Merged Their Return

Olympic medals:

"-Gold and silver medals are 92.5% silver.
-Gold medals must be plated with at least 6 grams of gold.
-All Olympic medals must be at least 3 mm thick and at least 60 mm in diameter."

That sounds like shinny precious metal to me?

Shinny? Shin-like? I'm fascinated,do feel free to expound.
 
Well HOPEFULLY they 'get' the spirit of the Olympics, and leave the guns behind. The idea is to compete through physical 'sport', rather than intimidation through arms.

I mean, we ARE offering up our planet's precious metals as rewards...?

"Hey, run faster than our fasted human, and we'll give you something shiny."

Sounds like a good time to me...

Hunting is also a sport, isn't it?

"Hey, let's hunt and eat the humans! The largest specimen goes to the taxidermist to become a trophy!"
May sound like a good time to "them".

Not to mention they may want to change the targets in the sports which involve bows, arrows, darts and guns.

Are you willing to take the risk, since you can only hope they will be friendly?

Another question- How do you plan to convince the folks in charge of the olympics that UFOs are real, piloted by some sort of alien intelligence which has been labelled as gods in the past and might want to land?
 
Then I think we'd better get to work on individual forcefield technology...

No.

It's pointless to even try.

If [whatevertheyarethatatern'ttobecalledaliens] have the technological capabilities that people like yourself often attribute to them... interstellar space travel, undetectable sub-surface ocean dwelling, at-will butt probing and cattle mutilating tech, etc... then we're completely at their mercy.

We, the human race, could not even begin to defend ourselves against [whatevertheyarethatatern'ttobecalledaliens] who have mastered FTL space travel. Our current level of space travel amounts to little more than... PLACE ON GROUND. LIGHT FUSE. GET AWAY.

If a race of [whatevertheyarethatatern'ttobecalledaliens] who possess a FTL travel level of technology wants to show up, bend us over and give us the business... then we are bent over and getting the business PERIOD. We may as well be armed with pointed sticks for all the good our pop guns and bottle rockets will do us.
 
So, is anyone at all interested in assisting me in creating an internet petition to the Olympic Committee, to add "a moment skyward" to the Opening Ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics?

---

I could also use a little help wording the actual petition:

To the Olympic Committee:

We, the undersigned, do hereby request that "a moment skyward" be added to the Opening Ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics, as an open invitation to the 'god(s) of the heavens'- witnessed by so many throughout the ages, to descend once again.


You know, I haven't read through this thread yet, but after reading this post I'm pretty sure it's not worth wasting my time.
 
Well, I certainly won't be signing on to that petition, for reasons abundantly explained here. The very first step in this process has failed: that of persuading anyone at all that anything you propose is worthwhile or based on anything but delusion. The wording of the petition itself will be misunderstood by a vast number of people as a call to prayer to gods other than the [whatevertheyarethatwecan'tcallaliens]. Some will likely see it as heretical or blasphemous, and many will interpret it as an unwarranted insertion of religion into a secular event. Ultimately, it will matter little to your likelihood of success whether you're taken for a religious crackpot or a UFO crackpot or both, or some as yet undefined sort of crackpot. Your failure will be pragmatically the same.
 
So, lets pretend for a moment that all the anecdotes ARE accurate, that history IS a depiction of gods descending from the heavens, and that this is what people are seeing when they witness a U.F.O. The debate is over they exist.

The question is how do we make contact, or otherwise 'invite' them back, so we can all meet face to face?

I propose we invite them to the opening ceremonies at the next Olympics. In my exuberant youth, I came to the conclusion that they would show up, just as soon as most of the world was looking at one place... Digitally speaking, we are almost capable of focusing global attention on a singular spot.

How else would one go about reaching out to them?

Does anyone know if the large pictograms worked out for the Nazca?

How should we, as the human race, reach out?

That's one of the big problems with these theories: they don't say how you could produce hard evidence for them even if they were true.

Hunting isn't a sport unless you are hunting bear with a knife.

I'll let history convince them that 'heavenly agents' are real.
 
I thought one of the most basic premises of religion was that it wasn't a good idea to demand anything of god(s) or to challenge them in any way.
The Olympics strive to be inclusive and not motivated by religious or political beliefs (not always succeeding) and if the committee agreed to your proposal, thay would probably feel duty bound to also have a singalong and hand clapping of "Cum bay Ah", a mass silent meditation for Buddha and a strict Salah for Muslims amongst catering for all the other various religions. At the end of which, everyone would no doubt be battling over who's god was the biggest and best and any Gods who were watching would despair and probably not want to get involved in any way.

They'd nuke us from orbit, that's the only way to be sure.

If you consider hunting driving to a tree stand and waiting, I suppose not. If you ride a kayak out in the dark after birds, or trek through the mountains with everything you need for three days on your back...?

Virgins! Aliens like virgins.

You're gonna try and pass off plated metals as gold? Just how hi tech are these aliens?

History hasn't done this, and your continued silence on any evidence affirms that.

You haven't ever convinced a single person of your belief in Aliens, what makes you think you can convince an Olympic committee
;)

There's something moving and it ain't us
:p

Hunting is not a sport? It may not be an olympic sport, but it is still a sport. Same with fishing.

How can you be sure "they" will not hunt humans for sport?

Or use humans as targets in olympic sports wich involve guns, darts, arrows and bows?

Why do you think "they" will care about gold or silver plated metals?

Why do you think "they" will land if everibody looks at the sky?

Why do you think your highly questionable interpretation of bits of history, ancient art and myths is correct and will be shared by the folks in charge of the games?
 
I can't force myself to wade through 11 pages of this, so sorry if this has been asked already, but...

Let's assume for a moment that this did actually happen—that we had a "moment skyward," and whaddaya know, the aliens actually did descend, and turned out to be friendly and didn't immediately begin exterminating us. This would bring an abrupt end to the Olympics, as well as to pretty much every other non-essential human endeavor on the planet except for dealing with the fact that friggin' aliens just landed. So why would the Olympic committee consider adding an activity whose only two possible outcomes would be A) to waste time and make them look silly, or B) to cancel the thing they've spent many billions of dollars and man-hours putting together?

Good point.

Maybe we should just etch e-freakin'-normous sky-birds on the desert floor somewhere, so they know that we know they are up there.

I suspect that would work.
