			On Oct 14, 2010, the day after the 
			reported Oct 13, 2010 UFO decloakings over New York City and other 
			areas of the world (as predicted by a former
			
			NORAD officer), Dr. Mazlan 
			Othman, Director of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs 
			(UNOOSA), 
			held a press conference at UN headquarters in New York and candidly 
			and spoke her mind on the extraterrestrial presence and 
			extraterrestrial contact.

			’Statistically, 
			extraterrestrial life is a possibility’   
			According to one
			
			news report,  
				
				“’Statistically, extraterrestrial 
				life is a possibility,’ Malaysian astrophysicist, Mazlan Othman, 
				told journalists in New York, where she is attending a General 
				Assembly meeting on cooperation in the peaceful use of outer 
				space.   
				“Othman says solar systems of 
				planets around stars are constantly being discovered and when 
				considering the billions of stars in space, ‘we could find 
				life,’ though when discussing extraterrestrial life, it is ‘not 
				always green aliens with large lovely eyes, but most likely 
				bacteria.’
 “The UNOOSA chief categorically denied recent press reports that 
				she had been appointed as Earth's ambassador for aliens should 
				they appear, asking ‘take me to your leader.’
 
				  
				British papers 
				covering a Royal Society meeting on outer space apparently 
				jumped to this conclusion when they discovered Othman's 
				participation in an expert panel discussion about 
				extraterrestrial life, contamination from space and other 
				concerns.
 “Othman concedes that she is not an expert on extraterrestrial 
				life, but points out that as space exploration improves, its 
				detection becomes more likely. She believes that the world must 
				come together to lay out a plan for how to cope with such a 
				discovery. She says it makes sense for the U.N. and its member 
				states to determine who should represent humanity if aliens come 
				to our planet.
 
 "UNOOSA is charged with promoting international coordination of 
				space exploration, satellites, and the tracking and development 
				of a unified response to threats from asteroids, meteors and 
				space debris. It also formulates laws and guidelines on the 
				peaceful use of outer space.
 
 "Though clearly flattered that her name has come up as a 
				potential representative of mankind to beings from outer space, 
				Othman says,
 
					
					'we are many years away from having a plan on the 
				ready,' for that possible ET encounter.  
				She chuckled when asked if by years 
				she meant light years."
