Obviously, no government on earth would let regular folks have any say about it. That's a real bummer, imo. Plus you'd have some people in gov't saying one thing about "them" and others saying something else completely; some calling for a fast-track to citizenship, some yelling about borders or whatever, some would be, like, liberally welcoming, some would be fascist. There'd be these science-based arguments with virtually no data to argue with.

After the experience of the last couple of years, for the first time in my life I'm hoping this "invasion" doesn't happen too soon. ;)
 
Yes, after having lived through the last almost 3 years, I'd hesitate to predict what anyone would or could do.

Someone on another forum recommended this book. I see that it's available as a Kindle ebook. I'm going to get it. I've already started listening to their podcast, The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe. Pretty good.

Nothing since me being the representative for extraterrestrial contact isn't going to happen I'd just log on the SF to see how you all are reacting.
 
I can tell you one thing I wouldn't do, is take an organ connected to light to them.:LOL:

In all seriousness though I would be keeping a close eye on the world's governments, as there really isn't anything else you could do.
 
Am not part of the "We" that might do whatever. Would not change my life, plans, or religious ideas. Doubt any intelligent aliens will be contacting us in near decades while I still am alive. An advanced organic or non-organic race likely won't contaminate a nascent intelligent species on evolving worlds. Star Tek writers were absolutely correct on that point. Earth may well be a zoo of a race of UIE's.

What science is likely to find soon is that primitive life exists elsewhere in our solar system. When that happens they will also change their tune and admit primitive life is also likely abundant throughout our galaxy and others and that life did not begin here as some goo here on Earth but was brought here via panspermia. Evidence is already overwhelming while leading scientists are simply afraid to admit how wrong they've been.

Sagan's Paradox suggests we are safe:

[Carl] Sagan's contribution to the 1969 AAAS symposium was an attack on the belief that UFOs are piloted by extraterrestrial beings. Applying several logical assumptions, Sagan calculated the possible number of advanced civilizations capable of interstellar travel to be about one million. He projected that any civilization wishing to check on all the others on a regular basis of, say, once a year would have to launch 10,000 spacecraft annually. Not only does that seem like an unreasonable number of launchings, but it would take all the material in one percent of the universe's stars to produce all the spaceships needed for all the civilizations to seek each other out.

To argue that the Earth was being chosen for regular visitations, Sagan said, one would have to assume that the planet is somehow unique, and that assumption "goes exactly against the idea that there are lots of civilizations around. Because if there are then our sort of civilization must be pretty common. And if we're not pretty common then there aren't going to be many civilizations advanced enough to send visitors".

This argument, which some called Sagan's paradox, helped to establish a new school of thought, namely the belief that extraterrestrial life exists, but it has nothing to do with UFOs. The new belief had a salutary effect on UFO studies. It helped separate researchers who wanted to distinguish UFOs from those who wanted to identify their pilots and it gave scientists opportunities to search the universe for intelligent life unencumbered by the stigma associated with UFOs.

If such an event happens I would hope the aliens would have pointed ears, be extremally logical and allow humans to process such an event for awhile before making any drastic moves and treat us like children for around 50 years before allowing us to play with their shiny new technology.

Contact with intelligent alien life would likely have a dramatic impact on religious views. This could well be a great advance for humans because more wars are started over religious conceptions, and more people are killed over those ideas than any other reason.

Fundamentalist Muslims not only wish to live in the barbaric 7th century, they also are actively trying to make the entire world Muslim. Anything that might wake them up to reality would be a good thing.

Personally, I view the threat from fundamentalist Muslims far, far greater for us than communism.
