Greetings Earth,
I recently found out there is no official position for a U.N. liaison for extraterrestrials.
I truly believe there should be such an position, incase we are not alone in the universe. Having said this Id like to humbly offer my services to the U.N.’s Office for Outer Space Affairs, as Earth’s United Nations official Ambassador to the stars!
Sincerely,
Owen “The Captain” Cotter
Peace! :)

Recently stumbled upon this incredible clip. Haven’t seen this in years!!
This clip is taken from the computer animation odyssey The Gate To The Mind’s Eye.
For those of you, who haven’t seen this amazing film its out of this world cool!!
Thomas Dolby does music for the film. Even though the CGI animations, are dated this film is a test to the earlier animation styles of the 90’s, and how cool they still are!!
Enjoy!! :)
