On the evening of January 17, 1971, some six years after Carvel's
disappearance from Moon Base, the Pacific Radar Watch detected an
approaching missile. It was tracked for routine interception, and one
Ground to Air Missile was actually launched at it before its erratic course
identified the unknown rocket as a space-craft in distress. Fortunately, the
GTA Missile was caught and neutralized before interception occurred, and
the approaching space-craft was allowed to crash in the middle of
California's Central Valley near what was then the city of Fresno.
Jan Carvel's ship crashed and burned when he came back....
Search crews found the wreckage and it was immediately established as the
experimental rocket-bomber stolen six years before by Jan Carvel. It was
badly smashed by the crash, and in addition seemed to have sustained a
considerable amount of battle damage.
A charred body was removed from the rocket and identified as Jan Carvel.
The craft's papers, however, were in an excellent state of preservation, it
being indicated that Carvel sacrificed his life to protect them. These papers,
consisting of some photographs, some crudely drawn planetary maps, and a
diary, were contained in a steel box addressed to the Secretary of Defense.
They were rushed to this official without delay, fortunately he was at the
time in New Washington, somewhere under the Great Lakes.

documents.
"If you desire, hostages may be exchanged to assure the safety of your
personnel...."
From the statement of Rep. L. Louis Frank, House Minority Leader, after
meeting with Administration officials.
"... unquestionably, the people must be told!"
The terrible years began with the return of Carvel's ship with its dread
discovery; and people dreamed nightly of death from the skies....
From the message found written in pencil on a shipping tag in the Martian
Cairn built by Jan Carvel.
"Welcome, my brothers!"
