Now that NASA don't have the space shuttles to play with it seems they are going to indulge in wild speculation about how Aliens may be reacting to the Human Race.

This seems a highly comical report which veers from the theory that the galactic club may just be too beauracratic and boring to join right through to aliens are going to eat us as a pre-emptive strike to save our planet and other civilisations. To think that humans, with all the galaxies secrets at our disposal, would simply not do the paperwork because we are too busy cooking eggs displays a particularly rushed and shallow thought process.

I assume governments were thinking about, maybe even preparing for the possibility of contact but to release a report like this seems a bit odd. Didn't anybody in the office say "Hang on lads, let's keep this one to ourselves a for a bit" ?
