Harry Bates - Farewell to The Master (1940)
"The story is told from the viewpoint of Cliff Sutherland, a freelance picture reporter, who is present when a mysterious
"curving ovoid" ship suddenly appears on the grounds of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Two days later, "visitors
from the Unknown" emerge: a "god-like" person in human form and an 8-foot (2.44 m) tall robot made of green metal. The former
only manages to state "I am Klaatu and this is Gnut" before he is shot and killed by a lunatic. Klaatu is buried nearby. In the
days that follow, Gnut remains motionless, while laboratories and a museum are built around it and the ship. Both prove impervious
to the investigations of scientists."
