The purpose of this thread is to investigate the Social, Economical and Industrial inpacts on the world if such an event ever takes place.
Social.
Would this cause caos and riots on the streets?
How would the media react?
Could it change our social life or the way we live now?
Economical/Industrial
What will happen if a free energy system was introduce by the visitors?
How would the world bank system hold up even in its present state?
Would the corperate world suddenly colapse?
How would the the world goverments react to this situation?
Religion.
Lets leave that one out.
I hope to see many opinions on this
Cheers!
OOPS!! Could the Mods please move this to skunk works

As for the social impact, I think this would cause some chaos where the ship is visible, or directly above. Places that are just watching it on TV
would probably be glued to CNN 24/7, and running to the grocery store to stock up on things like water and canned goods JUST in case. Third world
countries would probably be very rattled.
A lot of people would be questioning their beliefs about the universe, but I don't think die-hard Christians and such would re-consider their
religion. They'll see it as a seperate entity, and will probably pray in the masses for resolution.
As far as economics, I think we'd see a huge increase in spending on everyday needs, and then eventually people would be stashing away money.
Positive and negative reactions as the days progress.
There would probably be a meeting of major world powers, and some would want to be more hostile than others...but I'm not sure there would be too
much they could do. If it's as BIG as people are claiming it is, there's no GOOD way to attack it without endangering millions of lives.
Oh and I forgot...MASS evacuations. People just getting up and leaving.
Personally for me...I'D BE SO FREAKIN' EXCITED.
But I'm not holding my breath.
