FROM THE PUBLISHER’S

FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK yrs. What happens when they do arrive? Am I the only one who finds this whole ‘shoot them down’ incident more than sketchy? I’m not talking about the weather balloon from China, but the ‘unidentified’ objects that were shot down later that same week. First off, why would you shoot down something that you have no idea what it is. The explanation that they were moving too slow, and the aircraft were too fast, is just stupid. The advanced avionics in today’s fighter aircraft could identify an object from 5-miles out. So that’s just BS. And if the speed of the object was nearly zero and you believed it wasn’t armed, then why not deploy a turbine helicopter to see what it was you’re about to blow out of the sky? And yes, some helicopters can fly up to 25,000 feet. They can’t hover at that altitude, but they could certainly fly around the object and identity it. Long story short, we were played. The government thinks we’re stupid and will believe anything they say, regardless of how ridiculous it is. UFOs and now what they call UAPs, have been sighted in our skies for decades. Most, hell maybe all of them, most likely are aircraft or drones being flown by either our military, China or Russia. Or perhaps they ARE extraterrestrial Drones sent to explore our planet. Let’s just let’s say for a minute, they were from another universe. Sent here with a message of peace and ‘we mean no harm’ attached to it. Our response is to just blow it out of the sky. As far-fetched as it may seem, at some point in the future if there is life out there, they will visit earth if they haven’t already. And when that day does come, we’d assume our government has some plan to deal with it. But I can almost guarantee that Joe Biden has NO PLAN. Hell, he can’t even finish an entire sentence and we’re supposed to believe he can communicate with an alien race. Now you may think this is all nonsense and I’ve been watching Independence Day too many times. But trust me, sooner or later, it’s going to happen. And when it does, someone better have a plan besides blowing them out of the sky. For shits and grins, I asked the new ChatGPT what we should do if Aliens land on earth. Here’s what the AI said we should do: If an alien species were to land on Earth, it would be an unprecedented event with many potential implications. Here are some general steps that could be taken: 1. Establish Communication: The first step would be to establish communication with the aliens, either through language translation or some other means. This could be difficult since we don’t know what kind of communication methods the aliens might use. 2. Observe and Learn: After establishing communication, we would need to observe and learn as much as possible about the aliens and their intentions. We would need to be cautious and avoid any actions that might be interpreted as hostile or threatening. 3. Share Information: We would need to share information about the aliens and their presence on Earth with the international community, including governments, scientists, and the general public. This would be important for transparency and to prevent panic. 4. Plan for Various Scenarios: It would be important to plan for various scenarios, including peaceful coexistence, conflict, or even a possible invasion. This would involve coordinating with various government SGT. MICHAEL BARRON RET agencies, military, and scientific communities. 5. Respect Their Rights: If the aliens are intelligent and self-aware, we should respect their rights and treat them with dignity and respect, just as we would any other sentient beings. 6. Protect Our Planet: Finally, we would need to take steps to protect our planet from any potential harm caused by the aliens. This would include assessing any potential environmental or biological risks posed by the aliens and taking steps to minimize those risks. Overall, any response to an alien landing would require careful thought, planning, and cooperation among various national and international organizations. Sure, it’s far fetched. Just like it might have been if this was March 1, 1966, and I told you that someday there would be daily space flights, personal communication devices that you can hold in your hand that would be more powerful than a room full of computers and a TV so thin you could roll it up and place it in a tube. Or that in 2030 every car was electric. Or cops had a handheld device that would render suspects in-mobile while you handcuffed them. The day IS coming, the question is, WILL WE BE READY? 6 The BLUES The BLUES 7
