Influence on Prometheus story?

This is part of a plot summary from [b]The Space Vampires[/b] by Colin Wilson - first published in 1976. [quote][i]In the late twenty-first century, far out in a nearby asteroid belt, a gigantic derelict castle-like alien spacecraft is discovered by the space exploration vehicle Hermes, commanded by Captain Olof Carlsen. Investigating the spacecraft's interior, the astronauts first discover the desiccated corpses of giant bat-like creatures, then three glass coffins containing three immobilized humanoids - two male and one female - preserved in a state of suspended animation.[/i][/quote] Sounds pretty familiar. I'd say it probably had to have some influence. Dan O'Bannon wrote the original script for ALIEN and he also wrote the script for the movie Lifeforce which was based on The Space Vampires. Wilson also wrote a story called [b]The Philosopher's Stone[/b].
