The whole world is in lockdown pretty much and wouldn't it be wild if the reason for this is we are going to be contacted by aliens soon? Like there's really no point in ending lockdown and there seems to be some crazy things happening astronomically at the moment... When aliens are going to show up soon. What are your thoughts British mums on the interwebs? Capitalism will be ending soon because there's no point anymore guys, get ready for AI life. Gin

Imagine if this did happen and it transpired that Covid-19 was the only thing that could finish them off.

PicsInRed · 11/04/2020 17:09

Mate. 🤣

RiftGibbon · 11/04/2020 17:15

I think they would be hard pushed to find intelligent life on this planet, to be honest.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 11/04/2020 17:27

The probably is intelligent life out there. You can tell it's intelligent because it's kept well away from us!

Devlesko · 11/04/2020 17:31

I doubt they'd want to follow our ridiculous lockdown laws. Grin
I do agree that Capitalism will be gone soon, yeh! hopefully, we'll get back to living rather than being boring worker bees.

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 11/04/2020 17:32

We'd be in trouble if they came.

"Take Me To Your Leader."

Would we dare suffer the embarrasment?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 11/04/2020 17:35

What are you taking about

We have been contacted already haven’t you seen E.T. ?

Capitalism isn’t going to end anytime soon

LolaDarkdestroyer · 11/04/2020 17:38

Yep and I know what they will say

IamNOTreplying · 11/04/2020 17:40

I do hope so!
Aliens are far more interesting that the four walls of my living room 😁

custardbear · 11/04/2020 17:45

Have any aliens visited during any other pandemic?! 🧐

VettiyaIruken · 11/04/2020 17:46

Thanks OP, I really really needed a good laugh

longwayoff · 11/04/2020 18:17

Thank heavens. A proper loopy Mumsnet question. Why arent you spying on your neighbours like other loons? No matter, this a welcome break. Bring on the little green men.

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 11/04/2020 18:24

I am feeling kind of bored. Alien abduction might be fun.

MellowBird85 · 11/04/2020 18:28

@pinksmileysticker yes very good. Now your opinions on alien life please....

bobstersmum · 11/04/2020 18:42

If they do come I hope Paul is the leader!

iklboo · 11/04/2020 18:46

Maybe we'll be contacted by Alans instead?

mumwon · 11/04/2020 18:46

aha the aliens infected us with coronavirus (lets start a rumour its a realistic as many I have seen on the web) trouble was they were expecting everybody to stay home glued to the tv or the computer etc

Willow2017 · 11/04/2020 18:47

Not gonna happen until we invent warp speed.

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 11/04/2020 18:48

the aliens did it, expecting us to completely ignore our leaders, therefore allowing them to kill loads of us off in one fell swoop and take over.
If we all stay inside we stop the aliens, because like vamoires they have to be invited in.

AlternativePerspective · 11/04/2020 18:51

I have actually heard two alien related conspiracy theories:

The first was some bloke on the field behind my house shouting about how they’re just waiting for ten million of us to die before they, the aliens, come after the rest of us.

The other was from a distant member of the family who claims that the world’s governments got together and released this virus in order to keep us all inside because an alien invasion is imminent. Hmm. She used to smoke something, I presume she still does. Grin.

Lifeisgenerallyfun · 11/04/2020 18:52

Ooh I’d do love this to be true. How bloody exciting if it was (so long as they were more ET than war of the worlds).

pussycatinboots · 11/04/2020 18:56

I'd prefer to be contacted by Alans.
Grin

WombleOfThigh · 11/04/2020 19:03

Dammit, I can't reply to the OP, I'm not a mum Sad

Elieza · 11/04/2020 19:07

What makes you think they are not already here...

AmelieTaylor · 11/04/2020 19:10

Why the fuck woukd they want to come here?? They're certainly not going to want to take any of us back withnthem
