We’ve all seen the posts in forums, twitter, and on blogs proclaiming that government is about to announce the existence of extraterrestrial life. I usually glance through them, take a moment to think about how cool it would be and move on. I just have never thought that the government would ever risk the fallout from such a world changing announcement. Lately though, I have heard more and more talk about disclosure happening sooner rather than later. In fact there is talk that the government might finally be ready to tell us the truth this year and I am starting to think that it may be a strong possibility.

With the world’s economy in shambles, the economic risks involved with announcing the existence of extraterrestrial life are practically nonexistent. I personally think that the injection of alien technology into the world marketplace would help the economy more than any panic caused by the announcement could hurt it. Earth could even become a tourist destination for extraterrestrials, reinvigorating the travel and hospitality industry. Economically it makes perfect sense to open up about alien visitation.

The sudden availability of extraterrestrial technology would easily explain NASA’s decision to mothball the space shuttle program without publicly having a replacement at the ready. If the US government announces the existence of alien life either this year or the beginning of 2010, NASA would be in the perfect position to retire the space shuttle as planed and begin using and learning from alien craft while we develop our own version of the technology. Additionally, we have seen the new vehicles being developed by NASA for use on other planets, but we still haven’t been shown in near as much detail on how they plan on getting that equipment to the moon and beyond. Could this be because the real plan is to use technology supplied by our new alien allies?

Finally, and most importantly, the Obama administration is not reliant on the support of any fundamentalist religious groups that might try the use their influence to prevent any scientific advancements that would threaten their world view (as they have in the not to distant past). Unlike the Bush administration that was catapulted to power partly by the unquestioning support of the religious right, Obama rose through the support from a group that stretched across socioeconomic and religious borders. This means that even if certain groups oppose the idea of extraterrestrial life, the current administration will still have the support it needs to govern effectively.

It would seem that we are facing a perfect storm that makes disclosure not only possible, but virtually necessary. An injection of alien technology and funds could have a lasting positive effect on the economy, reversing a downturn that for which no real solutions exist. NASA’s plan to end the space shuttle program before a replacement is available seems ludicrous, unless the actual plan is to use an extraterrestrially sourced replacement. The US even has an administration that could survive the fall out of turning the religious world on its head. I think we are on the cusp of a very exciting time in human history, what do you think?
