I think 90% of the population on earth is not ready for open contact. What i do think however, is that people are ready for a governmental acknowledgement of contact. Something like the presidents of certain countries holding a press conference and announcing that there is or have been contact with extraterrestrials. But why would they do that? I don't think that a president is even aware of this information, and the army never hold random press conferences. What would be their motive to inform the public? I cannot find a logical one.
I think that in the coming tens of years (10-50) full disclosure will happen. Many people will not even care, like people who are struggling to survive everyday in 3rd world countries.
I think that ET civilizations don't come out in the open and reveal themselves without "our" confirmation is probably because they are highly intelligent and know that forcing themselves upon us could lead to mass fear and misunderstandings potentially harming out societal structure and economy. Many people will go crazy, commit suicide, buy everything or sell everything, etc... It is an act of de-stabalization simply because we are not ready yet. And those Hollywood movies depicting alien invasions aren't helping out either.
I feel that we have the right to know. But i also know that they will not allow themselves to be our "saviors". They have to allow us develop on our own. It is an advanced way of thought that we also have when thinking about endangered species for an example even though in recent years our methods of preservation have been more and more intrusive but for understand-able reasons since our acts of deforestation and the likes are very aggressive.
One thing that baffles me though, is why would an organization like NASA spend billions of dollars trying to prove that there is a sliver of a trace of water molecules on Mars. Why go this far when we have ET's at our doorstep performing open contact with the military forces and possibly sharing technologies? Maybe the information closure is really that strong that not even NASA knows about any of it.
I would really like to know how they get here from far galaxies. I don't believe that they are born through a human womb or whatever this is just too x-files like. But the scene of a spaceship landing and ET's stepping out of it to saying "we come in peace" will probably never happen. I think that if anything at all, an ET can be introduced in a press conference by the president of the US or something like that.
Anyway too much fear involved with the contact, and we are simply not ready.
And @Ashim: none of the people on this forum are ET's.
