Interesting depictions
|
|
| Alien contact: |
|
| The aliens are suitably alien. They are perplexing and inscrutable, and even simple communications are difficult. They can conceal their activities at will. People greet them with a mix of curiosity and awe. |
|
| |
|
| They possess baffling technologies, possibly including antigravity. And the return of people who have been gone for decades suggests that their ships can travel at least a significant fraction of the speed of light. |
