Operation Terror

Coastal radars detect an unlikely, slow-moving celestial object whose calculated trajectory converges on a remote mountain lake being readied as a national park. Surveyors and construction crews carry on unaware while military installations scramble planes and analyze the anomaly. A faint seismic shock marks the object's descent amid unbroken cloud cover, and something inexplicable emerges from the lake that prevents approach and triggers mass evacuation and containment efforts. The narrative follows the unfolding confusion among local workers and authorities as they face bafflement, rising alarm, and attempts to understand and control an ominous, unapproachable presence in the wilderness.
