The whole team is there along with just about everyone in several of the adjacent towns. It is a mysterious curiosity until it turns into horror. The ship opens and kills several people. Not knowing what to do the people sent an impromptu peace delegation. As they approach the ship an antenna protrudes from the ship and sets all the men on fire with some sort of invisible heat ray.
