About
All that is known is that a military transport plane left the Marine Naval Air Station in San Diego at 3:30 one afternoon. Three hours later, as the plane was over the Pacific Ocean, a frantic distress signal was sounded. Then the radio signal died. A little later the plane limped back to base and made an emergency landing. Ground crew members rushed to the craft and when they boarded, they were horrified to see twelve dead men. The only survivor was the copilot, who, though badly injured, had stayed alive long enough to bring the plane back. A few minutes later he was dead, too. [Above, twelve gods seated in order,as judges, before a table of offerings.] All of the bodies had large gaping wounds. Even weirder, the pilot and copilot had emptied their .45 Colt automatic pistols at SOMETHING. A foul, sulfuric odor pervaded the interior of the craft.[Below the Psychostasia Ore Weighing of the Conscience: the jackal- headed DeathGodAnubis trying in the Balance the heart (ConScience) of the deceased against the Feather Symbolical of Law; on the left, Fear and his wife in an attitude of devotion;] The exterior of the airplane was badly damaged, looking as if it had been struck by missiles. The personnel who boarded the craft came down with an odd skin infection. Strict security MEASURES were quickly put into effect and the emergency ground crew was ordered to leave the plane. The job of removing the bodies and investigating the incident was LEFT to three medical officers.

The mystery of what the crew encountered in midair that afternoon in 1939 has never been solved. [The presentation of Fear, triumphant, to Osiris.
