    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.

    I don't know mate, up to you. What do you think you would do in your life, straight away. Would you change anything?

    Some are saying Chaos would rise on earth and that societies will collapse.

    I don't believe in aliens so I will just go on boards and try to convince other people aliens don't exist


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,488 ✭✭✭pikachucheeks


    I'd photoshop a rofl-cat picture that said "Oh hai alien stalkerrrs!" and post it on Boards.

    Yes but your leader just announced on TV and radio, worldwide, that they are here.
    So, you would have no choice to admit they are.

    He's got you there CaraFawn. No aliens for you I'm afraid.

    OMG its Harvey Norman isnt it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Seriously, even if we're not alone, if some type of alien lived somewhere around the nearest possible star that may have a planetary system, assume he can travel at the speed of light ( which will really mess up things) it would take said being tens of thousands of light years to get here so why would they bother.


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    I'd be glad that there's intelligent life somewhere in the universe. (including us, obviously :) )

    I for one welcome our new insect overlords.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    Wouldn't mind personally.

    Religious nutcases people on the other hand will probably turn inside out at the revelation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,210 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    If that happened I'd have to start frequenting the CT forum as I'd be a non-believer

    Let say time does not matter since they can warp it.

    So they would be fully able to travel billion of light years in a blink of an eye.

    Which possibly means travelling in another dimension.;)
    Time being our 4th dimension, so it would require a higher dimension to transverse it.
    If it happened, i would probably ask whoever i met, how the **** do i get back?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    My first two questions would be ' what kept you lot and what's your place like ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭Baile an Locha


    *Insert mildly amusing alien sceptic joke here*


  • Registered Users Posts: 328 ✭✭suspectdevice


    i wouldn't believe them - even if they did exist out there somewhere, we aint never going there and they aint never coming here


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 70 ✭✭Mr.Obvious


    I'd find a picture of them and be the first person to rule34 their asses (or whatever their equivalent is).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    So dinosaurs evolved on your planet and mammals are extinct? Cool.
    How do you wipe your bum with those little arms?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭cocoa


    light years are not a measurement of time, go find a real problem or document the one you have properly...

    I'd waltz on over to the Creationist crowd and laugh.
    Then I'd become a scientologist.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,358 ✭✭✭✭jimmycrackcorm


    i'd totally retreat to second life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 529 ✭✭✭rhapsody!


    I'd say:

    "Lol, pwned."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,529 ✭✭✭donkey balls


    bleeding aliens coming to our planet taking our jobs&women


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,150 ✭✭✭kumate_champ07

    freudian slip?(u married?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    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.

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

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭Omnomnom


    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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,241 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭ChocolateSauce


    I'd want proof.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    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...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie


    i dont really care.


  • Registered Users Posts: 749 ✭✭✭Spastafarian


    i dont really care.
    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.
