The UN spotlights Mazlan Othman, Director of the Office for Outer Space Affairs, as she attends a UN-sponsored conference on the peaceful uses of outer space.
They seem to be putting her out in front of the public. I think an announcement of her role as U.N. liaison with the galactics may be just a short time away. Thanks to Karl.
A journalist asks her to confirm or deny that she was appointed or will be appointed as ambassador to aliens and she denied it. But that is probably only plausible deniability. Later, when she’s appointed, she can say she wasn’t aware it was being planned.
Sorry, I can’t import the video. If anyone can tell me how to import a non-Youtube video, I’d be grateful.
