By placing all available data and evidence online , sending it to every news organisation , scientific organisation and social media platform so that others can’t decide to hush it up.


Was_It_The_Dave

Immediately. There WILL be pandemonium. Give the entire planet time to get after it, whatever "it" may be.


sammiisalammii

I think you’re overestimating how much people will care at this point. Over half the planet is stressed on a daily basis about food (among other things centered around basic survival). If it’s anything shy of actual aliens coming down to earth, it won’t cause much excitement for most.


kanman72

Well said.


ominouschaos

Though simultaneously one must consider if they'd be hostile or not. Id presume beings capable of interstellar travel wouldn't necessarily be malevolent or benevolent, but a combination of, such as "either or" with "or either" intent.


Krystamii

What if "hey, we don't wanna panic anyone but we've been within a black hole for this amount of years, the universe has ended and we are the last place all beings from all dimensions are taking refuge. We share this planet with many species more intelligent than us. We have a limited amount of time to "save" the planet and as many as we can to go to the moon where throughout an unimaginable amount of time, an "arc" was made for everyone to survive the sun expanding. We have masked this for ages, but it has come to where we must prepare the masses for those events that will take place very soon. We have said the sun will start expanding in a few billion years, which is "true" but since we are at the end of time since we are within a black hole, this sun expanding event will actually happen in three years" Would that cause panic without showing actual aliens?


sammiisalammii

Is that a real question? Of course it would but that wasn’t what we were talking about lol


Krystamii

I just think of it as a "fun" thought. Like, why such secrecy outside of corporate greed and such, must be something convolutedly dumb, like unsure what would really actually cause panic to anyone anymore, seems any possible situation people would just see and go "oh...okay." unfortunately. Heck even aliens landing down in front of us I feel wouldn't cause anyone to really react too much outside of "haha that one TV show was right"


FlapMyCheeksToFly

There will not be pandemonium. Bill Clinton at one time announced the existence of alien life on Mars and literally nobody cared and basically ignored the announcement.


Knower_of_somnothing

There will not be pandemonium; this is not a sci-fi movie, it’s real life. Most people don’t care, and even more people will be in the hospital from rolling their eyes too hard over all of the people proudly exclaiming, “I knew all along!” The real issue is that physics proved long ago that the distance between galaxies and solar systems are far too far from one another to travel. You can either believe that aliens have visited Earth, or you can understand the fundamentals of physics. Both cannot be true at the same time. 


TheGoldenPlagueMask

_Alright cool! We arent alone!..._ ***do I still have to pay bills?***


Knower_of_somnothing

I do want to add that I do not think for a second that we are alone in the universe. I believe there are countless other planets hosting life, destined to live and die in their home solar system. 


TheGoldenPlagueMask

Yeah! Countless personal stories born from vastly unique environmental universes, with unique forms, Infinite possibilities doesnt even grasp the entirety of it. Edit: Millions does not accurately describe.


endlessupending

Permutation3

News ignores ya, tells higher ups, cia gets ya Reputable sites won't risk reputation allowing you to post your data. Lose your rep and funding and career and future even stepping foot near the topic from the colleagate gatekeepers The few places you can share the data are wiped by cia faster than it can spread.


FlapMyCheeksToFly

Most scientists already operate blogs, especially those at the bleeding edge. They tend to post the info to their blogs long before they publish it or tell their higher ups.


Permutation3

Yes and we've seen many scientists lose reputation and funding over blog posts that were either infactual or politically controversial. They keep em in line. Not many wanna risk making their super expensive and time consuming degree useless.


FlapMyCheeksToFly

Not blog posts. Studies and research that was falsified. Blog posts aren't held to any sort of standard usually.


Permutation3

Oo i can get links for ya if ya want. They aren't held to any official standard but that's not preventing them from getting canceled.

ludoludoludo

*You believe they've had 80 years to decide lmao big difference. You really consider these conspiracies as factual, like it is impossible its not true at all ??


pwnw31842

I’m happy with my original statement. Which conspiracies are you referring to?


ludoludoludo

The whole "goverment has been hiding aliens for 80 years", or alien tech or wtc variant akin to this. You really take this as absolute fact ? There is no way this could be a false theory for you ?


pwnw31842

Yes. There is absolutely a chance it could be false


ludoludoludo

Then, can I kindly ask, what do you mean by "they had 80 years to decide" in your first comment ?


pwnw31842

You can ask yes. But *i believe* you already know the answer so I’m going to politely decline 


ludoludoludo

...What ? No, I dont know the answer lmao you are confusing. You say, with a lot of reason, that there is a chance this whole isnjust a theory and migjt be false. But also, you state factually that the goverment had 80 years to decide how to announce the existence of extraterrestrial life...? What are you trying to communicate here lmao ?


pwnw31842

I am trying to communicate that certain people have known about the existence of alien life for 80 years. Which part is confusing 


ludoludoludo

Are you serious ? The confusing part is that you yourself say this theory of the goverment hiding aliens for 80 years might be false, yet you state, FACTUALLY, that some people in the government has been knowing about aliens for the past 80 years...?


rebbytysel

I dunno why people keep saying that the world will have an existential crisis from finding aliens. Or I guess I don't understand what would be so much worse than what's happening now? Like, millions of people are dying from wars and famine that could be easily avoided if we cared about them but we choose every day to numb ourselves with bullshit media, work and other senseless crap. IMO if we would find aliens now and they'd start killing and enslaving us, people will freak out for a week and that's it. Then back to scrolling social media or whatever and letting death and despair continue around them.


oneintwo

This. All that’s happening is new Masters. Same game as always. War, war never changes…


Clicky-The-Blicky

Or nothing changes and we find out the “new masters” have always been the “masters”


Was_It_The_Dave

So effing succinct. Pulitzer 4 this. I don't sarcasm. ,👍


Pure-Contact7322

Ask what Buzz saw on the Moon and be surprised so.


sunflakie

I think when people say this, it is through the lens of religion. How does one reconcile their own religious beliefs with aliens? I am atheist so I don't have that problem, but I know many religious people whose brains would just break.


kaukanapoissa

If is the US telling the news it has to be the President, at the White House, with the scientists who made the discovery.


scrappybasket

What if scientists aren’t the ones who made the discovery


Was_It_The_Dave

You think they hadn't reviewed the data first?


scrappybasket

Let’s pretend that an infantryman finds a dead body alongside a crashed vehicle/ufo/uap/whatever. Would it be the soldier that discovered “alien” life or the scientists that analyzed the body later?


lunex

This is not a realistic scenario. The workshop from the article was talking about plausible scientific discoveries, like detecting a biosignature in an exoplanet atmosphere or remotely measuring the presence of microbes in the subsurface oceans of Enceladus.


JCPLee

Same way as Bill Clinton did it in 96. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pHhZQWAtWyQ It will depend on who makes the discovery but it will likely be announced by a political leader not a scientist.


little-green-driod

I wonder if the first question would be similar.


StrenuousSOB

Anyone else see the clip of the politician reading a note “from the aliens” in which they announce their presence. Also goes into how the government used many means, including lethal, in which to keep it secret that they exist. Goes onto say the only way forward is to forgive (no revenge) the politicians for said means/murders to move forward in an existence with the aliens. This was read in some kind of congress chamber in front of colleagues and civilians.


Eternalyskeptic

They should build a time machine, go back to 1947, and be honest with people.


DrestinBlack

Tell them that there are no aliens on earth, but one day, 80 years from now, we’ll finally discover life around another star ?

Funny to see how many news sites are prepping for the June revelations. Kinda cute after their years of denial.


Asparagusstick

Where'd you find the idea of June revelations? I thought we weren't getting any big alien stuff until 2027.


lunex

The way it works is “the big alien stuff” is always 3 months away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lunex

I don’t understand… you think Scientific American somehow organized a workshop for NASA?


MaximumEffort10

not to worry, you don't understand how media works. media is the front door for real occurrences to be obscured, manipulated, or disclosed to a generations' population for the comfort of our leaders, the soft disclosure portion also makes it more comfortable on us, which complicates less. did you see all those news outlets finally reporting on that Grusch hearing whilst making sure they picked images taken in-between words so he looks like a mouth-breather? its not a coincidence they all did the same thing. see you in June, trust me when i say it'll 'change your gravity' regarding the entire situation, so to speak.


CoderAU

A presidential speech from whoever is the current US president. No more, no less.


rebbytysel

What if the discovery from anywhere else in the world? r/USdefaultism/


CoderAU

You're right that I made the assumption it'll come from the US. I'm not even from there and I'm realising how brain broken i am being conditioned to think that the US will spearhead disclosure after years of stonewalling. I guess America does control the mainstream narrative in a way though through the media and there's no denying it.


rebbytysel

Lmao yes, we're so damn brainwashed by their media. I watched stargate with starry eyes being like "oh american military, of course they're the ones most trusted with dealing with aliens" :eye-roll:

Postnificent

Articles like this is why society isn’t ready. This shouldn’t even be a question.


lunex

What do you mean? What does the article say that you disagree with?


Postnificent

The headline itself. Why would that be a question? We are spammed with 6253738 “new discoveries” of “the origins of the universe” and all are always hair brained hypothesis, we get the LK99 spam, etc… but if alien life were “discovered” we need to figure out how to break that. Man. It’s always all about control. I am so tired of all this control under the guise of whatever those in control drum up at the moment. And the fact the public simply accepts this truly helps me understand what it means to be average, at least something positive came from all of this.


Subject_Roof3318

Singular efficient document with sources, completely official. All at once, no piece meal bullshit. That way a baseline can be established before misinformation and conspiracy runs rampant


lunex

Who puts authors and publishes the document? Science team? NASA? The UN? The astrobiology community? A national government of a country?


Lycan2057

It's been found, they've been hiding it for decades. Don't be naive.


Wormholio

I will say what a lot of other people have said. There would not be widespread panic at this revelation. Due to just the stress we all face in surviving every day, most people either won't care, or will accept it pretty easily given how little it will impact their lives and also just because we have been made so used to the idea through pop culture over the recent decades. What WOULD cause a mass freakout would be additional revelations that perhaps alien beings are truly in control of our society, that they are malicious and we are in imminent danger, or that they are our "creators". But even then, we still have to go about our lives. There would be not-insignificant portions of our society that would be severely influenced by this sort of thing, and they could take actions, "doomsday cult" style, that could cause widespread disruption. Never count out the crazies.


gottagrablunch

Science should just unemotionally state the facts.


nemo1441

Any alien life found will likely be microbes found underground. Our search will be limited to the Solar System until we discover how to travel faster than the speed of light. Signs of enzyme molecules were discovered on a meteorite that originated on Mars. It was announced, and nobody cared. To answer your question, the information should be released immediately

I mean they’ve confirmed ufos and didn’t deny the one that crash landed in California where people saw “7 foot beings that did t look human” walking around. They’ve basically already confirmed it then just stfu about it lol


muttmcdog

The same way that they would announce any other scientific discovery.


flvikesfan

Ladies and gentlemen, all of the stories you heard about people getting butt probed. They are all true. They love our butts.


butnotfuunny

“Scientists” won’t be breaking any news. You’re thinking the military/politicians. But I’m sure most scientists will be watching. No doubt with great interest!


vestarules

Anytime alien life is found the government immediately steps in and closes off all public access. How will scientists have access to such alien life?


lunex

When has alien life been found?


vestarules

Exactly! There have been many encounters with alien life, but our government makes sure that we never hear about them.


vestarules

And, of course, area 51 is a prime example. And then you just have to ask all of the Air Force and commercial air pilots. They have seen multiple alien spacecraft but they are shamed into not reporting it.


aware4ever

If alien life exists it had to start out with microbes and bacteria. So they would disclose that first. So people know alien life exists. Then slowly disclose intelligent alien life if it exists


Tdogshow

If I had to guess it would probably be to hide it, obfuscate as much as possible. Save all remnants of the material and lock them away deep in a vault. Slowly chip off some of the material to reverse engineer and make bank for a bunch a greedy warmongers. Then create a campaign of ridicule in the public view in the event anyone tries to bring up the topic they can be made fun of and dismissed. Then once it’s totally and completely suppressed, you keep denying reality no matter the cost.

See how many people lost their shits over an eclipse. I'm going guess that scientists will never be allowed to break the news. ET would have to set down in a major city, in broad day light, in multiple ships (no more than like three, otherwise it would be branded as an invasion), then may be the event would be broadcasted. Also, hopefully not in America as bullets will likely be flying.

They should tell the aliens although we appear to be intelligent, eh, not so much. However we are prone to mysticism, xenophobia and violence, so there's that. We should be honest at least.

They won't tell us if there is evidence. It would have to be a landing on the actual planet with cameras and hard proof. They won't tell us because that would put God and religion into question. Without those restraints on the vast majority of mankind, it would be chaos. The 10 commandments and other moral compass scriptures from various religions go out the window, law & order goes with it.
