The Future








i

Criswell
Greetings, My Friend. 
We are all interested in The Future, 
for that is where 
you and I are going 
to spend the rest of our lives
And remember my friend, 
future events, such as these, will affect you
in The Future —
 
You are interested in The Unknown, 
The Mysterious,
 The Unexplainable —
 That, is why you are here. 
And now, for the first time, 
we are bringing to you the full story 
of What Happened on that fateful day. 
We are bringing you all The Evidence, 
based only on the secret testimony 
of the miserable souls 
who survived this 
terrifying ordeal. 

The incidents, 
the places. 
My friend, we cannot keep this 
a secret any longer. 
Let us punish 
The Guilty. 
Let us reward 
The Innocent. 

My friend, can your heart stand 
the shocking facts 
about graverobbers from Outer Space…?




Criswell : Perhaps, on your way Home, 
someone will pass you in The Dark, 
and you will never know it... 
for they will be 
from Outer Space. 


Criswell : [narrating]  
At the funeral of the old man, 
unknown to his mourners, 
his DEAD WIFE was watching! 


Criswell
[narrating]  
... The grief from his wife's death became greater and greater agony. 
The Home they had so long shared became a tomb, a sweet memory of her joyous living. 
The sky to which he had once looked was now only a covering for her dead body. 
The ever-beautiful flowers she had planted with her own hands 
became nothing more 
than the lost roses of her cheeks. 
Confused by his great loss, 
the old man left that home... 
never to return again —

[brakes screech and the old man screams]  


Criswell
My Friend, you have seen this incident, 
based on sworn testimony. 
Can you prove that it didn't happen..? 


Criswell : [narrating]  
... All of us on this Earth know that there is a time to live, 
and that there is a time to die. 
Yet Death is always a shock to those left behind. 
It is even more of a shock when 
Death, the Proud Brother, 
comes suddenly without warning.
Just at sundown, a small group gathered in silent prayer, 
around the newly-opened grave of the beloved wife of an elderly man. 
Sundown of the day; 
yet also the sundown of the old man's heart, 
for the shadows of grief clouded his very reason... 
The funeral over, the saddened group left the graveside. It was when the gravediggers started their task that strange things began to take place.

My Friend, You have seen this incident based on sworn Testimony.
Can you prove that it didn't happen? 
Perhaps on your way home someone will pass you in the dark, and you will never know it, for they will be from outer space. 
Many scientists believe that another world 
is watching us at this moment. 
We once laughed at the horseless carriage, 
the aeroplane, the telephone, 
the electric light, vitamins, 
radio, and even television. 
And now some of us laugh at outer space. 
God Help us in The Future.

There comes a time in each man's life, 
when he can't even believe his own eyes. 
Saucers seen over Hollywood! 
Flying saucers seen over Washington, DC!

The Army convoy moved into the field. 
Rockets were quickly set up. 
Col. Tom Edwards in charge of Saucer Field Activities, was to make the greatest decision of his career. 
He made that decision. 
Col. Edwards gave the signal to - Fire.
