But for this, political will is needed to respond to a signal from an alien civilisation,” said Martin TDominik, an astronomer at the University of St Andrews. “It makes sense to create a legally binding framework that is proper- ly rooted in international law.” Well, yes, it would make sense. But if the Bug-Eyed Monsters (BEMs) do send a message, would we really want to reply at all? BEMs, generally portrayed carrying off half-naked Earth maidens with evil intent, were a standard feature of pulp science fiction in the 1950s.

The specific reason for Prof Dominik’s remarks is a survey of public attitudes towards alien contact that was launched this month by London’s Royal Society and the UK SETI Research Network, MOIN QAZI but in broader terms, it is a response to two important develop- ments in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) that he Government is planning a mega occurred in 2015. revamp of the regional rural banks (RRBs) One was a debate at the American Association for the Tand that includes consolidation for better operational efficiencies.
