I am sure the Pentagon and NASA have a plan if a "moon-sized" object with a deliberate orbit suddenly appeared in the night sky or was detected by a space telescope or an amateur astronomer using Mars as a gravity boost.

What would be more amusing if they were coming here to live underwater.

The plan probably is about communication channels and who decides what, and what not to do, more than what to do. Regardless of the content, I'm very sure it's not going to be followed, even if it did exist.

That plan better have an up-to-date phone number for Mr Freeman.

Thinking about this, sending a celebrity rather than a politician/religious/military is probably a good idea.

If they came with amazing techno/bio offerings would we look at them as an invasive species or accept their "blankets" and "firewater" as friendship gifts?

I hope we choose to view them as invasive species.
