LONDON, - A Malaysian woman says she wants the United Nations to pick her as the first point of contact for aliens trying to communicate with Earth.
If she has her way, astrophysicist Mazlan Othman will be the person space aliens are referred to when they say "take me to your leader," The Guardian reported.
Othman is presently head of the U.N. Office for Outer Space Affairs, or Unoosa, and was expected to tell delegates about her plans at a Royal Society Conference in Buckinghamshire, England, next week, the report said.
In a recent talk Othman 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," she said.
Her plan is to make Unoosa the coordinating body for alien encounters; U.N. scientific advisory committees will debate the proposal before it reaches the body's general assembly, the newspaper said.
Bingo.
I think that’s a pretty good joke! LOL!
No more dill pickles and FR UFO threads for you before bed.
The best thing about nightmares are you wake up and relize your home Dorthey.
Yep! Their saving grace. *whew* I'll skip the pickles next time! ;^)
For a second I thought the sign in front of her said “Mothman.”
They are likely to wipe us all out if that’s the first woman we offer them.
I knew what you meant.
I agree wholesale.
Thx.
I'd laugh if suddenly radio contact was made, and the alien voice that came over the air waves was that of Ronald Reagan.
Definitely grist for the Not-A-Ping List!
I just hope that the first words out of the aliens’ mouths are “Shalom chaverim!”
Just as long as it isn’t Hebrew for “To Serve Man!”
Not kosher!
They won't say: "take me to your leader."
They won't say anything at all.
It’s... It’s... A COOK BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not Kucinich? I knew something was different.
