Wtf?

Sorry, but that was my reaction. Anyway, no, instead of being accepted, they would be captured and tested by the governments OBAMA which would lead to a war between spiders and people.

No matter what aliens look like, humans will make a mistake and cause war between the two species.
We're just that socially sane.

Yeah, Sector 9 was bth a great movie and an accuarate example of would happen.

I think you mean District 9, but yeah, it was a good example.

Sadly, the masses of humans won't try to ally themselves with any aliens.
The average human hates that which is unknown to them, and will sometimes try to destroy it.
Sure, there may be some actually willing to become allied, but because of the idiodicy of the masses, there'd be some sort of war.
Eventually ending in one side being destroyed, or allying to defeat another alien species, or one side allying with that species to destroy the other.

It's sad, really.

And it's not just actual aliens either. "Foreign People" are often disliked, because they're different.
And if the tiny differences make them hated, how do you think an alien species would be treated?

Oh, yeah, I get confused with mexican names sometimes.
District 9 = Sector 9 in México.

We kill everything that is different or we don't uderstand so yeah war against aliens would be the only actual option. If it were to happen.

[Slusheee]

If they come in peace, I honestly have no idea what would happen. I do that all these science fiction movies and books are probably going to have a negative effect if aliens ever do come to Earth.

A lot of the religious people would probably throw a fit, and the Government would probably either capture them for experimentation and interrogation, or they would try to make peace. (The second one is much, much less likely.)

The second one would be much better, but harder to achieve.
And if it was to happen, then how would the religious people act?

Would they try making the aliens Christians?

I'm trying hard not to laugh.

If aliens do happen to appear on Earth, lets hope they meet the smarter people first. Humanity is blind to see that strangers could come simply to meet us, or request something. If they end up our enemies, and that would pose some problems.

But then again, they could want to destroy us or something. Then what?

On another topic, what do you think they'd be like? Their looks? Language? Size? Personality?

And for all we know, there could be thousands of invisible microscopic aliens watching us right now.

[El_Mustachio93]

Well, if they aliens have any presence of mind, or whatever proto-mind like alterative they've got going on, they'll do what their alleged predecessors did and work silently with the government. So come fabled disclosure time, the population might be in xenophobic uproar, but they should have the government's protection. The issue I could see arising here is foreign government. Would they consider this as a destabilisation of power? What if the aliens contacted a corrupt government system and unwittingly funded a terrorist organisation with space age weaponry. The potential... Clearly this is why they keep themselves hidden.

[mechazeep]

Any alein in their right mind would avoid earth. Why the hell would they want to come here?

[Xemnas768]

Sci fi geek here.

Really, I would actually love to make an alliance with any aliens no matter what they look like.

[DRAKEN KORIN404]

If there are aliens we probably could'nt concieve anything that is remotely close to how an alien would look like.

[Yabba Dabba Dul]

we'd probably kill it with a napkin.

[mechazeep]

we'd probably kill it with a napkin.

Giant napkins?

Diiiirty napkins.

[DaShroom]

Even if 99 % of the human race would embrace the aliens (which they wouldn't) it would only take one high-ranking nutcase with a gun to cause a war; just like that movie Dr. strangelove (i love that film)

[Kisamefishfries]

Any alein in their right mind would avoid earth. Why the hell would they want to come here?

Avalid point... but seeing how we might be the only other intelegent life form within how ever many billions of lightyears within their possibility they would come to us in hopes of recieving more advanced technology. Afterall thats what some people here might think of it as. "they might havemore advanced stuff then we do so we can use that to advance faster" They might have similar thinking....

[Bloob]

Although aliens would probably never be accepted, I doubt that they'll ever actually reach Earth either.
If aliens are in another galaxy, then there's no possible way to reach our galaxy unless they live thousands of years.
Even traveling at the speed of light, it would take well over the average life span to reach another galaxy.

Plus they'd take one look at Earth and say "These idiots don't know what they're doing."
