'Take Me To Your Leader'

[Warph]

Remarkably, the United Nations is on the verge of appointing its first ambassador to aliens, as in UFOs, thereby extending the concept of global governance to galaxy governance, and maybe beyond.  The most likely candidate to fill the job is Malaysian astrophysicist Mazian Othman, current director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, or UNOOSA.

The post will require approval from U.N. scientific advisory committees and the General Assembly, according to CBS News.
But the question is: Why? Does the United Nations know something the rest of us do not know?  Is there a reason to be concerned that we need a world-government ambassador to be in place, ready to talk with extraterrestrials right now?  Or, is this just typical U.N. silliness?
