Then pictures would be posted on ATS and debunked as swamp gas from Obama’s A…..
Why do you think we would have even a remote chance of warning ourselves?
Even if we got a warning what would we do?…. (for some reason I now have a picture in my head of Wile E Coyote opening an umbrella to stop an avalanche from falling on his head)

OP you have watched way too much TV.
Why would anyone on their way to or from Earth want to fly through the plane of the system. Why not fly in from straight up or straight down and avoid the possibility of running into the odd piece of rock.
Every damn SciFi show always shows all the ships passing through the planets. Why would you do this! It is just plain stupid.
So OP now you will need your early warning sats to cover the entire sphere of the solar system out to Mars. Now that is a lot of sats to build, put up there and keep up there.

They would be governed by the same laws of physics, but it would not apply nor be a problem as they would have overcome the laws with advanced technology.
Wait, what is that I hear? “Warning, alien invasion imminent in 0.2 seconds and counting” (yep, you would not have time to soil your pants)

edit on 21/6/2012 by Mickierocksman because: See, absolutely no one picked up on my sub-text in my last post thus proving that really, no one reads it….. Or perhaps the free beer or date with the OP was not enough to persuade someone to reply? So I will up the ante, now 2 beers for the first person to read my edit comment and reply to it…. Or 2 dates with the OP, first date will be about alien early warning systems and the second date will be all about how aliens don’t have boobs anymore.
