Who would you want as "Earths First Contact".

reply to post by Maybe...maybe not


Okay this was priceless..........not part of a serious discussion, but made my day.

Yes Taysin, I would add you to go along with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Michio Kaku.

I would nominate our very own Beamish he could give them the third degree LOL

We should not have only one person or a select group.
The aliens should come down in masses and meet our masses. Thousands of one on one conversations, with all types of people.

You are never going to get the full spectrum of humans represented by one person, or a select group.
And being on a conspiracy site, mass contact would not be easy to swep under the rug.

For the lulz.

you mean Boris Johnson, Mayor of London?
LOL I'd vote for that man in this poll too

Interesting,

I would say "not me" because they have sent the Soul within me here to "OBSERVE YOU" and I would have to tell them how this Human Race is.

I know they say there is more good then bad here and they are correct BUT I would tell them until you (Humans) were ready or able to accept them and you finally learned and understood what your Human life really is that they would need to control you sternly but peacefully until they could teach/show you the real truth's you have been denied.

I would say if I had the choice I would choose Zorgon, I have a lot of respect for him and he would tell you as it is.

Something really isn't making sense to me here.....Why is it in our power to decide who meets extraterrestrials first? Does this person get flown on a Concorde to the touchdown site? Have we already communicated mathematically with another civilization, and are ready to move on to introductions? The UN wouldn't waste their time on a topic dealing publicly with E.T.s unless it was important, or warranted.

It seems to me that the U.N. is on step three of a process of communication with E.T.s, and the majority of people aren't asking tough enough questions. The idea of appointing one person to speak for humanity isn't justifiable unless we already had some element of control in regards to the process.

It's cool and all trying to figure out the who and how of a supposed person on earth to be first contact, but how would you let the ET's know about this person? I'm pretty sure that if they did arrive, that they are not going to be on the lookout for our "annointed one", they will most probably just communicate with us on mass scale communications, like radio and TV.

But lets say for example you were picked as the voice of Earth, what is the number one question you would ask them?

If it was televised I'd choose either of the following :

1, The Pope, I'd like to see him communicate with them about us all being Gods creatures and I'd also like to see his face when they say " HAHAHAHAA PHEW, that was funny Mr Pope, but seriously technically that would be us, all that stuff in your bible about angels from heaven.... we'll that was us. Sorry to disappoint"

2, Ali G, I'd love to see what questions he has for them.

3, Simon Cowell, "Worst alien entrance ever, shocking, if you want to make it anywhere in this business I suggest you go away and come back when you can perform like proper aliens, waste of my time and frankly I don't appreciate it, It's a NO from me."

4, Elliot from E.T. " Remember me? Yeah you owe me a speak and spell"

5, Stephen Hawking. On a serious note, he'd make us all seem clever and would probably suggest the best course of action.

6, A council representing us with top candidates from all that we are proud of, the arts, sciences, engineering, philosophy etc

Either way, even if they were friendly, and I hate to say this, we would probably come across as hostile, there will be a massive military presence, guns and everything. Us humans can never be friendly, not to something displaying a higher intelligence, TPTB would take it as a threat.

I'd love it to be something like the contact scene in close encounters, communicate with music, colours and maths and of course Richard Dreyfuss............

Good question.

I would love to ask, "Are there other worlds where people like us or you live?"

Any chance of a lift off this hole?

You ask what question I would ask them? I think it would probably be " Do you fancy giving us a schematic of that handy FTL drive you seem to have there?" because its always worth giving it a try!

Charlie Sheen.

Or anybody else who is willing to set their interests aside for the sake of truth. A person of impeccable character. One who does not crack easily under pressure, is approachable, and upstanding. Too many people sell out these days. We need someone who we can trust.

I bet you anything that they would make first contact with the Chineese first, They would stop in, pick up some spare electronic components for their space craft's damaged one's due to atmosphere entry, then head on over to the elected voice of earth, who, surprisingly enough asks them to fill out some paper work for Visa application and then questions them about their space crafts carbon emmissions figures.........

...... OOOOH......... i'm sorry mister alien, but your Visa application has been declined, c ya!!!!

It was the chest hair that let him down though if i remember rightly...so lets go with a waxed Chuck Norris. Go to 3:06 in this video....clearly the hair is his weakness.

I would like to point out for the record that i am not dispaying any underlying fantasies.......a waxed Chuck Norris is purely for improved fighting techniques.

ROFL..

I say ME. Let me a "normal" human with only love in my heart do the best I can to show what and who we are.

I would ask....

God? What do you know of this concept?

I would nominate someone without personal agendas or avowed political, ethnic, national, or religious affiliations. Someone selfless, intelligent, wise (they are not the same thing,) innately peaceful, compassionate, objective, skeptical, and open-minded (the two are not mutually exclusive.) Someone intuitive and empathetic (if not outright empathic, if there is such a thing,) diplomatic, and communicative. Someone insightful regarding human needs, drives, motives, and nature, but who could develop the same kind of insight into the visitors' ways, needs, desires, etc. as well. A humanist who can also be an "intelligent life"-ist.

I am having an exceedingly difficult time coming up with someone who displays all of those criteria. Which is sad in my opinion.

preferably not someone who is stupid or someone who is too smart. someone with common sense and a philosophical outlook on things. absolutely no popes, presidents, world leaders, scientists, biologists, etc. just someone who is good at networking and small talk. someone who is honest and sincere with a good heart and a clear conscious. someone who won't feel intimidated or too giddy. and i promise you that contact will not be face to face at first.

why does everyone think a scientist would be a good choice? science comes later. we would need someone with personal warmth like a good host. Just a good interviewer basically.

but as long as we're just having fun here, i would suggest Charles Manson, Ellen Degeneres, or Neil Peart from Rush.

too bad we have lost some really perfect candidates over the years such as Carl Sagan, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Mother Theresa, and Pope John Paul II.

i think we should think of this in terms of who would they send. would they send a politician, a comedian, a general, the captain of the spaceship? do they even have politicians or comedians? sad to say but they will probably send a robot or someone they can afford to lose.

as far as technology goes, they have probably no use for us. i would think they would be fascinated with our religions and arts. they would probably enjoy our lighter sides of life like literature and paintings. they could probably give two #s about our weapons and our trash culture. in fact, i bet they would be more interested in the innocent animals of the earth.

bill hicks would have been a great diplomat for alien contact !
