That reminds me of a science fiction novel I read years ago, "The Mote
in God's Eye," by David Niven and Jerry Pournelli. It's been years
since I've read it; but, it seems to me that that in the novel the
human race encounters another life form that was similar to what
you've described.

*Larry Niven*...David Niven was the absolutely wonderful English actor.
Jerry Pournelle, not Pournelli.

Correction duly noted. (I'm writing these notes on the fly. And David
Niven was a great actor. I liked his role in "The Guns of Navarone."
Did I spell that right?) (He also had a role in a movie, as a
minister, with Cary Grant as an ange that I enjoyedl. Don't recall
the title.) I also read "Footfall" and "Lucifer's Hammer" by the same
duo, both good reads.

Come to think of it, David Niven was in one of my favorite movies,
"The Pink Panther." That was the original with Robert Wagner and
Peter Sellers.
