Aliens Would Be Terrifying

RomDS9 Aliens Would Be Terrifying

One of the worst ideas I’m aware of is the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life.

This Los Angeles Times story details new efforts to use sensitive radio telescopes to hear alien signals.

This is called SETI—Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

This is a terrible idea.

I don’t want to know about any space beings. It’s bad enough we bring back samples from the moon or wherever else. Someday we are all going to get the spacepox.

I feel any aliens coming here will either enslave us or eat us. Maybe both. It rarely went well when civilizations met for the first time in Earth history. At best, aliens will transmit a horrible disease.  

The thought of aliens is terrifying. People would lose their minds if the mother ship landed in Red Square or the Bronx or anywhere. People lose their minds over far less. 

I get upset when I think of the records on the Voyager spaceprobes that give our location. Why tell our potential alien masters where we are?  

I know we can’t do anything about the radio and television signals transmitting our location for the whole galaxy to hear. But we can at least put our heads in the sand about whatever beings that mercifully have not found us yet.

Or are not yet hungry enough or in need of all our water to come to Earth.

  1. TL,
    Thank you I needed a good laugh….. They would only want our oil. Would we let them have it?

  2. Well, that was full of humor and sarcasms.
    As a matter of fact, there are lot of Extra-terrestrials in Planet Earth as well. Like our own President Bush ;-)

  4. Margaret– If oil is needed to power light speed ships, then I guess we will never be free of our need for fossil fuels.

    My guess is the ships will be fueled by energy gained by mashing us into atoms.

    Masoom—Then the aliens have already declared war by sending such a dangerous weapon. Was Newt Gingrich one of them as well?

  5. Spoken like a true Xenophobe! LOL
    I for one welcome our Alien Overlords.
    Seriously though they have been here for quite some time already. If they were going to do something nasty they would have done it already. Why wait for our defensive technology to get better and better? They could’ve had us 200 or more years ago. In fact it shows they have some positive interest in keeping human civilization intact, because if they did indeed land on the White House lawn or make some other big flashy introduction, our civilization would’ve been quickly shattered by the utter shock and terror of it all.
    If you’ll notice the broad chain of events lately (past 10 years, more noticeable the past year or two), there’s *something* going on relating to disclosing to the world the exisence and presence of this intelligent exolife. It’s very exciting times actually. We may be the lucky generation that is blessed with experiencing first contact.

  6. maybe the new X-files movie will be more true than we want it to be…. I wish they would take Cheney back….

  7. Could Aliens do any worse than the Bush administration? :-)
