What would you do if you saw an alien?

I will not see any because there is no such thing as aliens.

 

Interesting question. It depends on the situation, I guess. For example, whether or not the alien appears to be friendly or not. Either way, let's assume it's a friendly alien, I'd most definitely try to find any means of communication with it. I'd try to learn as much as I can about it. As it'd be happening anyway, it wouldn't make a difference if I'd get super scared or not, so I'd try to remain as cool as possible.

 

It's one of those situations where I can easily say right now what I'd do because its not happening right now and then once it happens, it would be a totally different story! For sake of answering the question, I would run, whether it looks friendly or not. I just would not take the chance of it harming me while I'm standing there, I would give myself some chance of living by attempting to run away.

 

I am afraid of the smallest of insects so I know that I'd be freaking out if I see an alien. My first instinct would probably be to run but if it had any chance of seeing me I'd just hide until it leaves.

 

Sure, if it understands and speaks English.

You seem very certain about this. How can you claim such certainty?

 

Well, I heard a person who was sharing her one on one encounter with aliens on radio (it was a paranormal radio show) that they communicate telepathically. So I guess we will understand each other if ever that happens.

 

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that what that person said was true. The chances of there only being one type of alien are slim. While one species might use telepathy, others might not.

 

Seeing how people capture animals to study them and release them later with GPS devices I would not be surprised if aliens did the same on us as reported...

 

Yeah, you've got a point, but I hope the alien that I will encounter can speak/understand English or use telepathy..
