Outer Space #19

In 1958, as flying saucer sightings continue to puzzle the world, this story traces a century of mysterious encounters—from strange lights crossing the moon in 1870 to the bizarre incident near Sutton, West Virginia in 1952, when Mrs. Kathleen May and a group accompanying her encountered a towering, glowing creature on a hillside. Combining historical accounts with eyewitness testimony from respected observers like Lt. Frank H. Schofield, the story builds a compelling case that Earth may have been under observation by visitors from other worlds for far longer than anyone realized.

Ship Number 40 embarks on its maiden voyage with an ambitious mission: to capture an asteroid and potentially land on one. When Professor Dickson and Mr. Kane's crew spots an unusually shaped reddish asteroid in the belt, they snag it with their magnetic grapplers—only to discover during re-entry that their prize is far more alive than anyone bargained for. As the asteroid begins to move like a living creature, the crew realizes they've captured something that defies explanation.

A diplomatic courier carrying classified intelligence becomes an easy target when he travels unguarded through the city—but his would-be attackers discover too late that their prize is far from what it seems. In this tale of deception and misdirection, a clever trap turns the tables on those who thought they had him cornered.

In a perfect utopian world ten billion years before our time, the planet Primus sustained an advanced civilization called the Primals, whose vast collective mental power fueled their entire society—until a brilliant but dissatisfied citizen named Accra began questioning the very happiness that was supposed to define their existence. Granted time away to contemplate his dangerous thoughts, Accra secretly develops a plan to seize absolute control using the same mind-power that built their world, forcing the ruling committee to confront a threat unlike anything their peaceful society has ever known.
