Earth Defense against Bad Extraterrestrials

Miljenko Cemeljic

Life on Earth is allegedly the largest threat to itself: extraterrestrial influence, be it natural or as a consequence of conscious Alien action, is of too rare occurrence to out-weight the missteps we, humans, can do to harm our own environment. This said, it is with some naivety that we do not consider the eventuality of predatory Alien attack. Earth is a planet rich in resources, and as such, presents an ideal target for a resourcehungry civilization. While seemingly of little urgency, relevant planning and strategies should be outlined. This might help to avoid the fate we ourselves repeatedly inflicted on so many indigenous communities which were on the different level of technological development.
