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.
