"It's called Dawn, and in a little more than a year, this spacecraft will blast off from Florida, bound for two separate asteroids: Vesta and Ceres. Visiting the two most massive asteroids in our Solar System will be an ambitious undertaking; maybe one of the most difficult and dangerous orbital missions attempted. Dawn will bring a suite of scientific instruments to these two asteroids and serve as a time machine to help scientists understand what our Solar System looked like 4.6 billion years ago."
Certain speculative writers are going to have a great time with this. Especially those with a conspiratorial bent, who will interpret the name "Dawn" as evidence of forthcoming government disclosure of our extraterrestrial heritage. You know who you are.

I predict that the U.S. government will NEVER disclose our ET heritage, contact with ET, or anything else to do with alien secrets. Even if "They" made the proverbial "landing on the White House lawn" the Bush adminsitration would probably cook up some cockamamie story that it was actually a "natural phenomenon."

I was just thinking about the "disclosure" thing today. In the end, I think the "others" hold all the cards, regardless what some terrestrials might think. The UFO intelligence may choose to manifest openly at some point; then again, maybe it will always remain just behind the curtain.
