Quiet Please, originally broadcast August 9, 1948, 70 years ago. The Thing on the Fourble Board - Oil drilling creates the deepest holes inside the Earth in order to exhume rocks dating back millions of years. Together they form overlapping layers of dirt and rocks, covering something down there, deep in the past. It is only a matter of time before the excavators brought it up on the surface. A weird tale about a roughneck an oil rig worker who was involved in some strange goings on twenty years earlier. Whilst drilling he and one of his colleagues came across some unexpected contents in the core of earth that had been drilled up from several thousand feet underground. Discovering an ornate gold ring amongst the rubble was odd enough, but this paled in significance when compared to what came along with it. Created and written by Wyllis Cooper (pictured)
