Had GPT grab a few quotes from the article.

  1. "In the context of law with relation to extraterrestrial contact, we must consider moving toward identifying as one planetary species and developing a global consensus on how to respond in either scenario."

  2. "The current debate over UAP involves the question of whether the United States government or others across the world are in possession of craft and/or their crew of non-human origin."

  3. "There is a need to reach a baseline of mutual understanding about the issues that will need to be determined in the event of contact."

  4. "We need to analyze the problems arising from the potential for hostile contact based on the principles of humanity’s inter-human international and domestic law and how they can be applied to an interspecies conflict."

  5. "If there is anything the UAP debate teaches us, it is that humanity cannot afford to wait much longer before we begin to proactively address the conundrum of eventual contact with an alien species."

Identifying as one planetary species:

Okay but whose values do we adopt and how do we get everyone on board?

It’s going to be another war. That’s the only thing that makes me wonder if they’re using this all (while it’s still a real phenomenon) as a false flag for their own benefit.
