A space ambassador could be appointed by the United Nations to act as the first point of contact for aliens trying to communicate with Earth.
Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, is set to be tasked with co-ordinating humanity’s response if and when extraterrestrials make contact.
Aliens who landed on earth and asked: “Take me to your leader” would be directed to Mrs Othman. She will set out the details of her proposed new role at a Royal Society conference in Buckinghamshire next week.
The 58-year-old is expected to tell delegates that the proposal has been prompted by the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting other starts, which is thought to make the discovery of extraterrestrial life more probable than ever before.
Mrs Othman is currently head of the UN’s little known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa

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.”
Opinion is divided about how future extraterrestrial visitors should be greeted. Under the Outer Space Treaty on 1967, which Unoosa oversees, UN members agreed to protect Earth against contamination by alien species by “sterilising” them.
Mrs Othman is understood to support a more tolerant approach.
LOL! PC Tolerance will be granted to Space Aliens!

I’ll go for it if the UN is the first building to “go.”

Look at the bright side—this is the person who gets killed or has their mind taken over in the first scene or two in most science fiction movies.
To: TaraP
Like I said before — the U.S. Air Force can do all the talking on our behalf. No foreigner speaks for America — especially not that freak.

Why would any E.T contact Earth? The fact that the wing Nut, Ass hat, leftist liberals are in control of the US government proves that there is no longer intelligent life on earth.

There's on way to conceive of what such a “civilization” would be like. All we can conjecture is that it would have nothing in common with ours — and no reason to treat us as anything other than a plentiful source of protein.

Especially irrelevant, considering that everyone knows when the aliens arrive, they will be asking for Ted Nugent.

Okay. got it...
When aliens start probing me or whatever, I’ll just say “That’s not part of my job description” and refer them to the Malaysian lady at the UN.
To: TaraP
“Take me to your leader”
Anyone remember an old rock and roll song from the 1950s about a short alien who comes to earth, sees a tall good looking woman and says...
“Take me to your ladder,
I’ll see your leader later...”
