Dr. Andrew Mistingon, a pioneering researcher into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, discovered something common among people who lived around the world at various times. Beacons, in the form of massive blocks, were used to send signals into outer space. These blocks ceased to function due to catastrophic events in the past. However, recently, these blocks have begun to show some activity. In 1961, a farmer noticed a strange glow in his cornfield. Despite his fear, James decided to investigate the source of the glow.
