if the earth is under attack from alien invasion, how well the military(governments), and people of world is prepared?
whats your vote and why?
thank you.

No doubt there is a covert government plan, to bury themselves in bunkers or something. But a world wide plan against an invasion does not exist.




However, Time could be a factor in preperation, but it would all depend on what type of invasion, where and how.

my opinion is that the earth is unprepared for any kind of alien incident, friendly or hostile. the GOV. would run and hide, the military is a joke, we can barely get a space transport into orbit, we couldn't protect ourselves from an asteroid much less a determined invasion (heck, we cant keep aliens outside the borders of the US)... JMO

Military is a joke? Well, I'll try not to take take personally. Some might say the civilians are a joke.

Prepared?


That depends on their level of technology, and their vulnerabilities.

i feel we are prepared....I feel that if an alien race did want to come and attack us....we'd probably see them coming from a distance...and we'd more then likely send them some type of mesage that lets them know what would happen if they try and anything funny. We'd more then likely gang up on these aliens as a united world and take them out easily. I feel that there is probably no race that is as violent as us here in america. Aliens don't even put fear into people's eyes...expecially not mine..because I know deep down that we were all raised to defend for our beliefs....and my beliefs is that if i can't live on this earth....nobody is living on it....but I doubt an alien race would travel lights years to come and blow us up...that's just really ridiculous...and probably a waste of time for the alien species. I'm sure they hav ebetter things to do besides kill innocent humans that can't even leave their world at will.

loads of articles and alien abductee accounts have revealed the earth is already occupied with a secret war between Reptiloids and other races. This issue seems to bring up the agreement with EBE's technology trade in exchange for hydrogen and magnetics for production of energy. This collaboration with the government and EBE's has led research being conducted in underground bases. This is, I believe the reason why secret underground bases are associated with alien activity. The aliens are not really attacking us, they are defending the resources from other extraterrestrials.

Take a look at the Conspiracy Theories section on this forum! You will realise there is a lot you have not heared of.

What kind of preparation are you talking about? Material preparation, or the will to fight?



They have not revealed any such thing. Until there is some strong emperical evidence supporting it, it remains a story.



Take a look at the Conspiracy Theories section on this forum! You will realise there is a lot you have not heared of.

I really don't care how advanced they are....they couldn't beat us in a hand to hand combat...expecially with those big eyes of theirs...i'd hit em in the eye one time and have em running back home to their mommy.

we can't see asteroids till their nearly here, some times not till they ARE here. all they'd need to do is bombard the earth from orbit, if the aliens were to use asteroids as weapons, we couldn't touch them.

If the earth had something they REALLY wanted, they'd come and take it. an alien race set on possessing this world wouldn't care about the local natives.

assuming they are NICE might be a mistake... didn't the aztec welcome the spanish... look where it got them! we don't know the aliens aren't exploring for recourses, just like we would if we were a space faring people, and maybe earth like planets aren't everywhere like on the sci-fi series/movies... JMO

u think that our governments don't have secret things that we can't even imagine? your wrong if you think other wise. We have secret societies that work day to day on coming up with new innovative ideas for war against other races in the universe. Sure they could shoot an asteriod at us...but from where? if they are billions of light years away...it would take way to long for the asteriod to reach us...by the time it did reach us we'd be able to deflect it with a plasma photon laser....only way for them to do damage to us i to actually come here from their distant planet. otehr then that they wouldn't be able to do shiznap to us. and if they are real beings they will fight us man to man...fist to fist...if not they are purley skeered of our brute strength

If they have the technology to come all the way to earth, then i belive that they can easily wipe us out if that is what they want. And btw, we don't know what wepons they posses. Maybe they have technologi to make their spaseships invinsible so we wouldn't even se them comming. We wouldn't have a chance then.

Well if you didn't know we have nano technology that can makes air crafts invisible.....doesn't matter if they wnated us...they'd already have come and got us....I'm sure fi there is other races out there.....there has to be a universal government setup some way...and im sure there is laws against visting other planets intil they are ready for enhancements.

Stephen Hawking himself has said that if it were to happen it would be a no contest victory for the advanced ET's- but who says they'll attack us anyway?They'll most likely come in peace.

Well that depends on the aliens. If they have technology greater than ours, then no we are not prepared. But if we're in the same boat, then I think earth has a chance.

if they are more advanced then us in technology....that doesn't mean they can win a war...im sure of that...they might be able to fly millions of light years....but can they makea grilled cheese samiche?!?!?! i hardly doubt it.

For the LAST TIME, what kind of cheese?!

We have AIDS, HIV, Asian Bird Flu, Bin Laden..etc yeah we can take them

Don't you think it depends on the technology?

Sure it does, I agree. But look at it this way there immune system is different. Give a shot to Mr. Alien and he goes back his space ship and infects his whole crew, they die one by one. As the virus spreads we make a comeback. ( it's just a thought )

And they could easily do that to us, correct?

They could, but exactly what you said technology. I think they would use technology to suppress us, and there's no way we could compete. The only way would be biological weapons.

If they are so far advanced they must have eliminated the viruses they are prone to. So....we give them a shot of HIV, leave a bunch of needles on the ground.

Nonononono, that is pure speculation. Sure, since the government is experimenting with tech on average 30 years more advanced than public tech, they *could* possibly have it, but theres no publicly known working model.



Maybe they just found us? Maybe something will happen to them to make them want to come here and get us? Maybe they elected a new president who decided that they should go on a conquest.



Ahh, a sort of "United Nations" of sorts?



Just like the League of Nations stopped Hitler, or the UN prevented many countries from violating their laws?

Theres a fundamental difference in war vs other humans, and war vs aliens. Against aliens, a scorched Earth policy doesnt necessairly work.



Maybe they're pacifists? But in that case, they wouldnt be attacking the Earth. Chances are that, if they're attacking the Earth, and they actually made it all the way to the Earth in a reasonable timeframe, they are technologically advanced enough to have very powerful weapons which we could very well not be immune to. Hell, chances are, all they'd need is enough nukes. Or they could just deflect a series of asteroids to come hit the Earth, although this would be a less assured victory.



1. You'd have to first of all get close enough to infect the alien, without him knowing it at that, and without infecting yourself.
2. You would have no way of knowing if it would work or not.
3. You'd have to pray that they havent got increddible immune systems.
4. You'd have to pray that they dont have the technology necessary to come up with a cure fast enough.
5. And when the ship is infected and they all die, how do you propose to kill the ones on the armada headed towards Earth?

Prepared?

We are still fighting amongst ourselves....how could we fight a technologically superior force?
Look what happened in Iraq...we (USA) walked over them like they were not there and they had some Arms that were close to the tech level that we have.

A chance......I don't think much of one.

1. It's survival, we will come up with a device.
2. There will be an effect...I'm sure of that
3. Our virus is as alien to them as we are. There bodies can't fight it. They would have to study.
4. Highly unlikely.... They would have to start from scratch. I am confident Aids is a earth virus.
5. That I dont know.....but it would be a confidence builder.

Thats wishful thinking. We could very well not come up with a device.



You're a fool then. You cant be sure of anything.



Their bodies sure could fight it. It doesnt matter if a virus is alien to them at all... you know the flu you get? Its not "known" to our bodies, it is pretty much alien to our bodies. Why? Because the flue mutates from year to year. THe one we get infected by is not the same one we were infected by previously, yet our bodies manage to fight it off. You have no way of knowing whether their bodies wouldnt be strong enough to fight it off, or if they would.



And they possibly could have had a similar virus... and btw, aids isnt a fast killer.

Not only that, but they could also know enough about how a virus works and how to fight a virus that no matter what virus humans come up with, they could cure.



And instead of trying to subjugate us, maybe they'd decide to wipe out all life on the Earth instead in response to this?

The whole situation is full of unknowns. You cant take the best case scenario and then act like everything would be ok.

We'd diffently fall under their might...I would treason against me planet and join them probably. I'm not stuped enough to try and fight a civilization that could only be 5 years to 10000 more advance to us...

You lack conifidence. Were you absued as a child or a victim of some sort of crime. If you were I feel bad for you. That would make you an easy target. You need to grow some balls.

Let's wait and find out

How do I know that its possible that we could not come up with a device? Simple, because theres no reason to think that we would definitly come up with a device, no matter the circumstances.



I lack confidence? Not at all. I'm quite confident in what I can do. I'm not, however, foolishly assuming I'm invulnerable and fighting for a lost cause when there could be a better alternative. Being realistic does not make me an easy target, what makes you an easy target is overestimating yourself, underestimating the enemy, and working off of the best case scenario as if it was the only case. Theres a reason why in the military we prepare for the worst case scenario. You foolishly think you have confidence, when instead you have stupidity, making you the vulnerable one, risking everything on some foolish plan which only you think would succeed, while in reality, it has a greater chance of failing.



I'll tell you what. Join the army, become an infanteer, and then tell me that and maybe you may have a point and it may perhaps affect me in some miniscule way or another. Until then, I'll just continue laughing at the civvies who think I dont have balls because I am not foolish enough to assume everything will go perfectly as if there was some higher power championing humanity.



No you dont, you just said the exact opposite. Hell, I even quoted you on it. "There bodies can't fight it." remember?

I honestly want peace with the extraterrestrials; if there sentient, we should consider them equal. But if they do turn out hostile...

We should deal with them like this...threaten to nuke ourselves to oblivion... o-o

We would lose in a fight. Plain and simple. If they have the technology to come here from whereever it is they are from, then more than likely they are far more advaced than us in weaponry.
And if they hate humans, they will like me.
If they like humans, they will like me.

Hell, screw you guys, i'm joining the aliens!

PEACE

Huh. Anybody ever see "War of the Worlds"? But yeah, peace would be great. I don't feel like annhilating another entire race.

TeraLink Was Here!

IMHO, trying to anticipate what aggressive form of action an alien race would take against us a futile waste of time. The only examples we have to rely on is our own aggressive actions and tactics we have used against ourselves.

An alien life form attacking us with (obviously) superior technology would present us with tactical problems we've yet to dream of.

While I believe the GOVERNMENT might be prepared, I certainly don't believed that the rest of society is prepared. With all of the secrecy and coverups that exist, we do not know how much and what exists that are beyond human capabilities. I do not think we are even remotely prepared. Our attack weapons are probably toys to aliens. Who knows what awaits us...

hi i come from the uk and i think the only way we can be prepared is
if we have alien technology to use against them

their would be no united world, every world leader is to ignorant for that, plus all the leaders would go hide underground, the only things we could use against alien races if they attacked us would be nuclear bombs but even with that it would screw up our planet so we'd be killing ourselves to

I agree. But i do think there would be some who would try and strike a bargain with the aliens to save there own skins.

This is a fool hardy question.
First since they have been here for so long they must certainly know almost everything about us, that would surely include anything top secret or planned.
Second since there is good indication that we are dealing with several alien species I doubt it very much it would be a one on one war. We would find ourselves versus a crowd all with greatly advanced technology.
And the question would remain " Why not kill us off way before we even discovered electricity or back in the first couple of our centuries when ther was only millions of us and not 6 billion and counting?"

Any of you watch the movie "BATTLEFIELD EARTH" with John Travolta.
In that scenario (correct me if i'm wrong) that battle only lasted 7 or eight minutes, when the Earth fell to those aliens.
I believe that this would be pretty close to what would take place, time wise.

i think it depends on just how advanced a civilization we would be fighting against, im sure that all the combined Military forces on Earth could hold back an invasin from a civilization just a few hundered years more advanced, though i bet many would die, but then if your talking about thousand or millions of years more advanced then we would be doomed if they sent anything more than a small attack force, in the end i bet we would end up using nuclear weaponry and destroy the Earth along with the aliens. a small invasion though i think we could easily defend from.

if there was an alien attack we would have to use as u said nuclear boms would hert us to
but if some haw in some way we got a piece of there wepons we could use it against them.

well if they come we will give them one hell of a fight its fight or flight and as theres no where for us to run to i think we will band together as a planet to defend our home.and if we lose at least we will take some of them with us.

underground^ thats where all the chicken leaders will go, leave the rest of us to be slaughtered like sheep

We dont need to be, it ain't gonna happen

That is a very difficult answer. I think that it all depends on if these other species are going to invade i mean who says there is going to be a big War of the Worlds scenario? I believe it is possible that these other species simply want to form an alliance or friendship in someway but that is just my personal opinion.

If i am wrong and these species are here to invade/take over then i am not sure how prepared we are. I mean to know how prepared we are for an alien attack we need to know how well prepared our governments are. But since the government are not really one to talk about UFO's and if there is a possible threat i doubt we will ever know. I think that if an alien invasion did occur there would be a hell of a lot of confusion.

Sam.

Forget about real aliens, we can't even handle illegal immigration. =(

none,since if they wanted to destroy us,they would have done so long time ago! SINCE THERE MORE ADVANCE THEN HUMANS!

Thinking negitive about these visitors in such way,I find insulting to human IQ,how far people must always jump to a conclusion about them,with no understanding of there intentions,by starting a useless war.
as far as i'm concernd war is nothing but a bad virus infection in the mind.

Also don't belive the so call alien horror movies version,it only giving off bad negitive view of them,and over exaturating,also the makers of the movies are most likely none belivers.

well.... they could be the type of race that might want more of a challenge, sort of like when your playing games, you want a challenge rather then to just slaughter your opponents, that might be the way they're, if their hostile that is, if their peacefull then they might just be waiting for the right time

What is the true meaning behind the words in General MacArthur's statement?

General Douglas MacArthur

"You now face a new world, a world of change. We speak in strange terms, of harnessing the cosmic energy, of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy."

"The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets."

General Douglas MacArthur- Oct. 8, 1955

By all means of respect, but we have no idea what he meant. He could be talking about Martians for all we know (he didn't say interstellar, but that could just be that his comprehension of the difference between interplanetary and interstellar weren't that good).

But the point is in the late 1800s the canals of Mars were hypothesized to be artificial and made by Martians, further underlined by a book published by Lowell in 1906. The debate waved back and forth, but it wasn't before the 1960s the canal issue was finally resolved with the arrival of spacecrafts. I think my have my years fairly correct, but if I am wrong, please do correct me.

Consequently, there was at those times a belief that life could exist even in our own solar system and that it could be a threat was obviously something that had to be taken into account. And that Martians were considered plausible in the main populace is only emphasized by the 1938 Orson Welles broadcast of "War of the Worlds", which caused quite an uproar.

So, admittedly, in my honest opinion comments like this from 1940s and 50s have to be taken with a grain of salt. I might be needing more salt than others for this, but some of the public statements I find are coloured by the times.

If they do come it will likely be to over take us...maybe not at first but eventually. Look at wars and so called "occupations" of other countries. If these ETs came from far off becuase their own planet has died or the fact that they are not going home, they'll be here to stay.

They may indeed be farming our womens eggs, stealing our water and/or planning on overpowering us as we speak.

I feeel at first we'd be powerless against them. This untill the governments and people join forces and lord knows that'd be awhile until WE put aside OUR differecnes to fight the enemy. Then we might be able to run them off.

BTW- If we lose our gun rights, we'd have a harder time fighting them off....or any rogue nation for that matter. You got a gun totin' country boy here and any aliens that come here are gonna eat lead!!!!!

It depends if they want to conquer Eartth for their own purposes (resources, overpopulation) or just because they feel we don't have the right to exist.

If they decide to do terrestrial combat, we might stand a chance on our own planet with what is known as "homefield advantage" and perhaps we'd be able to repel their forces with todays military technology.

However, if they wanted to destroy us because they feel we don't have the right to exist for whatever reason, when we begin to repel them from ground combat, they'll just retreat back into space and use what ever shipboard weapons they have to destroy Earth.
