If you knew that UFOs existed how would you react?

Question

Would you shoot anything in the night sky that you didn't recognise? Would you be frightened to go out alone at night in case you were abducted? Would you suspect your strange neighbour was an alien in disguise?

Answer 1

I would be thrilled!

I am confident that we are not alone in the Universe. To assume we are the only "civilized" life form in the whole place is the height of arrogance.

I also believe that if visitors from another world came to our planet, they would be so much higher on the evolutionary scale than we are. I also believe that we would have nothing to fear from them. A civilization that has mastered interplanetary travel would have moved WAY beyond the need to conquer or make war - or turn us all into polenta.

If an interplanetary visitor ever arrived, it would forever change the human race; untold thousands of years of beliefs would be changed or questioned, the fearful would tremble, the brave step forth.

As far as my strange neighbor....? She is an alien, alright...from the Romulan empire, no doubt. She is, indeed, a toxic human being.

Live long and prosper! :)

Answer 2

I'd change my A Levels to something more science related. Then I could get a job communicating with the aliens - that would be amazing. but apart from that, not much. Because they would have existed for a long time and as nothing particularly disastrous has happened yet, why should it suddenly happen now? My knowledge of their existence won't mak the aliens try and destry the Earth or anything.

Answer 3

Well UFO's do exist. The question is who or what is flying them. Many have turned out to be just test flights of new military aircraft. Some unexplained. Some complete hoaxes.

If they were being flown by aliens. I would be pretty excited. To know for a fact that there is intelligent life on other planets.

Answer 4

UFOs do exist: anything that is a flying object that you cannot identify (from a cloud to a weather balloon to an alien mother ship) is a UFO by definition.

Therefore, you would react exactly the same as you do now.

Answer 5

i've known about ufo's and aliens since i was pretty young.
i lead a normal life.
i dont freak out. i have a good laugh at all the alien movies. i dont trust people, but that's for other reasons.
whether they are flying around here, abducting ppl, are open to debate, but they are out there. its a statistical truth.
whether they'll bother with a technilogically braindead planet, filled with warring nations...

Answer 6

I'm completely convinced that my youngest daughter is an alien. It doesn't make much differnce in how I live.

Seriously? What can you do? Shooting at or otherwise behaving aggressively doesn't make sense. If they aren't friendly they are a lot more powerful than we are. I may later need to fight them but for now the best thing to do is live and observe.

Answer 7

If UFOs exist, and I think they do, we first would have to figure out what we are dealing with. What these things are is really still under debate.

Answer 8

no, i wouldnt shoot anything in the sky , just like i dont shoot things outside that go bump in the night,,,,,, i personally dont think i would be more afraid of them then i am alot of humans,,,,,, i would imagine there is just as good a chance that they would contact me for good or evil, just like with humans

Answer 9

I know they exist. If I happen to see one right in front of me, I'll take images. I wouldn't go near it though. I don't want to be made their guinea pig.

Answer 10

I would encourage my children to go into a field relating to that. A career that is.
