Where formerly we assumed we were important, somehow significant, perhaps valuable, it transpires that we are but yet another species amongst a myriad of others.
In fact nothing special at all.
How could we prepare for that?
Then, and only then, will the real, deeply personal questions begin to nag at all of us. why?

It's funny that I had this talk with someone a few days ago.
I am a very peaceful and generally quiet person but I had to admit to my friend that I would probably walk down my street proudly giving the finger to any and all who didn't previously believe.
Then I would go home and watch the mayhem as the world dissolves in panic.
edit to add: I'm not sure if contact will turn out to be good or bad, but I have always wished that it would happen in my lifetime because I just want to know one way or the other, dammit.

I've seen First Responder manuals for the "Contact" scenario. Very 1960s.
So what will you do when they come?
#1 befriend translators?
Get vaccinated?
Run for the hills?
Bring a welcome fruit & cheese basket?
Imagine the day, the shock, the news, the reactions, your kids, the seniors, the army, the curfews... What would you do first? Would you follow the masses?
Would the masses be euphoric or panic?
Would you be wary or open or defensive or protective of the aliens?
What does your mind's eye see when you put yourself in that first day of all out UFO contact?

I'm ready and I plan to do exactly what I do every other day...sit at home surfing the web and caring for my wife. After all, it'll be televised, so I can listen to that while I read all the paranoid goings on here on ATS.
If/when it does happen I'm hoping for them to bring medical technology so that people like my wife can be healed and carers like me can get a proper job.
