4.) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, “Rapid Defense against the next generation biothreat,” National Nuclear Security Administration, https://www-eng.llnl.gov/mic_nano/mic_nano_biothreat.html (Accessed November 30, 2007).

Bioengineered pathogens could become a serious threat to human health if ever released. The best defense available against such an attack would be to isolate the offensive pathogen as soon as possible and to take samples. These samples can then be used to identify, classify, and develop a treatment for the pathogen. This document provides instructions for top notch sample handling and preparation.

As War of the Worlds examples, pathogens that are natural to humans can have a devastating effect upon the nervous systems of extraterrestrials. Conversely, pathogens unknown to humans can produce like effects. Therefore knowledge of and a concrete plan of action for dealing with an occurrence of bioengineered threats could produce positive results in the event of alien attack. As mentioned above, this document provides instructions on the identification, handling, identification, and combating which most likely would be an adopted tactic of any invaders, as evidenced by our discussions of its usage in the current world situation.

This paper discusses the types of information that can be gathered from “outer space” and its value in regards to the evolution of life here on earth. The focus is upon either the presence or absence of certain chemicals which could have significance in the development of life. While previously (prior to December 7, 1959), the only available information was obtained by way of telescopic spectroscopy, new studies, particularly those involving the examination of meteoric material has lead to new insights. Presently, new information is reported herein concerning the presence of complex organic materials encased within the meteorites, some of which have appear to be uniquely pertinent to the formation of life.

In a return to the citation presented above, we have become aware that physiology and materials that produce adverse reactions in this format have the potential to cause great harm against a targeted population. Information concerning the potential physiology of potential opponents can be used to distinct advantage. This paper details the absence or presence of certain chemicals which could potentially be involved in the formation process of extraterrestrial life. Knowledge of the necessary components would provide us with opportunities to create tailored pathogens to combat opponents.

Physiology and chemical warfare appear to have become a focal point of this bibliography, and this and several more resources will provide additional instruction upon the matter. Here we find a multitude of toxic substances and their properties listed. The affects upon the health of humans are listed, but the effects that these substances would have upon extraterrestrial physiology are unknown at present.

8.) Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry, “Public Health Assessments and Health Consultations,” http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/hac/PHA/index.asp (Accessed December 1, 2007).

Provides a listing of all Superfund sites in the United States, and provides the public health assessment for each site. These assessments determine if people are currently risking exposure to hazardous substances. If they are, and the exposure is deemed to be harmful, it provides conclusions and recommendations for the reduction or stoppage of the exposure.

In the chaos that could result from alien invasion, it is possible that one could become unaware of their present location geographically and this situation could result in the potential for possible infection by various substances. Therefore this site provides a listing and mapping of all Superfund sites in the United States, coupled with nature of the health risks posed by each site. While in normal circumstances one would choose to avoid such a location, in the case of possible extraterrestrial attack they could be used as safe havens. If the exposure has been deemed not harmful, or proper protective measures have been enacted, these areas could be used as refugee areas as the pathogens present would provide possible defense against extraterrestrial incursions.

The material covered here would be useful for survival purposes in the event that normal avenues of life were disrupted. This portal presents information covering a wide variety of aspects about the threat of bioterrorism, which would be useful in combating biological threats of an extraterrestrial origin. The collection of different agencies involved, from law enforcement to environmental, provides a wide variety of practices which can be conglomerated for best defense.

12.) Center for Biological Evaluation and Research, “Countering bioterrorism,” http://www.fda.gov/cber/cntrbio/cntrbio.htm (Accessed December 1, 2007).

This document provides information for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases caused by bioterrorist pathogens. Also present is a discussion of the complex nature of such an attack due in the most part to the multiplicity of potential agents

multiplied by the fact that most of them would be of unnatural origin. Specific information is provided for the pathogens known as anthrax, smallpox, plague, botulism, tularemia, and hemorrhagic fevers.

These diseases can be deadly for humans and therefore even deadlier to aliens. Having an understanding of these diseases and their prevention could help keep you alive, while at the same time enabling them to be used effectively against invaders. I think I ran out of ways to describe bioterrorism, pathogens, and extraterrestrials.

13.) Center for Biological Evaluation and Research, “Xenotransplantation Action Plan,” U.S. Food and Drug Administration, http://www.fda.gov/cber/xap/xap.htm (Accessed December 1, 2007).

This action plan concerns the process of xenotransplantation, which is the transplantation, implantation, or infusion into a human being of living cells, tissues, or organs from a nonhuman source. Takes into account the possibility of cross-species infections and provides meeting transcripts and available documents and international information.

Current intelligence on extraterrestrials indicates a particular proclivity toward experimentation of various sorts. If an aim of such experimentation is to discover the physiology and more of human beings and other animals that inhabit the planet Earth, xenotransplantation could be used. Since this a complicated process above the understanding of many, this text will provide a basic introduction to this topic that could come in useful.

14.) Center for Biological Evaluation and Research, “Use of Cloning Technology to Clone a Human Being,” http://www.fda.gov/cber/genetherapy/clone.htm (Accessed December 1, 2007).

A transcription of the daily news briefing by the Department of Defense concerning various matters indicative of that day and questioning put forth by various media agents. Pertinent questions to our topic were presented upon the nature of the contents of Area 51, a location often believed to contain materials of extraterrestrial origin. During the course of the questioning the government through its spokesperson again denies that there are any alien life forms or alien technology present at the aforementioned location.

While not providing precisely in-depth information about the goings on of the base, it serves as a reminder that this could be an area of interest in the case of extraterrestrial invasion. Being present at this site would most likely be dangerous, as the potential concentration of alien technology would most likely provide an attraction.
