Subject: What would the US Gov. Do if aliens arrived?

What? People read these?

Let's assume the aliens are somewhat friendly and would not attack unless provoked. If they did attack however, they have a vastly superior military. When they arrive, they appear in orbit with a huge ship that everyone can see clearly.

What would the US do?

Honestly? Attempt to communicate.

We're not stupid.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Send a small rocket ship to greet them or make a transmission. I'm pretty sure no one in their right minds would start firing at the first sight of intelligent life outside of Earth.

Screw everything up.

Contact the Asgard. [/stargate]

Mobilize the entire military.

Why are you asking us? Ask them!

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

Not tell us.

We're talking about the government here.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

They would just activate XCOM.

Not just for intellectual reason, who would shoot at an civilisation that can travel the stars.

That's like if a tribesman shot down a U.S. military aircraft.

Shoot them. Ask questions later. Why? Because 'Murica.

They still wouldn't do that.

  • 12.15.2012 8:50 AM PDT

They would probably attack out of blind stupidity and then try to experiment on them and acquire their weapons.

If "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is any indication, shoot at them for no reason, despite the aliens saying "We come in peace".

Shoot before asking questions because thats how Merica rolls -blam!-es!!!

  • 12.15.2012 8:55 AM PDT

Call me Stu

Shoot first, gather remaining technology ask questions later...

  • 12.15.2012 9:03 AM PDT

I love you

Attempt communication. I highly doubt they'd use military force. It would be suicide.

  • 12.15.2012 9:07 AM PDT

Break the windowsill

Show them our freedom

  • 12.15.2012 9:07 AM PDT

Actual answer: Attempt to communicate to the best of their abilities.

Dumb ass answer: HUR DUR SHOOT EM UP HUR!

  • 12.15.2012 9:08 AM PDT

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Well, we would attempt to communicate with them but eventually some moron would agitate or provoke the aliens. Then we'd try to cannibalize their technology and dissect them to see how they work.

  • 12.15.2012 9:23 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Cover it up.

Just like they did with the Vikings.
