The Journals are old. How old has not been determined. The volumes have passed down from father to son, mother to daughter, uncle to nephew, aunt to niece, and cousin to cousin for more than 500 years. Each generation has added their experiences and memories to the collection until the volumes became unmanageable. In the past ten plus years they have been scanned into computer files and the books hidden away.

The earliest books, written in an unknown language, remained unreadable until 1999, when the present holder discovered the key to deciphering that language. With the aid of a computer the translation was finished early in 2002. It was then that the holder realized that the ancient manuscripts were more than just a family history.

While others theorize about life beyond our own planet, or argue what, if anything is hidden in Area 51, proof of life among the stars exists. The presence of these journals proves, at least to us who have been allowed to see and handle the original books and view the computer files, there is human life on other worlds and some of those people long ago journeyed to Earth.
