I, for one, never supposed that the Royal Society was poised to provide disclosure about UFOs on October 4th and 5th. This conference, their second
on the topic of extraterrestrial life this year, simply seems interesting as a part of a larger pattern. All the parts of this pattern have to do with
different implications of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Some of these have been discussed in these forums, others, it appears, have not.
Taken together, they raise some interesting questions. Why has the topic of extraterrestrial life become so prominent at this particular time? A
flurry of interest around some one particular event, such as a major UFO sighting is understandable. What does seem different recently, is the number,
variety, frequency, and seeming significance of 'extraterrestrial events'. I don't think it extravagant to consider the possibility that
'something is up', that some change is due in the status quo. What form such a change might take, no on can say with certainty. Let us consider what
is known about the UFO phenomenon and how information about it has been 'conserved' in certain quarters, and what we can reasonably surmise about
life in the universe. A very gradual process of familiarization with the the existence of such life, in the vicinity of Earth, followed by an
explicit exposition of this as fact, is not an unreasonable possibility, based on both observation and reason. World governments may wish to cooperate
in this process, assuming they are aware that it is occurring, and realizing that they are powerless to prevent it. They might well disclose what they
have learned of Earth's true situation in the larger universe, and have thus far kept largely to themselves. In so doing they could 'soften the
impact' and reduce negative reactions and chaos. And that would be very much in their interests, as well as that of their citizens. Ross
