So when you watch TV and the movies, you know aliens usually speak perfect English. DC Comics doesn't tell us how Supergirl learned English when she came to Earth at age 13.
The author of "How to Talk to an Alien" is Nancy du Tertre, former securities litigation attorney and "Skeptical Psychic," has written a book in which she asks" Do aliens exist? In 2013, one poll showed that nearly half of all Americans (48 percent) believe UFOs may be a sign of extraterrestrial visitation; another found that 10 percent of Americans claim to have actually witnessed an actual UFO; and yet another showed that 2.9 million Americans believe they had actually been abducted by aliens." Hmm, maybe David Jacobs is right about the number of abductions.
In any case, this book poses the question about how we'd communicate with ET should they make that massed landing. Would they be trained in communicating with us in English? Would they use telepathy? Or would they depend on some sort of universal translator, a la Star Trek? Or would it be left up to we Earthlings to sort things out?
The concept of dealing with possible alien visitations is fascinating, and I'm sure you'll have lots of questions for Nancy. To give the concept more credibility, the book has a forward by Stanton T. Friedman.
