And, of course we couldn't bring this up on ATS without mentioning ALIENS.
If anything was capable of taking Earth offline... Seriously, humans don't have a great track record of mixing well with other species. We collar
dogs, castrate cats, cage exotics and eat most everything else. Aliens may be far more enlightened and, thus, perfectly capable of visiting and
departing without any more impact on our lives than the contact we have with the entire species of banana slugs.
If not, the large portion of the human race that really doesn't seem to be ready to conceive of the notion that we are not alone - will go into a
collective shock.
And I will really, really want to find the ATSers that have been at the least entertaining the concept of aliens and at best have some experience and
research on how to communicate with them. Or, and let's hope not, defend ourselves against them. I would guess, that many of the real experts are
only ATS lurkers. They're jobs may prohibit posting. But they may want to be able to find ATSers.
Heck, if there are many types of Aliens, maybe Aliens on ATS would want to be able to find the ATSers that are willing to consider peaceful
communication instead of a national military response. The possibilities are endless.
