2. A unique and ambitious tourist opportunity!

it’s safe to say that the embassy of the extraterrestrials will not only draw more visitors than any site listed in the previous section, but more than all of them put together. In regard to tourism and economic potential, our study indicates that even without the arrival of an extraterrestrial diplomatic mission, the Embassy for Extraterrestrials, an associated scientific institute, and facilities for visitors and tourists will generate at least three million visitors a year.

Our Humanity will also be readier to welcome the extraterrestrials when we have a better understanding of all of the great scientific principles. Within the next 20 years or so, the number of new scientific discoveries will increase tremendously, until humanity reaches a level of understanding in which every principle is known. This predicted watershed moment for mankind is called “ the technological singularity ” by the many scientists who share that vision of our scientific progress. (1) According to recent predictions, technological singularity will occur during the next 20 years.By then, many people will understand how human beings were created and by whom. Hopefully, that awareness will help hasten the arrival of a delegation from this extraterrestrial civilization. Our target is therefore completion and full operation by 2030! (see page 13).

14 Astronomical evidence

First, a bit of perspective: our sun is but one among a literally countless number of stars. A recent study at Australian National University tallied the number of stars at 70 sextillion (70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). Astronomy continues to make major discoveries, to the extent that there are now scientists who entertain theories of an infinite universe and of parallel universes (1). Given this knowledge, we now know and our planet are compared to the (6) Some of these discoveries are that our solar system – our sun and size of the observable universe . baffling and cannot be explained its planetary entourage – is far from With continuing technological by today’s science, for example the being an anomaly in the universe. advancement, it’s most likely that suspected alien megastructure (or Indeed, stars with orbiting planets we’ll find additional Earth-like Dyson Sphere) that orbits the star may be closer to the rule than the planets with conditions suitable KIC 8462852 – “ Boyajian’s star ” – exception. for life – including intelligent life.

15 Supporting Evidence of Extraterrestrial Presence

1. Extraterrestrial On the plains of Nazca, south of Lima, Peru, a series of straight lines evidence run across the ground for miles. From the air, they appear to be in ancient times ancient landing strips for aircraft, Around the world, the traditional since they are extremely difficult texts, cultural artefacts and legends to see from the ground. Assuming of ancient civilizations contain that the pre-Incan cultures didn’t abundant evidence of contacts use them themselves for landing between extraterrestrials and the purposes, the logical conclusion is people of Earth. Traces of many that these astounding lines could such encounters still exist today. have been used by the aircraft of a highly advanced extraterrestrial race. What’s more, who created the incredibly intricate gargantuan figures among the perfectly straight lines? And why? They can be seen only from the air.

Birds, monkeys, lizards, insects, a giant spider and fish – and even what appears to be a suited astronaut figure – are all depicted. More recently (November 2019) researchers announced the detection of 143 new geoglyphs on southern Peru’s Nazca plain. They are meticulously drawn in the ground on a huge scale, yet are visible only from a great height. Scientists say these land carvings, covering an area of 60 square miles, were constructed as long as 15 centuries ago, before the formation of the Incan empire. Charles Berlitz points out in his book “ Mysteries from Forgotten Worlds ” that the message in these prehistoric drawings “ finds an echo in an ancient Peruvian legend about the goddess Orejona landing in a great ship from the skies ”. In other words, Orejona could be interpreted as an extraterrestrial being landing in a spacecraft.

16 Many religious texts and paintings contain abundant references to UFOs, which have been sighted throughout the ages. Prehistoric Above: This fresco, entitled “ The 2. UFO sightings evidence has even been found in the Crucifixion ”, was painted in 1350 work of ancient cave artists.

17 3. Crop circles

Crop circles are those strange, often circular shapes that are sometimes found in grain fields in the morning. Until recently, the origin of these “ agroglyphs ” was a mystery, and their increasingly complex shapes challenged all mainstream scientific hypotheses

Although eyewitness accounts can be traced back to the 14th century, it is only since the early 1980s that crop circles have started to attract public attention. When this phenomenon was noticed and described for the first time, these surprising formations in wheat Decades later, thousands of fields took the form of modest, formations have been reported simple circles just a few metres in throughout the world, some diameter. of them extremely complex and geometrically exact. They represent mathematical equations, astronomical bodies and alignments, religious symbols, animals and even forms. Moreover, most are now much larger in scale than the earlier versions, with some up to 700 metres long and the area of the largest measuring about 4,000 square metres. They are drawn with surgical precision that defies mainstream explanations.

18 Nevertheless, it is difficult to say Our explanation is that crop circles are a thought-provoking strategy aimed with 100 percent certainty whether at preparing us for official contact by an extraterrestrial civilization. These or not a crop circle is genuine. short-lived agrarian art works force people to speculate on the of the Some have irregular borders with authors, whose intent is to familiarize them with the presence of external ragged edges and broken and/or observers and prepare them psychologically for official and peaceful uneven stalks that suggest human contact. intervention, but many formations are so precise, large and complex This astonishing crop circle, with that it would seem impossible for the face of an extraterrestrial and a anyone – even a practiced team – to disc containing an encoded make them in one night. message, appeared in Crabwood near the town of Winchester in , England. The message on the disc has been decoded and reads: Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. BELIEVE. There is GOOD out there. We Oppose DECEPTION. (1) (2)

In 1974, a message was beamed into space from the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. The message contained information about Earth and humanity.
