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.
