Defontenay's 1854 "Star, ou Psi Cassiopea" is seen by some as an example of proto-space opera. Others see Defontenay as a predecessor of Olaf Stapledon. "Star" describes the discovery in the Himalayas of a stone that has fallen from the sky. After opening it, it turns out to contain a metal box where the narrator finds some paper manuscripts. After two years of study, he managed to decipher them and finds out that they describe the alien societies of various humanoid races living in the constellation of Cassiopeia. One set of creatures were 9-foot tall blue-haired immortal humanoids.
