Lighthearted but obviously the US congress are preparing to reveal the existence of Aliens.
What would be the first thing you would do?

I wouldn't have one because they don't exist

You don't think aliens exist anywhere in the vast universe?
Why would our planet be the only one inhabited?

Most of their ships land in the US. They usually send a few to prominent landmarks around the globe. So avoid the Eiffel Tower,.pyramids etc. I'm in Australia but nowhere near the Harbour Bridge so I should be ok.

Why would they hit pyramids.
They built them if they are not some new aliens

I arrived ages ago, seems I've assimilated well

YourMommaWasASnowblower · 27/07/2023 11:43

I hope they are nicer than humans and if they decide to take over the planet that they do a better job of taking care of it than humans have.

I would check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t an April Fools prank.

I would want to see them for myself and check they didn’t have zips and weren’t some kind of Mr. Blobby prank.

If they were real I would try and befriend them in the hope that they would choose someone else to experiment on!

As I said on the other thread

Ask them why? There’s a lot younger, pristine exoplanets out there to take over inhabited by a few single cell organisms at best, that it’d be easier and less messy to invade to acquire resources or to colonise

or if they’d just come for a few days visits to “earthzoo” point out we’ve got a lot of trigger happy governments that might take pot shots at them, so probably best to send unarmed craft and make their equivalent of David Attenborough documentaries- or actually they could just tune into bbc iPlayer from over there and watch.

really it comes down to motive in all seriousness. Why would aliens be visiting given the enormous resources it would take and that their technology would have to be so advanced to cope with time/ distance of 5 light years absolute minimum , that they’ve probably got stuff on earth they’d be monitoring back home in a lot of detail

as I’ve said, as a planet we’re not a good prospect for hostile bids. Sun half way through lifecycle, so on the downward side of “Gianting” and annihilation of earth, and a well evolved earth with depleted resources and a salient life form quickly making it near uninhabitable

🤷🏼‍♀️

Mad quick clean just in case they pop by my house for a cuppa.

watersprites · 27/07/2023 12:04

watch the rolling news, then get bored after 90 mins of presenters looking at the sky & talking filler. i

Poppysmom22 · 27/07/2023 12:04

I don't like visitors so I'd close the curtains and pretend I'm not in

watersprites · 27/07/2023 12:05

Well apparently with what's being said bt top military in the US, they are very much already here. I'm just wondering where they are hiding...

the royals or is that lizards?

Buddy up with Elon. He'd surely already have made friends with them.

Stock up on toilet rolls, pasta, tinned toms.

Charge up all devices.

Bagsy the comfiest chair in the lounge before any other family members grab it.

Sit down and MN.

Elons gone on record saying “I’D know if aliens visited because I’m a space expert”
apparently
I take lots of comfort form what Elon says

Appleofmyeye2023 · 27/07/2023 12:08

NetballHoop · 27/07/2023 11:07

I'd make them some nice buttery mashed potato. They eat instant muck.

Oh god…one look at that and now I have the mother of all ear worms 😱

Georgyporky · 27/07/2023 12:14

I'd call through the letter-box that this is a No Cold Calling Zone

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 27/07/2023 12:19

Go the The Winchester and wait for it all to blow over.

LittleLegsKeepGoing · 27/07/2023 11:03

If they've been living amongst us, my money is on Elon being one of them and the X obsession is to do with his home planet.

My plan is, no plan. Just roll with whatever nonsense I'm expected to deal with and keep my kids safe much like current life

Elon doesn’t look 100% human TBF..

He likes chocolate chip cookies, so I will do a mega Maryland biscuit buffet, and if the aliens turn up their noses because they aren’t the posh squishy ones I will be v offended and start a thread about the fact that at least with an alien invasion you’s expect the end of class snobbery but apparently not so class obsessed MNers will be FINE

drinkuptheezider · 27/07/2023 12:50

Lizard people, they are the aliens. They run the world already. 🌎 oh, or is it flat? Apparently, there are YouTube videos of 'elites' with flickering lizard eyes. You tube, that reliable news source 🙄 😉

What do lizards eat, I'll have to get some in if they want to come for dinner?

KitBumbleB · 27/07/2023 12:51

My mum would make me tidy my room (Arab)

GasPanic · 27/07/2023 13:00

My mum always told me to wear clean underpants just in case so I'd be making for the underwear drawer and probably put on two pairs.

onlynotafan · 27/07/2023 13:10

👽 = demons

Even the bible describes them

People find it easy to believe 'aliens' exist but can't fathom a God existing. 🤷‍♀️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I like your thinking.

EmpressSoleil · 27/07/2023 13:22

I'd say the opposite is true. Far more people in this world are religious than believe in aliens.

Florissante · 27/07/2023 13:25

Remember, everyone, in case they act weird. They might be neurodiverse.

Oddsockday · 27/07/2023 13:28

@onlynotafan did you miss the bit where I said lighthearted?

But to answer you if this is indeed true then organised religion will have some explaining to do. They will certainly lose their power and hold over people.

Live rodents? That's what was on the menu in "V"...

WildFlowerBees · 27/07/2023 13:31

Well hopefully they'll interrupt all of our TVs etc with an announcement that they've been watching our planet and the current shit show so are taking our fearless leaders for some in-depth probing to help us all out.
