The stories

“The Flying Saucer Invasion”

The Secretary of Defense debunks numerous people across America who have claimed to have seen a flying saucer, not realizing that a wave of flying saucers are targeting Earth at that very moment.

“The Meteor Monster”

One evening a farm couple are disturbed when a meteor suddenly plunges to Earth on their property. When Bill finds the meteor, a strange creature emerges from it and hypnotizes the man, and forces him to take it to his home, where it hypnotizes the wife as well. In fact, everyone who comes into contact with the alien creature falls under its spell....that is except one, who is blind, and whom the being considers dangerous to him.....with good reason!

“The Micro-Race!”

A recluse scientist creates a miniature race and watches as they evolve. When they reach the point of developing powerful weapons for war, they destroy themselves by blowing up their World.

“---The Man Who Raced Time”

Bruce and Julius are vying for the honor of becoming the new Chairman of the Physics Department, and Bruce wins out. But Julius is very bitter and storms back to his lab, musing that any scientist who has created an invention like the Spherical Accelerator should have had the job. Julius uses the machine on himself, with success. But when he discovers that Bruce and Christine are to be wed that very afternoon, he plots a "special" revenge upon the two, but it backfires with tragic results.
