I did a lot of thinking about this subject . What if ( when ) ET decided to make their selfs visiable to the common people . What would their reaction be . This would be world wide . What would you think would happen . I would like to hear your comments on this .

I think there would be a wide variety of reactions. Some people would be terrified, some would refuse to believe it. A lot of people would ignore it and go about their daily lives as if nothing had ever happened. Many people would probably eagerly await the arrival of their cosmic space brothers. Some would be up in arms and would demand that the military shoot the "alien invaders" on sight. Some people would probably become hysterical and commit suicide. Others would probably try to find some way to capitalize off of the aliens and their technology and advanced power. I really think that eventually people would be able to accept it and deal with it pretty easily. We have become so accustomed to seeing aliens on tv and in the movies that it wouldn't really be that much of a shock to see them in real life. I don't think we would have a repeat of the War of the Worlds hysteria that occurred when the radio broadcast was being made. People back then knew practically nothing about outer space and the universe. We are a lot more educated and open-minded now...at least in my opinion we are. Most people anyway.

Most people are NOT better educated nor are they more open-minded now than they were back during the war of the worlds scare IMO...
I've worked in customer service for seven years give or take. The vast majority of humanity become stupid when introduced into an environment they are not familiar with... like in a convenience store for example. They stand right in front of the hot chocolate dispenser and ask me where the hot chocolate is for example... this happens a lot more often than you think it does...

If people were to suddenly find themselves in a universe where they knew ETs were real- they would be just as confused and hysterical as they were back during the war of the worlds scare IMO...

I have thought long and hard why any Govt. would keep a lid on disclosure . I think the answer is the general populations reaction if e.t. were disclosed and what type of response the public would make. I believe it would most likely be havoc everywhere as people would be ransacking everything preparing for an invasion draining out the resources such as food, gas, oil, arms and supplies for the long term. 'War Of The World's' says something in itself. I can see things going downhill quickly if they did disclose everything they know. I believe this is why they wont say anything because they want to protect us from ourselves. Paranoia will destroy ya .

I think the answer is like the one in the Men in Black.. A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it |
People would panic..it would be an excuse to fire guns at anything that moves..to release all the nasty pent up emotions they've kept bottled up for so long and a lot of adrenalin. To loot and to in general..act like fools. A small section of the population (mostly scientists, contactees and abductees) would be ready and clamoring for the answers we've looked for. You have to wonder ..who would they contact for this revelation. Not the government..they're certainly not trustworthy...would they commandeer media? How would they go about disclosing themselves? We are dangerous to them...in our igannance....(and I don't mean 'us' I mean population in general). So what...pull up in a ship over major cities? Would they find Washington as important as we do..and what about other countries....or are we just that special? They would have to put a LOT of thought into this. Too many people have seen movies that didn't portray aliens in a good light..and they have guns (some have more than guns). Chaos rules over brain. Maybe they would use the mental contacts they have been working on for so long..to act as go betweens.

Jo . I think you are pretty much right . Where I live in Ky. If a craft would land and ET would come out of coarse they would have some kind of shielding to protect them . People would panic . ETwould have some way to calm them down . As for the fire arms there would be a few who try to shoot them . It won't work ( read the Kelly Ky encounter ) ( The Sutton family ) If a craft would land I would have to go there and try to talk to them . But are they here to gather people like cattle to eat ? or help us . That is the question Thanks to all who posted on this question . spotless
