Summary "Stamped Caution" by Raymond Z. Gallun is a science fiction novel crafted during the early 1950s. The narrative centers around a group of scientists who encounter an extraterrestrial craft that has crashed on Earth and the repercussions of their discovery. The themes explored include the complexities of potential interspecies communication and the inherent dangers of initial contact between humans and alien life forms. The story unfolds with the discovery of a wrecked alien spaceship and the examination of its peculiar contents by a team of scientists led by Colonel Miller. Among the vital findings is a small, encased creature soon named Etl, which the team raises and studies over several years. As the plot progresses, Etl evolves from a bewildering infant-like entity to a sentient individual, displaying intelligence and curiosity akin to that of a human child. Ultimately, the team embarks on a journey to Mars with Etl in an effort to establish contact with his species. The plot climaxes with a tense encounter with Martians, where the initial fear and prejudice give way to a glimmer of hope for understanding and cooperation between Earth and Mars, illustrating both the peril and possibility of interstellar relations.
