Despite the urgent pleas from his friends to come back, Walton stepped closer, mesmerized by the object. As he approached, the spacecraft began to move, rocking as if in a slow spin. Terrified by its increasing sound, he sought shelter behind a log, but it was too late. A sudden, numbing shock surged through him, knocking him unconscious.

Initially thinking he was in a hospital, his vision cleared to reveal something far more bizarre. He was surrounded by beings unlike any he had ever seen: short, gray entities with disproportionately large heads and bulging eyes.
