Actually an episode from the Hall of Fantasy, but most likely also appeared in 2000 Plus.
A tale that recounts science experiments, and studies with radio waves. Carl fires up his radio set, and shows his colleague the messages from a man from the far reaches of space. What does the man call his world… his sun…? He has mastered our language well, and shares how well they have mastered atomic power and space travel.
What is this exploratory expedition the man talks about, and why is this to be his last transmissions? Will the man and his people be on a teaching mission, or a conquering one? Is there a connection between strange disappearances and news headlines, and the man from space?
When the man from the second earth shows up at Carl’s lab, he shrouds himself in the darkness of the basement. Has the friendly mission gone all wrong? The man warns Carl to stay back, and not approach him. For all their advancements, the space man seems awfully fascinated by fire. Might the basic, and age old element of this earth be the downfall of a hostile takeover?
