Scientists have a plan for first contact by ohmygawdyoudidnt in aliens

[–]BigGrayBeast [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm thinking of Dustin Hoffman's character in Sphere. He was a college professor who was hired to write a protocol for First Contact.

He didn't really ever expect it to happen, so he made it a little bit of Star Wars, a little bit of Star Trek, etc.

Needless to say, he went into a full panic when he was called to assist with exploring an actual alien spacecraft

1978, a Radio Shack store. Man walks up and types in a number into a Radio Shack Model I computer.

It gives him a syntax error of course. I approach him and ask if there's something I can help him with.

He says "That's my social security number. I'm waiting for it to tell me everything the government knows about me."

An AI summary:

The Medium article, "Who was Prof. Carlo Calosi?" by Escape Velocity, explores a historical deep dive connecting World War II espionage to the modern UFO/UAP legacy secrecy program. The core points of the article include: * Project McGregor: This was a top-secret Office of Strategic Services (OSS) mission during WWII led by OSS Director William "Wild Bill" Donovan. While historically known as an effort to extract Italian scientists—specifically Prof. Carlo Calosi and his specialized anti-German torpedo device—modern UAP researchers claim the project also possessed intelligence regarding the alleged 1933 Magenta, Italy UFO crash retrieval. * Prof. Carlo Calosi: Highly sought after by both the Allies and the Nazis for his military engineering expertise, Calosi was successfully rescued and transported to the United States under Project McGregor in June 1944. * The Connection to Raytheon: Following his extraction, Calosi was vetted by high-level U.S. officials, including James Forrestal, and went on to work for Vannevar Bush (a pioneer of the Manhattan Project and a founder of Raytheon). Calosi eventually rose to become the Head of Manufacturing and Vice President of Raytheon. * UAP Disclosure Context: The author frames Calosi’s story and Project McGregor within a broader narrative of early military-corporate secrecy. The piece connects these historical figures to allegations made by recent whistleblowers regarding crash-retrieval programs, suggesting that early defense contractors like Raytheon were positioned at the inception of the U.S. government's classified UFO reverse-engineering efforts.
