- Not to be confused with Zirkonian.
Zirconians are a humanoid species that arrived on Earth to meet with Humanity.
Biology[]
Zirconians appear externally indiscernable from Humans, and any differences in internal physiology are unknown.
Culture and society[]
A pamphlet for a spaceship dealership
Zirconians are known to be quite friendly, seeking to build alliances with other planets. To do this, they meet with the first member of the native species they find, regardless of that member's true power or importance, and then move on to meeting with other individuals and governments on the planet. Zirconians are also known to get intimate with members of other species, even after just meeting them, rather quickly moving for full-lip kisses. Their homeworld, Zircon, has stores for new and used spacecraft, advertised with paper pamphlets. They also have a form of communication similar to Earth's telephones, with phone numbers being a series of letters rather than numbers, which can form phrases resembling common onomatopoeias for electronic equipment. Business addresses on Zircon resemble those commonly seen in the modern Western world, and the Zirconian language is identical to English.
Female Zirconian spaceship crewmates wear dark sleeveless minidresses over tight, lighter, long-sleeved shirts, light nylon leggings, and white-tipped high-heels. In addition, they have a lightning bolt-like symbol on their right breasts. They are also known to have belts that are either white or black, with any significance in the colors unknown, and do not appear to carry any weapons, likely due to the peaceful nature of their missions. Any differences for male uniforms are unknown.
Technology[]
Zirconians utilize flying saucer-shaped spacecraft for interstellar travel, piloted by crews of two, which are capable of broadcasting messages from a microphone inside. The controls are a set of dials, used by a standing operator. One spaceship model made by the Zirconians is the Sputnik-G.i.-8, which has a flat bottom and two small antennae coming from its top dome. The exact capabilities of this model are unknown, and the only Zirconian spaceship seen by Humans did not appear to be a Sputnik-G.i.-8.
History[]
Joe meets Elektra and Tyrin
The Zirconians arose on Zircon, developing space travel and dealerships for new and used spaceships. In the mid-20th century, two female members of this species, named Elektra and Tyrin, were sent to Earth to build an alliance between Earth and Zircon. Flying over a forest, they first came across a dimwitted Human named Joe, the cousin of the equally dimwitted Moe and Larry, who together made a trio known as the Three Stooges. They landed near Joe's campsite, hearing that Joe wanted a picture of a flying saucer, and thus gave a pamphlet for a A.B. & Cloud Co., spaceship dealership, to Joe when they greeted him, as it bore a picture of a flying saucer. Joe, smitten by their beauty, asked to take a picture of their ship. Seeing Joe shaking in joy while lining up his shot, they helped him hold the camera steady.
Joe on tour with Elektra and Tyrin
After taking the picture, Tyrin told Joe that they had to leave in order to meet with other Earth leaders, but offered to kiss him before leaving. Joe happily agreed, and was kissed by Tyrin, then by Elektra, leaving his ears literally steaming with love. After meeting with world leaders, proving their existence and the authenticity of Joe's photographs, Joe became a national hero for establishing contact with aliens, and toured on a ticket tape parade with Elektra and Tyrin by his side.
Appearances[]
- Flying Saucer Daffy (1958)
Notes[]
- Flying Saucer Daffy utilized footage from Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, and thus the craft used by the aliens are the same crafts utilized by the far more hostile aliens from that film, with no in-story relation. In addition, the interiors of the Zirconian spacecraft appear vastly different from that of the ships seen in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers.
- The name of this species is conjectural, as while their true name is unknown, it can be inferred they are known as "Zirconians" (not to be confused with Zirkonians), since their planet is named "Zircon".
- It is unknown if this species is all female or not.
