Introduction: The Great Alien Arrival
The idea of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth is no longer the stuff of science fiction but a topic of growing interest in many circles. As these beings approach, what might they be looking for? How should we, as a global community, prepare for and welcome them?
Historical Precedents and Ethical Considerations
Historical analogies offer us valuable insights. For example, Africans could teach us about welcoming the British, while the Aborigines of Australia and Native Americans could provide lessons from their encounters with European invaders. However, it is worth considering a more dignified and respectful approach. Imagine welcoming them with open hearts and minds, rather than the crude and unsettling gestures from some of history’s conflicts.
Education and Public Awareness
Since 1950, there have been individuals acting as contactees, tasked with educating humanity about extraterrestrial beings. Daniel Fry, a rocket engineer at White Sands Proving Grounds, is one of the first to go public regarding his experiences. His account can be found in "The White Sands Incident." George Adamski, who made his first contact in November 1952, provides another perspective in his book "Flying Saucers Have Landed." Other notable contactees include individuals like Miriam Delicado, Giorgio Dibitonto, Dino Kraspedon, and Howard Menger.
These contactees tell us that the visitors are physically comprised of matter at a much higher level than what we can observe. They must lower themselves to our level to be seen, and they come from planets relatively close to ours. This information has been known for decades by those in power, suggesting that the arrival of extraterrestrials is not a new concept but a long-expected one.
Scientific and Intellectual Preparations
Let's reevaluate our assumptions and consider a more rational approach. Movies like "Star Wars" and "Independence Day" have colored many of our ideas about alien behavior. These films present the idea that aliens will invade, but this notion is more aligned with science fiction than reality. The main theory is that aliens will communicate and explore in a measured and intelligent manner, rather than by force.
They would likely gather intelligence from our media, particularly television and the internet, to understand our culture, language, and intricacies. They might discover humorous or bizarre aspects of human life through reruns of shows like "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Gilligan's Island." Understanding our anatomy will allow them to avoid intrusive physical examinations. However, they might also have more leisurely pursuits, such as engaging in covert human-to-alien sexual encounters.
Given the potential for mass panic and conflicts with armed nations, the aliens would be cautious, moving towards planets that appear to be stable and peaceful. They would be more likely to approach scientists and technicians, not farmers. This would allow them to transfer advanced technologies back to Earth.
Animal mutilations could be explained by the aliens misunderstanding human preferences for certain types of meat, mistakenly cutting the anal areas of cattle. Earthlings who receive this alien technology would create companies and gain global power, providing a safer and quieter transition for the aliens to integrate into human society, possibly in warm climates like California.
Conclusion: A Welcoming and Peaceful Welcome
Preparing for the arrival of extraterrestrial visitors should include intellectual and ethical readiness. By learning from history and properly educating our global community, we can create a welcoming and respectful environment. Instead of panicked reactions, we should aim for open dialogue and mutual respect. As our first step, let's invite them with dignity and prepare to embrace a new era of cosmic travel and understanding.
