What would you do if tonight there’s a breaking news report stating that extraterrestrial aliens do exist...

and they’re not only visiting us but living amongst us. How would you feel? I’d be terrified! I’m sure some people would be suicidal.

by Anonymousreply 80October 20, 2019 2:20 AM

That would be cool.

by Anonymousreply 1October 6, 2019 4:36 AM

Weirdly enough, we’ve been in such a state of unreality for years, that I don’t really think I nor society would react that much. It’d be a media frenzy at first, but I doubt there’d be wild mass panic. Something tells me it’d be more along the lines of “Huh. That’s interesting.”

It wouldn't surprise me. I think the people consulted on shows such as Ancient Aliens are more right than wrong, so I'm rather used to the idea now. I'd certainly want to know more about their intentions toward humanity.

by Anonymousreply 4October 6, 2019 4:47 AM

The same. If they haven’t done anything before, they probably won’t start now.

by Anonymousreply 5October 6, 2019 4:48 AM

How do we know we aren’t the aliens? Maybe we are all ETs and UFOs...

Are they going to do the Right thing and kick Donald Trump's ass? Because if so, I'm all in.

They're here. They're real. Get used to it!

R8, If they're here are they taking human form or do they hide out?

Hopefully they would share their technology, and we could get off petrol and other fossil fuels. Maybe they have a cure for cancer. I would certainly try to remain positive and hopeful, but that is my nature.

When they demand “Take me to your Leader”, they’ll fly off in horror after Trump repeatedly asks the extraterrestrials if they can provide dirt on Biden.

I’m certain we’ve been visited by our friends from beyond the Milky Way. However, I’m not so sure they walk among us. I’d love to be wrong though. x

It would make me VERY happy, because it's what I've believed for many years. Plus, I would know there's no need to be terrified because they've been here so long if they wanted to do something bad to the human race they would and could have done it long ago.

by Anonymousreply 22October 6, 2019 10:54 AM

According to "experts", aliens are just like us: there are the good, the bad and the ugly! Let's just hope they come in peace!!! (*lol*)

by Anonymousreply 23October 6, 2019 11:03 AM

I think the assumption that we couldn’t handle the news of alien life is now wrong. Society wouldn’t collapse. It may actually make me hopeful.

by Anonymousreply 24October 6, 2019 11:34 AM

I would be fine with aliens but I would expect them to help raise the minimum wage to at least $12 dollars an hour.

by Anonymousreply 25October 6, 2019 11:45 AM

Meh. As others have said if they're already here and living amongst us then anything they had in mind to do they'd have done by now I assume.

Would be curious to meet one, have a bunch of questions I'd like to ask

by Anonymousreply 26October 6, 2019 11:48 AM

The Brookings Institution reported this in 1961.

[quote] It has been speculated that of all groups scientists and engineers might be the most devastated by the discovery of relatively superior creatures since these professions are most clearly associated with the mastery of nature, rather than with the undestanding and expression of man.

Other than academic curiosity, I doubt we have anything to offer any alien lifeform that could find and reach us.

It wouldn't upset me, or make me behave any differently. I'm a relatively polite, gentle-mannered, gay Catholic boy, and that wouldn't change.

Are we not in the midst of a "soft reveal"? I think we are and I think the guvmint has been preparing us for this for years. The Navy admitted for the 1st time recently the existence of UFOs.

R36 - I think you’re right. If you want to boil a frog you put it in cold water first and heat it up. x

by Anonymousreply 37October 6, 2019 6:52 PM

R36 - we may well be. At the very least, they've admitted they have across objects (with video evidence from pilots) that they cannot identify. Given their usual "deny everything and say it's weather balloons/swamp gas etc" this admission is pretty damn interesting.

It doesn't necessarily point to aliens though. But someone or something that is way beyond our current tech and they can't deny the existence of it any longer.

by Anonymousreply 38October 6, 2019 6:54 PM

It would be pretty cool. I'd want to meet one.

I don't think people would freak out. Especially if they're already here and we didn't notice. I mean we have enough problems of our own that an alien invasion is not that concerning.

I'd immediately turn to FOX news to see Sean Hannity and the rest of the crew beamed back up to the mother ship.

Time travellers or people from other dimensions? That would be fun. I’d prefer aliens though. I’ve heard the Greys are insatiable bottoms. x

by Anonymousreply 41October 6, 2019 7:31 PM

People think aliens are from outer space, but they're not - they're from INNER space. That's why the government can't find 'em, they've been lookin' in the wrong space! Geez, these people - how dumb can ya get?

If an intelligent species elsewhere in the galaxy is advanced enough to have developed interstellar space travel, why would they bother with us? We would be too primitive to be worth their time.

My first thought would be that it was a War of the Worlds hoax. I have a firm grasp of reality. These things are unlikely in the extreme.

Pray they take every Republican in office and those who support them with them for dinner, and I don't mean as guests. I think that would leave such a bad taste in their mouths that they would never come back to this planet again. Oh and it would be nice if they dropped off a cure for cancer as a parting gift, but I'd say, leave it with someone who can be trusted, not anyone from a drug company. Maybe leave it with Jimmy Carter or Elizabeth Warren but I would trust Carter even more.

I’m more interested in the advanced, environment-saving technologies these aliens have to offer. Even if they revealed themselves to the world, most of us will probably never get to interact with them. They will remain as distant as A-list celebs.
