Are We Being Prepared for Alien Encounter As Space Technology and Chance Encounters Improve?

Can you imagine President Barack Obama asking the networks for a primetime spot for a speech from the Oval Office or a special joint session of Congress.  And he tells us that the government has been in contact with intelligent life from another world.

You’re sitting at home, at a friend’s house, a bar, or just shopping for a TV at Best Buy when it happens.  “Oh, shi…” would be about right.

According to a new study, world governments and agencies are not ready for the close encounter.  You know, aliens.  And encounter or discovery with extraterrestrial life could happen in the next decade.  As much as I like to believe that, well, let’s just say I won’t be putting any wager on it.

Still, you can’t help but think back over the last decade as space science has advantaged, trips to Mars, Voyager leaving our solar system, various governments releasing UFO files, and even the Vatican saying it’s possible that God created life elsewhere in the universe that all of that put together is a mentioned but meticulously planned and eventual unveiling of the truth about alien life.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the asteroid on earth showing possible ancient bacteria from space, evidence of Mars having a vibrant past capable of supporting life, and discovery of more and more Goldilock planets.

Also, from the picture above captured by Curiosity, we need to prepare ourselves for the day when one of these pictures do show proof of life beyond Earth on Mars or one of the moons of the gas giants in our solar system.  Or proof of life can come from one of our deep space telescopes.

From CNet, this picture is from the Curiosity.  There is nothing to suggest this is anything artificial.  Still, I'm sure NASA and fans get pretty excited whenever one of these pictures or sightings suggest the impossible.

If there is alien life and with advances in our space technology, our chances of spotting this life gets better each day.  And with the trickle of scientific revelations and media revelations, you just can't help feel we are being groomed for that big day.
