Hi there,

My friend and I were talking about how silly it was that aliens haven't contacted us yet. He came up with this idea that he would "send nukes into space and blow them up to attract alien attention" but he doesn't have any nukes to send so I have started this petition hoping Obama sees it so he can at least consider doing something kicking-rad before Hillary or Trump take over for him and he writes books and relaxes for the rest of his days.

The purpose of the nukes would be to attract aliens kind of like how flares are used to attract people when someone is in distress. If we set off enough of them perhaps some aliens would detect the spikes in radiation and investigate further, leading them to us and giving us the chance to make some new friends, learn some new stuff, and see what's going on out there.

If we met aliens our species could probably set aside our differences and work on befriending aliens and exploring planets rather then browsing Facebook and mourning a dead gorilla.

Thank you for your time, and please sign!
