Would you be excited or scared ?
Apart from the obvious WTF moment do you think (whether they mingled or just visited then left) it would affect the way you personally live your life to any extent ?
I'm a believer in life out there somewhere but if they did arrive here I reckon my initial excitement would eventually give way to worrying about their intentions.

Ands taking our jobs and homes. :rolleyes::D
Of course there's nothing stopping us putting them in the England cricket team. Been doing that for years.
If it turned out nasty, and they were intent on conquest, then I'd use the resulting chaos to settle a few scores with home grown enemies, before worrying about our extra terrestrial overlords
But... maybe we could hope that any civilisation which is advanced enough to travel here, would also be equally advanced in their consideration for other species. That might be rather naive though...
...or they might be very, very hungry....:eek:
I'd take them to McDonalds
I was thinking more of blasting McDonalds leaflets into space. That would stop ANYONE travelling here.
They would either zap you with a ray gun if you did that, or give you a slap on the back whilst ordering another double bacon cheeseburger.
They could easily have colonial attitudes, particularly if they never experienced the same social evolution that we have, and decide to invade Earth to control humans for our 'benefit.'
I was thinking more of the old scifi story "To Serve Man"...
...that turned out to be the title of an Alien recipe book! :eek:

I was just thinking how they would eat a Big Mac if they had those long fingers with suckers on the end
I prefer the latter, I'm an optimist
Without a doubt they will have been around at least a billion years more than us.
To do so they would have gone through the evolutionary nightmare that is religion, war, racism etc.
What fascinates me is that I cannot imagine aliens having a form we would recognise. We assume they would be carbon based like us, but why?
The maths suggest there is life out there in it's multitude.
I hope it becomes apparent in my lifetime. Equally I hope that our governments will react appropriately. The info about Us presidents having deals with aliens is interesting if you fancy getting into conspiracy areas.
Bring 'em on I say.
Being serious and having had this type of discussion before, I do feel that there is some form of life out there, we have only scratched the surface so to speak Maybe there are others out there who have only done the same themselves or have gone or are coming nearer.
It fascinates me to think about it and scares me too
Sounds like the last girl I sexually entertained...
The thing is, if they were so much more advanced than us, we could assume that they would also be vastly more evolved.
We are only evolved from other animals, and we wouldn't expect a chimp to understand many of the concepts which we do (let alone a pig, a fish or a spider). What is to say that a vastly more evolved alien race would deem us even remotely worth a second glance?
It would be a bit of disappointing to discover that aliens had visited but we missed each other by several million years or so.
