At Cambridge Alien Conference, Scientists Warn Of An Invisible Earth and Hostile ETs

How does Martin Dominik know that no country has a plan for 1st contact? That assumes that the governments he's asked would actually share that info. It also assumes he asked the right person or branch of those governments. I agree with much of the article, but it's naive to think you know what a government's plan is, much less ALL the governments' plans.

Put the UN in charge of formulating the plan for first contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence?

Oh God no! That's a sure fire recipe for disaster.

we better hurry up and make a plan; only five or six centuries left until a hypothetical alien would be able to get here. /sarcasm

with all that's wrong in the world, i don't think that little green men should be high on UN's to-do list.

Lets assume for a mnute that the U.N. takes up the task of making a first contact plan, who's to say that a country will follow that plan when it comes time for contact?

Look at it this way every life form on our planets eats another life form to survive, remember plant life is a life form, why should we think that an alien life form wouldn't do the same. We would make a good stop for food on their way to Krypton. Let's just hope they don't develop a taste for humans. Oh no "To Serve Man," it's a cookbook...

"To Serve Man" is an episode of the television series The Twilight Zone.

The story is based on a short story To Serve Man written by Damon Knight. The title is a play on the word serve having the dual meanings "assist" and "provide as a meal". The episode is one of the few instances in the series wherein the actor breaks the fourth wall and addresses the viewing audience at the episode's end."

what if they are plant or reptile based life forms and if there any thing like us then there here to study learn maybe make a new home for them selves witch that mite be a curse and a blessing because the tech they mite give us but we may not have enough room on earth for them.

I think human nature (or government) is to deal with it after the fact.

With that in mind, I see no problem here.
Planing for this is like planing what you will do with lottery money that you haven't won yet, and have a 1/10000000 chance of winning.

"Morris told the conference that emotions are part of the evolution of intelligent thought, so aliens may likely be as greedy, egocentric, and bellicose as humans. "

This is true but as intelligence increases so does understanding for other cultures and ways of living. The world we live in now is a prime example, in the last decade we have leaped in intelligence. We are constantly learning new things, information is at most of our finger tips 24/7 now. Between television, cell phones, google, wikipedia, radio, ect. we are learning at a faster pace everyday and its only going to increase. With that said the United States, which is more connected on the internet then anyone else, elected as african american president. A country that has struggled with oppression since its beginning is finally starting to understand when they said "all men are created equal." It's only been a decade of this immense flow of information and its only going to push our intelligence further forward, which i believe will bring us closer together. Think about it, people like us that actually think, we barely feel... we put logic behind everything and try to understand all and if we can't then we do whatever we can to try to understand. I believe if there is any alien existence out there superior in intelligence then us they are very peaceful. the only reason we have war from the beginning has been because of resources. Soon we'll have technology that will supply unlimited resources so what is there to fight over? An advanced civilization has no need for us or our planet or our resources. They will always be peaceful and the fact that some of the supposedly most "brilliant" people in the world are thinking like this is quite unsatisfying. -We Will Bring The Future

So did all of the conference attendees wear propellor beanies, or only the speakers?

Who cares.......

The Bible is actually a physics lesson. It tells where the heaven planet is. It is in an exact geosynchronous orbit opposite to earth. Same orbital path. The reason why scientists never found it? They never put a satellite around Mars or Venus to look outward from the planet, they only investigated the planets them self. I know for a fact it is there.

Josh, I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

As long as the aliens like our TV shows I think we are safe, but now I think reality TV has doomed us all to extermination.

Some people can be very unlogical and blind.

Albert Enistien "The logical person thinks from both sides"

This means that you can never say something isnt true, you always have to have a open mind. If you have a open mind then your open to ideas.

Latly people have been figuring this out, but some people still insist that their are no such things as aliens... People, their are 100bilion stars just like ours in just our galaxy. Their are 500billion other galaxies..... If you do the math, you get about 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 other stars just like our sun... Now thier could be say 3 planets around one star that could be like ours. Theirs just so many possibilities that its unthinkable to even sugest if we're alone. Dont be so aragont.

Now this was about if aliens will come to us in the future, but whos to say they already havent. Some people say that aliens are real but they havnt visited earth yet. Your getting smarter, but your not their yet. Earth has been around for some millions of years. Their are millions of ET civilizations. At least 1 group was bound to land here. Maybe in young human life ET's came down and people were like "who are they" "their the Gods!". Maybe ET's acted as gods and taught us how to build and how to start off a human civilization.

Since their more advanced, their smarter and know much more about life. Aliens have already visited and their going to come back again, soon. Every living thing in the universe needs to be one and its about eraths time to join that group. Our government knows it and so do others, but if we join that group then we dont have much power anyone and everyone knows that governments LOVE power.

But in time they will see that power isnt needed to live a fulfilling life.

There are several things in this story I could comment on but the most glaring, is expecting the U.N. to do something. That's the worst that could happen. They can't even handle the things they're mandated to handle now, here on earth. Could you imagine all those blue helments, running around an alien space craft, bumping into each other trying to figure out what to. At least we know they wouldn't try to go to war with them. They can't even bring it upon themselves to control dictators on earth now.

If you check at the Popular Mechanics, site, you'll find the Feb. 2004 cover story, "When UFOs Arrive". While I can't say that Jim Wilson is a famous international authority on US alien-landing preparedness, he does seem to suggest that the US has at least a tentative first-contact plan. It's really more like a hodgepodge of procedures borrowed from nuclear and biological disaster cleanup. Might be something fun to read in relation to this story.

There are indeed other intelligent beings out there, but the probability of earthlings making contact with them is nil, given the very vast distances between earth-like planets and further reduced by earthling's uncertain future. It may take centuries before we can be sure that there are no other planets like earth in our corner of the galaxy (that would be unfortunate), or we can find one or two "possible" earths that are unreachable even in a thousand year journey, which makes it even more frustrating and depressing. I say we abandon our SETI projects and concentrate on colonizing Mars and beyond, and discovering ways on how to make man immortal.

le tamer you forgot about black matter which grows really fast and probably there are big bangs over there too that produce dust which then forms into stars so there are infinite stars

What is 'out there'? Perhaps aliens including those that visited several Air Force Bases in the past are from another dimension instead of being from the stars. I still have a hard time dealing with 'faster than light' travel that, at least in the case of we humans, would be required for interstellar travel. More plausible that other life forms may not have to travel through space much at all, but rather could enter our reality from their own plane which not at distance but just cannot be sensed by us.

Mainstream science's ability to ignore the testimony of thousands of people who report, take pictures of, and video record UFOs is almost laughable in light of the above convergence of brainiacs. But go ahead...throw out all sightings by every segment of the population – EXCEPT pilots. What remains are , for the most part, veteran professionals who know and recognize what’s in our skies around the world – with the exception of other flying craft they spot that dwarf their planes, perform impossible right-angled maneuvers, and other bizarre, unexplainable aerial behaviors. What to do with those reports? The answer ? Ignore them. Why? They can’t possibly be true. Now THAT’S good scientific thinking.
