We’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?
