How do you know for sure how you will react if/when disclosure occurs?
Lots of people think they are ready for things, but when it actually happens they are not.
For example, think of sky diving for the first time, you might be really looking forward to going and think you are prepared, but when you are getting ready to jump out of the plane you become scared and unprepared.
Also you dont know how disclosure would happens, what if hostile aliens invade, are you ready for this?
Cheers

IMO the bigger the secret, the more difficult it is to keep. But, moreover, it is irrational to me to assume that an alien species would traverse the galaxies only to allow a very small percentage of this planets life to monopolize the knowledge that they posses and to keep their existence a secret. Especially when said alien life would undoubtedly see just how dysfunctional those in leadership are.

Exactly, and the more sinister the plot can unfold.... whos to say its the ALIENS not wanting there existances known for some corrupt purpose, and if thats the case, why are the governments of the world obeying? Disclosure is such a touchy subject as one poster said. Not only would the citizens be enraged that the government has been lying to them for over 70's years, but we wouldnt be able to trust what they say anyway. If obama was to come out tomorrow and say, well guys... aliens do existance and have been coming here for eons.. and we just thought you would like to know, the general public would be shocked, enraged, and even more skeptical about whats going on between aliens and the government..if Obama was to say "Dont worry they are nice." It could be to further fool us into believing they are nice and who knows it could be something out of the twilight zone where the aliens have a cook book and humans are the main course, better us then the guys in Washing DC huh? LOL OR the aliens could be totally peaceful and loving and spirtually evolved and our governments could tell us how evil, deceitfull they are and we would all load are guns ready to kick some alien butt for no real reason...all I know is if it ever happens and I would have the "I knew it" attitude but I damn sure wouldnt be opening a beer! I would be watching all news stations, surfing the internet for more information and watching all interviews, I would call off of work, keep my child home from school and huddle inside our home....I wouldnt believe EVERYTHING that they say, because I know they will use some kind of propaganda twist to influence our thoughts. If it happens, I personally would like it to be a 48hr live televised, no commercial interupttion event where they bring fourth documentations from the very beging, wheather the begining was the sumerian culture, or even way before us and explains more about them and where they came from, how they got here, what their doing here, if they had a hand in creating us and why, just so many questions could finally be answered if it were to happen and last but not least I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE 100% TRUTHFUL!! NO BS!! But hey, you dont always get what ya want right? lol

I've skydived before, i was a paratrooper,
and hostile invading aliens would be no worse than an invading
army with ill intent, or mad men with nukes, so all you could do is fight and hope. Never live in
fear or you're already beat.

The general public are not ready for disclosure. Their heads would explode. And that's just the Western worlds "educated " masses. Hell most people I see walking around would not be able to get their pants on the right way around, if their wasn't a label to help them, and then get to work alive in the morning without someone keeping them safe.
All but 0.0005% of the population are retarded. It is that very small % that do the critical thinking, inventing etc... that keeps the rest alive.

What, in fact, means advancement? What kind of advancement? For sure, we're more advanced than the blue people in "Avatar" in technological regards. But in moral ethic regards - it seems we're degenerated. Technical Advancement doesn't mean, that a species is advanced in general. It may lack advancement in many other regards, for example in ethical, spiritual or ecological regards. As we do...
Regarding that, the blue people in "Avatar" were far superior to us.

The reason people dont worry all the time about earthquakes,
tornados, or even the mad men of this world with nukes, is
because we already know of these threats and have come to
terms with them. And know in our own way how to deal with
the threats (appart from the nukes, where we would be powerless)
It's the unknown most people fear, the not knowing.
People say we're not ready for disclosure, well i say i am.
Aliens and their agendas dont frighten me. Im as hard as life,
and as scary as death, and i refuse to live in fear.
So come on nasa, mr president, the time has come!
