Presaging The Initial Open Contact with Extraterrestrials
By Dr. Raymond Keller
Careful consideration and great caution should be taken by the political authorities of Earth in our initial open contact with an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, whether it takes place on Earth or beyond our planet.
Canadian science fiction author Scott Mackay gives us a lot to think about as to how the initial phase of our contact with an extraterrestrial civilization might play out. In his 2008 novel, Omega Sol (New York, New York: Penguin Group), Mackay posits the arrival of a vast intelligence from the ends of the detectable universe on the perimeter of an American-built international lunar research station. Scientists attached there are stunned to witness the sudden appearance of a massive silver sphere that leaves destruction in its wake. Initially the visitors are seemingly indifferent to the human lunar colonists, one of which accidentally dies in getting too close to the alien craft, dubbed “Alpha Vehicle.”
An assessment of the Alpha Vehicle is then carried out by another of the scientists, Dr. Cameron Conrad, a.k.a. “Cam,” which results in him having established a psychic link with the sphere’s mysterious inhabitants, which have embedded their interstellar conveyance inside the walls of the Cavalet crater and have commenced to build an expanding array of towers for some unknown purpose. And from these towers, countless energy cells are deployed across the lunar terrain as well as the Earth, apparently conducting some kind of reconnaissance mission. From Cam’s extrasensory communications with the intelligence behind both the building of the towers and the dispatched energy cells, he comes to understand that this intelligence from deep space is both extraterrestrial and hyperdimensional.
Under the direction of the President and the Pentagon, the United States Air Force Orbital Operations Space Command on Earth dispatches Marine Corps Colonel Timothy Pittman to the Moon to take charge of an expeditionary force to engage with the alien presence there. Without disclosing too many spoilers, suffice it to say that this lack of patience on the part of the United States political and military authorities in attacking and trying to bring down one of the aliens’ towers, brings about dire consequences for the Earth itself.
Mackay’s epic sci-fi novel makes it plain that our first open contact with an advanced extraterrestrial/ultra-dimensional civilization will most likely be one whereby the aliens are so far ahead of us technologically that the analogy could be made that the visitors from the stars would be neither enemies nor friends, and might not even be aware of our existence as a factor to be reckoned with, simply viewing us as we might be ants that scurry about on a sidewalk at our feet. As Mackay puts it, the human population of Earth “wasn’t part of the overall equation under which they (the aliens) operated (page 120).”
Therefore, a more well-thought out and tempered response was required for humankind to announce its united presence to the extraterrestrials. No one nation should endeavor to initiate contact. A multinational team of scientists, linguists and diplomats would be needed to announce our presence and attempt to communicate our peaceful intentions in the first communication.
As Albert Einstein once declared, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.” There is no need for any one nation to monopolize contact. It should be a shared experience for the benefit of all humankind. This is why the ultimate UFO disclosure cannot be dictated by United States foreign policy directives. If any one nation were to usurp the disclosure, the motives of that country’s political and military elite would be suspect. The peoples of Earth would wonder what information was being held back, and for what purpose.
Jumping into our Wayback Machine and returning to the Byurakan Astronomy Conference in the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1964, we find that Russian astronomer Dr. Nikolai Kardashev anticipated just such a scenario of extraterrestrial contact. Kardashev created a scale for measuring a civilization‘s level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is capable of harnessing and using. His proposed measure has since come to be known as the “Kardashev Scale.”
Kardashev presented at a scientific meeting that reviewed the Soviet radio astronomy space listening program scanning the heavens for signs of intelligent life. His paper, “Transmission of Information by Extraterrestrial Civilizations,” outlined the Kardashev levels of civilizations to be encountered in outer space and began with a functional definition of civilization, based on the immutability of physical laws and using human civilization as a model for extrapolation. In his presentation, the Russian astronomer proposed a classification of civilizations into three types, based on the axiom of exponential growth:
- A Type I civilization (planetary) is able to access all the energy available on its planet and store it for consumption.
- A Type II civilization (stellar) can directly consume a star‘s energy, most likely through the use of a Dyson sphere.
- A Type III civilization (galactic) is able to capture all the energy emitted by its galaxy, and every object within it, such as every star, black hole, etc.
Of course, by these criteria it is obvious that human civilization comes nowhere approaching Type I status. This would require a planet-wide energy grid whereby resources are shared for the benefit of all humanity; and for this to occur, much more political and economic integration is required.
Kardashev, proposing this scale in the midst of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, speculated that as many civilizations began to experiment with nuclear energy, and ultimately fusion, they probably blew their planet to smithereens in the process. If this were true, then there would not be as many advanced star systems out there as cosmic evolution would allow for.
