Interestingly we are now suddenly hearing about the Pentagon’s Immaculate Constellation program. This makes a lot of sense since its also well known the the ET's are getting more comfortable showing themselves and humans first action is not to just try and destroy them. Good luck with that anyways. Humans have a long ways to go to develop technology that could do that. Instead, opening up the channels of communication with peace and benevolence is the best choice.
