Yep, I am in a bit of a shock at the moment, for 3 reasons.
1. To even spew by accident anything at all to the public that anyone in government is actually considering aliens being among us, is both dangerous and extremely alarming. This would not happen under any circumstances unless they are intending some type of disclosure in the near future and in a big way. Totally skipping all the disclosure understandings for the people of the world, moving us to the ultimate in fear in one fail swoop. Now whether it is accurate or a staged perception that we will be forced (one way or another) to believe in, is another question that will never be answered. hehe

"Disclosure" is not something I'm looking forward to!
(Disclosure will be only what they want us to believe,for their own reasons.)
No, you're still not understanding my original point. Again, you guys are acting like these scientists know about a certain race walking amongst us as we speak. All they are doing, is theorizing about life outside of our own planet. Of course they're going to postulate different ways that these beings could exist, and the reason for that, is to figure out if we need to actually be gaining their(ET) attention. The reason for that, is analogous to how humans behave, and this is known to most, that humans are still very hostile and territorial towards each other.

Sorry but your wrong, taken from the royal society website, this is as close to the truth as you will get to what they will dicuss
ideas of what form an alien intelligence might take, how it might try to communicate with us, and how we should respond if we ever do make contact.
talk to microbes shell we like total psychooaths, sorry, this is the real deal ,whether you like it or not, not microbes, real walking talking aliens, (thats if they can talk ofc, might not have mouths)
Yeah, but at the same time, there is no conspiracy. You can view/listen to the conference for free, and they have already told us what some of the points of conversation will include. If it was some "hush hush" meeting, I could understand the heir of mystery/conspiracy, but this is blatantly obvious.

Well I think that when representatives from Nasa, the European Space Agency and the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs and Lord Rees (President of the Royal Society and Astronomer Royal) get together to discuss various things including"how human beings might respond to the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence", I think it is inevitable that there would be this kind of talk considering this a conspiracy theory based website.

As the article says, the conference will be focused around the presence of "extraterrestrial life on Earth". It's not about SETI or the search of foreign organism elsewhere in the Galaxy.
What is your point exactly? It's like you haven't even read the article[s] correctly, and then you act like this wasn't my point to begin with! The scientist are THEORIZING on alternative means to look for Extraterrestrial life. They HAVEN'T' proven that there are ET-microbial life on this planet, let alone, any planet, and AGAIN, are theorizing that it may be smarter to look towards other avenues, instead of using radio telescope data(SETI).
While the Times mostly refers to issues of micro-organisms of extraterrestrial origins having developed on Earth, feeding from alternative resources, it doesn't say anywhere that other themes will not be talked about. But even a recognition that there ARE primitive alien life forms that existed on this planet and have gone under the radar for all this time is already a groundbreaking statement.
Please don't go trigger happy on UFO disclosure debunking.
