alien discovery lifeform lightning panspermia planet space spacecraft

Manned spaceflights to the stars have become commonplace. What isn't commonplace is the existence of life, which has never been found outside the Earth.
Until the crew of a small survey craft make an incredible discovery at a remote planet; an alien life form. 
Before the crew can take possession of their find, however, it is cruelly taken from them in a way that could surely only ever bring about its complete and total annihilation.
Then one of the crew becomes convinced all hope is not lost and suggests a daring plan to get it back. 
The crew must make a decision; lose this incredible find forever or risk their lives in a brazen effort to retrieve it.All Rights Reserved

Humanity is a virus by JasontheFuzz

The first world is the key ____________________________ This tells the tale of two men who live at a point in time where the galaxy has been colonized and people are running out of new places to live. Governments have ignored this problem for eons, pressing forward while the people suffer behind them. Many desolate worlds exist that cannot support life, but the technology exists to terraform them in a short amount of time. The increasing demand for new planets is insatiable, however, and barely habitable worlds are being colonized despite the incredible risk. The men search these worlds in the hopes that they might find one where life exists such that its example could be used to save the whole galaxy from its many ecological crises, bringing a balance between progress and long-term survival. Instead they come across the worst case scenario- a worldwide environmental collapse. Their story begins here.

When I Hear The Calling by blake-bautista

What would the human race do if the earth could no longer carry us in her arms? A story set in a futuristic timezone where life on earth has reached its breaking point due to overpopulation, overconsumption, and rising sea levels. But luckily, Astro-scientists have discovered an Earth-like planet that can sustain our people. We began an expedition. * * * Our eyes, Foro and his sister Lorra, who is one of these researchers, are the lucky few to venture through the cosmos and land on this mysterious planet. Little did they know, they wouldn't be so lucky as they thought.

Paradise Blight by wdhenning

The first terraformed world, Tau Ceti Four, was now ready for colonization. Some called it Paradise, and it seemed a fitting name. The initial conditions before the terraforming began were perfect, too perfect for botanist Mora Torr. Something was not right. Engineer Gan Finn came over with the other colonists on the Ark Hope ship. He, like Mora, was as much running away from an anguished past as seeking Paradise. But twelve light-years distance itself does not cure broken hearts. "So, are there any alien jubjub birds, bandersnatches, or jabberwocks around here I should be worried about?" Laughter rolled from her mouth at the Alice in Wonderland reference. "Oh, nothing like that. It's not the big scary creatures we should worry about, besides other humans that is, but the tiny ones. History has shown us that things like bacteria, virus, and small parasites are the real killers. The deadliest creature in all the human history is a mosquito with a pathogen." ** Re-edited ** ** Open Novella II - Short List and Ambassador Pick ** ** Wattpad Editor's Choice (January 2020) **

Challenger strikes again by JohnThough

In 1873, the HMS Challenger departed on a pioneering research expedition that would go on to change our perception of life. They would discover life in the deep sea, at pressures far beyond those considered livable. And through sheer coincidence, Challenger is also the name of the spaceship that is about to make a similar discovery in space. The spaceship and it's crew, completely unaware of what they have stumbled upon, are about to shatter Humanity's pre-conceptions about the possibilities of extraterrestrial life. They are about to discover life in the cold, hostile, vacuum of space.

LF Friends, Will Travel by Bainshie

Terrans are not the strongest species in the universe. They are not the fastest species. They are most definitely not the smartest. But Terrans are the loneliest, willing to befriend anything that moves and several things that don't. After humanity nearly made themselves extinct with a "Terran brand oopsie"™, trillions of Terrans awaken from stasis and set themselves upon a Galaxy teeming with alien life, each writing their own story among the stars. Stories of compassion, of anger, of revenge, of justice. Stories of the clever and stories of the downright stupid. But mostly the story of Terrans looking for the one thing that all beings desire: Friendship amongst a lonely universe.

ET Hypothesis by jeshi99

Let's try this again. NASA launches a manned mission to the Kuiper belt to repair a space probe that had become silent. What the crew finds is my hypothesis of how we could determine if there are intelligent aliens out there in the universe and what would NASA morph into because of it.
