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

Posted on 09/25/2010 8:09:44 PM PDT by Stoat

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.”

“What if the ETs won’t acknowledge her?”

What if the ETs acknowledge and then eat her?

The American military is becoming more PC everyday.
It will soon be under the command of the UN in the new world order.

Good one.

I don’t even know why anyone would ping that poster.

That group is like ardvarks to some topics.

And once the Arkvarks show up you can consider the thread severly high jacked.

Ok...but be wary if they have a book and the title translates into English as "To Serve Man".

It's a cookbook!!!

IIRC, some already are. At least there have been court cases where the military personnel refused to serve under such authority and they lost their cases.

Still determinde to display deplorable ignorance on the topic?

Someone more studied on the topic by far,
who’s personally interviewd more experts on the topic,
who has more personal connections in the field

than evidently any other FREEPER

who affirms such realities as more than fantasies or swamp gass . . .

and who starts a fair percentage of such threads . . .

and I’m the one hijacking such threads?

Talk about loooooooooooooonacy or lunacy!

If you are going to call someone an aardvark, the least you could do is spell it right.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aardvark

And, it’s severely, NOT severly.

Carry on.
