The Fourth Invasion
THE FOURTH INVASION
When seven university students report seeing strange craft and small, winged figures descend near the ground, Dr. Clayton suspects more than youthful imagination. Their accounts differ in vivid details, yet all agree on one unsettling fact: there were exactly three objects. As newspapers blame alien visitors and public panic spreads, Clayton begins probing the students’ experiments with the mysterious “y wave.”
The students insist they have only described what they witnessed, but their testimony echoes earlier episodes of mass hysteria, from wartime radio scares to flying-saucer spectacles engineered for publicity. Now fires, deaths, and serious disruption suggest that someone—or something—is deliberately turning human credulity into a weapon. With the FBI involved and the university under scrutiny, the group must confront a disturbing possibility: their scientific work may have opened a channel to an invasion unlike any the world has faced before.
