The Antarctic Discovery (Novelette)
lower lip hard. “The
detection sites were mainly created and functioned to discover and
track any high speed objects for military detection systems and
unidentified flying objects of any kind, and from all the
accumulated sources known only Russian intelligence agencies
investigated it further because of its tremendous velocity and the
fact that the location of its descent was accurately traced into
this place and region of the Antarctic!”
    “ My god!” Weaver gasped, realizing the
mistake he had made and what the outcome of what was occurring
could be!
    “ Yes! The location was traced to this
top secret American military ice station base, where they
investigated!”
    “ It must have been incredible!” Weaver
answered firmly. “The impact must have been tremendous! Did that
telescope here with its new technology have anything to do with
it?”
    “ The scientists here, and in the
underground telescope chamber, did not even know of its arrival! If
it had been far slower they might have recorded it as an asteroid
of immense proportions! It was only recorded as an immense
explosion or earthquake of unknown origins, which had lasted
seconds, and which had occurred during the night!”
    Weaver was amazed that it actually landed
nearby, and he believed it had to be the telescope that had been
responsible, and he had detected that they had been up to something
with it when he had discovered it in the secret chamber below.
    “ The magnitude recorded by their
equipment had shown them the tremendous power it had!”
    “ Tremendous power!” Weaver panted, and
considered what weight it could have and at what distance away it
was.
    “ Russian scientists used examinations
of satellite images to examine and trace the exact location where
it had landed, and where it had entered the ice!”
    “ Like a crazy shooting star exploding
out of the polar night sky!” Weaver continued. “At a velocity and
force unheard of!”
    “ After a great deal of observations,
research, and discussions by the leading scientists they agreed
that the thing that they had found had to have artificial origins
mainly by its appearance and its tremendous power! It also has to
have vast technology, which may give its origins! They had to
investigate it as far as they could! Even with this highly
confidential American base being here!”
    Weaver could not get what it could be or the
outcome of such a scenario, and thanked the scientist for warning
him of it!
    “ Space may be full of them?” the
scientist continued, giving his opinion. “We have to investigate!
The future of this world could be at stake?”
    “ So there could be more searching for
where it came from? Do you think it was damaged
landing?”
    “ We have to get anything that we can on
it! We have to get as much details of it and its origins no matter
what!”
    “ The technology could very well make it
worthwhile!” Weaver sighed, thinking of how much it could be
worth.
    “ Have they been able to make contact
with it?” Weaver asked.
    “ As far as I know they have
not!”
    “ Have they entered it yet?”
    “ As far as I know they have not! What
it is made of is either indestructible or virtually indestructible!
They have been trying everything that they have to get into to
it!”
    “ Incredible!” He replied. “I never
thought I would live to see one! Never mind confront one! What
information have you on it?”
    “ There is little so far! It has a vague
flying saucer shape and is about quarter of a mile across all
around it, and about hundred and something feet high! They have
uncovered most of it, except a region still under the ice! They
have used everything available to check for places to enter
it!”
    “ Is there positive proof that nothing
emerged from it before they arrived?”
    “ No! But there have been no signs of it
anywhere, and no encounters have been reported worldwide from
it!
    “ Has there been anything on getting
where it originated from?”
    “ They have
