If extraterrestrials landed...

[ClichéGuevara]

How would you react?

Would you be afraid or curious?

Would you want to meet them?

Me, I'd want to have a natter.

Nearly every film seems to portray them as threatening, so it tends to be the military that people think will be the ones to deal with them. I reckon they're bright enough to keep away until they don't feel they're just going to have the equivalent of stones thrown a them by cavemen.

It'd have to depend on where I was when they landed, and where they landed.

I'd want to have a natter.

Me too. I'd love to learn all that new stuff

I'd wear a mask and keep a social distance as I wouldn't want to compromise their health.

I've a full biohazard suit, so should be safe.

I'd have a ride on top of their saucer on my MTB, or not !

Judging by some of the bars I use, I suspect they may already be among us.

Bit intimidating perhaps? Like squaddies in full battle gear rather than berets....
Or am I overthinking this?

Possibly, but first impressions and all that.

Chat with ET...? I don't even speak to my neighbours!

(I'm not funny with them, I just barely see them. I do say hello if/when our paths cross but that's about it.)

I doubt we'd ever get to meet them. Reckon Priti Patel would have them on the first rocket to a nearby planet for not having the appropriate paperwork.

If they travelled here from another solar system and were aggressive then we would stand zero chances, the technology difference and the power required to just travel that distance would be a ridiculous technical advantage, it would be like wiping out an ant nest

Contact and Arrival are good movies for if they benevolent.

Signs is possibly the worst invasion movie ever.

Personally I wouldn’t mind a chat with them.

You were up at Stoodley Pike earlier this year, weren't you.

I would love to meet an alien. Just think of all The questions I could ask.

What would your first questions be?

There's a professor near you that might be able to help, later this month.
