Project SIGMA intercepted alien radio communication. When the objects reached
the Earth they took up a very high orbit around the equator. There were several
hugh ships, and their actual intent was unknown. Project SIGMA, and a new proje-ct, PLATO, through radio communications using the computer binary language, was
able to arrange a landing that resulted in face to face contact with alien
beings from another planet. Project PLATO was tasked with establishing diplomat-ic relations with this alien race of space aliens.

In the meantime a race of human-looking aliens contacted the U.S. Government.
This alien group warned us against the aliens that were orbiting the Equator andoffered to help us with our spiritual development. They demanded that we disman-tle and destroy our nuclear weapons as the major condition. They refused to
exchange technology citing that we were spiritually unable to handle the techno-logy which we then possessed. They belived that we would use any new technology
to destroy each other. This race stated that we were on a path of self-destruct-ion and we must stop killing each other, stop pollutung the Earth, stop raping
the Earth's natural resources, and learn to live in harmony. These terms were
met with extreem suspicion, especially the major condition of nuclear disarmame-nt. It was believed that meeting that condition would leave us helpless in the
face of an obvious alien threat. We also had nothing in history to help with thedecision. Nuclear Disarmament was not considered to be in the best interest of
the United States. The overtures were rejected.
