What Would You Do If The World Leaders Announced The Arrivial Of Aliens?

Maggie was watching a cartoon on television; it was cut short by a news bulletin; the television broadcaster tried her best to appear calm, but she failed at hiding her emotions; everyone who was viewing the live broadcast could see that she was in a state of shock. “Good morning. This is Leslie-Ann Jenkins from Channel 7 News. Today, spaceships appeared in the skies all over the world.”

“Daddy, the aliens are here!” Maggie shouted.

Daniel thought that his five-year-old daughter was getting carried away with what she was seeing in the cartoon. He walked swiftly in the direction of the living room to see if the animator did a good job of drawing the alien (Daniel loved those sorts of things).

“Daddy, look,” Maggie said excitedly, pointing her finger to the television screen.

At first, Daniel thought that the television footage was fake; he was looking at dozens of spaceships in the sky.

After the brief footage of the spaceships ended, the President of the United States of America appeared on television; he was about to give a live speech on television via a secure room in the White House. “Good morning my fellow Americans. Today, spaceships appeared in our airspace at around 5:25 AM Eastern Standard Time, the extraterrestrials have said nothing so far and we are currently awaiting their response.”

His wife, who was supposed to be out jogging, knocked on the front door frantically. “Daniel, you have got to see this!”

Daniel opened the door to see what the chaos was all about. As soon as he opened the door, his wife, Eileen pointed at the sky, “Look!”

Maggie also came to the door to see what was going on.

Daniel and Maggie both said, “Cool,” simultaneously. They both thought that the spaceships in the sky looked amazing.

Eileen, on the other hand, was terrified. “The extraterrestrials are here! What should I do?

Daniel shrugged his shoulders and said, “I really don’t know.”

Maggie said, “I know. We will welcome them to Planet Earth.”

A Special Announcement From Renard

Before you start thinking, “Renard has finally lost his mind,” I want you to know that this is the second installment of my What if series (which is based on you telling me what you will do as well as how you will react when you are confronted with a specific piece of news); the first one was Would You Use WordPress If Google Bought It?

Today, this one revolves around world leaders telling their citizens about the existence of extraterrestrials via an emergency broadcast.

So, without further ado, it is time for you to play along.

You Might Be In A State Of Shock

You might be in a state of shock after viewing the emergency broadcast about there being extraterrestrial spaceships in the sky above you.

You might be thinking to yourself, “How could this be?”

You were taught by those educational and religious institutions that man is the only intelligent life form in the universe and that he is in charge of his domain ― the Earth.

So, if that sort of thing ever takes place, there would be a high probability of you not accepting the news of your alien visitors well.

You Might Be Okay With The Idea Of Having Extraterrestrials Around

If you are okay with having extraterrestrials around, the sight of their spaceships in the sky is not going to send you into a state of panic.

There is a high chance that:

• You will want to know where in the galaxy those aliens are from.
• You will want to know what those aliens look like; for example, if they have two arms and two legs and walk upright like you.
• You will want to know if they came in peace or to start a war.
• You will want to know if they came bearing gifts ― the types of gifts that are capable of solving all of the ills of humanity.
• You will want to know if they are staying permanently or if they are merely passing through.

You will be eager to acquire as much information as you can about those extraterrestrial beings.

You Might Be Filled With Fear

If you watched shows like War of the Worlds and Independence Day, there is a chance of you thinking:

• That the aliens are out to enslave humanity.
• That the aliens are here to kill off the majority of the human population.
• That the aliens are here to claim Planet Earth as their own.

Those shows would have conditioned you for the worst psychologically. Therefore, it would be impossible for you to think of those aliens as being altruistic.

You Might Be A Bit Skeptical

If you are one of those people who are skeptical, you will find yourself thinking along the following lines:

• Do those aliens have a hidden agenda?
• Are those aliens going to steal the Earth’s resources?
• Are those aliens going to shower us with gifts and enslave us later?
• Do those aliens plan on making us sterile so we can no longer have children?
• Are those aliens here to feed us propaganda?

Due to your high level of skepticism, you will never view those extraterrestrials as being trustworthy.

You might even go as far as to suggest to the group of people who are fearful of the aliens to merge with your group of skeptics to form the resistance ― a group of well-trained warriors whose main purpose is to infiltrate the spaceships and kill off as many extraterrestrials as they can.

You Might Allow Those Aliens To Coexist With You Provided That They Do Not Take What Is Yours

If you happen to be that type of person, it will be okay for you:

• Once they do not steal your jobs.
• Once they do not eat more than their fair share of food.
• Once they do not sweet talk your spouse and have sex with them.

If those aliens abide by your rules, then all is well with them.

You Might Not Give A Damn About Those Aliens Being Here

If you are one of those people who do not give a damn about the aliens being here on Earth, you might think the following things about them:

• Big deal, the extraterrestrials are here.
• If I come across one of those aliens while I am moving around town, I will carry about myself like I usually do.
• Oh, they were here millions of years ago and they are here to conduct scientific research; which is something that I should not concern myself about.

You will simply carry on the way you did before the arrival of the extraterrestrials.

Final Thoughts

So, which camp are you in?

Is it the one where you are totally shocked by the arrival of the aliens?

Or, is it the one where you are okay with the idea of having extraterrestrials around?

Or, it is the one where you are filled with fear?

Or, is it the one where you are filled with skepticism?

Or, is it the one where you are willing to coexist with the aliens once they do not take what is yours?

Or, is it the one where you really could not give a damn about those aliens being here?
