The notion of appointing a spokesperson to greet E.T.s in ridiculous.

This is the big issue with "believers"...and it puts them in the very same boat as the most rabid fundamentalist religious person...you demand that since something cannot be disproven, then it should be seen as true.

The UN certainly has a high opinion of itself. Why would anyone pay attention to this good-for-nothing organization? The UN has no authority. I have a feeling if the aliens did land this woman would be standing alone on the White House lawn with her hand out while the aliens were landing in Wyoming. Remember the scene in Close Encounters. It was very brief, but when the ship had landed and the door started to open, several man in business suits were rushed out of the VIP room putting on their jackets to "greet" the aliens---who paid absolutely no attenion to them and welcomed Richard Dreyfuss aboard instead.

Here's a quote from the story (by Heidi Blake) that i found a little curious..
“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.”
Did anyone notice it?
When talking about receiving communications from ET's, she didn't say "IF we do.." she said "WHEN we do"
She seems pretty sure there IS going to be some kind of communication...
IF i read a newspaper with any regularity, it would be The Daily Telegraph.

They're a fact when they happen to you. You see, I don't need a committee to validate what I already know

I've agreed with pretty much everything you've contributed to this thread thus far and have really enjoyed your points and arguments - but this comment I have to disagree with. You are generalising by lumping all "believers" into the same boat. Of course, you have a point, and many believers can become fervent and rabid in much the same vein as religious fundamentalists.
But for those of us who have experienced, real, profound, intense, beautiful encounters - who have our own personal proof without the need for anything else - to label us as such, indeed to tar us with the same brush and therefore discount our experiences, does us a big disservice.
