PlotThe shuttle television on a United States space shuttle orbiting the Earth begins to malfunction so the astronauts on board shut it off. Back on Earth, two technicians are working on the shuttle after it has landed, and one of them, Crew Chief Simmons, detaches the camera. It is about the size of a large shoe box and Simmons decides to take it to be repaired. However, after he picks it up, a blue light flashes and he suddenly disappears. The box falls to the ground and another technician calls for an emergency alert. The box is put in an isolation chamber. As the scientists are discussing what could possibly have happened to the technician, there is a bright flash in the isolation chamber and Simmons appears. However, the box is gone. Simmons asks to be let out and gets quite angry about the situation. The scientists review the tape of the box changing into the man but are stumped. Simmons tells them his name, identification number, and everything personal they ask, but they still don't trust him. He tells them he has to get out and when they ask why Simmons disappears in another flash of light. Replacing him is a woman who begs them to let her out. One of the people says that it is Simmons' wife Kathy. They realize that the creature can assimilate memories and change its organic structure at will. When Kathy begs them to let her husband go, one of the scientists asks her where her husband is. Caught in a lapse in judgment, the creature gets flustered and tries to cover up its mistake. The blue light flashes again and Simmons reappears only to start breaking the interior of the isolation tank until the scientists subdue him with sleeping gas. He slumps to the floor but after one of the scientists, Dr. Vaughn Heilman, attempts to enter the chamber, Simmons takes his hand and they both disappear in a flash of blue light. In their place sits a nuclear bomb. The people on the outside remember too late that Dr. Heilman was once a bomb expert for the U.S. nuclear team. Dr. Curt Lockridge goes in and tries to reason with the creature, saying that it will probably survive the explosion but the people in the complex will not. When the timer reaches zero, Heilman appears again and runs out through the open door. Curt runs after him, catching up to him at a launch platform. He begs the creature to let the doctor and Simmons go. The creature says that they are not prisoners, but stay within him because they have a thirst for knowledge. The creature asks Curt to come with them, join them in the adventure but Curt cannot find the courage. Curt then asks why the creature came to earth. "Just curious," it replies, before changing into a glowing gaseous cloud and flying away into the night sky.

Now imagine you're this man, who can only guess at the wonders he might have known, wonders that exist for him now only as a riddle...from The Twilight Zone.}}See also
