      I like how the New York Times now regularly publishes articles suggesting that the earth is being visited by space aliens & no one really cares because other stuff is going on.pic.twitter.com/5Z5KawyNHe

      Was there ever a science fiction story where first contact with space aliens was news item that ran on A10 of the paper?

          People trying to make money convinced the federal government to search for “anomalies” that matched our preconceived (SciFi-based) ideas of ET. No surprise they found some. Let the nonsense ensue. Pure nonsense.

          If and when ET comes it won’t be a UFO whizzing back and forth as a radar blip. It won’t be an “unidentified material” that is obviously of terrestrial origin. It will be unexpected because we have no way of predicting what ET might be like.

          I wondered what would happen if they arrived with Italy under lockdown, because Earth's designated spokesperson lives there.

          This seems close to the joke from MIB with the tabloids.

          As I recall, C M Kornbluth's "The Silly Season" has something like your page A10 scenario.

          People were flipping their shit about "alternate universes" being found on Antartican Neutrino experiments a month or so ago. There would be certainly more hubbub about this ifr there was more meat here,

          A former Senator saying he thinks they're real seems pretty meaty to me
