ETI 已经靠近地球了， either in the form of drones, UAPs, or UFOs—whatever you prefer to call them. That is the premise of the Contact Project. The proposal is therefore simple: instead of broadcasting a pinpointed message to a potential civilization far, far away, we can use simple, inexpensive, and widely available omnidirectional antennas to invite communication from objects or phenomena in Earth orbit. Moreover, this effort should not be limited to a short period of time; it should be sustained and undertaken with the broad agreement of all nations.
The message might resemble the following:
“银河系中的灯塔：阿雷西博卫星为潜在的 FAST 和 SETI 项目提供的最新信息” https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.04288作者：Jonathan H. Jiang、Hanjie Li、Matthew Chong、Qitian Jin、Philip E. Rosen、Xiaoming Jiang、Kristen A. Fahy、Stuart F. Taylor、Zhihui Kong、Jamilah Hah、Zong-Hong Zhu。
A potential ETI is, of course, capable of decoding any human transmission we are already broadcasting, but the point is to address ETI directly, acknowledge their presence, and actively seek contact.
Demonstrating such openness would prove humankind’s readiness for contact. By doing so, we would not be giving away anything new—such as our position—beyond what we already broadcast. It would simply be a friendly hello.
