If Alien Contact Is Received: what then?

Likely everything you ask about has already happened. Recall Project Bluebook.

We already have been contacted, at least as early as Ike's administration. Other governments are also aware. Yes, the public has been kept in the dark, perhaps with good cause. Cognitive dissonance is so strong in some humans that they could never handle the knowledge. It would blow the proverbial 50 amp fuse.
Um no.
 
People choose to believe in all sorts of weird **** and Little green men is one of them.
 
What ever they tell us to do...They must be "Gods" if they found us. Don't hold your breath though, the chances are infinitesimal. Did you know there are as many stars in the universe as there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the Earth? Can you imagine trying to find one special grain of sand in all of those?

The first time I heard that my mind started spinning like a top.I still can't fully grasp it.
 

Terrific answer Henry! Really thoughtful.

Or is it just another example of a human in denial of inconvenient facts? Or perhaps the complicated answer of a person uninformed of certain facts? :mrgreen:

From most of your posts you seem like a well rounded and sensible individual. Which is why I can’t understand why you’ve latched on to such ludicrous conspiracy theories.

The facts he refers to are a long way from being facts.

There is a difference between a conspiracy theory and a conspiracy fact.

Many people consider it a conspiracy theory that the CIA is in the dope business. It is a fact, not a theory, and I know from personal experience.

Cannot say the same about aliens, as I have no personal experience, but between Blue Book and so much more, there is no doubt in my mind.

Nobody conspired to understand the visits by aliens, but some in government DID conspire to put Blue Book into File 13, if you know what that means.

You too seem well rounded and pleasant, thanks for the compliment. Do you actually believe we are alone in the cosmos on this planet?

It’s highly likely that we’re not alone in the universe . However it is highly unlikely that we’ve been visited by extraterrestrials.
 
What do you think our government should do if they receive otherworldly contact from an intelligent species not of this Earth? Should other nations be put in the know? Public kept in the dark? Just wondering.

We must call on the Space Force to defend us from intergalactic evil...

I don't understand why you would think it might be kept secret.

So my question to you is, why do you think it would be kept secret?

There are huge piles of facts and evidence that work to render your last sentence an inaccurate statement.
 
No alien race would ever contact us since there isnt any intelligent life down in this planet.

They probably already came, said "Oh God, what a bunch of morons!", and abandoned us to our folly.
 
I would expect any aliens to have been watching us for decades before making an contact.

So they would probably know about the UN and contact them rather than the US government.

Then the Republicans will nuke them.

They'd be out at area 51 smoking hooch with the Generals or hiding out in one of their many bases as they went about influencing leaders toward world conquest or some more benevolent theme.
 
It seems to me that I watched a lot of fantastic movies. And do not be surprised if I meet on the street, for example, Hulk. I think the government will not tell us if it receives such a signal. Until some apocalypse comes
