NEW YORK , July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- "A historical event just happened before our eyes," announced Daniel Turcotte , Raelian Guide and leader of the Embassy for Extraterrestrials Project sponsored by the Raelian Movement. "Diplomats and Foreign Affairs officials recently attended our first international online forum to learn from our experts all the steps required to officially welcome human beings from another planet."
"The main goal of this event was to inform diplomats and foreign affairs officials about this unique and ambitious project that could also bring wealth and scientific advancement to the hosting country," explained Turcotte. "We need to increase their level of awareness about the important issues of international law that should be resolved before any extraterrestrial contact is made."

Immune System of Humans, Other Mammals Could Struggle to Fight Extraterrestrial Microorganisms |
In a new study published in the journal Microorganisms , a team of researchers from the UK, the Netherlands and Germany tested how mammalian immune cells responded to peptides containing two amino acids that are commonly found in carbonaceous meteorites. The immune response to these alien peptides was less efficient than the reaction to those common on Earth.

No longer in the shadows, Pentagon's UFO unit will make some findings public - Baltimore Sun
Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and unidentified aerial vehicles.
Pentagon officials will not discuss the program, which is not classified but deals with classified matters. Yet it appeared last month in a Senate committee report outlining spending on the nation's intelligence agencies for the coming year. The report said the program, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, was "to standardize collection and reporting" on sightings of unexplained aerial vehicles, and was to report at least some of its findings to the public every six months.
How Many Aliens Are in the Milky Way?
In the 12th episode of Cosmos, which aired on December 14, 1980, the program’s co-creator and host Carl Sagan introduced television viewers to astronomer Frank Drake’s eponymous equation. Using it, he calculated the potential number of advanced civilizations in the Milky Way that could contact us using the extraterrestrial equivalent of our modern radio-communications technology. Sagan’s estimate ranged from “a pitiful few” to millions.
“That's just a very specific and strong assumption,” says astronomer David Kipping of Columbia University. “I don't see any evidence that that's a safe bet to be making.”
Quite a lot has been going on:
