Tom Cruise? Do we want the first word from us to them to be ‘Got a spare girlfirend there Xenu?’ If TC was the first to have a close encounter he would not say “Welcome to our civilization of Earth.” Because he doesn’t believe he is of Earth – he’s a super Hubbard being saving the galaxies from body thetans trapped in the GE (genetic entity) over the whole track (75 trillion years – an aside that’s longer than existance as we know it).
So in essence I am all for sending up a scientist, teacher, member of the military with the complete expectation that they will have instructions on what to do should they have a close encounter.
Now bear in mind Hubbards teachings stipulate that there are between lives implant stations on Mars. And Musk is aiming for Mars and now we have a US Space fleet and none other than Tom Cruise headed to our frontier.
