National Security Reactions to Citizen Diplomacy with Extraterrestrial Civilizations

A key aspect in the secrecy over visiting extraterrestrial civilizations has been the degree to which key national security agencies in the U.S. and elsewhere, have controlled information and monopolized resources devoted to extraterrestrial affairs.[28] This control by key national security agencies suggests that the initial response by such agencies to ‘track two galactic diplomacy’ initiatives by Earth citizens would be regarded either with extreme suspicion or outright opposition. To a degree, the anticipated response by shadow government controllers of extraterrestrial information would parallel the initial response by foreign policy professionals and diplomatic community to the emergence of citizen diplomacy in international affairs in the early 1980’s. As noted earlier, this shifted from outright skepticism and dismissal, to eventual recognition and cooperation. The response to ‘citizen diplomacy’ by shadow controllers of extraterrestrial affairs is likely to follow a similar pattern.

The official reaction to citizen diplomacy with extraterrestrials is likely to be influenced by four challenges:

1. The extent of private communications and interactions with extraterrestrials by ‘Earth citizens’.

2. The willingness of the shadow government to use its coercive resources to suppress ‘citizen diplomacy initiatives.

3. The degree to which extraterrestrial civilizations might manipulate unsuspecting humans to destabilize national security agencies for ‘unfriendly’ extraterrestrial agendas.

4. The implications of agreements reached through ‘citizen diplomacy with extraterrestrials. I will now examine each of these challenges and how they impact on citizen diplomacy with extraterrestrials before finishing with some concluding remarks.

The Extent of Private Communications and Interactions with Extraterrestrial Races

Ever since George Adamski co-wrote, The Flying Saucers Have Landed, in 1954, where he detailed his extraordinary meeting with an extraterrestrial, Orthon, there has been a succession of private citizens who have claimed to have been contacted by extraterrestrial races. All describe extensive communications and interactions with the extraterrestrial visitors.[29]
