What would we really do if UFOs did show up one day like in the movie "Independence Day"?

If "like in the movie" you mean hostile and with far more advanced technology, well, then we would be in very serious trouble.
The correct thing to do would be to try to communicate and negociate. And defend ourselves any way we can.
But I seriously doubt any advanced alien race would be naturally hostile.


No I just ment about them coming like they did in the movie, not about them being hostile.

Who would love to have a close encounter of the 1,2,3 or 4th kind?


Easy question to answer in a seti@home forum. :p
We all would.

Who think the government would do what they did in the movie "Close Encounters of the 3rd kind"?
It depends on which country's government you are talking about. Besides, it always depends on who's in charge of said government at that time, etc.

I've rounded this question off before, and found that , in our opinion, most people will just carry on and not notice or consider any sort of reconsideration of anything that is necessary.....I'm sorry to say....


Or, the spaceship could land and maybe nobody will see it unless they're right next to it. I found this tidbit fascinating about Captain Cook's voyage to the polynesian islands.

Apparantly, when the large Galleon came into a busy native harbour bustling with native boats, nobody saw it until the Endeavor/Resolution (I forget which trip it was) was right in their midst. The aboriginals didn't see it because they were expecting absolutely nothing like it! They couldn't 'conceptualize' it, so they didn't even recognize it sailing into harbour. It's fascinating how the human mind works! It seems that there's a cultural element to object recognition.

Not sure what the 4th kind is, but I could dig the 3rd kind....

Fire up the BBQs and have a BIG party, then go kick some alien butt....

The government understands 3 things: coverup, coverup, coverup.... (-:<

nobody else want's to put their opinion in?


Depends what a close encounter of the 4th kind is!

Personally, I reckon contact with an ET race could be good, bad, or more likely be a double-edged sword.


I would like it to happen in my Lifetime, I dont want to wait till I get to the other side to find out (Whatever side I land in)

You're asking big questions.....and there is nothing wrong with that. I think there would be nothing cooler than to meet an alien spaceship....it would have implications for us beyond our wildest dreams. It shouldn't disturb our philosophy however....but may disturb certain people's religions....
