John, the UN alien ambassador thing was a hoax:

I don't know if it was a hoax, as much as the usual twisting of the facts by the media to get a story. She is attending that conference this week and I would imagine that somebody, somewhere has suggested that Unoosa, would be a logical part of the chain, should we find ourselves in the position of confirming alien life.
