What would you say to an alien?

alien1.jpgWe’ve all been there — or at least some of us have, according to the UFO report — you’re sitting there at night quietly fishing, minding your own business, when all Hell breaks loose, bright lights flashing everywhere and down comes the flying saucer again. No chance of getting a nibble now.

But the little men in green overalls seem quite friendly and after all the “take me to your leader” stuff is over, they seem to want to chat.

Scientists from the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence project believe any aliens who manage to make contact will be far more advanced than us so you might need to be a bit careful about what you tell E.T.

SETI says we’ve been a bit idealistic so far, sending up all sorts of positive messages about mankind in the first Voyager spacecraft in 1977 and that perhaps a bit more of the dark side like war and global warming wouldn’t go amiss.

Do you believe flying saucers could exist — and what would YOU say to an alien?

UFO has been invented by human, and will be buried as fantasy by humans. The evolutionist loves to pump the UFO saga in the media, thus to support the notion that there was no creation. As research in the last 10 years with modern technology concluding towards life was never a simple creation, which just evolved, and became who we are today, fossils of millions old herrings and mackerel of the same of size of today’s once can be seen in museums. More research will come to light to support the notion of creation, rather then the fantasies of invention in human minds.

There is no doubt that there are at least billions upon billions of other civilisations in the universe. It is just arrogance to think we are the only ones.

I’d ask them to take me back to theirs for a week or so to experience:

Exotic alien food and drink

Weird alien drugs

Weird alien music

Weird alien sex rituals.

and Yucel….

If you are saying we were ‘created’ by some higher being, or a God, then he must have been an alien because he didn’t come from earth did he? He created it.

I’d warn them that Earth is populated by fools and nasty b*st*rds who will eventually destroy it, so they would be wise to go away and find a better place.

I say Mike T that not a very nice thing to say to a visitor of Earth. Although there are a lot of nasty people on earth you have obviously had some bad experiences with bullying in the past but were not all bad.
By saying that you are putting us all in the same category, and if i may be see bold to say being prejudiced to the kind hearted people in this world.

Well I hope you are not the first person the aliens see when they land, Mike T. If they took your advice then we would miss out on all the aliens have to offer such as new technologies and entertainment.

Why do you hate your planet so much Mike?

Bog off we got enough immigrants as it is :)

I partly agree with Mike T, and I can’t believe I live on the same planet as Yucel. I would ask the aliens to please take over the world because they couldn’t possibly do a worse job.
