* Brandon has confirmed that they visit First of the Sun through interplanetary space travel.{{wob ref|3295}}{{wob ref|17281782}} This is independent of [[worldhopping]].

* Vathi uses a handheld device that is both a language translator and a short-range Aviar-locating device.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
==Other appearances==
Some version of the Ones Above was seen in the [[Cosmere]] prior to the publication of ''Sixth of the Dusk''.{{wob ref|2665}}{{wob ref|1390}} Since no other works take place on First of the Sun, this means that they have been part of the storyline on another planet.
 
{{theory}}
Chronologically, Sixth of the Dusk occurs near the end of Brandon's overall plans for the Cosmere.{{book ref|sixth|part=postscript}}{{wob ref|17281782}} Brandon has mentioned that his long-term plan for the ''[[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn]]'' series includes books in a sci-fi setting that include FTL (faster-than-light) space travel.{{wob ref|1476}}{{wob ref|9005}}{{wob ref|10012}} Based on these facts, it has been theorized by many readers that the Ones Above are travelers from a future version of [[Scadrial]], but Brandon has declined to confirm this.{{wob ref|9320}}{{wob ref|7590}}{{wob ref|8479}}
