He…

At first the projectiles are mistaken for shooting stars or meteors. Then Ogilvy, the first to discover one of the cylinders that has landed, realizes that it is hollow; as it cools, he can hear something inside unscrewing the cylinder’s top. Ogilvy informs a local journalist, Henderson, and soon a crowd, including the…

Additionally, he came up with new theories of the universal order because of a search on the moon, which he said that the Earth was floating in space because of a force of air acting upward.
