first contact with extra terrestrials

Postby Bulgislavia » Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:29 pm

Ok I have a hypothetical situation.

Lets just say your at a beach or a park with some of your friends just happily hanging out and socializing and then there is a bright green laser like light shining further down the beach (or park whatever) and this laser has an incredable distance on it but its so thick and bright and you can see these patterns reflecting and bouncing off the trees and shining in all these directions and up into the sky etc

Half of your friends find it spooky and say they want to leave the other half want to investigate what this strange light that looks like its not from earth is.

#1 What would you choose to do??

Second part.

If you decide not to investigate it you leave with your friends and the group comes up with some rational explanation of what the light is like "some kind of special police light or something"

If you decide to investigate, the friends that are spooked stay behind and the ones curious to investigate go down with you to the beach and you walk a distance to get to the light.
From a distance you see some strangely tall beings with a faint green glow coming off them wearing a kind of metalic shiny hazmat suit with these ultra powerful green laser torches.
you have these choices, sit and watch, get the aliens attention somehow, walk cautiously and introduce yourself as a citizen of planet earth??

Third part.

The Aliens realise they have an audience and the group of them turn off their torches and approach you, a black tint on their visors turns clear so you can see their faces, their skin is pale with huge round black eyes and flat facial features. They dont speak but you hear an alien voice in your head and it says

"Please do not be afraid, we are galactic beings not from this world, your global regime is about to collapse which will lead to earth finally being integreated into the intergalactic community, travel outside of your planet will be permitted for the first time and you will no longer be kept in the dark about intergalactic affairs, most of the people that have governed earth and kept it in Isolation are now fleeing to other planets in exile, earth is about to have a revolution. If you would like we can show you aboard our ship, we are just journalists reporting on the earth revolution and im sure you will see more UFO's in your skies as global unrest increases and the system begins to crumble"

So what would be going through your mind and would you go on their ship for a tour and flight around the area???
...................................................

Personally Id want to investigate the mysterious green light, Id probably sit back at a safe distance and slowly get closer and closer if it looked safe and the aliens appeared to be harmless, Id probably accept the tour of their ship and just choose to trust them and then maybe ask if they can smuggle me off the planet so I can be like a human refugee fleeing the collapsing global dictatorship and then travel around the galaxy and then return after any revolution occurs, or just leave after the tour and tell them there welcome to land on my front lawn anytime

Pop culture has been preparing us for alien contact for so long, that just about anyone (at least anyone who isn't a stump-dumb redneck that is) encountering an alien that is not overtly hostile would probably just invite them in for dinner.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

Avoid and report, the military can go kill themselves rather than me, especially considering they are likely hostile. Then again, if they don't land that could be registered as hostile. Best just to meet them nicely, and if they want to waste those who meet them then at least we know they are our eternal enemies and we need to destroy them or be destroyed ourselves.

PS: Never send a leader of a nation to meet an alien...they may eat him/her for breakfast. ;)

IMHO, a sane extra-terrestrial attempting first contact will probably send an invitation, possibly coded to known human government codes, via radio and/or television for designated representatives to meet them in orbit, thus bypassing crazed mobs and over-zealous air-defense marshalls.

Well, apart from commenting on the absurdity of the situation, I'd probably be inquisitive, mainly because I know it's going to be a lorry or something that's blinded us with lights. Were it really a spaceship, I'd go inside to find the hoaxers who had pulled this all off.

Although, as a Christian, I'd also issue the aliens with handy tracts to ensure eternal salvation. Because I believe, brother, can I hear an amen?

I'd beg them to take me with them.

There's no intelligent life down here worth investigating, anyway. (And aliens always seem to be inexplicably fond of human females in fiction.)

reply depends on the situation.

1st situation. The extra terrestrials come here, this means they are intelligent and likely see us an inferior.
My reaction " I for one welcome our new overlords".

2nd situation. We go over there, in which case it is the reverse of the above, I would then draft an argument detailing how the 13th amendment does not include aliens and start a plantation. And if they are hot and blue/green skinned maybe pull a captain Kirk.
