Report of the three Objects

   I am not writing this report because I have to, or really want to, rather because I need to. Where to start however is not so easy. My involvement I suppose is as good a place as any I suppose. I was part of an Antarctic drill team; some top secret classified metal deposit; the kind of thing just a fragment of which found any where was the kind of thing empires would fight over apparently. During the drilling we ran into something, something that broke the drill. This object would lead me into a new world I had heard of, I suppose, in that movies and books often speak of such a world around us; but it’s the stuff of fiction, fantasy, and conspiracy nuts. I would find out later, we were lucky in Antarctica; I would find out later, through my own investigations that two other such objects had been found before. Before I talk about my experiences, I will briefly describe the nightmares that surrounded these other two.

   One of them was found in Central or South America; the exact location has been completely erased from records. It was found by an archaeological expedition; researching a possible lost city that had been swallowed up by the jungle. The object must have been found by whatever civilization was there who then built a temple on top of it. The object was found buried under a mountain of skeletons. The papers left behind by the survivors of the expedition say it’s likely the locals, during the time of this civilization up till the present had been throwing sacrifices into the pit for the object. Whether it ever reciprocated these sacrifices however there was no evidence that was apparent. There was also no translatable records left at the temple, or ever were, this could have been a completely new and forgotten civilization or sect; the papers were full of suppositions.

   The locals however, a never before identified tribe, were not kind to the expedition members. It seems they considered white people the spawns of evil and anyone working with them as corrupted. Given what happened with their ancestors and actions of some logging companies it’s not a bad assumption in their position. Unfortunately the expedition suffered from this encounter, out of twenty one people there were only three survivors. Two men, one who looks have been mid to late twenties and one older possibly late fifties early sixties, and one younger woman about the same age of the younger man. The two men have to explanation for how they survived; all three of them had been lined up to be stabbed by some sacred spear to be bled and then tossed into the pit of bones as part of some ritual. They say one moment the woman with them was stabbed and tossed in before them; the younger man seemed forlorn about this, possible friendship, possibly more, I didn’t pry, the next blackness. When they woke up it was daylight, the tribal warriors at the temple were all…”torn to pieces” is how they described it; and the woman was naked, covered in blood, and resting on a cot.

  Unfortunately for me and my research into these objects she appears to have suffered a mental breakdown from the experience. She is currently staying at a mental institution. They tell when she arrived she was barely coherent, aggressive, and I was told liked to bite other patients and staff if they get too close to her. With drugs she has made some progress I am told, what I met seemed more like a drugged out, barely coherent mess, in other words “doped”. I asked her as calmly as I could about the incident; about how she survived being stabbed and thrown into a dark pit full of skeletons and rotting bodies; not the words I used at the time of course, and how she got out if she could remember. She only said two sentences to me, “I looked into the abyss, and the abyss looked back”, a paraphrase of a popular quote, the second thing was, “I touched the darkness, and the darkness touched back.” She then smiled, looked out the window and hummed. As I left she spoke again, I cannot be certain it was to me however I believe she said, “She will come for me. She visits me in my dreams.” I have no records on how the military validated this story; I interviewed them myself after reading a one page, detail lacking report of a similar object to the Antarctic one being found by an ill-fated expedition in the jungle. Her words as I left; now thinking about them as I didn’t at the time send a shiver up my spine given something my superior officer said to me; which I will get to later.

   I put a break here as the second incident deserves to be separated from the above as it stands alone as even more unbelievable. This happened during the later days of the USSR, the soviets had a mining operation in some misbegotten part of northern Siberia. Like us in Antarctica they ran into something they couldn’t dig through or blast through. Their reports stated that they believed it to be some strange metal or else a meteor fragment; possibly the cause for the dome like deposit of metal. This caused me to pause in my research as my own team had made the remark that the metal we found in Antarctica was of a strange regular shape, like a massive dome or cube shape only warped possibly by tectonic movement and pressure. They wanted to carefully extract the pieces to examine them closely, this was denied. And I mean denied by the Soviets and our guys in Antarctica, apparently the metal is to be transported immediately upon extraction.

   The Soviet report states that their troubles at their base began after they removed the object from the mine and brought it into the base. The base was attacked. I had the luck thanks to clearance and contacts in Moscow to interview a survivor as well as being allowed to see censored documents, censored only it seems of official Soviet goings on not the details of the attack which they were happy to share; almost like a warning. At first it was only a few attacks on the fringes of the base, then more showed up. I pressed for knowing who attacked them; they were uneasy telling me this part. The survivor I interviewed stated that official the creatures, yes indeed “creatures” were described by the base reports as “Deformed Psychotic Albino Cannibals”. The man I interviewed stated that in his own report he described them as blood thirsty naked white goblins; he fell silent a moment and said there was another name he wanted to call them but felt the “V-word” would have damaged his career much more so than even calling something a “goblin”.


  The creatures attacked on dark days, and when the long night fell they attacked in greater numbers. The base weaponry was able to keep them at bay at first, until their numbers increased. The survivor told me one of his comrades noticed a pattern to the attacks, a pattern that contradicted earlier assumptions to the contrary. The creatures were neither attacking at random, or seemed to be going after the object; rather their attacks have been keeping their distance from the object. It was like they could somehow sense where it was, and were avoiding it while also trying to kill the people who dug it up; like they were afraid of it. As the attacks grew and the base personal lost ground, his small band of survivors took what provisions and weapons they could and made their way to close proximity to the thing. They were able to hold out till sunrise, which was over a month away, and help arrived. I was, and still am a bit confused what he meant by they made the mistake of warming the object up. As I didn’t know what that implied he wouldn’t tell me, I realized my own superiors back in Antarctica had been keeping the object in a cold room with liquid nitrogen sprayed on it. Which is strange for something I only know of three instances of being found; I may need to check even older records as my government no doubt has run into these objects before.

   At any rate, I was told that when the backup arrived there were no signs of the creatures, even the ones that had hidden in their buildings that would attack anyone who braved a run for supplies; except for one. They had killed one and dumped it into a meat locker; this one specimen backed up their story, the other records, and explained the missing soldiers and crew. When I pressed for the fate of the object, he just told me, “it flew away”. Which just deepens the mystery.

  Central or South American cult making sacrifices, having to keep them cold to I can surmise to keep them inactive, and strange creatures that will attack those who dig one up yet appear to be afraid of one of these objects. I can’t say often the word “aliens” keeps screaming in my head about this whole thing. In my case, there was no cult or creatures, this being far inland Antarctica neither would be able to survive; not much here in the way of wild life. I can say that we too couldn’t blast it or dig through it, and the second we had it out of the ground our superior officer had the thing kept outside in the snow in an area cordoned off from entry. That was till the weird men were brought in, the suits and spooks who showed up, built a special cold room for it. I remember hearing one of them refer to the object as a “Sleeping Dreamer”. I couldn’t help but feel they knew something we didn’t. After all these interviews I still don’t know.

   No sooner do I think I’ve ended my report and given up my investigation than I get an unmarked vanilla envelope with a copy of a photo from what looks like the late 1800’s or early 1900’s and out west showing several men at a mining camp standing around one of the objects. This picture came with a note that read, “When the nights grow short and the hot wind blows they awaken” and “Drop the case, you know more than you should know, you don’t want to know more if you want to sleep easy at night. We are watching you now.”

   A weird mix of a warning and a threat it seems. This is my last entry in my report, no one will ever believe it; not that anyone other than me will ever read it.

  -heh- and then I stole this report right off his computer and posted it online.
  I AM AWAKE.
