The Original Requests

First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization will be a revelatory experience. However, we cannot be overwhelmed by the enormity of such a revelation. We must remember that in First Contact situations between humans, the less technologically advanced society usually doesn't fare well. We need to be cautious and protective at every step in the new relationship with extraterrestrial beings.

Moving slowly and questioning every decision isn't just prudent, it is the only way to protect our world. The extraterrestrials could have perfectly good intentions. There is still danger in everything from information overload to civil unrest.

We must make immediate requests of any visitors. They should include:

-No use of stealth or cloaking technology for any space or aircraft in Earth atmosphere or our solar system.
-No craft visiting Earth without permission.
-No contact with other humans without approval of the United Nations or assigned governing body.
-A promise of non-interference in Earth governments and other social systems.
