For context: in his latest ploy to distract us from the Trump-Epstein files, Donald Trump has announced that he will declassify documents about UAP. This was done following buzz speculating that Barrack Obama had confirmed the existence of Aliens in an interview a week ago, but also matches sentiment Trump espoused on the Joe Rogan podcast during the 2024 presidential campaign.

My main thought is that it would be an awfully expensive use of space-petrol just to check out Planet Earth.

But, for fun: what would you ask or say to any aliens who had met diplomatically with the US government?

    I would love to ask and learn more about alien society and government. On Earth we have ~200 recognized countries with a wide variety of different (or similar) governments and even more different societies with all sorts of unique quirks.

    Do they have a similar setup on their planet? Planets? Were they historically ever similar to our own? How long is their recorded history?

    Basically if they’re visiting us, they’ve already proven they have better technology than we do, what else do they have that’s better? Or for that matter what do we have that’s better?

      We have better garlic alioli, they have better escape rooms. We have a better ocean, but they have better feather dusters
