Original subtitles

it is again sir maybe I'm seeing things

colonel no you're not saying thanks it

was there all right

Oak Ridge area must have been right over

the town no telling where it is by now

I've seen UFOs before colonel but never

one like this you'd have to travel

pretty fast to move around the rains

away this thing's doing 50 miles a

second as a matter of fact I think you

could be some kind of missile out at 180

thousand miles an hour there is the

missile made that comes near that just

like all the other reports one contact

in an area maybe two than nothing here

Defense Command says the boy he's been

picked up all around the globe today

Washington wants to keep a cross-check

on it let's check on what I wish I knew

what kind of crap can possibly fly over

our military posts and cities in broad

daylight without being seen or heard

there's any kind of craft to do that

there has to be some kind of explanation

for this Matthews I think we'll find it

some kind of light aberration or

temperature inversion has happened

before those blips were pretty solid

colonel yes I know they were I know

they've been picked up all over the

country I also know that any object

going through the atmosphere at that

rate of speed would completely

disintegrate I think we better take this

up at the Pacific tech they may be able

to throw some light on it I don't think

we'll be confronted with any problem we

can't answer for ourselves general yes I

know we have a staff of top scientists

in uniform there are also some top

civilians available to us if we need

them the way things are today we can't

afford to take any chances colonel

Maggie speaking Carol hmm no one here

what

where'd you say yes of course we'll have

someone up there to investigate right

away thank you goodbye forest rangers

have found some kind of an object up in

the mountains in a canyon near Bear Lake

now that's not far out of Oak Ridge what

kind of object fall shaped things that

look like a satellite could be the UFO

you better get up there and check it out

hope it isn't another saucer scare for

that reason I won't make a report to lay

here from you better take a radio car

yes sir now the Rangers will be waiting

for you to turn off at the lake just

past Grant's Lodge let me know what you

find out

get me dr. Carl Sorensen Pacific tech

astrophysics department a canyon near

Bear Lake that'd be Stone Canyon yes

we'd like very much if you could go up

there or I could make it up there within

an hour that'll be fine doctor thank you

very much

I'm glad to be of assistance

yes they knew about it all the time it's

probably one of their experimental

projects all right where is this object

over in the canyon just a short ways

over that rise funny how these specific

tech fellas get around wants to come in

by the back fire road

down there sir

what do you make of it colonel no let's

get a closer look at it

what's that

Matthews that's right I'm Carl Sorensen

Pacific tech general Nolan asked me to

meet you here thought it might be of

some help

bad figures well what have you decided I

see you have your radiation equipment

operation there's radiation around here

all right but I haven't yet figured out

what kind that they could say for us to

go down there well I can't say for

certain that it's safer to go down there

colonel but as far as radiation is

concerned it too safe down there as it

is here I guess you're right about that

let's go

what is this then colonel

Horace pace and the calculated guess

that's it was you would find anything

into it metal something like a more like

glass seems fairly solid at the thick

skin anyway what are the chances there's

something's inside what do you think

might say no no ports no seams

instruments probably most likely some

kind of observation unit wouldn't you

say something like good I mean I don't

think any kind of living thing could be

in there oh not as we know it anyway oh

yeah you're probably right it's the

instrument gray secure to the car and

radio the air base tell him to send an

art cart detail here immediately equip

for field duty

inform the general I'll give a full

report presently yes right away I'll

have to ask you to keep completely quiet

about this for the present anyway yeah I

guess the folks down in Oak Ridge would

get panicky if they knew there was some

kind of mysterious object up here you

can count on me colonel

good any idea what keeps this thing off

the ground deploying the law of gravity

but something like gravity in Reverse I

think like anti-gravity anti-gravity

never heard of a force like that for

years it's been nothing but a theory but

then again I've never seen an object

from interstellar space before either

knowledge of what makes this thing work

could be the greatest military weapon of

all time space supremacy could be ours

overnight they do say knowledge is power

that's right they're two kinds of power

constructive and destructive are you

talk of space supremacy and weapons I

think that's the wrong type of thinking

I guess you're entitled to your opinion

look Colonel this object is obviously

traveled millions of miles through outer

space some intelligence has caused it to

be here

some technology far superior to ours

where it came from how it got to be here

what is here for those are the important

questions I believe it's a question of

which team you're on there's only one

team now colonel ever since Hiroshima

the military and science are one in the

same now I agree with you dr. Soares for

that reason I'm sure I won't have any

trouble getting all the expert help I

need you to find out what makes this

thing tick you may need more than that

who or whatever caused this object to be

here it's obvious they're gonna maintain

some sort of control over its fate

there maybe right I don't know but also

to find out General Nolan requested your

aid on this project he must have had

good reasons it's up to you Sorenson

garden details on its way colonel should

be here in a couple of hours good get

general Dolan for me yes sir

Oh bill what's all the activity hi Cathy

what do you say Ken hi I knew you found

a strange object up here some people

think it's one of our satellites what is

it a flying saucer pardon me ma'am would

you mind telling me who told you well

tiss how can people find out about it's

a soul who knows party-line probably you

know how small towns are that's how I

found out why is it a military secret it

was or so I thought

this is Colonel Mathews Kathy from Air

Force intelligence hello my father was

in the Air Force he was a jet pilot in

the war wasn't he mother you a football

star too yes that's right Ken but what

you want to be Ken football star a jet

pilot no sir how are things at the lodge

Cathy is bought set for the winter the

last guests left this morning what's

your plan colonel first make a report of

the general second cut a road and get

some equipment in here and move that

thing back to the air base third find

out what's inside it'll be pretty quiet

around here until spring I guess Cathy

owns the lodge up here well I planned on

using your place as a headquarters I

hope you can accommodate us yes of

course we've lots of room take over

anytime colonel that's the kind of

cooperation I like consider yourself in

the hands of the military

Matthew general Nolan is standing by for

me I'm Carl thorns and I may also be on

your guest list dr. Carl Sorensen the

astrophysicist that's right Muhtar he's

a famous scientist who discover normal

Chron radiation what was that stone I've

read some of your books I'm not sure I

understand it although Oh perhaps you

oughta sit down sometime and discuss the

parts you don't understand honest that

sure be swell as you can see you have an

admirer ken wants to be an astronomer

when he grows up

I can see that we can certainly use you

can do you plan to stay at the lodge

tonight then dr. Sorenson well that

actually depends on what happens between

now and then with your strange object

you mean if something supposed to happen

do you expect something to develop

doctor I'm not sure about that either I

see well it was nice talking to you

goodbye bye ma'am don't forget we're

gonna have a conference I won't forget

alright man just now the heavy equipment

won't get in there till tomorrow morning

just keep the area well posted give out

no information are you a doctor Saracen

gettin along

oh we're great pals just pulled out

you mean he's left he's coming back

isn't he I'm afraid so general I hope so

we need him on this operation

part McHale but surely the source and

isn't the only side as we can call upon

is that a touch conflicting I don't

think he gives a hang about the military

never mind his attitude he has his

reasons just try and work with him I'll

try sir but you know how these civilians

are I guess I shoulda told you before

Karl Sorenson holds the rank of Major

General in the reserves secondly if it

has been for Soros and we may never have

had the a-bomb how would you feel if you

were a man responsible for such a weapon

I understand general right

who knows maybe we've been wrong all

these years maybe there isn't such a

forces gravity pulling everything

towards the center of the earth I

suppose there is this unknown cosmic ray

particle similar let's say to x-ray

pressing in on everything pushing

everything down in proportion to its

mass now let's assume that there is such

a such a force if we could control it we

might be able to to make an object such

as that sphere move when we wanted to

and they suspended when we wanted to are

you with me rich cow why is it every

time I am almost able to prove out one

of your theories you come up with a new

one that proves I'm all wrong

anti-gravity imagine what my students

would say if tomorrow morning I should

walk into the class and say students if

you drop an apple from that window it

would not fall to the ground the larger

body does not attract the smaller one as

we have always thought no students the

apple will be pushed to the ground

because dr. Sorenson says it so you know

you're on the right track which I am

yeah

here let me show you something

suppose we had some sort of a control

device within this sphere whereby we

could screen off any portion of this

surface call it a type of deflector with

it we could control the speed and

direction of this object you know it is

an interesting speculation rich I need

help I need your answers well I can run

some figures through univac let's say

some time good let me know what you come

up with I'll be at the lodge or else in

my office Oh Carl how about the solar

motor you said yesterday was top

priority well that was yesterday today

it's second top priority it doesn't

matter I'm stuck anyway something's

wrong right here in the photon chamber

I'm sure your theory is right Carl

I must have made a mistake no one has

ever made a mistake before don't worry

you'll come up with the answers I know

you will and top secret again you know

where to draw the line it is unfortunate

how much more all of us could learn

without these international barriers

my plan is to have a road cut around

through here and you can move your

equipment in you can back it directly

under the object shouldn't be any

problem a bulldozer will take care of in

a couple of hours Zoid I'd like this

thing on the Air Force Base by a little

more leaning yes sir pardon me sir

there's another newsmen outside tell him

the same as the others you'll have to

check with general Nolan I did sir said

he thinks someone's passing the buck

toll of he's probably right any sign of

dr. Sorenson no sir

so try his office again no no no we

can't do much in the morning anyway

everything is secure up to Stone Canyon

yes sir

class radio' report said that the entire

area is completely surrounded all roads

are posted oh that's all emigrate major

I think we'll find data and instruments

inside this thing that'll put us far in

the lead in the race into space

corporal I'm going up to the lodge and

some official business here in charge I

don't want any goofing off you

understand right no goofing off you know

the orders no one is allowed in or out

of this can you know what's authorised

right no one is allowed in or out what

do you mean out of the canyon is there

somebody in this area besides us look

those are the orders corporal that's all

I know why don't you guys start getting

Jerry what's that what's what over there

something moved in the shadow there's

nothing out there look don't start

seeing things I was sure I saw something

probably an owl or a rabbit or something

it's nothing kid not take it easy just

our imagination that's right so don't

want to run away with you you guys

settle down

hey what are you looking for anyway

what's the matter with you what are you

doing out here I thought I heard

something

somebody walkie that was nothing I guess

I think you need a furlough buddy

Colonel Mathews around

yeah but he's busy right now anything

important Oh

it'll wait heard some somebody walk

who's never liked the sunny island okay

mom that'll be 180 my dad will take care

of it he'll be right back yes between

you and me miss that carnal your wit is

a pretty nice guy tell me more

just as I thought threaten with the

bartender behind my back well he was

telling me that for an air force officer

you're a pretty nice guy well I take it

you don't go for men in uniform I'll

apply for my discharge immediately the

same thing bill said on our first date

and you'll married him anyway

three months later Korea I never saw him

again

want to talk about it you know ken

thumbed it up earlier anyway I'm sorry

about Ken must be pretty rough on you

not to he's a good boy he's the one

that's got it rough he study so hard

science mostly he wants to do so many

things when he grows up

poor darling I'll never get to do any of

them how long six months a year maybe

doctors don't really know why why don't

they know with all the progress we're

making why don't they know the answer

why can't a little boy have an equal

chance I don't know I wish I did

hey y'all favorite tune how about the

stands

I thought you'd never find me colonel

the generals on radio he has a message

for you oh great

24 hours Nolan they call him excuse me

sergeant sir cieariy on the double yes

sir

what was what did you see in there today

with a gray I'll be right back yes sir

nothing sir the MPs over there then

around all the time they haven't seen

anyone come or go but Colonel I want to

tell you about something what is it

sergeant

well it may sound kind of funny but a

little while ago and just as I pulled

into the parking lot when I turned off

my lights I

the whole town's in an uproar you know

most of the people think we've been

invaded or something can't blame them I

guess what about Univ a every tape on

the machine was de magnetized

it'll take a couple of days to get

everything back in order you think

someone didn't want us to make any

calculations for a while or do any

radiation research they got into the

specimen vol all the materials will have

to be replaced but that isn't all take a

look at this hmm why this is the photon

chamber you you found the mistake I

didn't I didn't touch this diagram I

know you haven't someone has made a

correction in this blueprint a change

has been made in the wiring causing a

feedback I tried it call it works

perfectly who or whatever did made these

changes he really knew what he was doing

there must be some connection between

all of this and the sphere

well Malthus didn't seem to feel so he

seems to think it's all a series of

coincidences he's gonna have a tough

time convincing the people of that

there's a mob down at the sheriff's

office demanding something be done

before everybody is killed and I'm not a

soul has been scratched not yet anyway I

don't think anybody will be then you do

think we have a visitor from space yes I

do I think it's some form of it started

thinking

listen Sorenson the people of Oak Ridge

are demanding that I drop a bomb or

something on that sphere I can't see but

their imaginations come out of that

thing how can you be sure that well I

can't be certain of course I'll need

proof you've been able to learn anything

I'm going on the assumption that some

sort of a creature has come out of that

sphere dr. Sorenson it's a little hard

for me to assume that some creature as

you call it could have got past all

those guards without being seen why not

oh there's no reason to believe that

life from some other planet necessarily

resembles or acts the same as we do

I suggest we wait and see what develops

I'm certain that you'll find out what

this is all about when it though they

are ready to let us know you do whatever

you please I'm certainly not going to

wait and do nothing why all this panic

and

chan goes on I don't attend letting that

sphere sit up there without knowing

what's in sight we're moving it out of

the canyon at dawn whether without your

aid good night Ellie still planning on

moving it up to the military post I

don't need a calculating machine to tell

you what his chances are I know what you

mean I guess we're gonna go up there and

see what we can do to help ya better put

this on he's pretty cool up Vince doing

Canyon when he got here Carl your own

half a - free hey yeah don't get home

much anymore these days are you looking

for something yeah yeah here it is

remember this the MX one we called it

course I remember but you might tell me

how this is gonna help us on this

project beauty

what's that all about another cat boy I

want to see what it looked like

lookee down in the radiation and

research room well how'd you know what

come here if the calculated guess not

rich there's our cosmic man like it

solid mass and any thoughts solid like a

creature made of matter than yet it's

more like antimatter emitting Ray's

rather than reflecting them like the

reverse of everything as we know it like

x-ray pictures of things we can't see

only the unknown rays what's it doing

their way suppose it's after this new

penis you know I believe this thing is

an observer take care see you but now

what was that too late apparently our

friend didn't want to make contact yet

well we better get up to the lodge

well I'm giving you a pointer I'm sorry

I'm late I had a rather important

visitor oh the thing from space I

suppose that's a matter of fact yes okay

what do you have to say about all this

we didn't discuss it you mean you didn't

make friends or maybe the thing can't

talk what's that some kind of secret

weapon you might consider it a secret

weapon good you better get it up to the

canyon just in case your friend objects

to having his ship moved good morning

where's Kenny up yet no no not you we

waited up for you I mean Ken stayed up

late hoping you might come back last

night

I guess you were too busy with other

things hell I thought you'd have your

hands full with a military and all maybe

you shouldn't think so much some things

can't be calculated I can make a mistake

I'm human you are hard to figure out

now who's calculating I guess that makes

us even

what about the colonel no he's really

very nice just sensitive

I mean stubborn oh no that's not it

he's afraid I think afraid of you mostly

and what you stand for he's afraid

you're right than that he's wrong I

think he'd like to admit you're right

but he's too proud seems to be a common

problem today everybody's afraid of

scientists they seem to feel we know

some sort of deep dark secret about the

mysteries of life really they're not

afraid of what the scientists know

they're afraid of what they themselves

don't know all we're trying to do is

find the answers to a lot of questions I

know I well I I have to go out I'll see

you later

will you tell Ken I won't keep him

waiting again I'll tell

I did not want to frighten you

you are Katherine drunk forgive me I

didn't hear your car driving my vehicle

is part beyond I desire lodging in this

place will you be able to accommodate me

well you see are you one of the

scientists they're expecting it is

possible the dr. Sorenson is expecting

me yes I guess I'm a little nervous

won't you please come in

you just missed dr. Sorenson he left for

the canyon only a moment before you came

yes I know

if you wish I could drive you up there

in a few minutes I've got a few things

to do this will not be necessary I can

do my work as well here I will see the

doctor when he returns Hey if you have

your choice of rooms we've got Nurik you

guessed this test if you please I would

like complete privacy I am much in need

of rest would you like breakfast coffee

or anything I did know

very nice quiet room in the back I'll

show you

do not bother I shall find the room you

have a child who does not walk all right

but ER are you there get enough time

I'll be there in a minute Kenny

I'll try the bulldozer no that won't go

it either

now go interesting I've ever run into we

might just probably trying to move that

whole mouth cost about the same thing

major

I would now sir model crew standing by

yes your best men equipment

octo looming torches and cut through

anything

Nixie equipment yes sir

all right men get it out of here have

any luck colonel no it's some kind of

impervious metal or whatever it's male

it's like the nose cone of an ICBM it'll

withstand temperatures of over 10,000

degrees Fahrenheit yeah Colonel never

meant thanks our cutting equipment de

bellas pretty close to that temperature

we didn't make a mark on it the only

thing that could do the job how about

this plasma jet I've been hearing about

what's that I never heard of it it will

be for long

plasma jet can reach over 30,000 degrees

with it you can vaporize that or any

other kind of matter still in the

experimental stage I think you could

take it out of the experimental stage

long enough to cut into that thing I

could but I wouldn't I didn't think it

would but Colonel supposing you were to

land an airplane in a remote district in

Africa an emergency landing with that

give the natives the right to tear your

plane apart because they were curious

about something they'd never seen before

I don't want to destroy this thing or

anything else I just want to know what's

inside I want to know why it's here how

it got here and where it came from

well we're after the same answer yes but

at least I'm trying to do something

about it

so am i I want to run some experiments I

need your help

go ahead Sorenson

sergeant

doesn't this colonel all morning those

ways have been passing to and from the

sphere what is it you know I'm not sure

yet but it follows a definite pattern

I've made a sound recording of it we

might be able to break it down later

could be a communication signal as it

could be what's the function of that

break or we know that there's an

electromagnetic field around that sphere

we've been checking on it all morning we

found out that the brighter the light

the stronger the charge yeah look at

this indicator all right sergeant twelve

volts from one reflective do you know

what this could mean well I don't what

does it mean it means that if we knew

enough about that field we could operate

every electrical appliance at Oakridge

by sunlight you'll mainly converse light

waves into electricity just like that

just like that

what we're happened to an electrical

current should convert the light I don't

know we're gonna find out Aaron gray

take this equipment out to the sphere

yes sir

that thing might become a blinding light

you better have your men turn their

backs or better yet they cover

well the 12-volt battery I don't know

everything that's why I'm using only 12

volts tell him on the take cover

yes sir all right men

what are you thinking you act like a man

about to set off a bomb Sarika

all right rich better take cover the

others

sure

it wasn't grounded

you all right yeah well we know one

thing it doesn't conduct electricity it

converts it into sound waves we know

something else proper current crossing

that field would cause a sonic blaster

to wipe a city off the face of the earth

you really believe something's come out

of that thing I'm fairly certain of it

we've got to find out what it wants here

but powers like this would be in serious

trouble if faced with an invasion

we're unprepared for anything like this

maybe there isn't going to be an

invasion

maybe not but we've got to find out what

it wants listen Sorenson maybe I

understand your viewpoint I try to look

at it this way supposing one of these

spheres landed somewhere in Russia you

can't deny the value of this thing's

technology you don't think our enemy

waste any time getting at it suppose

they got the answers first that's a good

point colonel we can't afford to sit and

wait far as I can see we haven't any

choice general no understanding by sir

he wants to note all the delay is about

well tell them all ex-flame tell them I

run it I'll tell her myself

and suppose this phantom atom contains

particles of a mass of m- vibrating

along the axis X under a force of KX

toward the origin you know the equation

rate got it if left alone those

particles should vibrate with a constant

amplitude and frequency of six - forever

right right right but they won't be left

alone if they should pass through an

electrical or a magnetic field

containing the right properties will

they a deflected right right but a

deflector like that would be sure death

what's put your phantom atoms wide open

it's got other particles vibrating out

of frequency they'd collide with each

other who knows what might happen like

in a cyclotron well almost but not quite

you see we're dealing in opposites here

everything's in Reverse you might say

right all right all right

richer I forgotten what's the what's the

speed of light well let's see I didn't

know I know 186,000 miles per second all

right right right look Ken moving at

that speed how far would a spaceship

travel in one year about six trillion

miles

that's one light year that's right right

know how far it is to the nearest star

Alpha Centauri four light-years I think

you think right Ken I wouldn't be

surprised if you're the first man to

reach that star how about it no I want

to go to the moon moon why the moon

because it's not so far away I hate to

break up this conference but it's time

for your dinner young man well I am glad

you didn't come any sooner we couldn't

get along without his assistance thank

you Ken

thank you very very much that's all

right dr. Sorenson is that what you

think the cosmic mans from Alpha

Centauri what I didn't

what makes you think I think there is

such a man mother said you did she said

she heard you talking to Colonel Mathews

about the possibility she said she bit

you right - well I didn't know you were

a betting woman I hmm

whatever made you I never know you took

it so well cough remember what I said

together I remember I don't get any

ideas besides she's partial to the

military not from where I was watching

speaking of I wonder what's happened to

our colonel I imagine he's quite busy

explaining to the general what went on

earth this afternoon how'd you like that

job no thanks you know the general

seemed pretty upset and quite confused

about the whole thing and he's gonna be

more confused before the nights over I

think more observations you mean you

know apparently only operates at night

well that's part of the answer

look he's obviously partially visible

during the daytime but totally invisible

at night

I think it knows what we've been doing

yes I do message is relayed from the

sphere from a master brain transmitted

about how mental telepathy baby I don't

know are you gonna tell the colonel

about your magnetic deflector idea you

know what we'll do

yes I know I won't tell him unless I

have to getting late you're getting

nervous I hope we make contact before

now before dark afraid something might

go wrong tonight some serious damage

is that it no I I hope not I could only

break this thing down if I could contact

the cosmic man if I could communicate

somehow it's the fertile general Mullins

with I thought he would be look rich

will you do me a favor go out and get

the mx1 and set it up in the living room

we're gonna have a surprise party a

surprise but of course it's a great idea

now then if this thing does is you say

Sorenson any one of a dozen of these

installations might be the target for

tonight the destruction of any one of

them would seriously cripple our

military strength we can't be sure that

the thing is still in this area at all

hmm

you mean it might turn up in another

part of the state or country possible

there not very likely this very

deliberately true this area in which to

land and this would imply that it was

after something in this vicinity

last night's reports would indicate that

it was particularly interested in our

ion propulsion in our radiation research

of these three plants are particularly

interested in that work and there is a

chance to stop your cosmic man will set

a trap capture what kind of a trap

general we'll set up a whole battery

lights force a thing to surrender at

gunpoint how do you know that guns offer

any threat to this form of life I don't

know but I'll be prepared to find out if

it becomes necessary and if that doesn't

work we have something else that will

professor Stein Holtz has been working

on it Dino when did he get into this

operation

no offense was intended Sorenson we just

felt that two heads are better than one

he arrived from Washington this morning

what did he ever say about it he hasn't

said he's to contact us here shortly he

must be the stranger who arrived this

morning what's dangerous well I didn't

get his name he said he was one of the

scientists he wanted a room so he could

rest he didn't want to be disturbed

where is he I guess he's still in his

room I wasn't expecting any visitors

couldn't be dr. Stein Holtz I talked

with him just before coming up here I

wonder if he's still here well what do

you do what the cosmic man have to

capture in general what do you mean son

mm-hmm I mean would you lock him up and

make him tell all the secrets of his

world yes general just what would you do

with it if you did capture him suppose

he was to offer you some kind of an

ultimatum are we prepared to make a deal

remember we're not dealing with an

intelligence in our own level I think

you underestimate our intellect dr.

Sorenson I believe we are prepared to

discuss universal relations with your

cosmic man what supposing he's not able

to

contact us to tell us the nature of his

business I know what you could fill the

space chamber for him you know what I

mean dr. Sorenson suppose he can't live

in our atmosphere you can figure out how

to duplicate his own so he'd be at home

here then you both can figure out a way

how to talk to each other you think

something like that would work Sorenson

tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna

take it up to the National Academy and

wait a minute and we'll help us right

now

Matthews radio headquarters haven't sent

some fun lights up to those plants and

squad a well armed men and what's that

thing this is the MX number one it might

be called a secret weapon secret weapon

what is it it's a weapon permit a vision

to combat the problems of outer space

present for you Ken

father a real telescope not really dr.

Sorenson this is hardly the time for

we've got to find that infernal cosmic

man what happened do not be alarmed I am

here in the dogs

it is better that I remain concealed you

do not understand my appearance who are

you I demand you state your business

here your demands mean nothing to me

it has been decided however that I will

speak to those of you who are the

expressed words and thoughts of

understand you dr. Sorenson are engaged

in a difficult field of endeavor your

search for truth in a society who fears

the truth but you and others like you

are the hope of the world you must hold

to your conditions you must continue

your work the fate of your civilization

will become your responsibility what's

he talking about what's he mean the fate

of our civilization come out of there so

I can see you as you wish general we're

not concerned with your international

politics general it is your philosophy

that concerns us but that would be of no

importance why you're not about to

embark on interspatial yes intergalactic

travel but the peoples of your society

must develop a new concept of thinking

adopt and practice new values and

principles of living together before

they will be ready to encounter the

civilizations of the universe he don't

expect me to believe your only concern

is in the mental attitude of the people

all right general there are other

motives but they offer you no great

pause I am one of many cosmonauts our

purpose is manifold we travel far

searching out and exploring new worlds

of which there are countless millions in

this universe and he observers such as I

have visited this planet before me more

will come in the future what we learn by

forms atmosphere

raw materials all this knowledge is

transmitted to all the advanced

civilizations in the three cosmos some

worlds are all their peoples must

migrate to younger planets where living

conditions are similar

some worlds are likeness but having

abundance of life-giving material which

to be shared by all your vast oceans for

instance have been mine for centuries by

a society from a far distant world the

materials they remove will never be

events you store any living creature of

your world the cycle of your daily your

atmosphere in power certain limitations

upon my operations it is necessary that

I leave your world at the break of day I

was asked your general not to attempt

the interference which to contemplate

Ifill caused no harm unless provoked you

must mean Stein holds wait a minute I

want to know your plans it is better for

all that you do not know

one more moving on fire radio debate

I've every available man station

nerado's atomic plants have all roads

leading from this area black holes it's

urgent

good it's about time maybe he's got the

answer what are you going to do now I

don't know try to get the Stein hope

before you get the equipment I need to

get think he has it figured out I know

it I know it he's got to figure it out

alright you do know then you know how

the cosmic man can be destroyed

we've got to stop him before he gets to

a magnet that he needs to do the

experiment come on it sure looks bad for

dr. Sorenson in the cosmic man doesn't

know it looks bad I'm still betting on

him I am too I see thank you very much

an army took all those electromagnet

away from the atomic fight over an hour

ago they must be up there by now it

looks like Stein how it's how to figure

it all right general holds all the Aces

unless we can find a cosmonaut before

dawn that would solve the problem well

maybe we can get him to the sphere

before the general is ready for him come

on right

sergeant Christien don't know I've got

to see him it's important he's not here

sir I know you know where he is no tell

me where is he

please open Stone can remind you colonel

you can't go through with this plan

don't you understand you may be

destroying the only opportunity we'll

ever have of establishing friendly

relations with Langley

look here sarsen I'll show you about

funded relations rocket propulsion

incorporated 7:35 p.m. contamination

supply of liquid hydrogen and other

exotic fuels cause unknown but we know

don't we Sorenson national electric 8:45

p.m. radioactive material thorium

actinium and uranium exposed to

bombardment of mysterious cosmic rays

delivery of order of atomic reactors

postponed indefinitely mysterious cosmic

rays does that sound like friendly

relations and very hurt and occasionally

fortunately not but the losses on the

millions I hope you realize that all

basic elements he's evidently been

running a complete test in every atom we

know and a few we don't know it looks

like call it what you will no matter how

you put it to think an international

menace I think you're taking this too

seriously colonel all those materials

can be replaced it is for those new

developments they may be obsolete in a

year or two anyway the important thing

is that no one was killed and no one was

hurt what does that prove

people didn't happen to be in a way

that's all it proved a whole lot to me

it proves that they know what they're

doing it proves that they could render

us a completely help with society

anytime they wished and without killing

a soul that's more than we can do the

atom bomb you mean I know all about that

Sorenson I know you must have a guilty

conscience because of your contribution

to Hiroshima well you don't have to

worry about this you don't have to have

any part of it you put a magnetic field

around that sphere you're gonna have

more on your conscience than an a-bomb

sergeant don't let this man out of your

sight

yes sir I'm sorry Sorenson but I can't

afford any more interference

that was a very nice thing you did for

Ken I wanted to thank you earlier but I

liked him

I heard what the colonel said it just

isn't there anything you can do Carl not

unless we can find the cosmic man before

morning and then I'm not sure I'm not

sure about anything anymore maybe I've

been wrong all the time maybe I've been

telling myself the wrong things just

because I wanted them to go that way

maybe maybe the cosmic man is an evil

force you don't think that's true and I

know it

neither does dr. Richie I don't either

remember what he said about how you're

searching for the truth while everyone

around you is afraid of the truth about

how you have to hold on to your

convictions that's what you've got to do

Carl you know you're right so do I I'm

betting on it Kathy let me tell you

something about betting the odds are

against you in a longshot I know I can

prove it mathematically you may be right

but think of how much I'll win if my

Dark Horse comes in Thanks

now don't say anything I know what

you're thinking that's carefully

doing fine

check him what are you doing up at this

hour you leave a planned chance at all

kinds of games I don't understand you've

no right to Ken you should have called

me it's the middle of the night ken must

have his rest

it was my fault mother I asked a mistake

we were having such fun yes we were

having fun weren't we the boy has given

me much pleasure and a needed diversion

from my work I thought you had gone no

one has seen you all day

did you talk to dr. Sorenson yes we

communicated earlier in the evening but

I didn't want to go without becoming

better acquainted with your boy I see

you're leaving then yes very soon I have

far to travel and must start early I've

already stayed too long

forgive me if I've inconvenienced you

perhaps we can continue our games at

some future time

bye my boy goodbye and remember to

practice your chess game yes I will do

that thank you for teaching me how to

play we're by a few a boat sure game

fast but I beat him every time we talked

about all kinds of things he sure does

know a lot almost as much as dr.

Sorenson but not quite is that him now

you go to sleep it's getting late

alright alright never wake me up in time

to go to storm Canyon I want to see the

cosmic man leave do you think you will

the general doesn't think so dr.

Sorenson will find a way to help him I

bet he's got things fixed up right now I

sure wish I could help

calm down I'll wake you in time promise

promise

do not be afraid

all right at me

Carl oh good morning cut Carl I'm

worried about them yeah so am I

I hope the cosmic man had come back

before dawn do you think it's possible

that that man is he's so strange his

voice his face what man what are you

talking about that scientist that doctor

whatever his name is he was in Kim's

room

they were playing chess is he still

there no he left he said he had to leave

early he had to travel far he did say

though that he had his talk with you did

least not for me still they came as

harmless doctor

I am here

now come closer any of you if you do as

I say no harm will be done to this boy

come have no fear you will turn off the

electrical apparatus he's that smarter

this all right turn off the magnetic

field everybody get back wait wait if

anything happens to Kenneth

present my work here is finished

if I should return in the future perhaps

we will meet with a better understanding

who remain where you are till I have

gone
