If aliens ever land on Earth there will no longer be any confusion over
who will greet them with the news the United Nations is set to appoint
an astrophysicist to be their first human contact.
Mazlan Othman has been tasked with coordinating humanity's response to
an extraterrestrial visit, if ever required.
The 58-year-old Malaysian will tell a conference next week that with
the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting around other
stars, the detection of alien life is becoming more and more likely.
Mazlan Othman
Take us to your leader: Mazlan Othman is expected to be tasked with
coordinating humanity's response to an extraterrestrial visit
Ms Othman, currently the head of the UN's Office for Outer Space
Affairs (Unoosa), recently told fellow scientists that mankind needed
to be ready to deal with alien contact.
'The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several
entities, sustains the hope that some day human kind will received
signals from extraterrestrials,' she said.
'When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes
into account all the sensitivities related to the subject.
'The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.'

Friendly? Professor Stephen Hawking has questioned the theory of
non-threatening alien visitors, such as ET in the Hollywood film
Plans to make Unoose the coordinating body for dealing with alien
encounters are set to be debated by UN scientific advisory committees.
If the idea is backed it will then head to General Assembly.
Professor Richard Crowther, head of the UK delegation to the UN
committee, admitted recently: '[Ms] Othman is absolutely the nearest
thing we have to a "take me to your leader" person.'
In April though Professor Stephen Hawking warned that the alien
contact, if it ever comes, may not be as friendly as has been hoped.
In a documentary, the 68-year-old scientist said he imagined aliens
arriving in 'massive ships' and could try to colonise Earth and plunder
the planet's resources.
'We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might
develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet,' he said.
'I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the
resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps
become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they
can reach.'
He added: 'It would be 'too risky' to attempt to make contact with
alien races. If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much
as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn
out very well for the Native Americans.'
