But what I CAN do is wait and see if one of you asks the Right Question.

Ok, let's try this one: Why the fu*k do you talk of "first contact" when
alien presence has been here since the begining of human times?

Mr. D. Bohne!
Hello! Darla left a message for you.
But I'll have to look for it.
You should see this place; what a mess!

Talking about yourself again in the third person, how kooky.

This is easy question: Always when I speak of "first contact", Mr. Bohne,
please just take for granted that I mean "first official contact with
present day humanity".
You have probably deduced by now that there have been many, many first
unofficial contacts and even several first official contacts with past
societies.
We have been careful to erase most of the evidence of this, but not Too
careful. G

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz boring saucerhead gaga.

Or that one: what's so important about the public acceptance of aliens
on this planet?

You really need to ask this?
Okay, the containment factor alone ought to impress somebody.
Right now just a few of you know about seans.
So there are several (meager) attempts made by other humans to blow away
your planet each weak.
And there is about one serious attempt every month (this has grown from
every two months just ten years ago).
Public awareness would curtail much of this silliness.
And our job would get easier.

Now think about what public awareness would do for your important pasttimes
like religion and politics.
Consider what it would be like to really get to know and to befriend someone
who can travel to other stars, galaxies and clusters.

Public awareness has served your people well.
Things have a tendency to remain on the "up-and-up".

And last not least: what is there to gain from aliens who prefered to
stay hidden in the closet for most of our history?

C.

And my answer to this questions is: it's not even as important as
the results of last month's soccer games. .. It might be big news
for a day, and that's all there is to it. A trapped kitten or a bloody
murder-scene has much more news-appeal. Most people are not
interested in "aliens" of any kind.

This does not seem to be a problem to me.
Those who are interested will be tickled pink to see Betelgeuse up close.
A lot of those who are not interested will fast become interested.
Those who don't become interested will, for the most part, take their own
lives.

You have only to gain from us what we recently gained from our sister
galaxies.
The opportunity to learn, not just by sitting in a chair in front of a
computer, but by exploring firsthand up close and personal.
Everywhere we look there is something new to explore, Mr. Bohne.
We shall appeal most to those with fearless hearts of the explorer in each
and every one of you.
Swimmingly!
