The most interesting part of the article was the mention of a globally interconnected political system. That would be really bad if it were true, and we respond with a signal back to them.

Well if they are going to eat me I want to be treated Wagyu Kobe style...fatten me up on beer, give me plenty of messages, no physical work...I shall be well marbled!

Holy crap I'm already Wagyu Kobe!!!

Let's hope if they come here they don't go to America as they probably will get shot. If they go to Britain they will be forced into a free house with free medical and dental. If they go to New Zealand they will get dragged into a rugby match. France they will get EU membership...

Ok Won Hung Lo.

Nobody goes to Detroit on purpose. So why would they want to come here?

That signal must be their targeting radar.

To see if it's true about Donald Trump?

so........ now they will have to write another bible to explain that god had an estranged brother... they did not talk for a long time or see each other ... so that's why he never mentioned it..................

They call that the Book of Mormon.

One of the best things that could come from the discovery of intelligent life on another world would be debunking the silly mysticism of religion here on this one. In particular it would be wonderful to see the teachings that humans have some sort of "divine birthright" to rape our planet, do what we wish with it and treat everything on it as a "resource" to be exploited (own personal chattel) completely turned on their heads.

Humanity could benefit from a good dressing-down from a species more intelligent than we are (since we are too stupid to listen to the intellectuals and the bright people from our own species, choosing instead to listen to celebrities, reality TV stars, self-serving lawyers, loud mouthed preachers and greedy entrepreneurs instead of scientists, philosophers and intellectuals).

It could be the best thing that ever happened to us. Who knows - maybe it will happen someday - it would certainly be nice.

^^Agree but you just parfed the thread.

I hope it's these two...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1472554111.jpg

I think they've already landed and infiltrated....this explains unreasonable liberals !

There is essentially an infinite number of planets in just this galaxy. Thousands of planets in any 30 light year radius. Why come 70 light years to destroy a civilization and fight the locals when they has to be thousands of empty planets with infinite resources.

Maybe because they are like us humans?

It's kind of like Darth Vader, they could be on a power trip, and have a death star that destroys whole worlds.

Maybe they'll be those sexy green chicks from Star Trek that Kirk used to shag all the time...

Until it's confirmed, it doesn't exist

California girls? We all wish they could be..

Would it debunk religion, or just part of religion? --one angle on religious story? I mean, do the math on Noah's arc, and what? It doesn't provide for two of each, so throw out all of religion? --c'mon. doesn't happen.

Also, if we have no "divine birthright" to rape our planet then what does it matter if we rape our planet? I mean, nothing matters, because everything is nothing, and nothing is everywhere. But suddenly, we owe some future generations (the ones before an asteroid slams into this planet) ...we owe them what, and why?

Seriously, there are some deep logical flaws in your thinking there. And it's absolutely PATHETIC that you think that Humanity could benefit from a good dressing-down from a species more intelligent than we are --or was that just pop virtue signaling on your part?
