Meanwhile, the local sheriff and his deputy are dealing with strange reports of missing persons and strange rock formations that seem to have sprouted overnight. When they witness a car being crushed by a mysterious force, they begin to fear that something sinister is at work. As the town's scientist, Dr. Ragon, examines the black rocks, he discovers that they are actually extraterrestrial in origin and that they have the power to grow exponentially when exposed to water.
