Already Passed by Congress On October 5, 1982, Dr. Brain T. Clifford of the Pentagon announced at a press conference ("The Star", New York, Oct. 5, 1982) that contact between U.S. citizens and extra-terrestrials or their vehicles is strictly illegal.


According to a law already on the books: (Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, adopted on July 16, 1969, before the Apollo moon shots), anyone guilty of such contact automatically becomes a wanted criminal to be jailed for one year and fined $5,000. The NASA administrator is empowered to determine with or without a hearing that a person or object has been "extraterrestrially exposed" and impose an indeterminate quarantine under armed guard, which could not be broken even by court order.

THIS IS AMERICAN LAW. SO IF THEY AREN'T REAL LIKE THE GOVERMENT SAYS THEY AREN'T. WHY DO THEY NEED THIS LAW.

So if you're laying sound asleep in bed, and a UFO decides to abduct you and do some of those nasty probes, it's your fault, you go to jail. That's messed up. I think it would be worth a year in jail to go for a ride around the universe and maybe dimensional travel.

Actually if aliens landed we'd have every Bubba this side of the universe grabbing their shotguns and bowie knives and going ET huntin....
prob one reason they don't land. I just know that someone somewhere would look at one and say, "Dam, bet they make good eatin". wink2.gif

What's "guilt by occasion"?

Sorry officer I had the occasion to go hang out with the alien dude and take a spin around the milkyway. I'm guilty, take me to jail. wink2.gif

Its when... if you go out with friends in his car. You didn't know the car was stolen but if your friend is caught with it you are charged with the same crime. So if the aliens come to you then your seen as brakeing the law with him by coming in contact.

So basically, it's against the law for aliens to come to earth, and if they do, they're breaking the law. And if you're caught hanging around with them, you've broken the law as well. That's still messed up.
Wonder if there's a prison inside a mountain somewhere in Nevada, for aliens? wink2.gif

If you look into the law properly, rather than just a stupid knee jerk reaction, you'll see that it isn't so mysterious after all:

1211.100 Title 14 - Aeronautics and Space
Part 1211 - Extra-terrestrial Exposure

1211.100 - Scope

This part establishes: (a) NASA policy, responsibility and authority to guard the Earth against any harmful contamination or adverse changes in its environment resulting from personnel, spacecraft and other property returning to the Earth after landing on or coming within the atmospheric envelope of a celestial body; and (cool.gif security requirements, restrictions and safeguards that are necessary in the interest of national security.

1211.101 - Applicability

The provisions of this part to all NASA manned and unmanned space missions which land or come within the atmospheric envelope of a celestial body and return to the Earth.

1211.102 - Definitions

(a) "NASA" and the "Administrator" mean, respectively the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or his authorized representative.

(cool.gif "Extra-terrestrially exposed" means the state of condition of any person, property, animal or other form of life or matter whatever, who or which has:

(1) Touched directly or come within the atmospheric envelope or any other celestial body; or

(2) Touched directly or been in close proximity to (or been exposed indirectly to) any person, property, animal or other form of life or matter who or which has been extra-terrestrially exposed by virtue of paragraph (cool.gif(1) of this section.

For example, if person or thing "A" touches the surface of the Moon, and on "A's" return to Earth, "B" touches "A" and, subsequently, "C" touches "B", all of these - "A" through "C" inclusive - would be extra-terrestrially exposed ("A" and "B" directly; "C" indirectly).

© "Quarantine" means the detention, examination and decontamination of any persons, property, animal or other form of life or matter whatever that is extra-terrestrially exposed, and includes the apprehension or seizure of such person, property, animal or other form of life or matter whatever.

(d) "Quarantine period" means a period of consecutive calendar days as may be established in accordance with 1211.104 (a).

1211.108 Violations

Whoever willfully violates, attempts to violate, or conspires to violate any provision of this part or any regulation or order issued under this part or who enters or departs from the limits of a quarantine station in disregard of the quarantine rules or regulations or without permission of the NASA quarantine officer shall be fined not more that $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.


Its actually about comtamination from "celestial bodies". In fact, before going on space missions, it wouild be dumb not to have laws about such things. Insurance policies mention "acts of God". This doesn't mean God exists.

"The "Extraterrestrial Exposure" law was removed from the CFR in 1991, NASA having determined that it had "served its purpose" and was "no longer in keeping with current policy," and is no longer in force." Source listed above

That is the last thing it says...oh yea..its Extraterrestrial booty time...

It's actually 'guilty by association.' Being associated with someone. An occasion is an event or occurance.

Interesting law though. original.gif
