It Came from Outer Space

"This is Sand Rock, Arizona, of a late evening in early spring. It's a nice town, knowing its past and sure of its future, as it makes ready for the night, and the predictable morning. The desert blankets the earth, cooling, resting for the fight with tomorrow's sun. And in my house near the town, we're also sure of the future. So very sure."

"We are right, and we're not crazy. And if we've been seeing things, it's because we did see them."

"Did you know, Putnam, more people are murdered at ninety-two degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once - lower temperatures, people are easy-going. Over ninety two, it's too hot to move. But just ninety-two, people get irritable."

"We have a long way to go. By nightfall, we will have left your earth. You will not see us until it is time."

"You would be horrified at the sight of us. Had you fallen on our world, it might have been different. We understand more."

"From Ray Bradbury's great science fiction story!"

"NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE!"

"Amazing sights the human eye has never before seen!"
