Journalist: No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth cent ury that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microsc ope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even c onsidered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of s pace, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.
At midnight on the twelfth of August, a huge mass of luminous gas erupted from M ars and sped towards Earth. Across two hundred million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us were the first of the missiles that were to bring so much ca lamity to Earth. As I watched, there was another jet of gas. It was another miss ile starting on its way.
And thats how it was for the next ten nights. A flare, spurting out from Mars bright green, drawing a green mist behind it a beautiful, but somehow disturb ing sight. Ogilvy the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. He was convin ced that there could be no living thing on that remote forbidding planet.
The chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one he said
The chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one but still they come!
Journalist: Then came the night the first missile approached Earth. It was thoug ht to be an ordinary falling star, but next day there was huge crater in the mid dle of the Common, and Ogilvy came to examine what lay there: a cylinder, thirty yards across, glowing hot . And with faint sounds of movement coming from withi n.
Suddenly the top began moving, rotating, unscrewing, and Ogilvy feared there was a man inside, trying to escape. He rushed to the cylinder, but the intense heat stopped him before he could burn himself on the metal.
The chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one but still they come!
The chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one he said
The chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one but still they come!
Yes, the chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one but still they come!
It seems totally incredible to me now that everyone spent that evening as though it were just like any other. From the railway station came the sound of shuntin g trains, ringing and rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance.
It all seemed to safe and tranquil.
