I suspect I am not the only person who saw "First contact made" at the top of HN and for one brief, shining moment lived in a far more interesting Universe.

- komali2 8y agoThis has happened to me here and there on various aggregators over the years, and every time I get the goosebumps, and ride it out without fully reading the headline all the way, letting myself imagine, think "yeah, this is probably how I'd find out about it!" To me it would feel like discovering magic, or the existence of latent psychic abilities in humans. A reality shattering event.
- wolco 8y agoSomething tells me Trump would be the most unlikely so most likely person to start disclosing. I feel psychic abilities will be a breakthrough in our lifetime. Time travel never. Communicating with the spirits or dead quite possible or completely foolish. Time will tell.
- ianai 8y agoIt’s a poor choice of words for any headline that isn’t contact with ET.

- bdamm 8y agoI hope an alien friend visits me at my deathbed.
- TheCoreh 8y agoYeah, my heart raced for a second before I read the full headline. Happy I'm not the only one. One day, it will be for real. Hope that I'm still alive to witness that.
