It’s a simple question: What if Direct First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization occurred today? Here are some possible reactions:
-A Scramble to Respond:
We’re not prepared for First Contact of any sort. Direct First Contact would raise immediate concerns and needs. Who should be in charge of the diplomacy effort? Should there be a military response? How do we want to proceed in the long-term? Is First Contact even something we want to move forward with?
-A Global Political Battle:
After an initial period of shock and awe there would be a fight for position and control by many countries. The type of conflict this creates would depend on the nature of the First Contact scenario. Was First Contact made to one particular government? How will other countries be engaged in the process? Who will control First Contact diplomacy?
-The U.N. Under Fire:
One would imagine that the United Nations would seek to establish itself as the primary diplomatic agency for First Contact. This would inevitably lead to a political battle, especially in the United States and other countries where United Nations power has been hotly disputed.
-Scientists versus Politicians:
Scientists, at least a small community of scientists, have considered First Contact much more than politicians. And yet in the wake of First Contact science will need to take a back seat to diplomacy. This tension would likely lead to conflict between scientists and governments.
-Economic Swings:
The world economy experiences hiccups weekly, if not daily. If the Spanish financial rating can cause the markets to lurch, one could imagine what First Contact might do. After the initial period of confusion investors will realize that there could be great opportunity in First Contact. The search for those opportunities could lead to wild market swings as the trading community considers the possibilities and the potential dangers.
-A Calm Public:
Most surveys conducted in regards to human response to extraterrestrial First Contact show that people would most likely remain calm and level-headed during a First Contact event. After the initial shock and awe period, though, splinter groups will begin to form and those groups could have much stronger reactions than the general public.
-A Crazed Media:
If the O-J Simpson case can provoke a media frenzy one could only imagine the nuttiness produced by a First Contact event. With any luck the media would go into a protector mode, much as the American media did during 9-11. That mode puts a responsible weight on the shoulders of journalists. There was very little hype during 9-11 coverage. In situations of an extreme nature the media tends to act as protectors and not instigators.
-Bad Information and Rumors:
After the shock and awe period it seems likely that rumors and bad information would start to come to the surface. At this point the media could leave protector mode and begin to chase the rumors. This could be a dangerous period for human reaction.
-A Debate over Reaction:
In the weeks after First Contact a fierce debate will well-up over the response. This may include two opposite poles: those who want robust contact with aliens and those who want the aliens to leave us alone. In the middle will be a world public grappling with the long-term questions of diplomacy.
Are we ready? Of course not. Will it matter? Probably not. There may not be any aliens out there at all, and if there are, they are probably far, far away. Still, these questions are worth asking, especially if you consider the incredible impact a First Contact event would have on our human civilization.

  • bring it

  • Always keep at the front of your mind:
    in the past whenever a more “civilized” culture approaches a more “primitive” culture-
    who is it left standing ?

    Should Other world peoples arrive – we need to remember that saying
    “when in Rome, be a Roman”
    aggression gets no one anywhere

    assimilate – and be the pupil
    think of Joseph/Yuya who used his intellect
    It was his brothers who used their brawn, and where did THAT get them?

  • I submit there has already been contact made by governments of the world,ill bet there are many races of beings in the universe,just like us and just like us there adre good and bad ones,i believe our own history is being hidden from us on purpose,i read about this so called galactic federation i cant decide if i believe it or not,but ill bet our real history is so facinating it would take time for us to believe it,probly be awsome if the real truth was known,someday it will be i truly believe that,the dark cabal that has been and is running this world is at a crossroads,its up to each individual to learn all you can,prepare for the future,protect your family,either all knowledge will be shared by ALL peoples or none will be known by any,the masses have been kept in the dark for thousands of years,there will be a time when the forces of the light will prevail,although its going to be a rough ride to get there,

  • settie has been their for 30 years, there’s been no contact, because the ufo’s we see are ours, see lezlow111,youtube, title our ufo’s

    What if the ET does not wish to have a first contact with the elite who is allowing the earth to be a deforested sewage pond ready to be at war over something they have no idea may prompt such a visit and or the motive of such visits. Has it ever occurred all the global human peeping-tom technology may be indicative of ET”s might be aware they are subjects to seizure of their technology? Maybe this is why the poor and those who are not given access to be informed and or technologically educated where left standing in the past too?

  • It’s weird how everyone automatically assumes that ETs, having managed to get here from wherever they come from, would be primarily interested in homo sapiens, or homo imbecilis as I prefer to call him. Any ET worth its salt would be far more interested in dolphins, or maybe even cows or birds. They do no-one any harm, and look after their young properly, so would be far better candidates for genetic modification than hs, who is a psychopathic, nasty, brutish, satanic subspecies hell bent on destroying everyone and everything he touches. Given that ETs would be so advanced, they would see liittle developmental difference between us and the animal kingdom. We to them would be no more remarkable than termites. It would be such a shock to human pride to have these things walking around the planet and completely ignoring all of our celebrated egotistical scumbags like Obama and Clinton in favour of more worthwhile subjects. Just imagine them getting back on board their flying saucers and leaving without having made a single contact with humans! Delicious!
    Having said that, I should inform you that ET does not exist. Life was created on the earth, it did not develop out of rocks or mud. No way. Anyone having even a rudimentary understanding of how biological systems transmit something intangible called information, knows that only another Intelligence could be responsible for our presence here on earth.
    But you don’t want to hear the truth, do you?
    However, if you do, then visit The Other Bible Code website, where you will meet an extraterrestrial intelligence called YHVH, who both inspired the writing of a message called the Bible, and also created us all. And who is coming back very soon. Pencil “3rd October 2016″ into your diary.
