What would happen if aliens actually landed here?


I do believe there are other life forms out in the universe, and even intelligent beings somewhere in the galaxies. As unlikely as it is we will be visited, it had me thinking:

Say tomorrow, aliens actually land space craft down on Earth, for everyone to see. Do you think societies will stay civil, or do you think our lives as we know it would start to collapse; religion would break down, riots, chaos, etc?

SOME ASSHOLES WILL SHOOT AT THEM OR SOME SUCH STUPIDITY RESULTING IN A WAR WE PROBABLY CANT WIN. NOEMOJI

I would expect the most likely scenario is that we would be largely exterminated, some among the population left in zoos, the planet reformed to conform with the aliens' native biome.

Don't think aliens capable of making such journeys would do it merely to say hello.

Bleak, eh ? :) However, the prospect of such a visitation/invasion/usurpation/extermination is probably very slight. :)

We’d be on the menu, like that classic Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man.

Or “Under the Skin.” In the novel that the movie is adapted from, the alien species is harvesting young adult men because they are a delicacy to their species.

The MiB will handle them.

The Woke Folk would demand that the aliens be granted refugee status and be given the right to become permanent residents.

Just watch The Day the Earth Stood Still— Michael Renny, not Keanu Reeves.
