What’s going on? There’s been an escalation of media attention being paid to the fact that we may not be alone. Major news sources, like Reuters and the home page of Yahoo, that were subjects of previous posts, are talking UFOs and crop circles, and Google and Bing recently have used crop circle images as their pictures of the day.

The Reuters piece was about what’s going to happen at a press conference today, when testimony will be given about UFOs shutting down nuclear capacity at weapons sites. On Saturday, there was a story about this on the Front Page of AOL News: “Former Air Force Officers: UFOs Tampered With Nuclear Missiles” 

This story, from the Telegraph, an English paper, is a new startler:

A space ambassador could be appointed by the United Nations to act as the first point of contact for aliens trying to communicate with Earth.

Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, is set to be tasked with co-ordinating humanity’s response if and when extraterrestrials make contact.

Aliens who landed on earth and asked: “Take me to your leader” would be directed to Mrs Othman.

She will set out the details of her proposed new role at a Royal Society conference in Buckinghamshire next week.

The 58-year-old is expected to tell delegates that the proposal has been prompted by the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting other starts, which is thought to make the discovery of extraterrestrial life more probable than ever before.

Mrs Othman is currently head of the UN’s little known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa).

In a recent talk to fellow scientists, she said: “The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that some day human kind will received signals from extraterrestrials.

“When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.”
