When a mysterious metallic object crashes in the American Midwest, the government publicly attributes it to a harmless atmospheric probe. But far from public view, the truth is quietly transported to a classified military installation known as Area-63. Inside the recovered craft, officials discover something they never expected: a being who looks human, speaks calmly, and carries himself with an ageless serenity. He calls himself Samuel.

The U.S. government assembles an elite group of scientists, theologians, and scholars to unravel the mystery of this extraordinary visitor. Among them is Professor Alessandro Raimondi, an Italian-born quantum physicist whose lifelong pursuit has been to understand the unseen forces that govern existence. Raimondi approaches Samuel not with fear, but with deep intellectual reverence, instinctively sensing that this encounter could redefine humanity’s understanding of life, creation, and purpose.

At the head of the military facility is General Theodore Vesper, a disciplined but thoughtful commander who views Samuel not as an enemy, not even as a threat, but as an unprecedented responsibility. Under his watch, the interviews unfold with caution, curiosity, and a sense of profound historical weight.

Across a series of private, meticulously controlled conversations, Samuel begins to speak, quietly at first, then with growing depth. His answers blend science, metaphysics, and something far older and more elusive than either. Every session challenges the boundaries of what Raimondi and the other experts believe is possible. Samuel does not boast, manipulate, or frighten; instead, he dismantles human assumptions with clarity, humility, and a perspective that seems to stretch far beyond the limits of human time.

Yet the more they learn, the deeper the mystery becomes.

Samuel, while willing to answer general questions from the panel of experts during their meetings, will not disclose the true purpose of his presence at the military facility. That revelation will be reserved exclusively for Alessandro Raimondi and shared only during a private conversation between the two.

This deliberate silence becomes one of the most unsettling elements of the entire encounter.

As the interviews progress, the experts themselves become the subjects of transformation. Some feel enlightened. Others feel threatened. Decisions made inside Area-63 begin to ripple outward, touching politics, national security, and the very foundation of human belief. Raimondi, especially, finds his worldview reshaped, not by fear, but by the dawning realization that humanity may have misunderstood its place in the universe for far too long.

The Meeting is more than a story of first contact. It is a confrontation with truth, truth about existence, faith, consciousness, and the fragile line between what humanity imagines… and what is real.

In this intimate and suspenseful narrative, Giuseppe Garufi blends real events, personal experiences, and carefully crafted fiction to create a story that feels disturbingly plausible. Every answer Samuel gives opens a deeper question. Every silence hints at something greater. And every expert who sits across from him realizes that some revelations do not come easily… and some cannot be forgotten.

What would you ask if the most important being you ever met was sitting right in front of you? And would you truly want to hear the answer?
