25. Orbit

Apparently that was all they were going to tell me about the unpleasant subject, for the young couple got out of the car, went to their own car and indicated we should follow.

We drove out Route 115 toward Mt. Effort. When we approached the Blue Mountain area, we turned off onto a dirt road and I recognized a familiar spot. I remembered that a transmitting instrument had been placed nearby some time ago. My friend got out of my car to inspect the instrument and I followed. I knew the instrument was tuned in to at least 50 individuals, three of whom lived in Allentown, Pa. Their brains were acting as transmitting units for the instrument, although they were unaware of the fact and in no way affected in their health or free will.

That business effected, we got back into the car and followed the lead car as it again pulled out onto the road. We drove for about three miles, turned off on another dirt road and traveled for three more. We approached a clearing where I made out two craft with a small crowd of people standing around them. At the entrance to the field stood a young man waving an instrument which emitted purple light and which I suspected registered our brain impulses.

We left the cars and approached the man waving us in.

“Hello, you’re late. Ten minutes later the tower would have been dismantled and all of us gone.”

We apologized. As we walked toward the smaller craft we noticed 10 or 15 men who began to dismantle a 10-ft. structure which was surmounted by revolving red lights. By the time we reached the craft, the structure had been completely dismantled into sections and was being loaded aboard the larger ship. I marveled at the rapidity with which they had accomplished the work.

We mounted the ramp, entered the craft, sat down at a large round translucent table. I looked out and saw the ramp being retracted as the iris-like doorway closed. Then we heard a high-pitched humming sound as the craft prepared to take off.

I still wasn’t sure where we were going. The young lady, reading my thoughts, informed me, “I’m not absolutely sure, but I feel certain we’re going to orbit the moon once or twice.”

The lights dimmed as the man at the controls pushed some buttons and the view screen lighted with a view of the moon’s surface, which I guessed was about 25 miles away.

“Are we there already?” I asked, remembering our quick trip into space when we had observed Venus.

The young lady laughed. “Howard, we haven’t even left the ground yet! We can tune in and observe any planet in closeup with our instruments.”

I watched the screen as it momentarily went dark, then tuned in a closeup of what I presumed was a crater. As the fuzzy image was brought into sharp focus, I could see blues and greens showing in the darkness of the crater.

“How is it that our astronomers can’t see
