| 520 | _a"The Crystal Planetoids" by Stanton A. Coblentz is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The story revolves around the characters Philip Dunbar, Ronald Gates, and Eleanor Firth as they make a horrifying discovery in their laboratory that something otherworldly is affecting the Earth’s atmosphere. When Ronald showcases his invention, the Infra-Red Eye, it reveals invisible creatures and webs in the sky that turn out to be the work of Saturnian invaders. At the start of the narrative, the three characters are working late at the Merlin Research Institute amidst ongoing strange meteorological phenomena. They are excited yet skeptical about Gates’ invention until Eleanor uses it and sees shocking images of gigantic, octopus-like beings constructing a web in the sky. Shortly after this revelation, they encounter the true danger of these beings, as they are captured and taken by them to one of the Crystal Planetoids, setting the stage for a thrilling confrontation between human ingenuity and alien menace. Gates, primarily focused on his scientific endeavors, must navigate his newfound captivity, while other characters wrestle with moral dilemmas and their complicated relationships.
