RETURN
We are circling this beautiful city at one thousand feet. Our visit
here has been so wonderful and everywhere there has been so much beauty
that we surely do hope to be able to return here sometime in the
future. In the meantime we are taking as much of it all with us as our
memories can contain, so we are feasting our eyes on this beauty as our
ship circles in air.
Now the ship is hooking onto Mars' light beam and the pilots have set
the controls for full speed ahead.
We are now approaching the previous so-called dust cloud. On entering
it we notice it is not as dense this time as it was when we were coming
in. We are through it.
Again we are encountering a heavy meteoric shower, only now they seem
to be much heavier than the shower we saw coming in on the way to
Venus. It is amazing to sit here and watch them passing through space
and especially now since we have seen them before and have a little
more understanding of them than we previously had. We watch a little
closer in relation to our ship, as by this time you no doubt know that
the ship has its repulsing power in operation for protection.
When we watch them closely we notice what has been explained to us on
our way in, that a meteor which is about to cross our path and would
strike us, when it makes contact with this repulsing power at the five
hundred mile distance, does take on a sudden drop effect instead of
continuing in a straight line. It is quite exciting to watch this.
As we sit here watching the flight of the meteors and reviewing in mind
the many things that have been told us, among which was the statement
that the secret of the law using this repulsing power had not been
revealed to us, we realized that neither have we been told about the
air mixture which they can make suitable for any purpose instead of
carrying oxygen tanks and so forth. As you know, previously we have
been told a little about it, but not in detail of its technique.
Now one of the scientists has turned on a screen which has not been
turned on before and he tells us to watch it. This screen is capable of
being moved to any angle. Upon it, he tells us, he is going to focus
other solar systems like ours which he will explain a little for our
better understanding.
The first one we see coming into clear focus upon the screen he calls
the 'Granitonia System'. And he continues, "This one is fifty trillion
light years ahead of our solar system in advancement. It is far larger
in size than our system for it has twelve planets within it, the
smallest of which is far larger than any planet we have, and its sun is
vast in size."
Now Granitonia is fading out of the picture and we see another one
coming into view on the opposite side of the ship. This system is
still larger in size than the Granitonia System but not larger in
planetary number for it has within its orbit only eleven planets
and its sun. This system's name is 'Sanafia'. All these systems are
inhabited. The Sanafia solar system is the one that the inhabitants of
our solar system enter next through progression.
Here we commented, "since all these other systems are named, what is
the name of our system for it too must surely have one."
"Our system is known as the 'Antinoma System'. As for your planet which
you call Earth, its name is 'Chinsia', planet Chinsia. To you men from
there we have spoken of it as the Earth planet for that is what you
call it, but in reality all planets are earth planets. Therefore for
convenience of identity all are specifically named, as you know."
Then he tells us that, "You have been amazed with the advancement of
life within our system upon these planets which you have been permitted
to visit on this trip, but this advancement which you have seen is but
a beginning and it is very crude. It might even be said to be very
poor in the structure of its inhabitants. You have exclaimed that this
is all so exquisite and beautiful in contrast with your planet. That
is about the difference between this system of ours and the Sanafia
System. To tell you some things about these systems, you could not
begin to grasp what we were talking about for you have to live it
before you can perceive it."
"These are only two of our great systems nearest to us among the
trillions of them and this is all for the children of the Creator,
which you and I and all inhabitants of space are. When they serve the
Father by doing His will, this is their reward. A monotony by those
serving unto the Father is unknown. The great Father of all creation
knew that if there was not constant newness and constant everlasting
growth towards the ultimate, which is the Father Himself, monotony
would set in which would be the destroyer of men, who are His children.
So this vastness has been created that His children may forever be
going forward, each step toward greater realization, greater joy, and
greater beauty without end. But they must become obedient unto His
will and use their will only as a channel of obedience. For their will
alone carries a monotonous nature which is unnatural to the Father and
your Earthly brethren have not learned yet to do His Will. Instead,
all are serving their own will. You call it your 'free will'. By doing
so you have created much monotony of living that causes you to be
dissatisfied, impatient. As a result you perpetrate more destruction
than construction, all by trying to offset the monotonous conditions by
which you are bound. In the end that monotony destroys you.
"But you, being a child of the Creator, as all the rest are, you are
endowed with the birthright of our Father's Kingdom and that birthright
is His Will, while your will is but an open channel of service unto
Him acting as a passport, as you men would call it on the Earth, unto
eternity and a life that has yet not been perceived by the greatest for
its greatness."
Now he is turning the screen off, telling us that this was done only
to prove to us that the Kingdom of the Infinite is vast and that we
are someday to view it as a whole. He says he could show us many more
through the same screen but by this time we are nearing Mars.
We are now circling over Mars. Here we are coming in for a landing to
the same airport we have left. We have landed and are greeted by many
people including the leaders of the planet who tells us that, "at the
same time you were leaving Venus, a ship also left here for the Moon.
The crew of this ship was instructed to see that your ship was as it
should be for your return trip to the Earth, and they took a load of
fuel with them to refuel your ship. Also they have installed a small
instrument in the ship by which we will be able to keep track more
distinctly of you as you travel towards the Earth."
He did not say what part of the ship this instrument was installed in
or what kind of an instrument it was.
He did tell us, "the moment it enters the Earth atmosphere it will
disintegrate. Do not look for it as you might find it and interfere
with it. Its perfect operation might mean life or death to you. Should
you encounter any trouble between the Moon and the Earth, by means of
this instrument we can help you and pull you safely through any danger
you might encounter."
From the airport we are now taken to the Temple of Science for dinner
and an evening with the Martonian scientists.
During the dinner which was given in our honor by a group of Martonian
scientists, one of them spoke up, telling us "your Earth planet is
slightly off balance. It has been thrown off its natural axis by the
exploding of powerful explosives and due to this there are going to be
some atmospheric changes take place on the Earth within the next ten
years definitely. These changes are now beginning to take place. You on
Earth should be cautious in handling the new power called atomic power,
since you have not yet found the element which goes into it which makes
it serviceable but not dangerous, while if you harness the power of the
cosmic ray and use it for transmission on your broadcasting stations
you can reach us but you never will be able to contact us with the
power you are using at present. We have reached you many times with
this same power, but as we have told you before your scientists need
much development. They have at present too many complications and too
little simplicity, and as a result every time they encounter strange
waves or noises as they call them, they try to class them everything
but what they are. As a result they do not receive our communications
as they should be receiving them by this time. We have explained that
before."
"You have one man who promoted a strange thought which has not been
understood by many of your people. This thought is that there is
another dimension, known as the fourth dimension. Scientists called
astronomers have taken some thought of this, but all forms of science
should take it and should also coordinate with each other as they are
not now coordinated. Then and then only will they succeed in getting
the exact key to nature's laws, because only men of science can know
what the fourth dimension actually is. They will then have another
problem on their hands. For you see, you have been dealing all these
ages in a three dimensional life or world. These three dimensions are
effective dimensions. So you have been dealing with effects and not
taking cause very much into consideration. As a result your sciences
have become complicated and what you have found was by a chance and not
by knowledge. The fourth dimension we have spoken of on your Earth now
is really one cause dimension of one of the three effective dimensions.
So to have all dimensions and live within them, as you understand the
fourth, you will have the fifth and sixth to learn, for at present you
say number one but you really have only half a number. Your number one
is but an effect. You haven't got the cause in that one. Thus the one
may be said is only half of one. In this way you only express half
the life that you should be expressing upon the Earth, or within the
effective field. And here again we may say that is why man's will is
operating, the other is not, which is the Divine Will. The Divine Will
is the cause will while man's will is the effective will. Once men
of science have learned all of this, more than half of their present
knowledge will have to be cast aside. That part will be the complicated
part and it must be replaced by simplicity. Another thing that all men
of science must do on Earth, and that is to become science, by living
science and not merely for honors and rewards. All sciences should be
coordinated to be as one, not divided as they are."
"Let me show you how foolish your present scientists are all because of
divisions among the various types of sciences."
"Chemists in a chemical laboratory tell their pupils that a rock can
only be a rock because of the elements which compose it and these
elements are mostly moisture of one form or another, especially oxygen,
hydrogen, and nitrogen. In some rocks these may be more abundant than
in others but in each case these elements are present, for to dehydrate
rocks of these elements they would become dust. That is what a pupil is
told in his chemistry classroom."
"The same pupil now goes to an astronomy classroom. Here he is told
that the Moon is a great mass of rocks, created mostly of rock
formation and it is absolutely void of oxygen or air. Can you figure
that one out?"
"In the chemistry department the pupil is told that a rock cannot be
a rock without these elements, that when it is dehydrated it becomes
dust, yet here in the next classroom he is told that here on the Moon
the rocks are abundant yet the Moon is devoid of air or oxygen. Does
that make any sense?"
"It is all due to the lack of coordination of sciences. Just like this
one. In this one classroom you are told both of these things. You are
told that the Moon is hot on the side exposed to the Earth, then you
are told that the side that the Earth never sees is awfully cold.
But they didn't tell you that where the cold and the hot meet there
is more than likely to be a temperate zone, which you know since you
have landed there. And who in the world has ever heard of a side that
is cold, as they say it is in this schoolroom, and not have oxygen
and nitrogen? Is it not the moisture of these elements that makes for
the coldness of anything? And would there not be some leakage, as you
Earth men would say, from the hot side to the cold side, or are there
barriers or walls that keep it from passing from the hot side unto the
cold side? It doesn't make sense."
"Here on our own planet Mars your instruments show the polar caps.
These polar caps are far larger than any you have on Earth. Yet these
men of knowledge tell your people that inhabitation here would be
impossible due to the rarity of atmospheric conditions. Yet you know
better now that you have been here. Then another thing they tell you,
that this planet has been inhabited at one time but now it is not, due
to the lack of water. And if it was true that there was a lack of water
on this planet, do you suppose that the intelligence that the Great
Father has given to us would not have guided us from the dry section
to the polar section where water would be available? Even a lower
animal would do that. And yet the way they give the news to the people,
these learned men would make you believe that we had not sufficient
intelligence to move towards the water, where water was, but stayed and
perished when the water evaporated. It doesn't make sense, or at least
doesn't give a human any credit for having any intelligence. Too, the
way you picture the inhabitants of the various planets your imagination
is badly distorted."
"Here is one more. You tell your people that there is no oxygen in
space and in the same breath you tell them that the sun spots are
active and throw flames half a million miles in space. You even have
pictures of the sun with two widely separated craters shooting flames
so far that they finally arched in space. Yet you tell your people
that you can't have a fire in the absence of oxygen. Then what makes
the flames shoot out half a million miles in space and keep burning if
there is no oxygen there?"
"This is what we mean when we say your sciences need revising,
coordinating and intelligently expressed, while at present they
contradict themselves through their own complications."
"As for your astronomers who teach of the heavenly bodies, they need
better, finer instruments to get correct answers to their findings.
For at times there are what we call interference between the Earth
planet and Mars or any other planet, of a gaseous formation which is so
fine that it cannot be detected by any instrument you have at present,
yet will give you distorted readings or distorted knowledge of your
findings, and especially in your distance calculations and your color
definitions, be it through the sight or be it through the spectrum.
There is much to be altered in these findings before the absolute truth
is known by your people on Earth."
Here Dr. Johnston interrupted saying, "but we have done well with what
we have to work."
The acknowledgment came and the Martonian speaker said, "yes, but you
also became egotistical over your findings, which are half truths,
thinking you got it all. To have a complete success the law of
relativity must be the foundation upon which any society or any truth
be founded. And this is where the coordinating comes in of all branches
of endeavor. No findings, it matters not how great, should be exalted
over any other which might be much lesser, for it is one helping the
other, and through a relative understanding a unit is realized. This
is where the men of science on Earth are lacking."
"Again I repeat, you have done very well with what you have, but you
could do much better if you depended a little more on your feelings,
as we do, at least as much as you do on your mechanical devices. In
that way you would be able to detect errors much quicker. It would also
lessen the time on research which now you spend going into years in
computation, looking for error. To be a full fledged scientist one must
acknowledge all phases of manifestations, be they labeled spiritual or
material, so long as they are natural. Therefore natural laws must be
studied and understood before one can become a good scientist, because
natural laws are causes of effects since natural laws are stable. And
this means all the phases that can be realized by men, which includes
all forms of science. For when one form of science operates independent
of another and does not exchange its information with all others, many
errors are made. We have found by working together as one, our findings
are almost absolute, for when any one branch of science discovers
something or comes upon a problem, he consults all other branches
to solve it, while scientists on the Earth, astronomers as they are
named, seldom consult other branches which are considered lower than
theirs. Do not forget that this vastness is one system and takes in all
branches of science."
"For example the sciences that study the variation of light and its
manner of behaviorism is different from the sciences that study light
from the stars through a spectrum. Yet both of these are dealing in
light and should be consulting each other. For light in its variations
does not always have the same behaviorism. It will vary a billion
times in one hour at times, for it penetrates various layers, as you
could call it, of atmospheric density from its source to its effects.
And these densities vary from moment to moment. Also to be taken into
consideration are the dust particles which give different effects by
their anglings from moment to moment to the light that passes through
them. So it is impossible to get definite readings of an absolute
nature unless better mechanical devices capable of detecting the
variations are used. We on Mars have such devices and yet they are
not absolute. We have found through our instruments that the light
under normal circumstances, when examined by the type of instruments
that you have on Earth would show us that there is iron represented
in this light. Yet it may not be iron at all. It can be any other
mineral but iron, but a mass of dust particles angling at the moment,
and sometimes remaining so for long periods of time depending upon
the movement of atmosphere, would reflect the presence of iron, since
each dust particle carries iron in a minute form, as well as all other
minerals. When a magnetic pull is in a certain direction, and it does
vary in its orbit, it will cause the sides of all particles to face
the magnetic attraction, and iron is attracted by magnetism. Therefore
the whole side would reflect the representation of iron while at other
times it would be reflecting something else. It is impossible to get a
correct reading of a planet on its mineral contents unless a different
instrument is used by Earth man than he is now using, since space, it
might be said, is solid with particles, more in some spots than in
others but they are everywhere and they will carry great influence upon
the researcher or the observer. This is why planet Mars, or any other
planet, never had a true reading of its status by the Earth man. To the
present day fifty percent of science on Earth is theory. This accounts
for the sudden changes, that do happen often, of denial of one by the
admission of another. You call this advancement, but it is only an
error of past by a slightly better of present."
"In other words we want to say that if Earth man is to progress to
catch up partially, if not totally, with other planets, he will have to
adopt this system."
"Another instance, your scientists have in their mind that to have a
reflector which reflects the images of the heavenly bodies, as they
call it, the reflector has to be of one piece. Yet we have a reflector
here on Mars that is made of hundreds of pieces, so synchronized that
they reflect as one towards the one central point. Yet the Earthly
scientists would say 'look at the mirrors or reflectors we would have
to make to make up the one of the many. It would take lots of time.'
"In the first place, time is eternal. In the second place, it is much
easier and quicker to make many small ones than one big one, for
you are limited in the size of the big one, unlimited in the many
small ones. This is one example of your thinking scientists in the
Earth planet. They seem to focus their minds in one channel and by
doing so they limit themselves. Yet you have the finest group of men
which Earth is to know at the present time which are scientists and
they are striving for the greater good, too, of all its people. If
unity, happiness, greatness of civilization is ever to come, it will
come through these men. For it is through these types of men that
other sister planets have so far advanced. The only thing needed is a
unification or coordination where division and differences of various
branches will become non-existent, and instead all working towards a
common center in behalf of one another and in turn for the good of its
people."
Now we are given a toast by all the scientists that are gathered here
in this magnificent Temple of Science in our honor. The toast is:
"May their sight, their vision, their hearts and their minds unite as
one on the highway of eternal expectation of an endless expedition,
that by their way all men shall be lifted up to see the light which
shall reveal the wonders unto all men."
This meeting with the scientists has lasted far into the night but
every moment has been filled with interest. Now we are going to our
rooms for a few hours rest before being taken back to the airport.
We had a wonderful rest and it is already midday. We are at the airport
and ready to start our journey in the Martonian ship back to the Moon
where our ship is.
This ship is not the same one that brought us here. It is different in
many ways. We are entering it, the doors have been closed and we are
taking off. We are now circling the capital city of Mars. Looking back
towards the ground we can see the scientists, the head of Mars and many
others still looking up and waving.
Now we are hooking onto the Moon light and are flying at full speed
towards the Moon.
We are not riding this ship in the so-called front, but rather we are
in a compartment in mid-ship, a room by itself, yet we have a good view
to the outside.
There are five scientists of Mars making this trip with us and they too
are in this compartment. They are turning on a screen, different than
any we have ever seen before, for the purpose of letting us see what
invisible dust particles in space actually look like. These are highly
magnified on this screen and we notice that they have a pattern to them
similar to the snowflake type, each one slightly different but all in
constant motion and reflecting light.
Now a spectrum screen is turned on and the scientists tell us that here
we have true color definitions of the many minerals within each one of
these tiny dust particles.
On another screen next to it is shown the magnetic currents of space.
We see on this screen the intensity of the magnetic force as these
dust particles are moved and rolled, much like waves in the ocean. The
scientists tell us that in another three seconds the magnetic pull will
be strong enough, so to speak, to turn this mass of particles over to
such a degree that they will reflect the iron part of them, which is in
a minute form in all dust particles, and this movement is constantly
going on without end throughout all space. Through the vastness of
infinity there is never absolute stillness.
We doubted this and we said so.
"Why do you doubt?" we were asked.
We said the speed of the ship itself would probably create such
activity.
So the ship's pilot was instructed to hover in space, without moving
either way. This he did. We have stood still in space for practically
half an hour while the particles keep moving on, passing the screen,
and the magnetic field on the magnetic screen does show an increase and
a decrease in its influence. It turns the particles as the increase
in its influence is strong enough to do so, and when it is not as
strong, the particles change to some other reflection. There have been
reflections of nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, minute in particle form as
the dust particles are minute themselves. But a mass of them would
reflect a large quantity. And so they have reflected all other minerals
known to science, all contained in each particle of dust.
This is very much like standing within a room and looking through a
window, watching snow fall outside. While all is apparently still the
snowflakes fall straight down but let a current of air enter and their
course changes. Should a whirling breeze start blowing, the flakes roll
in a circling mass but when a strong wind blows, even some of those
which have touched the ground are lifted again and blown around with
those that are still falling.
This is what we are seeing take place among the invisible dust
particles of space with the strength of the magnetic force acting much
as the breeze or wind.
We have seen such a manifestation, as most people have, at one time or
another in our own homes, when after we have given our rooms a thorough
cleaning, dust would be impossible to detect yet a ray of sunshine
coming in through some opening would illumine dust particles flying
by the billions through space within the room. That is how the screen
operates here. And if you watch these dust particles floating in the
light of the sun in your own room, you would see that there is a law
operating there as well, for one minute they seem to turn to one side
and another minute to another side, and if you watch them closely, you
can see the differences in reflections. One would be brighter, another
duller and another would be shadowed, and so on, depending on which way
your particles would be turning in unison and the way the light would
strike them.
This is exactly what the screen is showing us here now except it is
giving us the mineral contents in a color reflection.
And the scientist says here, "unless we had a filter system to filter
out this effect between us and another body we could not get a correct
reading of the other body's minerals, since space is just filled
with these particles of dust, some in cloud formations others just
travelling around through space.
"This is the major obstacle to be overcome by scientists of astronomy
on Earth, for there is much now being said in reference to many bodies
and the various other formations in space that is less than half true
because of this type of interference that is being attracted by the
various instruments that Earth men have. And since the magnifying
system is largely used, it also magnifies the interference."
We asked them how this could be eliminated?
"Through instruments that serve more than one purpose," was the reply.
And he continued, "when Earth man grows to the true purpose of his
service, this will then be given unto him, to know the truth."
Dr. Johnston said this would take much time, probably, why could we not
be given this by the Martonians now since they already have it?
He answered, "you must earn it as we have, and when you do alter your
ways it will be given unto you, but we do want you to know that you are
not getting the true understanding of the bodies that you daily observe
through your instruments. By including all branches of science in any
one branch, you can learn all these things quickly."
One thing we have learned is that these screens operate by the power
known to us as atomic, plus something else that we have not been told.
The mysterious part of all of this, in our total adventure from the
Earth to Venus we have found that space is dark and the only light that
can be seen is the dust that catches the days and reflects them as
light for a split second. One moment they are light, the next moment
they are dark. When the flat side of a particle is towards either
reflected light or the direct light of the sun, it reflects light, but
when the edge is towards either one, no light is reflected. You can
imagine just how this really operates.
"Yet there are dust clouds which are pretty dense that reflect light
quite steadily, you might say, due to their closer concentration, but
if you watch it closely, especially with the aid of a good instrument,
there will be times that you will see this reflection very bright while
at other times quite dull," continued our friend. "The reason for this
is that the particles keep moving, rolling, so to speak, sometimes
a larger mass of them comes into a position to catch the light and
reflect it, while at other times a lesser amount of them reflects it.
The Milky Way is composed largely of such."
"Now again let us emphasize, each particle of dust either independent
or composing a cloud, is composed of all minerals known to man on Earth
and some minerals not known to him, in a very minute form. And they
do reflect their own mineral contents, especially when they are quite
well condensed in a massive formation, as we have said before. Being
in space between two bodies, if these were to be ignored, they would
cause much misunderstanding when it came to analyzing the contents of a
planet, even so far as to it being inhabited."
"Right here we should try to prove something else as we are travelling
towards the Moon. Now we will focus a screen towards the Earth. This
is being done without the filtering system. Here is your Earth. It
contains all minerals. We will read for you the various minerals which
are showing here on the screen."
This they did.
"Yet here are five minerals showing that are not found on your Earth.
Now we are going to put the filter system in to filter out the dust
particles and get a pure reading of the Earth. Here is your exact
number of minerals."
And that was true, less the five minerals that showed before. That
reading was correct as far as Dr. Johnston was concerned.
"We shall show you something more. By a special device operated in
conjunction with this screen we can detect and differentiate between
all form-life, be it mineral, vegetable, animal, fowl, or human and
even tell its degree of development."
"This is the way we measure intelligence of the inhabitants of the
Earth or any of the planets. We will try to pick a non-intelligent spot
on your Earth, as you would call it, without humans. Notice the color
reflection upon the screen. See, this section is made up of all the
various colors as you can see them in their bands, yet they are all
very dull."
"Now we will switch from this to a group of scientists in one of your
very large laboratories. You notice the colors are still there but they
are very distinct and rich."
"This is the way we have, besides other delicate instruments, of
finding out how far the inhabitants of any planet are advanced, as well
as the type of other forms of life which may be on that planet. For
everything, regardless how minute, has its own rate of life activity
and throws off its own radiations or vibrations which include color.
They differ in quantity and quality depending upon the purpose of the
form and its development."
We will soon be landing on the Moon so our little lesson in the field
of science is over and we have thanked the scientists for these
marvelous revelations they have given us. While we have not understood
everything as we should have, we nevertheless follow its relationship
to one another and the logic upon which it is founded, if no more.
We must say here and now that these boys really have something on
the ball, as we would say on Earth. It makes us feel quite small to
think that we have given them so little credit before this adventure,
thinking they knew nothing, if there even were any human beings on
these other planets and pictured them in ugly forms when they excel
anything and everything that we know anything about on Earth.
We are now coming into view of the Moon and can almost see where our
ship is. We are circling, ready to come down. The pilot has landed his
ship alongside of ours and our Moonalite friends who were left in camp
during our absence are running up to greet us. As we leave this ship to
go to ours the natives are eager to show us what the other Martonian
ship brought to them, various kinds of food and supplies.
Our host who has returned with us to the Moon is telling us that the
head of Mars has decided to establish an airport here, that whenever
and whoever comes to the Moon from the Earth again will find better
facilities in every way to greet them than we had when we landed
here, but it will always remain under the flag signifying our first
experience of landing on this spot.
The flag which we brought has been replaced with a new flag and placed
higher on the mountain. This new flag is the same as ours was except
the Martonian insignia of a heart and a handshake across the heart,
the same as the pilots have on their caps, is in it too. It is made of
material that will not deteriorate as easily or quickly as our material
would have done, and when it does deteriorate they will replace it.
We ask our host how long they are going to stay on this spot we are on
right now?
He replies, "we will stay here about twenty-four hours before returning
to Mars. During some of this time we all, including all the natives of
both tribes, are going to enjoy a big feast. We have brought all the
provisions for the feast with us in the ship."
The Moonalites who were here when we landed are unloading the ship and
getting things ready for the feast. It is about midafternoon and we are
told that the tribespeople of both groups have been notified in their
villages that we will be here most any time.
While this is going on Johnny is trying to contact the Earth. He has
succeeded and is now talking to a radar station in the northern part of
California, telling them that we have just returned from Venus and Mars
to the Moon on a Martonian ship. He tells them that all of us including
the settlements of natives close by here are about to have a big feast
given by the Martonians who brought us here.
From the Earth they are asking him what we have seen on both Venus and
Mars.
He begins to tell them when they interrupt, asking him to wait and
call them back in twenty minutes. During that time they would alert
different stations so that all the people could listen in on what we
have to say, as they did before.
We are now on the beam to Earth. Johnny is telling them just the
highlights, no more, for it would take too long to tell in detail what
we have seen on Venus and Mars and throughout the whole journey.
They are all rejoicing on Earth for the success of this adventure and
tell us that they are awaiting our return, the quicker, the better.
Johnny tells them that probably the next day we will be taking off on
our trip back to Earth.
They ask if we have enough fuel to return safely?
He assures them that we have plenty for the Martonians have furnished
us with a full supply of fuel for our ship.
We asked our host who had accompanied us on our entire trip, if he
would care to say a few words to the Earth people.
He was glad to.
So Johnny told the people on Earth that he is about to introduce the
leading scientist of Mars who came from Mars with us and has been with
us on the whole journey.
He spoke first in his native tongue, then he spoke the English tongue
that his listeners might understand his words. This is what he is
saying:
"We have been honored here on the Moon, on Mars, on Venus, in fact
through the whole solar system by the presence of your Earth brethren
who have so successfully made this journey to the nearest interstellar
space body, known to you as the Moon. And more than that, that you
have sent ablebodied men on such a journey. By ablebody, we mean that
their mentalities were capable of perceiving our way of life and
realizing the many advances which they found here on the Moon, Mars,
my planet, and Venus. And especially the manner in which they have
conducted themselves in relationship to the various groups of people
they have met on this journey. They will never be erased from the
records of Infinity, for as brothers we are one wherever we may be.
For the vastness of our Divine Father is inconceivable by His children
everywhere. May the day come when all of you Earth men will do as these
who are about to return back to you. For if all men of Earth were as
these are at present, in the state of mind which has somewhat been
changed to what it was when they left the Earth for this journey, your
struggles and heartaches which you have been enduring through your
mistakes in the planet Earth would cease to be, replaced with joys,
happiness in a brotherly state and doing the will of Him, the Father
who has placed you in one of His Mansions, the planet Earth. Beyond
all, let it now be firmly known that we will look forward to the day
when such brethren as these from the Earth will come again. As your
desire of Earth brothers is great for the return of these, so is ours
for their safe return unto you. So we shall watch over them steadily
until they have returned safely."
"Again I may say I have been honored by having this privilege to speak
unto the brothers of my present brothers which are now before me, while
the others I speak unto through space of our Eternal Father."
And with this the feeling of the people of the Earth reached to an
almost paralyzed state for they have never dreamed that anything like
this could happen in their day. But it did, where the head scientist of
Mars spoke to all the people of Earth. They felt as though they were
paralyzed for it was like a voice from Heaven.
The contact with the Earth has been cut. The tribespeople from both
villages have arrived and the feast is on. It is very much the same
kind that we had when we first landed on Mars.
Twenty hours have elapsed since we returned to the Moon and now after
several hours of good rest we are starting the motors on our ship,
giving it the once over, seeing that everything is in shape.
The two chieftains and all their people as well as the Martonians are
gathered about the ship.
Everything is in order, the motors are warmed up and we are making a
radar contact with the Earth telling them we are about ready to take
off on our way home. The Martonians, the two chieftains, and all the
people gathered here bid us farewell. These people are our friends and
we are going to miss them with their joy and their way of living.
At last we are moving for the air. As we gain altitude and look down
towards our friends on the ground we see that the Martonian ship
is rising too. It is faster than we are. We are circling over this
territory and straightening out to be headed for the Earth. The
Martonian ship is alongside of us. At three thousand feet up the
Martonian ship is still with us travelling towards the Earth. We are
ten thousand miles from the Moon towards the Earth. The Martonian ship
has escorted us thus far but it is now turning around and going back.
We are encountering some storm but not as bad as it was when we came
in. We are now thirty thousand miles out. Things are no different than
they were when coming in. We are fifty thousand miles out, now seventy
thousand miles, just ten thousand miles away from the gap.
At seventy-two thousand miles we are encountering trouble, a very heavy
meteoric shower. Our ship is out of control, at least we think it is
for it seems to be zig-zagging between these meteors. There is one
awfully big one headed towards us, if it hits us we are done for. We
just missed it by going up over it and Bob said he had nothing to do
with throwing the ship up and nothing to do with the zig-zagging. We
can't figure it out and yet the ship is not in danger, as we can detect
it.
We are now entering the gap. It may save us. We got through that shower
all right, but how, we don't know. Something strange has taken place
which we can't figure out.
After twenty thousand miles of the gap, we are leaving it. Through this
neutral zone we have encountered pretty much the same conditions as we
did coming to the Moon.
Now we are one hundred ten thousand miles away from the Moon and
encountering more meteors. Our ship is missing them or they are missing
us but there are more meteors now than we had seen on the way to the
Moon. Also our ship is beginning to feel the gravitational pull towards
the Earth. Our instruments are functioning perfectly. Here is a shower
of big meteors coming right for us. If they strike us we are done for.
Bob doesn't know what to do, but the ship is taking a dip, a four
thousand foot dip and just passed beneath the meteors. The ship is now
rising to where we were. That was really a close call that time. We
are travelling smoothly now, very few meteors and they are at a great
distance.
We are one hundred eighty thousand miles out from the Moon. Our
contact with the Earth's radar has been broken each time we zig-zagged
past, over or under the meteors, so the Earth lost track of us. Right
now we are unable to contact them again. They surely realize we are
having trouble.
Forty thousand miles above the Earth we are running into another heavy
meteoric shower. The heat right in this spot is terrific. We did
not experience this on the way going to the Moon. Our ship is being
zig-zagged. It could easily be said it is out of control, yet the
instruments are all functioning perfectly.
Now throughout our ship we hear a voice from a Martonian ship saying
just to keep right on going, not to worry about our strange course and
explaining that we are being protected by the little gadget they have
placed in the ship. So now we know that our ship is being controlled by
the Martonians through these perilous spots.
At twenty-eight thousand miles from Earth we have again established
contact with the Earth through radar. We are beginning to feel the
Earth's gravitational pull terrifically. The ship seems to want to
plunge now, being pulled. The radar tells us that all the radio
stations throughout the Earth are beamed to it and getting the
information from them as they get it from us. They also tell us there
are tens of thousands of people gathered at the base in the southern
part of the state to see us come in.
Within ten thousand miles of the Earth we hit a very heavy cold wave
and then we hit a hot one again, but not as hot as the previous one.
We are within three thousand miles of the Earth. Here is another cold
wave and quite a number of meteors too, but they do not bother us this
time. Our ship zig-zagged only once. The Earth's radio stations are
coming in on our receiver quite definitely at this point.
At fifty miles from Earth the stations are coming stronger, more
distinct.
We are fifteen thousand feet above our landing field in California from
where we took off. Now we have lowered to one thousand feet and we see
people like flies below us. We are coming in for a landing.
We have landed.
Everybody is trying to crowd towards the ship but are being kept away
by soldiers. We are staying in the ship for a few minutes to get
ourselves organized. While we are still here, before leaving the ship
we want to say that whatever the fuel was that the Martonians supplied
us with, it was more powerful than that which we had used when going to
the Moon.
We have opened the door and are leaving the ship. A guard has been
thrown around the ship to protect it until we return for we want to
inspect it thoroughly as soon as we can.
Everyone is gathering around us trying to shake our hands and some of
them are tearing our clothes off of us for souvenirs. We were almost
blinded with the flash light bulbs from the different pictures they
have taken. They are asking us to give a speech, to say something.
All we can say is that we are thankful for having landed safely.
A few government experts are accompanying us as we return to inspect
our ship before leaving the field. A thorough inspection proves it to
be in a first class condition and we also find that we have used less
than half the amount of fuel on our return trip than we had used on our
way to the Moon, proving that this Martonian fuel had the right punch
in it. We have found, too, the spot where we believe was the strange
instrument that the Martonians attached to our ship and by which they
guided us through the perilous experiences which we have had on the
way coming back to Earth. It must have been a repulsor or something of
that kind which caused the ship to act as it did when coming in contact
with the meteors. Because of the construction of our ship, through
this instrument we were able to dodge the meteors but not able to
divert their course as the ships of other planets are able to do. But
whatever this instrument was, there is not a sign of it now. It really
did disintegrate as they said it would. However, if it had not been for
the instrument we would never have reached the Earth as we did. We had
zig-zagged and the dips downward and up were done with great ease. We
never knew that our ship could perform like that. Regardless what it
was, we are thankful for it, for it brought us through safely.
Now the inspection is completed. The heavy guard is remaining around
the ship to keep everybody away from it and we are being taken in two
cars to the Administration Building while the people are cheering
at the top of their voices. At the Administration Building we are
giving details of our trip for government records, as well as what
improvements could be made on the ship, if any. We will not be able to
make a complete report at this time since it will take days for us to
give all of this knowledge but it will be given.
Our instruments have been checked by government experts and everything
checked out perfectly.
The government has requested us to give a world-wide broadcast in the
next few days and tell the world what we have actually seen and done.
This will be done.
