Soft `Forced' Alien Disclosure - Fantasy Fiction

Let's have some fun today.

What would the `softest' actions be IF the `aliens' decided to introduce themselves to humanity - the `alien disclosure look' that would cause the least amount of panic? Wouldn't it be similar to what happened in NYC on October 13th, 2010? Simply an unexplained light in the sky that was PERSISTENT and over only ONE city?

However, instead of a one day signal - it would be a month long signal. And, instead of NYC, it would be Podunk nowhere.

Wouldn't such an approach allow the authorities to slowly introduce the world to the various possibilities of `alien intelligence' manifesting (and all that implies)? After all, it would be happening `elsewhere' to nearly all of humanity -except via the web. This would NOT be the `saucers over all major cities' imagination of science fiction writers. Eventually, most folks would get mighty tired of simply the same light being the lead story - bored even - especially if it was over a NON major city of the world. (That said, it would have to be over a city of some size level - something like a Kansas City or Cleveland perhaps.) And, certainly IF the light is not appearing to threaten - the worrisomeness of the event will also fade at least in the general public.

It hardly would be anything more than an amazing UFO flap - but would push the `wonder envelope' more than anything up to this point of humanity. The comparisons to the Bethlehem light would be obvious for the on going light source. Wonder will replace worry. And, after about a month, as interest was truly waning worldwide - and at which point the MSM had declared that it was `nothing of major interest' - at this point the `light' could change again into a `craft worthy of the introductory craft to a civilization' - perhaps something massive in scope - and begin beaming a welcome message to the world via all media and internet.

The buffer of the contact point will ensue. The `message' would be of peace and possible help and with a short window until the landing. (In the background, concerns rise about contamination and the weak immune systems of humans - could any contact begin a downfall.) Within 3 hours the craft could land in an area outside of the minor metropolitan area - but, close enough for complete local media coverage, with multiple official sources, without the population being or feeling threatened. And, without the time for the major MSM to return to cover the event.

Then, in what would feel like a slap in the face, the `aliens' would leave - after the undeniable contact in a ground landing beyond refute. Giving the needed jolt to the world.  Perhaps. Ideally, a message would be left or given - perhaps with bits of information to inspire or actually improve mankind's path. 

Something to worship that can first appear as a light in the sky. 

As Carlos Castaneda used to say for Don Juan - A cubic centimeter of chance.
