    There is no way were are 'alone'.

    I think it would be pretty cool if they actually came out and said it, I'd just hope they didn't want to kill us all and steal our planet.

    What would be your reaction if you were told by governments leaders we ain't alone in the universe and that we have been visited and studied for many milenium and that our military capabilities are regularly reviewed/assessed and finally that those visitors intentions are unknown.

    This is a genuine question, so just imagine this is real and try to explain what would you do or think.

    Wait it out, they've tried to beam her up but it didn't work out. They've called for reinforcements.

    I wouldn't be scared because if they were observing us for years and hadn't done any harm then theres no real reason to feel frightened. I'd be curious about there life form,where the come from,how they talk,what they think of us..etc

    I'd take advantage of the mass panic and start a tinfoil-hat-making business. I'd have a penthouse in NYC by Monday.

    Just like someone in whatever company makes the swine flu vaccine is probably sleeping on a mattress of money tonight.

    The chance of other life in space is pretty high. Think of all the solar systems and all the planets. There just has to be life. Be it more advanced than us or simple creatures.

    I would be afraid, as I would know next to nothing about them. I would be more afraid of what our lunatic leaders would try to do to them...

    Yeah. If aliens landed on our planet I wouldn't even watch it on the news. I'd just play my Xbox and wonder why everybody is getting so worked up about a few poxy aliens with their faster-than-light spaceship and their new fangled technology.

    Probably just here to eat our swans.

    Aliens are here eh?
    Why the hell would they bother with a backwater world such as this?

    We're the galactic equivalent of some island in the south pacific. Very nice to visit occasionally and we might even consider a holiday home there (if we have the money) but in general we don't really matter in the great scheme of things.

    The day after they arrived Gormley would hit 'em with a carbon tax on account of the effect of their spaceship exhausts on global warming. Biffo would try to pursuade them to join FF and say "yes" to Lisbon. The rest of the government would remain blissfully unaware that anything had happened. A section of the general public would blame the Brits, while the news media would say that it was all a FF dodge to bury bad news about the economy/health service. Tesco would put up signs in their stores saying "Alien spoken here" and would open a alien food section. The rest of the population would simply ignore them until they got completely dispirited and decided to go home.

    I'd want to learn about their history and culture
    most of all. How they developed their tech (similar to our development or not?).

    Isn't there a new TV show remake of V coming out?

    Anyway I'd be hope for a trek-like scenario rather than a stargate-like scenario. It'd suck if the galaxy was a violent mess with conquerors etc.

    If there are aliens watching our civilisation progress, they could step in at some point when we become a nuisance/threat to them.

    We are still a very violent species, with ongoing wars worldwide and an uneven distribution of wealth and resources.
    Nowhere near "grown up"/evolved to meet the alien neighbours yet.

    So if there are any aliens overseeing us, it's probably to make sure we stay in our own solar system and not spread like a virus due to poor population control.

    I wouldn't be too sursprised to be honest , anyone who has looked into the universe at all will see that the likelyhood of us being the only intelligent life in it is very unlikely, much more likey that the distance is what has kept anyone from contacting each other, but I believe there is definatly more life forms in other Galaxys...has to be.
