Avi Loeb on How We Should Prepare For UFOs and Alien Contact
UFO sightings are on the rise this year, the U.S. government appears to be taking disclosure seriously, and more former intelligence officers are speaking out about UFOs. It begs the question, ‘what do we do if extraterrestrials show up?’
Interest in UFOs and calls for disclosure have shifted from a fringe movement to a more mainstream one. For years, ufologists have demanded full exposure of all alien contact with humans, but what should we actually do if extraterrestrials make themselves known to us on Earth or in space?
That’s the question posed by Harvard Professor of Science Avi Loeb, in his latest article for Scientific American. Professor Loeb, author of “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” thinks we should be prepared for an alien arrival.

The Government's UFO Hearings Are Just a Distraction
‘Disclosure’ might be one of the most hackneyed buzzwords in ufology, especially when it’s prefaced by the word “government.”
“When will we get disclosure?”
“We want government UFO disclosure now!”
These interminable demands from the UFO community, and now the general public, have grown louder since 2017’s New York Times exposé, “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious UFO Program.”
The explosive piece explained how the Navy regularly encountered what it termed, “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” with “unusual aerial systems interfering with military weapon platforms and displaying beyond-next-generation capabilities.”
After the article’s release, the Department of Defense admitted the videos and encounters it referenced were, in fact, legitimate and that it could not explain them. In further interviews with Navy pilots, including Cmdr. David Fravor, — whose experience became the most widely discussed — the name “TicTac” was given to the craft, for its resemblance to the breath mint.
To the uninitiated general public, this was a shocking admission. The government is admitting UFOs are real? And they’re concerned it could be a threat to national security?
