There was also a vote with the best 10, I voted for this one & it was winning by leagues. Writer posted under a username & not her real one so I havent bothered to include it. I think this is brilliant....

Finally: contact. Humanity's ultimate question was answered.

A metallic sphere, roughly 3m in diameter, polished to a mirror. Nondescript otherwise except for an iridescent arrow indicating a recessed palm-sized red button.

The StarFreighter HMS Darwin approached the sphere and gently brought it aboard. The harbinger was "weighted", photographed and measured while the various crews of the armada impatiently paced and speculated.

Eventually came the day where the only thing left to do was push the palm-sized red button.

It took the light from the explosion four years to reach Earth.
If its not broken, Your not trying hard enough!!
