Into Outer Space: Again?

Ancient documents are discovered and when they are translated, the scholars are astounded that the documents record an apparent previous attempt by humans to colonize a planet in another solar system. They prepare a report which explains what happened to those earlier colonizers and forward it to the appropriate authorities and wonder what the consequences of a future attempt might be.

A peek inside:

The following is a compilation of official reports and personal logs which have recently been translated. Please note that there are substantial differences of opinions on the part of those scholars who might claim any acquaintance with the ancient language and some of them are positive that the following compilation is simply a modern fantasy with no correlation to what the documents in the original language could possibly mean. Those of us who worked on this compilation are too aware that the reports and logs which are available are not always complete (indeed, some are little more than fragments) and that some extrapolation on the part of the compilers was necessary in order to make the following understandable without significantly altering (we hope) the meaning. With those caveats in place, the following is presented for your review and consideration.
