As Stephen Bassett said, any event could be THE event. It’s getting closer.
Prediction: Stayed tuned for Mazlan Othman to be appointed U.N. contact for galactics at this Society meeting: Extra-terrestrial life and arising political issues for the UN agenda.
If that happens, what more needs to be said before disclosure?

Organised by Dr Martin Dominik and Professor John Zarnecki
Should extra-terrestrial life exist, upcoming efforts will provide living generations with a realistic chance of its detection. Even more than the scientific agenda, a corresponding complementary societal agenda needs to be debated.
With a mix of invited talks and panel debates, we particularly look into the detection of life, the communication with potential extra-terrestrial civilizations, the implications for the future of humanity, and the political processes that are required.
Four panel debates include
Calling ET, or not even answering the phone?
Societal questions raised by the detection of extra-terrestrial life
What could studies of extra-terrestrial life tell us about the future of humanity?
Extra-terrestrial life and arising political issues for the UN agenda
