== Summary ==
== Summary ==
A small flying saucer, about two feet in diameter, lands on Druid's Table, a flat rock outcrop near John Breen's farm. The farmer sees it and picks it up, then takes it to his house. He calls the police and then his son, a journalist. By the time Ernest Breen arrives his father has vanished. He takes the saucer to UNIT HQ but disappears from his car before he can hand it over. Despite the Doctor's warnings the Brigadier picks up the saucer and takes it to the Doctor's laboratory. He too vanishes. The Doctor recognises the technology of the saucer as belonging to Triolites from Ur. He knocks up a device of his own and instructs Jo in how to control it then grabs the saucer and is transported aboard the Triolite ship. He signals Jo who sets the device in motion, wrecking the ship while the Doctor, Brigadier and the two Breens escape.
