[00:00.0] | No one would have believed, |
[00:01.93] | in the last years of the nineteenth century, |
[00:04.53] | that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. |
[00:09.27] | No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinised as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. |
[00:18.0] | Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. |
[00:22.18] | And yet, across the gulf of space, |
[00:25.53] | minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, |
[00:32.24] | and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us... |
[04:52.29] | At midnight, on the 12th of August, |
[04:54.30] | a huge mass of luminous green gas erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth. |
[04:59.25] | Across two hundred million miles of void, |
[05:02.24] | invisibly hurtling towards us, came the first of the missiles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth. |
[05:08.93] | As I watched, there was another jet of gas. |
[05:11.83] | It was another missile, starting on its way... |
[05:46.35] | And that's how it was for the next ten nights. |
[05:49.73] | A flare, spurting out from Mars. |
[05:52.15] | Bright green, drawing a green mist behind it; a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight. |
[05:59.71] | Ogilvy, the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. |
[06:03.93] | He was convinced there could be no living thing on that remote, forbidding planet... |
[06:11.62] | The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said |
[06:20.94] | The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one... |
[06:27.42] | But still, they come! |
[06:31.58] | Then came the night the first missile approached Earth. |
[06:34.13] | It was thought to be an ordinary falling star, |
[06:36.75] | but the next day there was a huge crater in the middle of the Common, |
[06:39.95] | and Ogilvy came to examine what lay there. |
[06:42.84] | A cylinder, thirty yards across, glowing hot, and with faint sounds of movement coming from within. |
[06:50.82] | Suddenly the top began moving, rotating, unscrewing, and Ogilvy feared there was a man inside trying to escape. |
[06:59.62] | He rushed to the cylinder but the intense heat stopped him before he could burn himself on the metal... |
[07:05.40] | The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said |
[07:14.59] | The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one... |
[07:20.99] | But still, they come! |
[07:25.64] | Yes, the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said |
[07:35.54] | The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one... |
[07:42.1] | But still, they come! |
[08:33.65] | It seems totally incredible to me now that everyone spent that evening as though it were just like any other. |
[08:47.53] | From the railway station came the sound of shunting trains, ringing and rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance. |
[09:01.39] | It all seemed so safe and tranquil... |
