photo by Professor BattyThe other night I noticed a cat sitting watching me from across the street as I left a friends house. This seemingly innocuous event got me thinking. If I wanted to closely observe humanity unnoticed, but remain mobile how would I disguise my cameras/probes (or possibly myself)? The answer to that questions was staring me in the face, swishing its tail side to side. Feral cats are everywhere and almost no one notices them, making them the perfect disguise for a research probe.

First, from a physical standpoint cats are an ideal base to build an observation platform around. Their near supernatural agility means that the probe can be given the speed and maneuverability needed to evade capture without looking suspicious. A cat’s size would also allow ample room for the equipment needed on a remote probe (especially if using advanced alien technology). The probe’s power system could even be based on or supplemented by a bacteria based biologic power generation system that lets the probe “feed” on pet food left out for outdoor animals. In addition cats are omnipresent and largely look the same regardless of where in the world you go, meaning one probe could be used virtually anywhere on Earth without drawing any attention to itself.

The recent UFO sighting down in Texas and its accompanying media circus prompted Green Daily to look at the UFO phenomena from a perspective that I had never even considered, its impact on the environment. While the article has a slightly condescending tone in regards to people that are open minded enough to believe that we are not alone in the universe, it does raise a good point. If our visitors have the technology to travel across the cosmos, go largely undetected as they fly around the planet, do they have a means of powering their lives without destroying the environment? Do they have the technology to help us fix the environmental disasters we have already completed?

While there is a chance that our cosmic neighbors have screwed up their environment just as badly as we have our own (or worse), there is just as much chance that they have learned to coexist with the natural world and can share with us technologies that will let us step away from dirty energy sources and teach us to live harmoniously with our planet. While I had never really thought about it before, this is just another reason I look forward to the day when the human race makes peaceful and public contact with the extraterrestrial civilizations that have been visiting our planet.

So, you are out sightseeing around the galaxy with some new extraterrestrial friends and wouldn’t you know it, they can’t remember where they picked you up! Depending on the nature of your traveling companions, getting home may not be a big concern, but eventually you are going to want to visit with family and friends. What is a lost earthling to do?

If you had these Location Earth Dog Tags getting home would be no problem. Based on NASA research for the gold plaque attached to Pioneer 10, each tag contains the mathematical location of Earth in relation to several major pulsars as well as Earth’s location in our solar system and a map of the planets major land masses.

Available for $12.99 including shipping to the US, each tag comes with a 24″ ball chain, rubber silencer, and a money back guarantee if you can not get back to Earth while wearing the tag (though, how exactly you would collect said warranty if you were lost in space, I don’t know - but I guess it’s the thought that counts).
