No one would have believed, in the first years of the twenty-first century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.

Of course, it all appears to be ballhooks, as meteor-ologists and geologists are beginning to say it was probably a ground-level eruption.

Which opens up the intriguing possibility of it presaging an invasion of the Mole Men.
