Riders of the Lost Mesa
Tom and Solomon investigate the strange reappearance of the top layer of a mesa presumably located somewhere in the western/southwestern United States. The population of the town located at the top of the formation is around a hundred people, all disfigured (with a third eye inserted on their forehead) as a result of what Tom deduces is alien experimentation. The townspeople were also observed planting alien crops. After a brief scuffle with the local townsmen, Tom is able to convince everyone that he means them no harm. He then explains to them that after their 1849 New Years Eve celebration, an alien presence removed the upper layer of the mesa – upon which they lived on – and experimented on them. It was a result of this experimentation, Tom hypothesizes, that none of the townspeople were aware of their situation, or the fact that they all now had an extra eye. Tom then promises to keep their existence a secret, and as he and Solomon ride away, the townspeople dynamite the track on the mesa, so that no one else could reach the top.
