NASA CONFIRMS ALIEN INVASION! | Weekly World News
Scientists at Pennsylvania State University predict that humans and aliens from Zeeba will?make direct contact with each other by the end of 2012.
Jessica Wygal-Markum?of NASA?s Planetary Science Division and her colleagues compiled a list of plausible outcomes that could unfold in the aftermath of a close encounter, to help humanity ?prepare for actual contact?.
In the report, ?When Humans Meet Zeebans,? ?the researchers divide alien contacts into three broad categories: beneficial, neutral or harmful.
Beneficial encounters were production and peaceful meetings held with extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). ?These meetings will help us advance our knowledge and solve global problems such as hunger, poverty and disease.
One of the scientists, Joyti Aggarwalla, thought another beneficial outcome would be humanity triumph over a more powerful alien aggressor, or even being saved by a second group of ETs ? possibly from Mars. ?In these scenarios, humanity benefits not only from the major moral victory of having defeated a daunting rival, but also from the opportunity to reverse-engineer ETI technology,? the authors write.

Other kinds of close encounter may be less rewarding and leave much of human society feeling indifferent towards aliens. The Zeebans may be too different from us to communicate with usefully. They might invite humanity to join the ?Galactic Club? only for the entry requirements to be too bureaucratic and tedious for humans to bother with. T
The most unappealing outcomes would arise if the aliens from Planet Zeeba caused harm to humanity. ?While aliens may arrive to eat, enslave or attack us, the report adds that people might also suffer from being physically crushed or by contracting diseases carried by the visitors. In especially unfortunate incidents, humanity could be wiped out when a more advanced civilisation accidentally unleashes an unfriendly artificial intelligence, or performs a catastrophic physics experiment that renders a portion of the galaxy uninhabitable.
To bolster humanity?s chances of survival, the researchers call for caution in sending signals into space and to send Alien Search Teams across the planet ? to peacefully attempt to connect with the aliens.

The authors or the NASA report warn that extraterrestrials may be wary of civilisations that expand very rapidly, as these may be prone to destroy other life as they grow, just as humans have pushed species to extinction on Earth. In the most extreme scenario, aliens might choose to destroy humanity to protect other civilizations.
Let?s hope that humanity makes the right choice and makes peaceful overtures to the aliens amongst us. ?If not? well, our days our numbered.
