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

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.”

“Your ignorance is showing again.”

hahaha...I knew you would be the first.
No, it is not my ignorance.
It is my inexperience in having ET sit down with me for a chat.
I hope that one day you will tell us what it is like to
know the visitors from other worlds, and where they come from.

The shadow government:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2475963/posts?page=60#60

has been in cahoots with the critters toward setting up an evil global government for at least 6 decades.

Othuga is just their latest most evil stooge, destroyer in chief.

There’s plenty of disinformation and half-truths on the playing field.

It’s far from all Bravo Sierra.

Well, the UN has been dead useless to humanity since inception, and no doubt we'd all like to think that it had to be good for something. Talking to aliens is about as credible as anything else in this regard.

Just something to consider: The people who think this is a neat idea are the same ones who are laughing at Christine O'Donnell.

That’s one example of your ignorance.

I avoid them like the plague.

I’ve just studied them for ~45 years.

. . . had a relative work within sight of the craft . . .

etc. etc.

Your obsessive addiction to a TYPE II ERROR as though it were ice cream instead of just as deadly as a TYPE I ERROR is likely to prove troublesome to you, if not enormously costly in the not too distant future.

“Talking to aliens is about as credible as anything else in this regard.”

The one program that I follow is SETI..Searching for radio signals from other worlds.
The concept originated in the late 50s, as it was the most probable time to receive ET signals from the closest star,
11 light years away.
The program has found nothing and is way underfunded.
It is, however, still the best way to detect ET existence, even though it would be highly unlikely that they could ever get here, even at the speed of light.

Well, I suppose if they're doing this they're spending 'slightly' fewer resources on taking my guns and imposing a one-world Government......

Getting ready for the end times, eh?

Some of us see this as a way of imposing the one world government on us.

What better way of doing that than having to unite humanity against a common threat. The only way someone is going to get so many of these nations (think islam) to put aside their differences and unite is something that would appear to be threatening the whole planet.

I know it sounds crackpot to unbelievers but when God takes His church out of the world before the end times, there's got to be some explanation offered for the disappearance of millions and this would be the perfect one.

The ETs will be very impressed that we've appointed a minority woman.

The ET's will need to be told that she's a minority woman. They'd never guess looking at the world demographics.

Nobody in this country is going to let a foreigner speak on America's behalf. Especially if the foreigner is a Muslim.

Where've you been the last two years?

They need to find DR. RALPH KENNEDY and appoint him as the Extra-terrestrial expert.

WHEN THEY COME FROM SPACE-
“Beware the starmen bearing gifts. When they came from space they were not at all what some people expected them to be. No little green men, bug-eyed monsters, eight-tentacled slugs.. Nothing of the sort: they were tall, well-built, physically more attractive than any Hollywood film star. Earth succumbed. Why was it then that Ralph Kennedy, the man in charge of the Extraterrestrial Life Department felt an urgent sense of danger?”

Maybe they’d try and conjure up a magic carpet that would carry them there so they could do a thorough beheading?

Perhaps 0bama will make NASA provide them transport.

In the name of diversity.

UNIT — wasn’t that formed in the 40s around a doctor and some sort of box? I saw some grainy B&W film about this somewhere...
