No intelligent species is coming to Clown World.

[Vermont Lt]

I would imagine that any beings traveling across the expanse of the universe would probably direct the conversation.

[AZJeep]

Those Scientists!
They have nothing else to do!

[moovova]

[grobdriver]

a team of policy experts and scientists

From the same folks who brought us the COVID response.

We're doomed.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Make sure they play some Slim Whitman tunes while the Aliens wait on hold!

*SMIRK*

[logi_cal869]

More gaslighting from those who have already had that conversation.

Trot out Kamala to discuss the moon with them. On second thought, bad idea. They’d probably destroy the Earth to ensure that such utter stupidity didn’t spread.

[TexasFreeper2009]

everything on earth survives by feeding off of something else in some way.

I expect aliens to be no different. Odds are any aliens that came here would want our resources or us in some bad way. And the fact that they have the tech to get here shows they have the means to take whatever they wanted with little effort.

I’m currently watching the 2019 “War of the Worlds” series on Prime. The aliens have their own “contact protocol” established.

They’re killing every living human on earth.

I can’t blame them...

[RoosterRedux]

As Robert Bigelow says, no need to look for them out yonder. They’re already here.

[mountainlion]

President Eisenhower signed a treaty with then in the 1950’s. The government is well known for paying for duplicate programs.

[glorgau]

Probably presumes what form the aliens will take. Maybe they are already here.

[ClearCase_guy]

Protocol? Tell them we've already got one.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

Give them a dvd of Pam and Tommy.

[Magnum44]

I thought we worked out this communications thing years ago...

Results varied...

[Still Thinking]

Tell them their warranty is about to expire.

[Leep]

Good to see we’re not wasting money while we massively in debt.

[butlerweave]

We Surrender ?

[HandBasketHell]

This is going to be as useful as if the Indians developed a contact protocol for the Spanish Conquistadors. The side with the superior technology will wipe out the inferior side.

End of story.

And if any alien race has the technology to get to Earth from across the cosmos, they will regard us in the same way that we regard a flea. There will be no benevolent coexistence of species as depicted on Star Trek or Babylon 5.
