Sunday there were rumors on the web about the United Nations sending out an alien ambassador. Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, head of the U.N. Office for Outer Space Affairs, was reportedly in line for the job. Othman said there is only one way this would ever happen. There would have to be extraterrestrial visitors first. The concept of alien contact isn’t that absurd considering all of the planets outside of the solar system being discovered more recently. Earth was given a warning about extraterrestrial existence because of all the concerns. This warning originated from Stephen Hawking. Othman e-mailed the British newspaper to set things straight. There can be no ambassador to space. Source of article – Mazlan Othman as U.N. space alien ambassador is sci-fi by Personal Money S! tore.
The United Nations would be the ones speaking with the aliens?
The United Nations extraterrestrial ambassador rumor “broke” within the Sunday Times. It quickly begun flying all around the world. Othman was quoted by the Sunday Times talking about the search for transmission from aliens. Othman thinks the United Nations should be the ones making the reaction that earth needs to have ready. Newspapers like the Australian took the bait, mentioning that Othman would be talking more about imminent contact with aliens at a scientific conference sponsored by the Royal Society in Britain in the near future.
The search for alien existence
An extra-solar planet is also called an exoplanet. In 1992, this was first discovered to really exist. At least a hundred more exoplanets were found on the Kepler Mission. This was a NASA space observatory that had been launched in 2009. There will probably be hardly any alien existence to exist. Of course, that didn’t stop Stephen Hawking from giving his own personal warning. In an interview with the Sunday Times, Hawking said that instead of seeking the aliens out, mankind should be attempting to avoid getting noticed. Aliens would probably be looking for someplace they can get more resources from. He knows that this is something we all can imagine. Just looking within the mirror can show us the consequences. “We only have to check out ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.”
Is Earth actively playing host to aliens?
The story about the U.N. alien ambassador did not just come out of the blue. Othman started the rumor. The Guardian was likely tempted to just throw out some articles like everybody else’s. Instead, it looked for facts of the story. The British newspaper called the Royal Society to ask about Othman’s upcoming speech on alien contact. Nobody had heard about this. A switchboard in Vienna is where the U.N. referred inquiries about the Office for Outer Space Affairs. A Guardian e-mail is what got Othman’s response where she said there was no U.N. alien ambassador story. She wrote “It sounds really cool, but I have to deny it.” There is a real problem that needs to be solved in her speech at the Royal Society. Earth may be colliding with some objects in its rotation soon which could be discussed.
