An unexpected discovery

By Arya Agarwal

One day, I was relaxing on my balcony in the evening when I saw a bright flash of light coming from the sky. It seemed as if the sun had risen again, illuminating the entire sky. It turned out to be a meteorite, heading to impact the earth not far from my location. As soon as it hit the earth, I quickly took out my car and headed towards the impact site. Interestingly, I aspired to become a meteorologist in the future.

Upon reaching the crater, the scene was smoky, making it difficult to see much around the meteor. As the smoke cleared, an astonishing sight unfolded before me – a large rock with a green glow. Eager to document the rare find, I took numerous pictures of the rock. Upon closer examination, I noticed a faint clicking noise emanating from its core.

When the meteorology department arrived at the crater, I informed them about the peculiar clicking sound. They acknowledged my discovery and conducted various tests on it. However, they couldn’t determine its source conclusively. The only consistent observation was that, regardless of the testing angle, the sound seemed to originate from behind the rock, opposite from where the test was being conducted.

Several weeks later, the research was still ongoing to identify the sound’s origin when another meteorite struck the earth at the exact same spot. It was already curious that within the same month, two unpredicted comets of the exact same size and diameter hit the earth at the same impact crater. Strangely, they both produced the same exact sound, and the test results were consistent. Eventually, an idea emerged to use Morse Code to decipher the meaning of the sound.

Upon decoding, it was revealed that the sound was saying “WE COME IN PEACE!” This revelation marked the most astonishing discovery in the history of meteorology. I was awarded for the discovery, and preparations were made to launch a crewed mission to track the meteors’ trajectory and determine their origin. It was poised to be the biggest rocket in the history of the human race, even surpassing the size of the Saturn V.
