I just hope we're getting ambitious enough that some of our neighbors in the universe decide that we're important/interesting enough to introduce themselves.

May 2008, Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory
states that the existence of extra terrestrial life "doesn't contradict our faith"
in an article for the Vatican paper titled "The extraterrestrial is my brother"

May 2008, British Government declassifies much of three decades of UFO research:
UFO files from The National Archives

(In the last few years Belgium and Mexico have also declassified their government's UFO research programs.)

I come across speculation that world governments are preparing us for an inevitable contact, or the disclosure of such a contact in the near future.

Ever so often the masses get hot for aliens, then the fervor dies down for a decade. I'm not holding my breath.

However, I've long felt that a publicly disclosed "contact" would be good for humanity. Suddenly we'd realize we are all on this rock together, and we're all more similar than we are different.

Then again, some Christians will claim it is the apocalypse (they must be demons). Some will claim the aliens are the second coming. Some Muslims will say the aliens represent the Hidden Imam. The Scientologists will believe it is the return of Xenu...

Who has seen the movie Contact?

I still think messing around with basic reality fabric singularities inside of our 1 and only biosphere is a really really bad thing. Because, if it fucks up, theres no where to go.

out track record with this sort of shit is not real great. If they succeed, and if its controllable, well, we have a handy new weapons system...just what we need. If it fails....

I am usually pro-science, but this is just stupid.
