This is Hsiu-Ching, the host of 20091024 in Hsinchu gathering. The topic we discussed was Edgar Mitchell's claim on alien contact cover-up by the US government. We had six people on that day, including Happy, Theresa, Edward, Rita the new comer, Vincent and myself.
We discussed whether Mr. Mitchell's story was believable and most of us didn't think he was believable except Edward and I. Then we went on discussing whether any of us believed in the existence of alien life form, most of us had doubts, aside from Edward who firmly believed that aliens exist. When we were discussing the 4th question which was about what would we say or do if ever encounter an alien, Happy suggested that he would take "it" to the Happy English Club, moreover, Rita and I chose to stay away in case they were hostile and I completely forgot what the rest of the gang said, sorry
The last question was whether understanding the extraterrestrials would in any way be helpful to the human beings. We had fifty percent of people saying it would not and fifty percent saying otherwise.In addition, Happy and Edward explained to us the differences among the following three words while we were discussing what alien life forms may be, the followings are the dictionary definitions:
1. bacteria(n) very small living things related to plants, some of which cause disease
2. germ(n) a disease-producing bacterium (singular form of bacteria)
3. virus(n) a living thing even smaller than bacteria which causes infectious disease in the body, in plants, etc.
