Dear Space Brothers and Sisters,
Hello. My name is J***. I don't know if you can read this with your special space computers. I heard that you were convening a special meeting to decide if you are allowed to fly over Earth to prove once and for all if you are real or not. I have decided to write this letter to you and post it on the interweb so it may influence you decision. Some of you say that we are not ready for contact. Lies, damned lies. We are more than ready. We have been prepared for over 50 years.
Apparently your concern is that if you were to reveal yourselves in all your majestic glory there would be chaos and confusion on Earth.
Uhhhh, well, haven't you seen the news recently?
There already is chaos and confusion, sickness, war, hatred, suicide, boredom. Can it really get much worse? The main problem down here is a total lack of hope and direction. Your arrival would shock some but also give many others plenty of hope and encouragement.
If you were to arrive...
-surely some people would commit suicide, but many other people contemplating suicide would be lifted from despair and hopelessness and be given renewed reason to live.
-some people would go on mad shooting sprees but other potential murderers would stop and consider what they were doing
-many families would stop bickering, and turn and face the universe together revitalised
-many communities would put aside their gossip and intrigue,
-many sick people would find hope and a new reason to endure
-many religious cults and hardcore christians would go crazy, but they were mad anyway so what's the difference?
In the short term, suicides, murders, conflicts would balance out, while I'm sure in the medium term, a few weeks even, after the initial adrenalin rush has subsided, a new calm and peace would descend on the world.
I'm not sure if you really understand the full extent of the hopelessness here.
Sure some of us are not ready, but nature would weed them out. Isn't it better that idiots and madmen are weeded out by contact, than good people are suffocated and trampled by a montrous, mad society, which is the alternative if you continue to delay the moment?
Undoubtably, there are many issues to be worked out. One of your concerns is that any technology you give could be abused and subverted to nefarious ends. Very true.
But technology is not what we really need here, it's cooperation, respect and peace. I'm sure something could be worked out.
And if it all goes wrong... well, we haven't lost much because we've almost annihilated ourselves anyway.
Please come. It is so boring down here.
I urge you not to waste another minute.
Yours in Hope
J***
My Pledge
If you come to Earth openly I promise:
To give more money to beggars
To not eat MacDonalds for one month
To eat more salad
To do more exercise
To pay forward any good luck I have
To set up a clinic and cure hundreds of sick people
Sending text messages into space to contact extra terrestrials
According to The Telegraph, believers in aliens are sending text messages into space in a bid to make contact with little green men.
The messages are sent through a website originally created to send romantic declarations and expressions of love into the cosmos.
They are beamed across the universe on radio waves using a giant satellite dish.
Chris Thomason, one of the founders of website SentForever.com, based in Surrey, said: "Lots of people believe we're not alone. They send messages saying 'I am here, I am ready', or 'Waiting for you to contact me'."
The website accepts messages that it passes on free of charge, but users who want a certificate of transmission must pay £9.95, which includes postage.
... Earlier this year social networking site Bebo arranged to have more than 500 images and text messages transmitted into deep space. The signal was aimed at a planet known as Gliese 581C, which was selected because scientists believe it is capable of supporting life.
