In the vast reaches of the universe, astronomers scour the stars for signs of life. One day, they might receive such a signal, a brief transmission from an extraterrestrial civilization. Then what?
Alien Contacts is likely to depend on how the contact is arranged, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of St Andrews argue that human society is ill-prepared for contact with aliens, and they have called for an international framework to be established to deal with the potential ramifications.
A framework could be created through the Breakthrough Initiatives, a philanthropic organization funded by billionaire Russian tech magnate Yuri Milner, the report notes. It would solicit ideas from around the world for a message to send to aliens and figure out how to send it. The effort, which would involve multiple countries, could launch next year.

Another possible approach is a physical message encoded in an object, like an asteroid or comet. But this method requires the sender to have a powerful antenna, the size of Earth, to make sure their signal is received. Moreover, it may be difficult to convey a complex message over such a long distance.
Our range of alien contact lenses is perfect for completing an alien, sci-fi or horror look. From the classic big bald head, green skin and bulging black eye depiction of pop culture aliens to more unique alienoid designs, our alien lenses are available with round or vertical pupils. They are great for cosplayers, movie buffs, conspiracy theorists and trick or treaters.
