UN to appoint Earth contact for aliens (Yes, you read that correctly and no, it's not a spoof)
News.Com (Australia) ^ | September 25, 2010

THE United Nations was set today to appoint an obscure Malaysian astrophysicist to act as Earth�s first contact for any aliens that may come visiting.

Mazlan Othman, the head of the UN's little-known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa), is to describe her potential new role next week at a scientific conference at the Royal Society’s Kavli conference centre in Buckinghamshire.

She is scheduled to tell delegates that the recent discovery of hundreds of planets around other stars has made the detection of extraterrestrial life more likely than ever before - and that means the UN must be ready to coordinate humanity’s response to any “first contact”.

During a talk Othman gave recently to fellow scientists, she said: “The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that some day humankind will receive signals from extraterrestrials.
"When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.”

The US President and the US military do the old meet and greet with an alien probe on “Monsters and Aliens”. Very Funny.

It’s all part of the same satanic globalist agenda, strategy etc.

The critters will make it easier to scare the globe’s citizens into a global government . . . as well as to tyrannically maintain such.

Whaddya bet they've been cooking up a set of brand spanking new aliens in Hollywood somewhere. Then this clown walks out and tells us they all legit.

"Signs and wonders" here we come. Sigh.

>And how does one proceed to tell the aliens that this fella is the “go to guy” for first contact? Do we transmit his home address and mobile phone number out into space?

Nah, the aliens will just Google her Facebook address. I agree with one Freeper...who gave her the authority to speak for us?

They need someone to show off our masterful hedgerows, cesspools, Islam, corpse burning pits, industrial ruins, dead farmland, and other assorted spectacles of misery.

I think that the goal is to have an ambassador from Earth.....those are all aliens.

 

My vote is to have the Extraterrestrial Ambassador be a rotating appointment every year.....and to have the slot filled by the winner of a mud-wrestling bout between members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.  That way we at least will be putting our best foot forward, appearance-wise.

Now it’s not just Nasa reaching out to Muslims.

"When it comes to aliens from outer space, I let my Phazer do that!"

Not me! I doubt that a phazer will even faze them. I'm going with the Slim Whitman music myself.

I learned everything about alien contact from the Cantina sequence in the original Star Wars. Keep your light sabre and blaster handy.

I can see it now. The Malaysian lady tells the Klingons that she and all her people are friendly towards them but that the planet does have inhabitants loyal to the Federation and they live in America.

They've been here for years and years, and the UN is just getting around to appointing someone?

I guess we'll just have to make up for the delay by catching up with the spending aspect of it.

A budget of about $2 trillion a year should do, to start. Don't you think?

(and I'm adding the sarcasm tag, even though I don't think it's needed, because someone will eventually think I'm serious)
