Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, is set to be tasked with co-ordinating humanity’s response if and when extraterrestrials make contact.
Aliens who landed on earth and asked: “Take me to your leader” would be directed to Mrs Othman.
She will set out the details of her proposed new role at a Royal Society conference in Buckinghamshire next week.
The 58-year-old is expected to tell delegates that the proposal has been prompted by the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting other starts, which is thought to make the discovery of extraterrestrial life more probable than ever before.
Mrs Othman is currently head of the UN’s little known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa).
In a recent talk to fellow scientists, she said: “The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that some day human kind will received 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.”
Professor Richard Crowther, an expert in space law at the UK space agency who leads delegations to the UN, said: “Othman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a ‘take me to your leader’ person”.
The plan to make Unoosa the co-ordinating body for dealing with alien encounters will be debated by UN scientific advisory committees and should eventually reach the body’s general assembly.
Opinion is divided about how future extraterrestrial visitors should be greeted. Under the Outer Space Treaty on 1967, which Unoosa oversees, UN members agreed to protect Earth against contamination by alien species by “sterilising” them.

This body is full of nuts, socialist & communist pieces of crap. It needs to be flushed.

My guess is about 10-20 million dollars of stimulus money went to further this endeavor.
Soooooooooo…is this to be the contact point for all GODS and their representatives also. Will they be required to stand in long lines, have state approved or global governance papers, and be categorized by place of origin, color of skin, and sexual orientation…
Will those representing the Moon God (aka Allah of Islam) and their contacts here on earth be provided a place to process all their grievances about being on earth and not getting their fair-share with the Foreign Nations Association directly.
Further, Jerry Brown would make a wonderful Associate Director.
"What Jose' wants to know is how Jose' gets back down!" ;)
The implications of this are that American taxpayers have been financing imbecility for a long, long time.
One of the most important things any politician can do is pledge to remove us from the tarpit of the U.N.
Waiting to be “contacted”? How do you get a job like that?
(ring…) “Hello. You have reached the Office for Outer Space Affairs.
Press ‘1’ if you’re an alien visiting this planet, for all others, press ‘2’.”
(pressing 1) “Greetings and welcome to earth! We’ve been expecting your call. An intergalactic speech translator will be with you shortly.
All calls taken in the order received. While you’re waiting, if you’d like to make a donation….”
Finally! An appropriate mission for the UN!
Yeah, me too. I feel the same way, but it goes waaaaay deeper than the idiots in Congress either past present or future.
Read a book by William F. Jasper called Global Tyranny: Step by Step and it will show you how truly evil the UN is and was in fact designed to be.
Please Mr. Alien. Do what you will with the UN. I have nothing to do with these nuts.
