My respect and appreciation for the United Nations knows no bounds. In their great foresight and wisdom, they have created a post that has long been needed. Oh wait, that’s right, this is freaking crazy!!…lol
Some excerpts (Italicized):
In news that's part wacky and part surprising, the United Nations will be appointing, early next week, Earth's official first contact (i.e., an ambassador) for aliens from outer space. (You couldn't make this stuff up. Well, you could ... but why bother?)
The U.N. has chosen a Malaysian astrophysicist by the name of Dr. Mazlan Othman, who happens to be the head of its Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) in Vienna, "to act as Earth's first contact for any aliens that may come visiting."
Apparently, Dr. Othman:
" ... is scheduled next week to tell delegates at a scientific conference at the Royal Society's Kavli conference center in Buckinghamshire "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'."
Do you know how this will affect the future writing of all the alien movies in the future?..lol… Of all the things the U.N. could be spending their time / money on…
