(Silly Question Time) An Alien Lands?

Question

(told you it was going to be silly)

An alien space ship lands in your back yard your first reaction would most likely be:

Run out to greet them
Call the police department
Run for your life
Call the National Guard
Pass out (faint)
or Assume it is a hoax

Wow, six stars. I may ask silly questions more often. If it's okay.

Answer 1

Look around for Rod Serling...

Answer 2

You should never run, either towards or away from something strange. Running towards something can be taken as a threat. Running away can fire off primitive chase impulses.

The very BEST thing to do would be to stand still and wait. Not to show any fear. Once they have emerged from their ship, you walk slowly towards them in a non-threatening manner. Don't smile--showing of teeth may be read as aggression.

Then talk to them in a welcoming manner, in your normal tone of voice, using your normal words and inflections. They may not understand, but tone and body language says a lot. (Hopefully NOT "Welcome, you're just in time for dinner, and I'M the first course.") Offer drinks and food. Start with simple water and bread, and work up to the interesting stuff like beer and pretzels over time.

And by the time the police and army and TV networks arrive, you have already made yourself totally indispensable as the first alien diplomat.

Answer 3

I would probably just stand there and wait to see who or what emerged. I would have my cell phone with me to call for backup if needed and my gun close by in case it became unsafe. But of course when I called the cops every thing would go to H---. The cops, Marines, Army, Media and everything else in between would show up and take over my property and wreck havic and probably charge me for some kind of ridiculus fee for not having a permit to allow aliens to land on my property.

Answer 4

Why Wickwire it really isn't such a silly question.
Knowing what a scardy cat I am I would grab my pups and hide under the bed. Lol But then I am a very inquisitive gal so I'd have to peak out and see what they were up to. I wouldn't tell a living soul except my kids for fear that the people with the 'white coats' would come and take me away.

Answer 5

according to the guide lines I read in the paper in NC. I would run out and sit on the lawn, wet my pants and begin eating grass and drooling all the while. Or maybe pork chop earrings would help. Or perhaps just sit back and watch the display begin. If It really happens there may be -- the rest of the story. ;0)

Answer 6

Assume it is a hoax....the chances of an alien finding this tiny planet in the cosmos is far worse than my hitting the mega lotto 10 times in a row. I would probably die laughing first!

Answer 7

I think that I will speak in behalf of myself and my neighbors. If it landed in the backyard, we would all run into the front yard and ask everyone what happened.

A few years ago there was a loud BOOM in the neighborhood. It sounded like it came from our backyards. All the neighbors ran outside in our robes and pajamas. Even though we all said it sounded like it came from the backyard, we ran to the front yard! It turned out to be a sonic boom from an aircraft.

Answer 8

genuine tale: a chum of mine became as quickly as the editor of a small city newspaper and became invited to a dinner on the Reagan White abode for small city newspaper editors. The President have been given as much as make some feedback and then replied some questions. somebody asked if he concept the U. S. and the U.S. could ever be waiting to strengthen into allies (This became around 1985). He replied that's became stressful to think of for many folk yet he ought to think of circumstances the place the two international locations ought to come jointly. as an occasion, he pronounced, shall we are saying that the Earth became being invaded by way of extraterrestrial beings from yet another planet. He concept the U. S. and u.s. could unite to combat this mortal enemy. And he became extreme! all and sundry type of appeared at one yet another nervously as they meditated the belief of this guy having his finger on the button that ought to start WWIII.

Answer 9

When I started reading the question, my 1st thought was, 'cool', so I guess I'd run to meet them. We live at the end of a dirt road, so you know if anyone is going to see an alien, it will be me. I'll be wearing my husband's big old tee shirt, have curlers in my hair and hoping they don't knock our old truck off the blocks. lol (I'm kidding, sorta)

Answer 10

Being a Southern lady, I'd invite them in for a cup of coffee.

Actually, I was home alone the first time I heard one of those oscillating sirens, followed by a megaphone, and I honestly and truly throught they HAD landed!

Answer 11

Knowing me I would just sit with notebook and pen in hand, taking notes on whatever action/inaction was occuring at their landing site [after having called NASA...NOT the police! who would probably laugh their heads off!]...

I'd be looking for signs of a hoax - [one of my nutty friends having stoopid fun with me] but also in the back of mind, sorta wishing it was the real deal]

If someone/thing emerged I'd probably wet my pants, grab my kitty and go hide.
