Who would you want as "Earths First Contact".

Bob Ross...what a total star!!!

Me and the kids still watch him when he's on in the morning, fascinating to wtach, a pleasure to listen to.

He would be a quality choice if it were down to mellow character.

The grays would be lucky enough to be greeted by the only white dude on earth with an afro, and any unplanned intergalactic wars would be explained away as a "happy accident".

Perfect choice.

Bruce Lee is dead.

Hence, Chuck Norris.

Bruce Lee is indestructable, some would say, immortal....hence Bruce Lee.

Chuck Norris had a hairy back too....that could let him down on two fronts! An accident waiting to happen in my opinion.

Would be better off sending in Chewie.

they would be unbiased by politics and any mainline religious beleifs and also wouldnt be influenced by any media propaganda.

They could also not have a clue what is going on, and the gray could end up on the menu.

Good suggestions though.

why only go for one person to welcome aliens? Why not that standard picture they sent out in the universe, where is shows a man, a women, a boy and a girl. IMO that would be the best way to do it. It is us, not some guy who is they only one to welcome a whole new race. And why no girls? why always men. I think the aliens would be pretty disapointed to see how we pick one person.

but if I should pick a person to welcome them? Then it should be elmo! Everybody loves elmo, right?

Dr Brian Cox would be a good choice, he's got the credentials and he would tell it like it is. Not too sure about Chuck Norris though, with all that hair they may think we've dressed a dwarf bigfoot and presented that to em.

How about Jeremy Kyle?

He would be hilarious when discussing relationships with said E.T.'s:

JK: "How many children have you got?"

ET: "waktl itkel djdjd (translates in english to "I have 5 children")"

JK: "What?!?... Your a disgrace... Why didn't you go and put something on the end of it?!?!"

ET: "HAAJAM KLILIL YOPPP (translates in english to "Your going to pay for that sucker")"

Cue ET death ray...

mmm..hate to pop the bubble but

UN denies alien ambassador plan

Posted 9 hours 17 minutes ago

The United Nations has dismissed media reports that it is planning to appoint an ambassador to be the first point of contact with aliens.

Britain's Sunday Times had reported that a UN official had been given the task of co-ordinating humanity's response if extraterrestrials make contact.

However, the official in question, Malaysian astrophysicist Mazlan Othman, says that while she likes the idea of being an alien ambassador, the job does not exist.

If it were up to me I wouldnt have one person..I'd have a group derived from all 'types' of humans. Not just racial groups either but fields of study and lifestyle too...if they have come to meet humans not just extract data..then we need to represent that 'humanness' honestly and be who we are not what we would like them to think we are.
I know I wouldnt want some twang from the political wing speaking for me...nor someone of pure science or religion. So I'm all for 'every day people' being part of the group.
All I know for sure is that I want to be in it!


oh....unless of course they're of the 'need space for a freeway' and are preapred to eat us mob..then send B1 and B2....Benedict and Bush.

Even more reason to appoint our own.

Thanks for that link, they've probably realised that as ET's have been visiting us for years anyway, there's no reason for a new ambassador.

The Governor of the state of Arizona, what's her name? Jan Brewer, I think?

She seems eager to handle alien problems.

btw.. havent we already had our first contact?

if we went to another planet to meet and greet, wouldnt we send some prestigious people? and they seem to keep secrets.. from us... so when they get there, they will meet with who they feel is elite over there.. they dont like middle class humans, why would they like middle class aliens. so ... who would ever find out? it would be about business, and well we havent been hired... so we will never know, for centuries.

I would have to say that idealy speaking , we would want more than a small group. You see , theres no small group who could provide a proper representation for all the peoples of Earth. It would , for instance, be ridiculous to send only people from the intelligence services, because they are not representative of people with souls , hearts, and minds of thier own.
Similarly it would be insane to send the Dalai Lama and no one else, because there are total scumbags in the world, and only sending the most straight up lovely chap on the planet would give totaly the wrong impression.
I think each societal subset of this planet would need to be represented. Right from the poor, the sick, the needy , right up to the obscenely wealthy and royal households of those nations still running a monarchy .
There ought to be persons of various degrees of education, right from those with no information whatsoever, to those who have uncounted terabytes of information on everything from chicken farming to astrophysics.
What I am saying is , that the only way to accurately represent our planet and the people who live on it, is for everyone to meet them at once.

Whoever fits the electromagnetic arua out puts that signal -humility-empathy-compassion-chivalry-LOVE and many other S.T.O QUALITIES...

An excellent point.

Maybe it's best for there to be no contact, just let them carry on studying us, the same way we study the universe.

Well thats one way of doing it, but I would prefer a method which saw a totaly undeniable and widespread landing, preceeded by a warning, an announcement of thier arrival. I do not believe that mere study can ever be as significant as communication, as any anthropologist will attest. For instance, those who study the ancient south american tribes would say that they can learn more about the every day existance of those groups by studying un modernised peoples from the amazon basin, than they can from educated guesses,made my people who are observing artifacts which can be taken out of context and misread.
Im all for first contact, but it needs to be in a format which cannot be denied or misinterpreted. The only way to do that , is to do it en masse.
