A risk of global ethnocide Even though it may not show hostile intentions, an alien intrusion presents the danger of chaos that could lead to ethnocide if, by accident, it manifested in broad daylight without leaving any doubt as to its origin. In the absence of _ prior psychological action [in preparation], men could lose confidence in their ability to control their future. The balance of the world would be upset. While genocide is the extermination of an ethnic group or religious group, "ethnocide" is the destruction of its culture. This disorder is not unique to physical systems. Chaotic developments are to be encountered as well in other complex natural systems, composed of several sub-systems that interact strongly. The external events that economists call "shocks" could play a decisive role in triggering irreversible twists. But can we conceive of a culture shock more violent, more destabilising, than impromptu contact with extraterrestrial beings who have the world under observation? The risk of ethnocide cannot be ignored or neglected. It must be taken into consideration at the highest level of government. Again, only hypothetical-deductive methods can provide valuable assistance in the decision. intrusion or invasion of one or more Republic kindly order a extraterrestrial civilisations, comprehensive study of the UFO e that, if the intrusion is not phenomenon under hypothetical- scientifically proven, GEIPAN's deductive methods borrowed from the strong presumptions work in favour of major states.
