I've sometimes been amused by the idea of what folks a few thousand years from now might make of fragmentary records of Star Trek/Star Wars/Star Gate/B5 etc. Here, of course, you have stories with people that are made up to look a little unusual, using fantastic machines (starships are essentially modern flying chariots). I expect there would be some claiming they are evidence of ET visitation, though.
