1947

It would have been hard to believe that in the mid 20th century, there were ancient intelligences documenting and surveying the Cosmos. Within human cultures throughout antiquity, there had been speculations of such a thought, however, there was no true perception of the vastness of space and that there may be technologically advanced beings out there, studying the Universe with keen and curious minds. People would be quick to dismiss this idea as nonsense, impossible, and even comical. Yet, in 1947, there was such an intelligence documenting Earth.

The technology in these machines was so advanced that, in mere seconds, they could move from one side of a galaxy to the other. And one of these was in our solar system.

On a warm summer night, in mid 1947, an anomalous solar flare sent a huge burst of electromagnetic energy out into our solar system setting off an unexpected chain of events.

Stunned and fearing for the safety of his family, Bill, the husband, called the local sheriff. Sheriff Wilcox answered the call and went with his deputy to investigate the scene.

Unbeknown to the sheriff, the anomaly had been tracked by the military prior to the explosion and they had arrived at the crash site first—his own investigation was halted before it even began.

What the military found at this crash site that faithful night shattered their sense of reality and challenged the notions of their very existence. We were not alone in the Universe…
