I agree with you but you can't disregard it because of misspellings. It happens. You have never misspelled a word?

I think the majority of people will be feeling exactly as you do.
I tend to agree with Zorgon on this one - There will be no Disclosure
I think it will come in a different way.
You are not alone....

What was meant, in the illustration, by "5 longitudinal studies"?
I have no idea what its referring to. Anyone?

I think that the point is being missed in all of this, and it's potentially weirder than "disclosure" (which, if it was happening for the benefit of a bunch of business leaders, would not be publicized, eh?)
Read this bit again:
Psychological and socio-cultural assumptions and preconceptions constrain us to a large extent, and shape our views of the universe so that we are inclined to find what we are looking for, and fail to see what we are not. Using knowledge gained from research in the fields of Ufology and the search for extraterrestrial life, what might we possibly learn about hindrances to innovation in other areas of inquiry?
- Innovation and anthropomorphism, ethnocentrism and ego
- Falsification and the evidence of absence
- What Giordano Bruno would say
This discussion is not ABOUT UFOs. It is about learning from what people who study them have learned. Not what they have learned about UFOs, but about the methodology of studying, discussing and reporting on a phenomenon that most people are skeptical of, and for which hard evidence is hard to come by, and is easily fabricated.
It is about building credibility for an incredible subject.
The real question would be "what is coming down the pike that isn't about UFOs, but is just as unorthodox, and which would have relevance for this group of businessmen?"

I have a tendency to agree, however if all the NWO believers are to be taken seriously with the plans to unify the world, wouldn't official disclosure have to happen?
Friedman will be joined by City College of New York theoretical physicist, author, and host of Discovery Channels Sci-Fi Science Dr. Michio Kaku, PhD. and UK Ministry of Defense official and author Nick Pope studying the topic of Contact: Learning from Outer Space.
Speaking with reporters from the Canadian newspaper Daily Gleaner, Friedman said, "I intend to stress that aliens have taken innovative approaches to interstellar travel, travel in the atmosphere (and in) examination of earthlings.
"So far, as I know, I am the only one of the five who has strongly stated a conviction that some UFOs are of alien origin. The others indicate that something of interest is happening, but they are unwilling to admit to the conclusion that aliens are visiting, as opposed to merely being out there.
"In other words, some UFOs are alien vehicles," Friedman said. "I am also convinced, after working for many major corporations as a nuclear physicist, that technological progress comes from doing things differently in an unpredictable way. The future is not an extrapolation of the past. Microcircuits are not just small vacuum tubes; lasers are not just better light bulbs, nuclear reactors are not just better chemical combustion chambers. All involve new physics."

As reported, the Global Competitiveness Forum met at their Annual Conference and this years topic was UFO's and Extraterrestial's.
No Joke, and yes it did happen. Here is a nice flow chart from the conference.
Learning from Outer Space – Panel The unconventional and highly relevant topic of extraterrestrial life forms was addressed by yesterday’s panel discussion “Contact: Learning from Outer Space”. Experts Zoaghloul El-Naggar, Stanton Friedman, Michio Kaku, Nick Pope and Jacques Vallee made compelling cases for the existence of living beings elsewhere in the galaxy, drawing upon empirical evidence, religious theology and logical reasoning. Mr. Friedman opened his remarks with a bold statement, “Flying saucers are real!” and this summed up the perspective of the panel members. Mr. Pope explored the potential business implications of outer space, such as the profitability of alien branding or sponsorship. While El-Naggar was also convinced of their existence, he raised the interesting point that it may not be ethical to spend resources trying to contact alien societies when we still face war and poverty in our own society. Mr. Vallee encouraged more academics to analyze the evidence. However, on behalf of his successful Venture Capital fund, he said, “We are not ready to invest in this type of research, but we think that somebody should.”

While Hollyweird and the alternative media have capitalised on the hopes of the believers, and the fear of at least some of the religious sector, among others, it looks like now it's time for corporations and big business to get in on the action, and take it to the next level.
So, is all this a step toward "disclosure" as the endgame? Maybe. But it sounds more like plain old profiteering to me.

Well if 'we' are the aliens, perhaps seeded or transplanted from another planet such as ours, then no what disclosure? Nothing to disclose, it would become as if it always has been this way, and the GP will wander through years of incredible discoveries which are really other world, advanced technologies. Perhaps they have moved a little further along, but the real question would be, what do we have that they want need in trade?
