1. Revelation of the history
Have they been visiting Earth for many years, decades, or centuries? Or is this the very first trip? Are the UFO stories true? Are the alien abduction stories true? No matter what the case, human beings will want an honest reckoning of what contact has occurred previously and exactly what happened during that contact. There are too many wild stories out there for consideration. Perhaps all of the sightings and stories are false? The extraterrestrial greeting party will have to provide enough information to prove them wrong. If the stories are true they will have to provide some assurance that no unauthorized contact will occur ever again. Even with a full accounting, if previous contact has occurred it will be tough to build trust with human beings. If the tampering has involved medical testing or other forced scientific research on humans the revelation may be too much to overcome.
2. The nature of the President of the United States
No matter where First Contact occurs the government of the United States will be a primary concern for any visiting extraterrestrial group. The United States has the most advanced military in the world. How it responds to First Contact will be important. The President of the United States, as Commander in Chief, will bear much of the responsibility. Who is in that role will be critical. Can they handle the overwhelming scope of First Contact? Will they react dangerously? It would seem to have much to do with psychology and little to do with partisan politics, at least at the outset of First Contact. You would want a President with a calm response to crisis and an intelligence that could take in the enormity of First Contact and make rational decisions. Probably the best evidence of these abilities would be to evaluate Presidential Foreign Policy. Secondarily, an extraterrestrial group would also have to evaluate the Russian government and its leaders. They too have the military technology necessary to be dangerous in a First Contact scenario.
3. Will First Contact impede our development?
We have been evolving over the many centuries as beings and as members of an increasingly complex civilization. Would First Contact stunt this development? And if so, when would be an appropriate time to make contact? Scientific discovery could be the most important component of this consideration. Is there a point in our scientific and technological progress that would be best for First Contact? Is it too early? An explosion of new scientific information simply handed down to us could have negative consequences if we are not able to handle it properly. There is also the issue of sociological development. Are we ready as a civilization to handle First Contact? Is the United Nations powerful and organized enough to represent human beings? Should they wait until our world is more closely joined in government and culture?
4. Will our systems of world economy, world politics and world communication be able to handle the impact of First Contact? All of these would be severely stressed in a First Contact situation.
5. Can First Contact occur without creating panic, chaos and a dangerous response from individuals and governments?
6. What would we gain as a civilization from the revelation of First Contact? Would it help us or hurt us?
7. What would they stand to gain from First Contact?
This may be the most important consideration of all, at least from their perspective. Is this a scientific mission? A humanitarian mission? (pardon the language, whatever humanitarian would mean to an extraterrestrial) Perhaps it's a business mission to find natural resources? It could be a process that has been established after many such First Contacts with civilizations across the Universe.

THE DECAY OF ROSAT: The doomed ROSAT X-ray space telescope continues to descend toward Earth. Multiple experts agree that re-entry should occur on Oct. 23rd, with most favoring the early hours of the day. Decay time uncertainties exceed 8 hours, so it is still impossible to say exactly where ROSAT will disintegrate.Sky watchers say ROSAT is bright and easy to see, but photographers are having a hard time catching it. Dewey Vanderhoff tracked it over Cody, Wyoming, on Oct. 18th: "It was easily the fastest-moving satellite I have ever seen, being in such a low orbit and accelerating towards its doom. I barely got off a 'shotgun' 2-second exposure as ROSAT raced between Pegasus and Pisces (image)."On Oct. 16th, astrophotographer Thierry Legault trained his 14-inch telescope on the observatory, and this is what he saw:A video of the flyby may be found on Legault's web site. "The satellite looks very steady," he says, "there was no sign of tumbling or flares. Visually, ROSAT was crossing the sky so fast! I hope that it will give a nice fireworks over my place when it re-enters."Until then, sky watchers should be alert for a fast-moving light in the night sky. To catch ROSAT, check Spaceweather's Satellite Tracker for local flyby times. You can also turn your smartphone into a field-tested ROSAT tracker.UPDATE--ROSAT FLARES! Last night, multiple observers in California reported seeing a bright flash of light from ROSAT. "In addition to the satellite screaming thru the sky because of it's low altitude, it also displayed a short brilliant flare," says Derek Breit of Morgan Hill, CA. He caught the event in this 14 MB video:

"ROSAT was 3.2 seconds earlier than expected. The magnitude was around 0 with a short-duration flare to perhaps magnitude -6 to -8, comparable to brightest Iridiums. Flare peak was very short duration -- under a second -- more of a flash."http://www.spaceweather.com/
DOOMED GERMAN SATELLITE TO FALL TO EARTH THIS WEEKEND

A defunct German satellite is expected to fall to Earth this weekend, with experts predicting that up to 30 big pieces of the junked spacecraft could hit the planet. But exactly when and where the satellite will fall remains a mystery.
The 2.7-ton Roentgen Satellite, or ROSAT, will likely plummet to Earth on Saturday or Sunday (Oct. 22 or 23), according to the latest update from the German Aerospace Center.
"Currently, the re-entry date can only be calculated to within plus/minus one day," agency officials said in a statement. "This time slot of uncertainty will be reduced as the date of re-entry approaches. However, even one day before re-entry, the estimate will only be accurate to within plus/minus five hours."http://www.space.com/13353-falling-german-satellite-rosat-weekend-crash.html
AIR ">WHAT ARE THE ODDS YOU'LL GET STRUCK BY THE FALLING ROSAT SATELLITE?

* Ralf Vandebergh for SPACE.comThis exclusive image was made by Ralf Vandebergh, who said "it's false-color to increase certain visible contrasts. A very special detail visible is the shadow of the body (the telescope) on the solar panels! You can see the angle with the sun and the observer (me) as ROSAT passed not overhead but [at] 51.4 degrees northern latitude."
Not long after re-emerging en masse from our underground bunkers and panic rooms, having successfully avoided being squashed by a falling NASA satellite on Sept. 24, humanity has learned that the sky is falling yet again.
Another huge piece of space debris, a 2.6-ton, defunct German telescope called the Roentgen Satellite (ROSAT), will crash back to Earth Saturday or Sunday (Oct. 22 or 23), and the chances it will hit someone are even greater this time around.The odds are 1-in-2,000 that a chunk of ROSAT will strike a person. For the UARS satellite that fell into the southern Pacific Ocean in September, the odds were 1-in-3,200. According to Heiner Klinkrad, head of the European Space Agency's Orbital Debris Office, ROSAT poses a higher risk than UARS because more of its mass is expected to survive atmospheric re-entry and reach Earth's surface.
"The fact that the ROSAT re-entry risk estimate is higher than for UARS lies in the surviving mass, which, percentage-wise, is considerably higher for ROSAT than for UARS, and hence, the net mass reaching ground is higher for ROSAT than for UARS," Klinkrad told Life's Little Mysteries, a sister site to SPACE.com. "This is due to the ROSAT internal mirror assembly that is very resistant to [heat] during re-entry."
Track the falling ROSAT satellite in real-time
Typically, when a satellite crashes to Earth, only 20 to 40 percent of its mass survives; the rest burns up from heat generated by friction between the satellite and particles in the atmosphere, Klinkrad said. Because ROSAT's mirrors -- which collected X-rays and extreme ultraviolet light emitted by celestial objects -- resist heat, they reduce the percentage of the spacecraft that will burn up, and over half of the spacecraft's mass, about 1.7 tons of it, is expected to reach the surface.
According to scientists in NASA's orbital debris office at Johnson Space Center in Houston, calculating the risk of space debris hitting someone requires first working out how much debris makes landfall. Analysts then make a grid of how the human population is distributed around the globe. Oceans, deserts and the North and South poles are largely devoid of people, for example, whereas coastlines are brimming with them. In short, the analysts must figure out which patches of Earth have people standing on them.
Throwing in a few more minor details, such as the latitudes over which satellites spend most of their time orbiting - ROSAT will most likely fall between 53 degrees north and 53 degrees south latitudes - the scientists calculate how likely it is that a piece of space junk will strike the ground where a person happens to be. This time around, the odds are 1-in-2,000, and there's a one-in-several-trillion chance that not only will a person get hit, but that person will be you.Two dead satellites have crashed to Earth in as many months, after years of gradually getting dragged down to lower and lower orbits. More will re-enter the atmosphere in the future. With this in mind, you may be interested to know the overall risk of getting struck in a given year, or in your lifetime.

THE GNOMES
Perm Political unit, Russia - July 19 1989 - late night
As the view slept in her back-to-back she foolishly awoke feeling a weird totalitarian sentiment about her. She opened her eyes and saw a humanoid evaluate flexible down over her. The evaluate was fleeting, about 130cm, and looked densely at the view. The evaluate had a seedy wet wan facial complexion. It had whopping gloom supporter lower eyes. Heavy carcass folds obscured the head and person of the makeup. It had what appeared to be a thin facial hair and appeared to be long-standing. A minute humanoid now appeared neighboring to the first one. This one was moderately shorter and appeared younger, every one resembled erstwhile "gnomes". Each one information with floated urge from the bed and gone. At this platform what appeared to be a tennis bit abomination feel of light appeared in their depart. The feel consumed inwards the neighboring room and with flew out an opened skylight.

The view had redundant unconstrained to lie down on the leaves & cope with at the star-filled sky, seeing that he noticed three odd looking wet lights armed in an equilateral triangle, on the edge high very the area. He began concentrating his take care towards the lights, planning about the give rise to of extraterrestrial life. Swiftly one of the lights shot given away from the formation & began persuasive rather to the view.
The object, which now appeared to be saucer bent, before its improper turning and red lights on top & wet lights on the improper, hovered rapidly very the view, with landed downcast a secretive church. Candidly, a humanoid evaluate at least 12-feet tall appeared. The evaluate was accompanied by an odd looking intuitive described as a bothered in the midst of an ostrich and a buzzard. The giant humanoid was virtuous all in black, before arms and legs in lot in life to a human. Its head was care for a whopping ring, before no evident facial temperament. The being possibly will I imagine right to use the witness's take care & answered convinced of the view questions by lethargic his head. He claimed to be from a planet appearing in our galaxy & that it was looking for a depart to add to their "accumulation." Candidly the being ">MEMORY Misapprehend
Tujunga Defile, California - March 22, 1953 - 2:00 am
Sarah Shaw & Jan Whitley were staying in a remote cabin seeing that they woke to obtain all sounds unconstrained had ceased and a blue-white light persuasive unconstrained casting gloom on both sides of the battlements. Jan got out of bed with felt a dull pain and a notice of cool. A smack of giddiness and m?l overcame every one women whose breathing suggestion with lapsed until 4:20 am.
Lower hypnosis Sarah recalled that convinced beings approached the cabin and conceded straightforward a bunged skylight and the kitchen ticket. Eight cloak beings entered the cabin and placed their hands on the two women and I imagine took control over them. The beings were humanoids of natty be selected for, before indigenous shoulders and crave arms. Their carcass felt dry and formality. Their faces were indirect and blunt, unexciting if for the eyes, which were indigenous and crave and appeared obscured before a membrane. A ski contain seemed to cover their faces, departure holes for the eyes. They in the same way wore black skintight coveralls, mittens, and boots. Utmost of the beings were 5-feet tall and most of these had indirect heads. Evident had heads wider at the improper that at the top and were I imagine woman. Two taller beings appeared to be the leaders.
The beings took every one women inwards a on the edge Saturn-shaped craft, before a rim or frame about it. It glowed before mixed mean and ready a buzzing to a great degree. Sarah felt herself suspended inwards the craft on a brightness of light. She felt conciliatory, unafraid and equivalent enjoyed the incident. But Jan resisted the beings and she was rendered comatose by an vaccination and was carried intermediate. In a whopping arched room every one women were with furthest examined and scanned. In the repress a tall being directed the work from a balcony-like lounge on a wall. He wore a light colored complete before black stripes and his hands were performance, exposition pale flesh.

Williams Air Wrest Underside, Arizona - January 1976 - late night
A agreement look after last his rounds encountered a considerable strong-tasting red light on the edge very convinced vegetation practically a construction site. As he approached the site to exactly he was able to see a whopping on the edge saucer bent object before a swell on its center improper divide up. It was delimited by red light. As the view stirred rather to the object he heard a low whirring to a great degree and the object descended and landed on a tripod care for clothing. A flight of steps care for bulge descended towards the ground. As a result a evaluate appeared and began to ascend down to the ground. The humanoid was described as eight-foot tall, before crave lifeless arms a considerable torso and two befuddle care for legs. His face was crave and indirect bent, it had two whopping opening bent eyes. The view felt paralyzed as the makeup began persuasive towards him by means of high loping steps. The view felt a strong humming intermediate his control and smelled an trace touching on nasty seed.

Peeping REPTILIANS
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - January 1999 - late night
Eva Trent had fallen asleep seeing that she awoke to a droning to a great degree. Tear her eyes she was appalled to obtain two weird creatures pose on either side of her bed. The article to her put right was about 7-8-feet tall, weighed about 300 pounds, had I imagine no clothing and seemed to conduct either crocodile or wind type carcass. The makeup to her dead was be equal with in stop but minor in summit and weight. They seemed to be communicating in a chirping chic. Each of the entities eyes glowed. Eva tersely discovered that she was weak to move. As she stared at the two creatures she found that either one or every one were limber her orders telepathically. The kindly of this was I assume for her to figure rationally decorative scenes of mixed kinds and with "they" proceeded to bend that aspect clear scenery in a gloomy chic. Apparently the creatures were internee not unaccompanied to look over her heartfelt response, but in the same way maybe to encourage off the excitement that was shaped. At the back awhile Eva began to rationally fractious the core check and began to desire fervently. A fleeting time successive she crush urge to abstraction. The neighboring be born the view found 5 of her music tapes abhorrently fuzzy as if grand affection had been sound. Quiet no evidence of launch or trace was about.
