In the annals of classified history, dating back to 2042.06.12, the incident known as Project S.O.L.A.S. remains the most profound. NASA, under the guise of an orbital anomaly study, had secretly launched a multi-spectrum sensor array aimed at a recurring electromagnetic signature emanating from the Orion constellation.
The initial data was perplexing: a perfect, symmetrical triangular craft, cloaked in an iridescent fire. It was not a physical fire, but a manifestation of pure energy, a field of plasma that bent light and space around it. As the craft’s energy field intensified, a coherent signal began to emerge, piercing the noise of cosmic radiation. The signal was not a sound, but a visual data stream, rendered as a composite image.
The first frame was a face—a visage of impossible clarity, its features both alien and eerily familiar. As the signal progressed, the image morphed. The triangular vessel was not a craft, but a vessel for consciousness, its fiery shell a crucible for a being of immense power. The final image was a revelation, a figure radiating with the same blinding light as the vessel, a form that mirrored humanity’s most sacred iconography.
The classified report concluded that humanity had not discovered a new life form, but rather an ancient one—a race of sentient light-beings, whose existence transcended our understanding of matter and time. The message was clear: they were not here to conquer, but to reveal. They were the architects of light, the very essence of creation, and their arrival was the dawn of a new cosmic age, forcing humanity to confront the uncomfortable truth that all our myths were, in fact, memories.
