The ritual broadcasting system presents The Mysterious Travel. Ritten produced and directed by Robert A. Arthur and David Coben and starring three of Radio's foremost actors. Brett Morrison, Joyce Gordon and Leon Jenny. M. Fire in the sky.
This is The Mysterious Traveler. Inviting you to join me on another journey of a realm of the strange, gender terrifying. Joy the trip, and it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.
So settle back, get a good grip on your nerves, and be comfortable if you can. As we join two young people who find themselves in the strangest situation human beings ever encountered, it's the story I call, fire in the sky.
It's late evening, and a convertible with the top down is driving along a lonely road in the Shenandoah Valley. The driver is young in his 20s. So is the girl beside him. Their mystery misses Nicholas Ramsey of New York City, married less than 24 hours, and honeymoon.
Look Ramsey is driving slowly. For both he and Sally are watching the great golden disk, which is rising in the sky, about the hills to the west. Not the moon, but the new comet, which the whole world is talking about with excited interest, and some apprehension.
Nick, it's so bright. It's grown much brighter since last night. Yes, I know. Seems to be about half as big as the moon now. You can almost see it, girl. It looks as if it were coming right at us.
It's just an illusion. It will pass about 15 million miles away, the radio set. 15 million? Sounds like a lot. But I wish it were more. All they said it wouldn't do much damage, even if the hitters head on.
