Grounded
"Grounded" by William Sambrot is a science fiction novella published in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s. The story is set against the backdrop of a top-secret military project and explores themes of aerial combat, unidentified flying objects, and the psychological implications of potential extraterrestrial encounters. The topic revolves around military operations and the mysteries surrounding advanced technology or possible alien intervention. The narrative follows Lieutenant Colonel Martin, who, after a harrowing encounter with a mysterious flying object, finds himself under scrutiny following the tragic crash of three of his fellow pilots. As he recounts the chase of the enigmatic disc, he becomes increasingly convinced that they were deliberately misled, perhaps through a form of mind control. Despite presenting compelling evidence in the form of photographs, his claims lead to skepticism from higher authorities. As the investigation escalates, Martin experiences an unsettling realization that his findings have been colluded against, culminating in a poignant climax that leaves him utterly physically and psychologically drained. The story delves into themes of isolation, distrust within the military, and the haunting possibility of unexplained phenomena beyond human comprehension.
