World governments should prepare a co-ordinated action plan in case Earth is contacted by aliens, according to scientists.
Scientists argue that a branch of the UN must be given responsibility for "supra-Earth affairs" and formulate a plan for how to deal with extraterrestrials, should they appear.
The comments are part of an extraterrestrial-themed edition of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A published today. In it, scientists examine all aspects of the search for extraterrestrial life, from astronomy and biology to the political and religious fallout that would result from alien contact.
According to Simon Conway Morris, a professor of evolutionary palaeobiology at Cambridge University, anyone planning for alien contact should prepare for the worst.
"Why should we 'prepare for the worst'? First, if intelligent aliens exist, they will look just like us, and given our far from glorious history, this should give us pause for thought," wrote Morris in the journal's special issue.
"It sounds really cool but I have to deny it,"

This IS getting really creepy now. Nations starting to disclose UFO related Files. At least 6 Hollywood Movies that deal with Aliens and UFO´s coming out this Year. A Documentation about Area 51. Increase in UFO sightings. Strange things going on with our Planet and now Scientists and the UN get more Mainstream with the Idea of dealing with E.T... and all this just in the last few Weeks (probably forgot some Signs happening lately)
They know something is coming is my guess...

seriously just check out the night skies for 10 minutes. they look just like stars at first glance but if you keep an eye on them for more than a second youll realize the light starts pulsing and changing colors a bit. then youll realize that they actually wiggle around in the sky and will literally jump around in different directions. theyre flying all over the place. i can't wait to meet them!
