shortly with Act three. When our minds turn to the universe.
We fantasize and give up. Reports of flying objects make news,
(30:46):
but no one takes these science fiction occurrences too seriously.
So it was with the Wilsons until accidentally they had
a visitor from outer space, a small manlike creature named cut.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Thank you for telling me, mister Wilson.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
It won't be some bad crook.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
The guy just wants to ask you some questions.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
And the man.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Will arrive in the afternoon. I say, the truck's supposed
to arrive later.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
Why did your friends not have the truck arrive today.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I guess they took you seriously.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
I told them what you said, that the truck would
be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
That will happen. You know that.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Yes, I have given you the warning. It is arranged.
Your men will try to remove the cat sule, and
the ray will reduce the truck.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
To cashion, but not if they don't touch it.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
They will here.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I believe what you're saying, Crooker.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
I have been in touch with the Space Command. The
ship is on its way.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
How do you know that I.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Return to the top shore and send my message.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You did, Ben, I've been with him all the time.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Now I assure you. I have talked with my people.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I guess i'd better tell him to stand off.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yes, now that's definite.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Now you rest, krok what.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
You see of me here we'll rest.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Close the bedroom door out. Sure do you think he
meant by that house?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Who knows? Have I got time before?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Supper?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Driver over the garrets.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
You're back in half an hour.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Won't take me that long.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Don't be nasty to it, your good friend.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Okay, I don't like his interference, and I'm gonna tell
him so and warn him and Dana.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
You went behind.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Al that well, not really more, the professor told the
ass because he felt guilty.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Garrett, I can't believe you do such a thing.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
To ask, Oh, there's no harm done.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
But you were planning to have some man walk in
from space control.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
And this is if I may. Garrett and I have
genuine respect for mister Wilson's humanitarian feelings about the little
creature from space, but he does not appreciate what a
monumental discovery is.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
The space canciler could advance our flight technology by light years.
I mean it, darling. We have to have this knowledge.
We owe it to our country and all says where
we're supposed to do nothing about it.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
He also says that if you interfere correct, people would
kill you. Oh you know, it's lucky all of you
aren't dead now.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
I'll bet you would be.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
If Carrie hadn't nursed this creature back to life, it
would be a shame. If we don't learn all we
can from this is incredibly then well.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Professor warm the man from space command. Possibly he can
control his eagerness scared.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
I believe that if he makes one passive crook, so long.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
The little creature defenseless. He's so small. You get stuff
from the.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
Suitcase, and you they he's defenseless.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I can see.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
But what you won't see is that cook is a
highly advanced form of life, way beyond that. And because
you can't see how he could defend himself, you think
he's helpless.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Oh, don't count on what you think. You don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Mighty good suffer carry.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Crop liked it too, took him a tray. It's funny.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I don't think of him as a little man from
outer space, but like a guest to drop thick and
I'm taken care of and.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
He isn't even human.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Well, he responded to kindness most living things.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Dow All, you went nasty to Garrett and the Professor.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Of course not.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I did tell Garrett to learn to mind his own business,
but mostly I warned them.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
They take it seriously.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
They thought I was talking through my house.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
My Lord will found some sense of the Garrett's head y.
That's just got some feelings. Murby.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Well, I'm gonna get to bed big day tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I sure hope that man from space Control has some sense.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And he's only one man.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Krupp said he'd talk to him and then leave.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
That's gonna be some sight.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
A flying saucer sitting down right bar pressure.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
I wonder if they'd take me for a short spin
go to bed.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
If one of those things comes down, you're not going
near it. Let it pick up the capsule and take
Kruck home.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
And where is that?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
He won't say. Only it's out there where the stars again? O,
what's beyond that? Even crop doesn't know that Professor right
on time. It's just optified.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's some big helicopter. Oh the pilot esus, yeah, throws down,
Come on, hell other oo. I am Jade Smith.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Oh aw you Sander's face control h Professor Dan.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Mister Wilson, how do you do plead to meet you?
Speaker 5 (36:38):
You know about the spaceman's warnings.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yes, I've I've learned what he said. Mister Wilson. You
had him in your house, that's right, and he's willing
to talk to you, very sensible.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
He has no choice. He's a prisoner. Oh no, no, sir, No,
he's not begging your pardon, sir.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
But he's my guest and he's been justified.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
That's how you may see him, mister Wilson. But he's
my prisoner.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
I have orders to transfer him too the War College
where that's just what I was afraid of. If you
try any rough stuff on Crocker, there'll be real trouble.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Are you threatening me, mister.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wilson, I could be.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
This is my property and Crucker is my guest.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Now, look, you can't set yourself about the government.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
This capsule and this creature.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Belong to us.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I do well, I'll throw all you off my land.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
But that's not what I was getting at when I
said rough stuff would bring trouble. You're playing with something
from our space, Sanders.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I'm here to take possession of a space capsule and
something that resembles a man. I mean to carry out
my assignment.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
Well, all the luck in the world for you, Crut
safe talk to you. Maybe he can found some sense
into your thick skulf.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Now see here, Oh no, you see here. You watch
your stuff with me.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
You walk very carefully with my little friend Krut.
Speaker 8 (38:05):
You are from your space control.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Yes, sir, who are you?
Speaker 8 (38:13):
I am called Crook. I am from a distant planet.
Its name is of no importance.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
It is to me that maybe how did.
Speaker 8 (38:26):
You reach your Earth in my capsule?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
What was your mission?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
I am an explorer.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Who are your people?
Speaker 8 (38:36):
They are like me?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yes, you have conquered space travel.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
We have explorers everywhere.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Why did you come to Earth?
Speaker 8 (38:48):
I did not intend to. I went off course.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Your capsule caught fire and landed here.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
That is right.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Come with me.
Speaker 8 (38:59):
You making a grade mistake.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
I am obeying orders. You understand that.
Speaker 8 (39:06):
I understand orders, but I do not obey yours.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
This is a gun.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
If you resist, I'm instructed to immobilize it. I stay
out of this now, get a truck and walk out.
Speaker 8 (39:28):
I want mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I don't believe in magic space man that is.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
Your weapon, that metal gun.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yes, and if you don't obey, I'll use it.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
He hugs the guns. It's just a lump of metal.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
Can you use it now?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
The sun is leave well enough alone. I don't know
what crunt did.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
Each one like me a a powerful ray, more powerful
than your strongest current. I can call it up so
within me. Whenever I choose, then I can point a
finger and destroy.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Come on, mister Sanders, I'm convinced, and you saved his life. Wilson,
you gave.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Refuge to an enemy of our country. I will have
you charged with treason.
Speaker 8 (40:29):
I do not think so. Mister and missus Wilson have
treated me like a visitor. I will not forget, neither
will my commander. Do not threaten the Wilsons. We have
(40:50):
come to Earth many times unfriendly missions. We could come
with total destruction.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I'll ask you to leave, mister Sanders.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
And do not try to move the cop shots.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I'll walk you back your helicopter. Mister Sanders, you're.
Speaker 8 (41:12):
Miraculous, cluck, No, just more advanced in scientific technology. Humans
one day will discover what we already know.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
But how about that deadly ray of yours.
Speaker 8 (41:30):
In your seeds. You have deadly ears on land, you
have venomous snakes. My people are small but strong because
we possess the ray in fighters. It is highly developed.
(41:51):
I am a soldier and a fighter. It is time
now for me to go.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Now look outside. They gotta truck back into the pasture.
That's that big list and they're gonna take it away.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Oh no, you know what cross that will happen?
Speaker 8 (42:15):
Look like the sh the command ship. I will go
and read it. It looks like a big mushroom.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Oh, Darren to be killedst just girl, man, come back, garrot.
He sees the command shift.
Speaker 6 (42:37):
What does the trus the flame and clash it?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
But but command got away. See them over there on
the road, shooting their faces from the heat, and.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
They're are the landing step. What's awesome.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
I'm spacious.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
It's gone.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
I can tell you that, along with the lifter and
the truck, the space capsule was turned to ashes. Garrett
Smith escaped, and so did the men brought in by
Professor Danna. When al Wilson wondered later if he and
his wife had consorted with the devil, she replied, as
you might expect, but no, they had consorted with God,
(43:33):
meaning I suppose that they had acted in the interests
of good.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
I'll return shortly.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
Maybe our real.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Worlds are those we explore in our nightmares. When an
experience becomes too acute, we awaken, switch on alike and
forget the frightening dream. That may be foolish, we must
face facts. One of them is that there are other world's,
(44:13):
other life. With a passing of time centuries, perhaps there
certainly will be interplanetary communication, and who knows a puck
they come to visit you. Our cast included John Beale, Marion.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Seldi's, Joe Silver, E. V.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
Justter, and Russell Horton.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
The entire production was under the direction of Hymon Brown Radio.
Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
This is E. G.

another adventure in the macabre. Until next time, Pleasant dreams,
