DAVIS, Calif.- A California psychologist says human beings may be ready to accept evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence without widespread panic.
Dr. Albert Harrison of the University of California's Davis campus said such a discovery "may be far less startling for generations that have been brought up with word processors, electronic calculators, avatars and cellphones as compared with earlier generations," The Scotsman reported Tuesday.
Harrison said discovering an alien life-form or signal would be unlikely to cause "widespread psychological disintegration and collapse."
Martin Dominik of Scotland's University of St. Andrews said Earth-like life on planets with similar environments may be a "cosmic imperative" and intelligent extra-terrestrial beings are likely quite similar to humans.

There are many old paintings ,lots of them with a religious theme,depicting UFO’s, yet we do not read much about them in literature. Was the literature purged concerning UFO’s. These artist must have
had some basis for depicting them.

I don’t think they photoshopped much back in 1710.

Oh...then the aliens are probably legal. The only place we have an illegal alien problem is in Arizona. That’s why people kill their congressmen there! That...and too much talk radio.
Do these aliens intending to visit our planet plan on establishing their own talk radio outlet? If so, might present a problem...

I guess this means that all aliens living amongst us can now safely "come out of the closet".
There are many in politics and media I have long suspected are not from this planet!
