To The Editor:

In view of the recent announcement that someone will speak to space aliens for the world of Earth, if they appear: I am encouraged that all of the UFOs being reported may be given some attention. The astrophysicists seem to be concerned about alien germs more than about how they view our self destructive way of living.

Gee folks just think, one person is to be called if an extraterrestrial creature comes down to talk. What are we supposed to do, offer them a hamburger and Coke and say wait just a minute we are calling Mrs. Othman in from Malaysia? Here is part of the story By Heidi Blake: Published Sept. 26 at Telegraph.co.uk.

“Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, is set to be tasked with coordinating humanity’s response if and when extraterrestrials make contact. Aliens who landed on earth and asked: “Take me to your leader” would be directed to Mrs. Othman. She will set out the details of her proposed new role at a Royal Society conference in Buckinghamshire, (UK), next week. The 58-year-old is expected to tell delegates that the proposal has been prompted by the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting other stars, which is thought to make the discovery of extraterrestrial life more probable than ever before.” (and so on)

So just for Lehigh Acres, I am proposing that I be appointed by a committee of astrophysicists here to be the official greeter for Lehigh Acres since I am the first to announce for the job.

In the interim please call me if you see an alien stepping down from their UFO and I will pick up a sack at McDonalds and come right over.

Maybe they will see our welcome sign and drop in.
