To: President Dwight Eisenhower Re: Findings on Engineering Opportunities Regarding Debris from 1952 Meteor Shower Security Status: Eyes Only Date: January 3, 1956 |

Dear Mr. President,
Words can not express my gratitude for the opportunity to chair the research team investigating
the debris from the 1952 Bering Strait meteor shower, which we have come to name "Bio-Metal 11."
The research has enriched my life in ways that I never could have imagined.
The engineering prospects for this bio-metal are nothing short of astounding. In working with
the material, we at Arkin Industries have found exciting new prospects for weapon systems. The
inherent memory within the material has shown us how to reconstruct the material into a new
breed of all-terrain vehicles and futuristic weaponry the likes of which we've never seen here
on Earth.
It is regrettable that we do not have enough of this material to begin mass production of the
new designs. With enough of the material, we could drive our armies through Red Square without
a casualty. Be advised, however, that should the Soviets get ahold of enough of this material
they could just as easily put the Cold War to rest.
I recommend that we use our current reserves of the bio-metal to implement our designs for
interplanetary transports that could allow us to reach neighboring planets likely to hold more
of the material. Once there, we could remanufacture the material into reclamation units,
harvest the bio-metal, and ship it back to Earth to fuel our weapons programs.
The end of the Cold War is at hand. As we move forward with our exploration, research, and
development into this bio-metal, I would gladly serve in any way possible
Best Wishes,
Dr. Wilhelm Arkin
Chairman of the Board
