He warned scientists to use caution in using the practice of METI, or “Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence” for fear it could provoke an alien invasion.
But Caballero conceded that the odds of extraterrestrials wiping out the human species is about the same as the planet being destroyed by a “global catastrophe asteroid.”
He wrote that such an event takes place once every 100 million years, so humans are in all likelihood safe for the time being.

Everyone today get 15 tweets of fame. Then disappear into the quantum foam of oblivion, forever.
They’re all here already and being allowed to overrun the country through the open border.
Ironically, it tends to be the folks who mock Christianity and God who believe in space aliens. But call them angels and demons, and see their reaction.
So, yes, we are already under attack by a hostile, higher form of life living in another dimension.
This guy is late to the party. The Bible dealt with this long ago.
All you need is a towel.
I always knew there was something a little strange about those Milky Way bars.
Hmmm.... Let’s see...
1) DemocRATS
2) Liberals
3) Commies
4) Socialists
Huh?
There's probably around a trillion exoplanets in our galaxy. We've already found about 5,000 of them and really, we've just started looking.
We find exoplanets around ever star we've looked for them at and we've looked at around 3,000 stars. A few hundred billion more to go! If exoplanets are the rule and not the exception, this number will be huge.
I think this misconception might come from a once-popular book “Rare Earth” published in 2000. It based its whole logic on a premise that with current telescopes we haven’t seen many planets and that must mean planets are extremely rare.
It was already largely bunk at the time of publishing, but we have gotten better telescopes now and seen that planets are not rare. We just couldn’t see them with the old stuff.
Thou shalt count to 4
No more, no less
4 is the number thou shalt count
And the number of the counting shall be 4
5 shall thou not count
Neither shalt thou count to 3
Excepting that thou then proceed to 4
6 is right out.
They’ve already invaded...they released a deadly virus called liberalism. It removes all rational thought to the point people don’t even know what sex they are.
Someone has been reading too many comic books.
Well, as the Sun will, by normal progression, overheat the Earth no later than 1 Billion years from now, who cares what this doofus academic says about a danger in 0.1 Billion years?
I have this book. That’s not what it is about.
It is about how rare intelligent life may be. It assumes many planets.
Klingons, Romulans, the Dominion and the Borg.
Other than an oxygen rich atmosphere and life in general it’s hard to see what an alien race would want with the earth…
Any civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel in reasonable time spans certainly can find any resources it needs all over the galaxy.
In spite of sci fi movies saying otherwise, water is abundant in the universe.. as are minerals etc…
I read that they already visited as dogs but no one really noticed
Some say the answer is forty-two but that is really 38
He wrote that such an event takes place once every 100 million years, so humans are in all likelihood safe for the time being.LOL. Fatal car accidents happen once in a blue moon, so you are safe for the time being.
Your 100,000,000 years interval can be "up" the day after tomorrow.
Nutcase.
Yup. Trekkies know this. Klingons, Romulans, the Borg, and the Kardashians.
