ETs: Who’s Afraid Of The Aliens…

British physicist Dr Stephen Hawking warned on his new TV show that Extraterrestrials (ETs), if they ever arrive, might be looking for conquest and plunder. He believes aliens could be more interested in exploiting our natural resources than sharing their technology with us. Is Planet Earth prepared to take them on? Or, will the might of the rich/developing nations exhausted fighting their own wars?

Long before Stephen Hawking’s alien warning, the National Security Agency was preparing to communicate with alien life, reports CSM. “National Security Agency cryptologist Lambros Callimahos wrote his unclassified paper on communications with aliens some 40 years ago.

“Like Hawking, Mr. Callimahos assumed that any aliens who contact Earth probably will be our technological betters. Unlike Hawking, Callimahos thought this would be great. Imagine ‘the enormous potential gain from our contact with a superior civilization,’ he wrote in the NSA Technical Journal in 1966.

“Talking to E.T. could require the development of communication symbolism that is as easy as possible to comprehend, Callimahos wrote. He proposed a series of simple electronic beeps, first representing numbers, then increasing in complexity to indicate letters and mathematical processes.” See here…

Meanwhile scientists haven’t found E.T. just yet, but they may be pinning down the best places and ways to look for alien life during future space missions. NASA scientists are currently considering a list of 28 future science missions that could help discover signs of said extraterrestrial life. More here….

Hawking says if intelligent alien life forms do exist out in the vastness of the space, they might not be the friendly cosmic neighbors the people of Earth are looking for. An advanced spacefaring extraterrestrial civilization could end up wandering the universe in enormous spaceships on the prowl for vital materials after consuming the natural resources of their own world, Hawking explains in an episode of the show “Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking,” which premiered on the Discovery Channel.
