Many years ago I recall a short story about an elephant? gazelle? that told stories. When it came across a talking lion (talking his language, not just lion langugae) he had just been making up a story about such an occurance.

So, instead of being startled and easy prey, he just kicked the lion and kept talking and creating his story.

There has been so much really good policy work already done in speculative fiction regarding natural, unnatural, and supernatural events.

Sometimes I hope that world leaders have a think tank tucked away trying to write procedures on first contact and the like.
