It seems more like they are no longer holding "open to the public" events, and only "catered lunches", etc or meetings where they can charge people...seems to me like covert fundraising and silencing the people and whatnot.

(goes off to explore)
<15 minutes on google>
Ah...and the REST of the story (which of course, The Guardian won't report)---
While shouldn't be surprising that (somewhere) there *might be* a contingency plan on what *might* happen in an alien encounter...but this, I think, isn't it. The lead author is a PhD student at Penn State, and the secondary author has his PhD from school , and the 3rd guy gotlhis PhD is from the same schoolalso.
The "report" was actually a scientific paper written for a specific scientific journal (Acta Astronautica ), whose goal is to publish "original contributions in all fields of basic, engineering, life and social space sciences and of space technology related to: the peaceful scientific exploration of space, its exploitation for human welfare and progress and the conception, design, development and operation of space-borne and Earth-based systems."
From the second author's blog:
From the first person's website (in-text links are on his website):
My paper Would contact with extraterrestrials benefit or harm humanity? A scenario analysis is discussed in a new article in The Guardian, Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists. Unfortunately, the article's standfirst (sub-headline) initially erroneously referred to the article as "a report for Nasa". This is false. The article was not in any way prepared for or sponsored by NASA. Instead, it was a spare-time project of three researchers, one of whom happens to be a NASA employee (Shawn Domagal-Goldman; the other researchers are Jacob Haqq-Misra and myself). For further information, please read Shawn's response, Some important points of clarification.*
As written by the third author:
So basically...slow news day. And once again, media goes for sensation and false reporting, instead of news.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible
