For Ms Sakai...the universe just got a little bigger.The universe is infinite..and one day, I hope, we will get to see even a tiny fraction of it.

@DorianMichaelsIII They are, as has been said, the First Ones..ancients, ageless, timeless, those who remain from the beginning. Lorien knew them, as he had helped them grow into who they are now..more than that, we cannot understand. Where they go or why..none can know. They are a mystery.

You know, I think that if an individual from a Type III civilization were to show sympathy for a lesser civilization, they would probably be labeled as something of an equivalent to a hippie by their peers. It's like a human feeling sorry for an ant that it accidentally stepped on. That said, let's hope that there are a lot of Type III hippies in the universe.

@DorianMichaelsIII Suffice to say that, though these particular first ones take up for the younger races, they do NOT appear to be favorably disposed to the Vorlons!

We also see them in the Episode into the Fire in season 4, during the last battle of the shadow war.
I can think of the season 3 episodes name where they are encountered by Marcus and Susan while they are out looking for First ones. They are encountered again in Sigma 957, as that world used to be this particular race's homeworld millions of years ago.
That ship is the last of their people that still roam our galaxy, the rest of them went beyond the galactic rim, to go to a new galaxy.

That's incredibly awesome. I didn't know about that. Strange new worlds...
Do you know what the name of the new telescope will be? Is it a NASA project? If so I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Small question from he who is little more than an ant on the Babylon 5 universe; who (or more precisely WHAT) was it that Miss Sakai saw? Now due to the look of that ship, my initial guess would be "Vorlon". But truly, I have no idea. Or is it as I suspect-- that we never find out what that really was? Any help would be immensely appreciated.

@Dorian, they do in fact appear again and we are given some more information about who and what they are.
I think it would be better to find out on your own as the series progresses. If you like I could explain, but I prefer to discover these things the way the writer intended. I think it's not until season 4 that things are made clear, this being from season 1. So do you want the spoilers?

@theinquisitor Oh please, oh please-- I'm desperate to know; I'm far too curious to wait to watch all the episodes between this moment and the reveal; I would really and truly love to know now. I promise, whatever it is, it won't spoil anything too badly for me. Let me make another guess while I'm at it though-- if they aren't the Vorlons, they're another one of the First Ones, decided to pay the old haunt a visit from wherever the hell it is that they ran off to in the first place.

As you wish, however you've guessed much of the extent of what is revealed anyway. Wasn't sure how far you'd gotten into the series, but apparently you're already aware of the First Ones, and this is indeed a ship of one of those races.
We see them later in early season 3 as they become involved in the Shadow war. Ivanova learns how to contact them and even has a brief conversation with one of them through a holographic avatar which may or may not represent their true appearance.
