Who would you pick for a first contact scenario ?

signalfire
mock up a hologram of Carl Sagan and send him along, equipped with a full collection of recording and transmission equipment.

I vote for data-collecting hologram Carl Sagan!

Stanton Friedman, of course!

The producers of MTV. Because then we could show the aliens how we have evolved into the all knowing singing dancing rabid trash of the solar system.

Jeremy Clarkson, just in case first contact involves eating our representatives.

William Shatner because, let's face it, no one on earth has more experience of role playing first contact situations than he does.

George Galloway for my serious answer.

There isn't anyone I can think of I'd like to represent us. So I suppose anyone would do. Personally I hope they keep us all quarantined until we either kill each other off or evolve.

I pick...ME.
Why not? I'm as deserving as anyone else. I'll ask intelligent questions and I have a friendly non threatening face. You'll have to trust me.

My ideal welcoming comity would consist of the UN General Committee, Moshe Kai Cavalin, a random 4th grade class, Angelina Jolie, Neil Tyson, George Takai, Jessie Ventura, and myself.

If I could only choose one person it would be Moshe Kai Cavalin.

Because hes a complete lunatic!, but hes a approachable nice bloak, he may be a bit odd, but I was impressed how he acted at the 2012 paralympics, he didnt pity anyone, he was respectful, he asked people what their condition was and how that affected them. I know a few people who know him, and they say, what you see is what you get. I know he's not the sharpest tool in the box, but I think hes alright!
Cheers for the reply.
All the best

Ok


Another slant on it.


You have to pick an ATS member not yourself nor Phage nor Slayer hehehehe.

OK so other than myself I nominate The GUT , he's sharp as a knife and I'm sure would ask all the right questions

I`d b´pick that blonde Pleiadian...

oh...you meant who would we pick on the human side of things...

well...if its that blonde Pleiadian (I still can't spell her name correctly), then the obvious pick for a meet-up would be me, right?

Honestly,

George W Bush.....




joking....

I believe there is no one person who is worthy of this. If they are truly ET's then im sure they will have no problem using telepathy to understand anything they want from any terrestrial inhabitant!

They would not need an intermediary between them and humankind.

i'd pick a tesla hologram to greet them.

We should pick Patrick Stewart and dress him up like a borg.... the aliens have been freaking us out with UFOs abductions and sightings... we should freak them back out.

Or Signourney Weaver and have a cat come out of her chest half way through..

Or we just put up videos of dolphins and claim they are the intelligent race.

Alive - Lawrence Krauss or Neil Degrass
Dead - Carl Sagan (he is my homeboy!)

Surely has to be Jodie Foster.

I asked this to Stan a mo ago and someone said to make a thread.

So who would you pick, for example we get a message on all TV's etc saying pick a few people and meet us here.
I would pick Neil deGrasse Tyson because he appears to be a sane guy and may understand more of what the ET people may say.
So any better ideas?
Short I know but sweet

.

What makes you believe that first contact has not yet been made?

Rather presuming of you to make such a statement?

Alex Grey!
