When the aliens come they'll eat the fat one's first.

the alien will be whisked away to the Department of Agriculture's Animal Disease Center on Plum Island, off the coast of New York's Long Island. Here it will be poked and probed by doctors from the National Institutes of Health. A Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST) will tow away its spacecraft.That may not work out to well for us.

I thought UFO broke up in the 80s.

I read this article in print a few days ago.
I noticed that they cited that any alien beings actually in human contact will be quarantined and classified as animal.
Huge gaping what if: Are we to expect any different treatment from an alien species were we to travel to their world or encounter them in a superior number elsewhere?

No kidding. Do we really want to tick off a being that managed to come here via an unkown power source, who just may have on it's person a self destruct mechanism for the ship and itself and who's buddies might be sitting on the dark side of the moon waiting for the all clear message that says we aren't a bunch of a-holes?
Something tells me that if they could send one ship that far that they could send more. And the more might be bigger and better armed than the ambassador ship.

Unless it is spewing exhaust, the craft would be assumed to be nuclear powered.What about electric powered golf carts?...They don't spew exhaust...at least mine doesn't.

Yes, there is a plan. No, there won't be UFOs with space aliens.

I would expect similar treatment, or an attempt, at any rate.

Anthropomorphizing. Human hubris.
This is the kind of comedy that reminds me that, like with UFO's, there's no such thing as an "intellectual" unless you believe in them.
We're not gonna poke and prod anything with the technology to get here, unless they say it's okay.
We'll be at their beck and call, not the other way around.

Yeah, take them to Plum Island for "inspection" and impound the spacecraft for illegal parking, that's the ticket.
To: All
This plan would work if they come in small ships, however, if they come in huge motherships floating over a city, chances that this plan would go into effect would be nill.

Goodall has proved her ability to communicate with intelligent nonhumans. She talks to DemocRATS.
And now for something entirely different.
Bad news: We've been invaded by eatra-terrestrials!
Good news: They eat liberals and pee gasoline!

Love this song,...
Children Of The SunPeople of the earth can you hear me?
Came a voice from the sky that magical night.
And in the colours of a thousand sunsets.
They travelled to the world on a slivery light.
The people of the Earth stood waiting
Watching as the ships came one by one
Setting fire to the sky as they landed
Carrying to the world Children Of The Sun
All at once came a sound from the inside
Then a beam made of light hit the ground
Everyone felt the sound of their heartbeat
Every Man - Every Woman - Every Child
They passed the limits of imagination
Through the doors - to a world - of another time
On the journey of a million lifetimes
With the Children Of The Sun - They started their climb
No more gravity, nothing holding them down
Floating endlessly, as their ship leaves the ground
Thru the walls of time - at the speed of light
Fly the crystal ships on their celestial flight
On their celestial flight.

As far as the U.S. government is concerned, that discussion started and ended more than 40 years ago. Regardless of how the world's astronomy community might want to handle first contact, Uncle Sam has ideas of his own. And they rest on the assumption that ET is first and foremost an illegal alien.So that's the best plan they can come up with?? They're going to give him free medical care, amnesty, and make it a hate crime for any native born citizen to say anything that offends him?
