An alien capable for space travel will most likely have the technology to wipe human out.

Praying is probably the only thing one can do and hope god/heaven exists.

Hide under the rock.


Nice move.. hiding under a rock will have a 100% successful survival rate. lol.

Let me join you, Patrick.

I'd try to amass metals of any kind, and hide them away in the mountains (Anywhere I can get to). Then I try to supplement their needs by selling them the metals, and attempt to get a managing position over all the other human slaves be a manager for their workforce.

That or fight back. As long as possible, until it's useless to try fighting continuously.

Chances are I'd try to benefit from them as much as possible. Ask for a bit of land, grow their food, work, you know, kind of like normal.

Depends about that how they look, how smart are they and all other stuff.
I would probably steal van and rob all kind of nice stuff from stores and then go hiding somewhere and enjoy all my free stuff, thanks to aliens Tongue

What's your plan in case of an alien invasion??? [...]

Sneeze on them.


Grab a towel and go to the pub for a pint.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather die? I mean, Vogon poetry is supposedly pretty bad. Tongue


Anyway, movie/book plots aside, I believe chances are we wouldn't even understand what we were looking at if any alien life were to come this way, let alone have any meaningful chance to fight them. Think of it this way: assuming we don't kill each other or enter another "dark age" before then, what will humans be like in 1000 years? What about 10000 years? Can you imagine all the knowledge we'll possess, and everything we will be able to do? Well, the elements and conditions needed for life as we know it have been around for at least 8 or 9 billion years; life on Earth is at most 4 billion years old. We could potentially be faced with species that have been around billions of years before Earth was even created. Assuming their technological progress was mostly positive, who knows what they would be able to do, or what they could possibly want with Earth for that matter.

Another thing I find interesting is this: even if we were lucky to be visited by a species that were just sufficiently advanced to have practical interstellar capabilities (FTL), but otherwise similar to humans, I'm not sure there would be much reason to assume they came to "invade the planet". I mean, any decent interstellar propulsion system would likely require prodigal amounts of energy to operate; energy which could potentially be redirected to some form of energy-matter conversion technology. Why waste resources on an invasion fleet and on a voyage to risk your hide fighting some weird species, when you could probably use all that energy to just create what it was you were after in the first place?

Reputation first.
I would hide underground with my parents. Then, I'll build a atomic bomb and then I'll do explode it to kills alien Grin Grin

Then after a quick pint at the local, we might as well head on to the restaurant at the edge of the universe?

Sit in the front yard with my shotgun. They'll either shake hands or die.  Cheesy

develop a computer virus and destroy their mother ship. Worked on Independence Day.


Or just go to chemical and biological warfare, like War of The Worlds.




nah,nah,nah

they're aren't used to our bacteria, bacteria is going to kill them Cheesy

which movie is that?

I saw that somewhere

I'll gather all the canned food, plant seeds, ammo, weapons, clothes.etc and then take refuge in some remote canyon or a cave. A cave will be the perfect refuge. But it is quite difficult to find one which is sufficiently long and at the same time safe for residence.

we're talking about aliens
if they were able to travel millions of light years to come to our planet
they will be able to find&kill someone with a gun

I see no reason why they would want to kill everyone, there's plenty of planets like earth with less evolved creatures (I guess), if they come for the resources they only need our obediance, not our death

a rebellion altough heroic would hardly help
altough, go for it Cheesy

we must show Earth is ours to keep Smiley

Heck, I would join them. Can't you think of all the tech they would have that we don't? It would have to be quite impressive considering the fact that they got to us way before we could get to them.

how can u join them if u cant understand or if they think u are an enemy that if u just show ur face uull gonna get killed no exceptions

how does one start to talk about god, souls and other kinds of bullshit when talking about an alien invasions? Shocked

Luckly my sarcasm detector prevented me to give you an obvious answer Smiley

I think I didn't mean it that way, an alien invasion may not be very probable but gods and souls are at another level of improbability...

Mmm... it seems I have to recalibrate my detector.

BTW, come on, it would be a though fight to declare what is more improbable than what.
I would put all of them on the same plane.

Just to be clear, I'm questioning about the (im)probability of all these events in the cinematographic way they are reported.
On the other side, I'm quite sure that extraterrestrial life does exist and also - about the human being - I tend to think that there have to be something more than our meat, our physical body. I'm not so sure that our mind, our thoughts, our coscience (maybe consciousness is the right word) can simply switch off and suddenly vanish when our heart stops to pump.
That said, I tend to smile in the same way when I read about reptilians, angels, demons or alien invasions.

Read Daniel Dennett or see his talks on consciousness...
