I read a short story very similar, the O mouth, thick atmospehere and finally, a magnfying glass to find the landed alien ship. Brilliant idea, still valid and as novel today.

Great story, when you think from before I was born but still entertaining today. Beautifully performed too!

Douglas Addams wrote a quick little paragraph about an invading alien life form that had entered Earth's atmosphere and had a powerful weapon that could destroy the planet but it was saved when a dog yawned and swallowed the entire ship!😆

I'm wondering what The (New York) Times had done to offend the author.
