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."
