, expert on global catastrophes of Russian Transhumanist MovementVersion 0.912, 30 March 2010.
Abstract
In this article are discussed global risks – i.e. risks that could leadto the complete extinction of mankind, – associated with theproblem of UFOs. Although the author is on 90 per cent sure thatthe UFOs are some common phenomena, the remaining 10percent are forced him to consider these risks seriously. In thepaper is suggested almost complete list of possible hypothesesexplaining the nature of UFOs, including a number of newhypotheses (crown discharge around human body, ships fromother dimensions covered by the shell of liquid metal, aliennanorobots, conspiracy of suppressed unconscious parts of self,parasites-symbionts from unknown forms of matter, bugs andviruses in the Matrix, etc.) and assessed the reliability of each of the hypotheses and the risk that relates to it. I consider severalfactors of global risk that may be associated with UFO(intelligence, energy, specific form of toxicity, informationaleffect, global power), based on observational data. The work isintended for a wide range of readers, as well as for anyoneinterested in existential risks.
This work does not reflect the official position of theRussian Transhumanist Movement, or of any other organizationand is only my personal research. Permalink:

The risk is that once we meet an unidentified object, we do not knowwhat to expect, and in our model of the world appear puncture. Once the object isunidentified, we do not know what to do with it. Whether it is an exaggeratedresponse, firing guns on a flock of birds, or if it is ignored, assuming alien ship acloud of swamp gas. Most accidents occur when the model of the world is verydifferent from reality, which leads to erroneous decisions. Unidentified object of anykind means a malfunction in the model of the world, which increases the probabilityof disaster................................................................................................................. 16
