The author describes what no one could have predicted that he will tell in this story. No one believed that Earth was being watched by intellectual beings, more specifically intellectual beings from Mars. There has even been a debate for sometime as to whether life could be supported in an atmosphere such that Mars had. Mars receives less that half the amount of light and heat from the sun than Earth does. Its gravitational pull is also much less than Earth's, but some scientists have overlooked the fact that Mars does have air, although it consists of different percentages of gas and water than Earth.

The author surmises that life on Mars began far before life on Earth. Mar's atmosphere started to cool, as the author predicts one day will happen to Earth. Its oceans have shrunk. Mar's inhabitants have started looking to other planets for resources and a new home. Earth's lush vegetation, abundance of water, and warmer climate has caused them to set their sites on our planet.

It began with a sighting of flaming gas coming towards Earth in the night. There was only a small note in one of the newspapers about the sighting. The author is a friend with a local astronomer, Ogilvy, who is very excited. The next night there is another flaming jet of gas from Mars to Earth.
