How would it affect you to have the existence of extraterrestrials confirmed?

I'd be very much anticipating new scientific and medical advances for the public. I'd also probably be very anxious and worked up wondering how things in the world are going to turn out. I can imagine "religious militia" groups forming and causing ALOT of problems, as the confirmation of ET presence would obviously conflict with followers of religion. All in all though... I'd probably buy alot of guns and equipment and get together with a bunch of people and head to the mountains for a while.

The term extraterrestrials is too broad. It would be very interesting to see the existence of Grey's or some sort of advanced civilization confirmed, but if it were just a couple strains of bacteria on a planet, well what do I care?

I will love it!! It will be the best day of my life.

I want to see the corrupt goverments, along with their cocky master plans to rule the world implode in their faces, churches, bank accounts, & dated beliefs systems.

Then, watch to see if these same cocky idiots are crazy enough to say -

"DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU HEAR or SEE! ... Our priests and millitary stratigists have decided we are still supreme masters of the universe... Look, we have the Bible, A-bombs and three space shuttles... those little gray guys work for us."

I'll watch the fireworks from my bunker with my Ziess binoculars.

I definitely agree. We discover new species on this planet everyday, but it doesn't change our lives because it's insignificant. It's very different when it's intelligent beings who are technologically advanced.

If alien exitence was confirmed i would say "oh ok" and just carry on. Seriously it wouldnt be a shock to me at all. I would sure love to see the skeptics' faces though!!

I had company over, last weekend. I water-smoked pork spare-ribs.

Actually, I didn't use water--I used apple juice and half a jar of honey. Delicious. I think The Aliens would really like it; pork allegedly tastes like human...and that sugary goodness from the honey and apple juice would (surely) send their lips smacking.

since I already belive that the goverment has been visited by aliens it wouldn't really affect me in the least. it'd be like saying most politicians are crooks, thats just confirming something I already know.

Maybe it would alter society, rather than crumble it? Everyone always says things like: (Quoting E.T beings) Why would we visit those primitive species? etc. etc.

Think of it this way: Why do WE help primitive beings, primates, other animals etc. granted this would then open the whole captivity, hunting argument etc. Only thing i have to say to that is, contrary to popular belief, we aren't a primitive species. we've past the whole rocks and stone ages, and have created a lot of great things. We're not primitive, just extremely dangerous to ourselves and most likely other species.

We've taught monkeys sign language, communication. so why would an e.t being not teach us how to survive our adolescent state? In the long run, it may benefit them to have another thriving species to rely on. two civs are better than one or somethin. Just an idea.

If the government someday confirmed all the crap concealed for the past 50 years, think of all the stuff, we’d probably find out:
The truth about our ancient history, including our origin from the apes.
Whether or not god exists.
The meaning of life
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
How many blonds does it take to screw in a light bulb?
How many people have they killed in order to keep it all a secret?
Will they bring back Elvis?
In key facto to all the other races out there, what do we rate in intelligent life forms? (We’re probably the crumb bucked of the universe)
Did Jesus exist? And if so, was he really a child beater.
And finally, most importantly, how much wood can a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Also, I think it’s probably up to the aliens themselves whether or not humanity is truly ready for such an event. I just don’t see how the government, shadow government or what ever, would have enough power to influence them to stand-down from direct contact with the public. And so, every time you ask the government for disclosure, it’s not up to them, they’re powerless, the government might want to bring all this crap brought to the public but the aliens may not let them. If you want aliens to come down in their ships to the white house, you’d be better off trying to convince the aliens that we as a race are ready, that we’re truly accepting of this reality. Through all the wars, fighting, greed, corruption and control from both the government and religion, I can see how they (the aliens) would not want us to join the universe in intergalactic relations. We are like a horribly ignorant disease, you don’t want a disease spreading through the entire universe, now do you. If we want any alien culture to trust our way of life to the point were we are able to join them, we need to sort out our mess before we can even think about outer space contact. I for one don’t really think we should really go out there, into the universe, with all our problems. If I were to have the opportunity to travel the universe, I probably would discard my life here and learn what I can through the ET beings. And then maybe use that new knowledge to comeback and teach what I’ve learnt.

I would flood them with millions of questions!

the good aliens are coming to help us by putting a stop to upcoming nuclear ww3 before our genius leaders destroy all life on earth------just dont get in their way or you will end up being dead meat-----resistence is futile.we probably all should get ourselves some adult diapers ready for invasion day---it will be quite terrifying.

reply to post by wdkirk


the aliens that are coming to help us-----are invulnerable to all that we know and all the laser technology that the government is keeping under wraps and we have absolutely no defence against them------they can read our minds----sort out the trouble makers and disolve the flesh off their standing skeletons in an instant if we chose to fight and resist.look for me in aliens cheering section-----i'm not getting in the way of the winners when they are our friends.

Some good posts here. Looks like the majority of people would pretty much go on about their daily life. While others would take a more threatened approach. I think movies and the Internet have softened most peoples feeling about ET's . The more you see and read about things like this the more deadened you become to the idea of there being extraterrestrial beings visiting us from other planets. I can tell you since I started reading about ET's and UFOs on the net I have become more built up and less freaked out by the idea of disclosure.

I would leave this planet on a mission of Interstellar Exploration. I would need to extend my biological life so I would have enough time to study everything and study the history of the Universe. Understanding history of all time will help me reach the ultimate question, the meaning of life, and if there is a REAL creator of the universe, or if there is a multiverse. I would hope they would bring the true and accurate history of the planet earth, so I could satisfy my disbeliefs in what we've been told. I hope they have a record of this planet since is was formed, so I could get the real truth. The truth will set me free. I am a prisoner on this planet, knowledge is being withheld from me by the highest echelons of the Illuminati and I want prevy to their wisdom. I do not however seek out any power other than that which will further my understanding of life and the universe. If they offer technology to have Pedabytes of information directly uploaded to me, I will take it. I want to experience all there is to experience, and I do not seek immortality, only an extended life to make sure I have taken in as much as my simple human brain can handle and when that has happened, I will be satisfied. I want these sons of men to be taken from power here on this Earth, and made our equals. I want governments to be no longer secretive and oppressing, to be dissolved and shown the ignorance of futility of their ways. I want to be told the secrets of the Universe.

They do exist-

the government would rather you think they don't then admit they've been dealing with extraterrestrials for over 50 years. Check out the first nasa space mission tapes online or youtube them...you'll see that they've been keeping the secret for over 5 decades...even though its practically no secret now except for people who are too dumb to comprehend that there is life outside of humanity and earth.

Anyone know that name of that book where a couple of military analysts actually did a treatise into alien invasion and how we would combat it using conventional warfare means?

They thought that our best chance would be to go "underground" and fight them with tactics much like insurgents use...

The name of this book is: An Introduction to Planetary Defense: A Study of Modern Warfare Applied to Extra-Terrestrial Invasion (link to book where you can read extensive excerpts)

I have it and it's a real eye opener. the authors attempt to logically compute the odds of whether visiting ET's would be friendly, hostile or neutral and come to the conclusion (among many others) that a race having the need to expand into space would most likely have the same aggressive tendencies that humans do, and would thus be more likely hostile towards us.

To say that your life would not be changed at all is insane. So you'd continue to goto work like a mindless worker bee/slave when there is a million times more out there than in your little routine of working for a company?

Well hey there, everyone. I'll confirm it for you. CONFIRMED! They are here, they have always been here. Some are actually from here long before us. Some are from space. Some are from extra-dimensions (you don't wanna know where a lotta those buggers choose to hang out at. it's really creepy.) Some are from different timespaces. Some from places that we cant even begin to describe with words or even pictures....

But yes. Just listen, all you skeptics. Sorry, but you're wrong. Science is flawed. And no you can't have proof. Do you think I actually care that you know until you know within yourself? Nope. That's why you can't have proof. I could've actually given you great proof with some hand prints on my windows and doors, good weird handprints... but I said Eff that shizz, man. How do I benefit from showing people truth when they will just call me a hoaxer/liar or a psycho to my face? Proof is never proof enough. You just gotta be open to it.

This knowledge will change you greatly. How can you even think of monetary/economic crap as important anymore when you've got a whole wonderful universe to explore not only with your body but with your mind/soul, and all you've been let into seeing is this small little portion of reality that's filled with so much misery and hate intentionally? It's like the death of your parents, man. The death of your childhood. Brand new responsibilities, but ones you will become willing and even grateful to accept, because these responsibilities actually truly matter.
Beyond being top dog, beyond having to struggle to keep family fed, beyond earning a livig..... because you do not have to earn what you have already been given. The price we pay for this life is the life we've lived before

Well unless the ET's come to my house with a fruit basket or groceries I still have to eat and feed my family. I also don't think the bank would let me not pay my mortgage just because the existence of ET has been confirmed. But hey, If my car note, house note and light bill would be forgiven I would be glad to join the galactic journey.
