If space aliens landed in your back yard what would you do?

Serious question:  would you;

1. go out and greet them or call 911.  
2. be happy to see them 
3. or be afraid
What would you do?

    Wait, what?   How do you know they have these energy shields and ray guns?   You seem privy to knowledge about  these first time invaders....  You're freaking one of them!!!

    I'd tell them to ignore the missing comma after the word 'yard'.  I know that I certainly can't do it.

  • If I can paraphrase a line from Russell Crowe in Gladiator, "No matter what turns up in your back yard you'll handle it better if you face it.

    Of course, if the aliens weren't extra terrestrials but Islamic terrorists armed with scimitars and IEDs I'd run like hell.

    HAHAHAHA there you go, keep those pesky spaceships away from your vehicle.  Your car may get an inferiority complex.

  • After considering Didge's answer, two different approaches come to mind: 
    If these are extraterrestrials, I'd invite them in for a round of earth libations (assuming they didn't attempt to disintegrate us) and we would discuss comparative culture and human inadequacy, and fire up the grill. 

    If it were the earthbound type of aliens, I'd simply open fire. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 11, 2017 7:33 AM MST
