Ok, assuming for a second that there is intelligent life out there (Assuming they are freindly), and either:

A. The govt disclose information that aliens have landed and are continuing to visit our planet

B. An alien space ship lands in the middle of New york/london.


what would happen AFTER contact??? would we form a relationship with the species, would Earth representatives go to there planets? would we share technology? would we integrate them into society?

would people attempt to hurt them/see them as a threat???


thaugts?

All of those questions would be quite possible.

We'd all go out for milk and cookies?

I think that when it will happen the contact , will be the Church to
convert the E. T

In NY, someone would scream "I'm walkin ere!" and flip them the bird and walk around.
In London, they'd be arrested for disturbing the peace.

This reminds me of that scene in Independence Day, after the large ships settled over the first major cities. There was a news broadcast playing in L.A. where the anchor was saying "... and authorities have asked Los Angelinos to please stop firing random shots at the spacecraft above, you might inadvertantly start an intergalactic war..." LOL, what an accurate estimation of immediate post-contact.

mass experements, mass confusion, big misunderstandings that will probly fuck us over, say a kid passes one a joint, etc. if shit goes good we will be genetic materal for experements most likly, if shit goes bad a select few will be genetic use and the rest desstroyed

How do we know for sure that contact hasn't happened already?

Yeah, man, I remember that, it was funny.lol.

My guess is that a lot of people would feel their day had been interrupted especially if they were actually busy. I myself would be all eyes and ears whether they were good or bad.

If the assumption is the the government is in active exchange with them then I would guess that arrangements would be made for public interaction with them.

If the government made such an announcement but was only disclosing what it knew from investigation/encounters but was not in contact then. UFO buffs would party for a few days and major funding would begin from various sources to get photos/videos and any other information based on the disclosed way to to best observes them. A few religions and nutty types would express their somehow super amazing incite into them and the show would go on. However, any aggressive behavior on their part could cause riots.


All the world would hold it's breath to see what they did. But if they did something like this, I can already tel you what would happen.

First off, they would be friendly. There would be no reason to land like that if they were hostile. Hostile landings would be in great numbers and very aggressive. So they would be out to start negotiations. The media would cover this like crazy. If they just waited in their craft rumors that it is a hoax would start up. Unlike a government announcement, this could start riots depending on the number of craft and any possible show of aggression the craft/occupants gave. They area would be blocked off by military personnel and government authorities would take over. You would have to wait for press releases to find out more.



In a word, no. Interaction would be limited. The most important factor being a change in state of mind would be needed. Anything else would be a form of suicide.


There is a factor to our response to a landing that you would not believe if I told you due to past encounters. It is something they fear. So if they did land and were not hostile it would be very very touch and go. Likely it would even be done in overly exotic craft because the craft they have would stand a very high chance of triggering this reaction they fear.

Would humans tr to hurt them? Yes, if they suddenly showed up and start walking through our streets they would be attacked. There would be a mental hurdle to get past here.

If they were smart they would keep the interchange very very low and let humans build up an excitement over the idea of meeting them in space.

An interchange of technology would be a show of faith. Medical would be one of the best interchanges due to how backwards ours is.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts.

Okay, I will answer this from my Raelian religious beliefs....

In 1973, a man named Rael was visited by an ET who told him the truth about humanities origins. All life on Earth was created by advanced ET's in the distant past and they were mistaken for gods. They educated various prophets throughout the years to keep us on the moral path and this is how different religions started. Now we are in the age of science, we can understand them and they've educated Rael in order to awaken humanity.

They told him that they want an official embassy to be built for them, so they can land officially without being mistaken for invaders. This will only happen when humanity have taken significant steps toward being peaceful. When the time is right (and humanity have been educated about who the ET's are and why they're landing) the ET's will land officially at the embassy to meet with the world media and world leaders.

Now, to answer your question - what happens now?

The Elohim (that's what they were called by ancient Jews...it means 'those who came from the sky') have promised to give us the benefit of their advanced science (25,000 years ahead of us) because we have proven that we are mature enough to create world peace and we have proven that we are 'adults'. Humanity will have matured and are now ready to meet their creators as one humanity meeting another (instead of dumbly adoring them).

The Elohim will teach scientists how to cure diseases, how to solve all of the worlds problems. They will guide us toward a better system for the world.

Can you imagine what their 25,000 years of scientific advance will give us?

It will solve all pain, all suffering. No one will need to work because nanotechnology and biological robots will do all of the labour. Our life expectancy will be extended scientifically to 750 years - and for those who deserve it, the chosen ones will be able to live forever (through cloning/memory transfer).

We will go into space....we will create life on other planets much like our creators did.

It will be a true paradise on earth....and all of this was predicted by the ancient religions. Many talk about the sky gods returning again one day. The Bible says that 'god' will land and set up his 'kingdom' on Earth.

Lol! What came first the chicken or the egg? The embassy or the nation that needed to the embassy?

well, as for me, I would come to this board and say "Oh.. ok..I was wrong. You guys were right. Cool." haha.

josh.. youre hebrew needs some serious work man. Elohim does not mean "those who come from the sky".

It is my opinion that contact, face to face here, would help our species to grow up a little.

I firmly believe that contact would finally put to rest so many myths that have been with humanity for so long. It would finally reveal the whole plan. We would finally see the truth, and it would lead to the revealing of the whole cosmic truth that has been since the beginning of time. Then everyone would see who was right and who was wrong, and we would have no choice but to agree because we would then know all the facts. It will be a glorious day indeed!

The chicken, of course. It was designed to lay eggs.

Well, no official source says that Elohim means that. But if you believe that Rael was contacted by an ET, this ET said that Elohim means 'those who came from the sky' in ANCIENT hebrew.

Most sources admit that 'Elohim' is a plural word and most say that it means 'gods'.

Do you really think that gods came from the sky and created us? Or perhaps it makes more sense that people mistaken for gods came from the sky and created us?

'Elohim' meaning 'those who came from the sky' seems the be the most logical explaination.

Could you please interpret the word for me from your perspective/knowledge of Hebrew?

-Josh

I agree, but many people will still hold onto their faith. The Vatican would tell the ET's that they were created by God too and try to educate them about God.

This is fine, people will be allowed to believe whatever they want - as long as they aren't being harmful about it.

I can see many faithful people calling the ET's 'demons' and that they've been sent by Satan. So whatever they show us or tell us, they will point to the book of revelation and say "Here is the great deception that God talked about! Look at the wonders they produce! They tell us there is no God? They are from Satan".....

These people are fine to believe what they want - I just hope they don't try to hurt the ET's (obviously they never could because they're so far advanced, but the mere attempt of it is just insulting).

These people will eventually die off, having vowed to never partake in the medical solutions that the ET's provide (extended lifespan etc).

Already happened. World leaders met, accepted technology, merged their politcal social and economic views with our own. This merge of technology sociology politics and economics hasn't worked so well for us. They also have a plan to attempt to merge our dna's. This hasn't worked so well.
