NASA and Aliens

(Anonymous) 2022-02-14 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Does anybody have any ideas what sort of checklists NASA would run in the event of an actual sapient alien contact with the ISS or crew launch vehicle. I'm writing a story, and just want a vaguely realistic set of procedures for the scenario. I know that NASA says it has no official guidelines, but those guys have checklists for everything, so I'm just gonna assume that that was a lie to stop a tonne of little green men style headlines.

I have no idea but I'm sure some of it would include verifying level of sentience, purpose of visit, (knowing the USA, an ambassador of culture should be higher up, and would be tied up with the CIA) but then more technical scientific things that have to with alien biology & tech. Or maybe they have different departments that deal with each.

Idk, but I'd think the first thing that would freak aerospace engineers and scientists, and then everyone else, out, if aliens knocked on a window of the ISS and waved would be "how the fuck did they get so close without us noticing?"

My personal pet theory: they had help from the Autobot Mirage.

Or the Klingons. Seriously.

Jokes aside, either space aliens are very clever or extremely rare. Or shy.
