As I was waiting for my car to get fixed I asked a number of strangers if they would go with an ET on his ship to avoid some kind of earth disaster. They all said "No". Older people said that they would accept their fate here on earth. Teenagers said they wouldn't trust the ETs.

It never occured to me that most people would say "No" to an offer of safety from an ET.

What would you do?

Good thread! S&F
I for one would jump at the opportunity.

No disaster needed.

Please send ship ASAP.

I'm packing now.

Why not, if you're gonna die or a high chance and you have the ability to escape then sure! The probability leans toward them being nice to save us, I mean if they wanted humans for slaves or some other reason they would do as they please anyways.

S&F! Great thread! I would definitely go on board an ET ship to avoid a disaster. Can they send a ship for this disaster we're in now or does it have to be bigger? lol

Frankly, I would go to an ET ship to avoid there NOT being a disaster. These days this country and this world are totally sucking.

The fact that if they asked you if you would like to go aboard their Space ship to avoid impending doom instead of arbritarily beaming you up. Does seem to suggest some sort of benevolence there? And so I would take them up on their offer on one condition... I ride shotgun, yeah!

I would rather die than risk the possibility of suffering at their hands.

S & F for this thread. I too have ask this question to others and their response is somewhat amazing. Now that the movie "V" is airing, I expect that there will be an even greater than usual negative response to that question.

As far as I'm concerned, "Beam Me Up Scotty!"

You haven't heard???? The ATS Member's Only Express Ship leaves in exactly 36 hours, 25 minutes and 14 seconds from the time of this post. Please limit your luggage to one piece only as the flight is expected to be at full capacity. No smoking during flight operations, and thank you for flying ATS Express!

I wouldn't think twice, I'd be gone like a shot, disaster or no disaster.

How could anyone not take up an opportunity like that, regardless of what the consequences would be.

Interesting. My wife and I have had a conversation similar to this for years and the truth is we both would jump at the chance even without a disaster being involved. So bring on the mother ship!

While a simple question there are many variables involved, i don't think it's an easy yes or no answer. But all in all, without any more information given other than come into my spaceship...i would probably decline for fear of...well every negative thing that could possibly happen and then some.


If they are Pleiadeans and alien believers are right in their assumption that they look exactly like scandinavians except taller...well i might change my tune.

I'm thinking that the people you asked do not know that ATS exists. XD
I would totally go! But they would have to let me bring along my art stuff and draw them!! Or maybe I could learn their language or something.
But the question itself is too general. How would they look like?
Those V dudes from that TV show they've got out? Like humans, but more beautiful? Or like Pokemon? XD I need more circumstances to work with.

Looks like you have asked some very low-intelligent creatures. We humans are basically the trash of the galaxy, going on a Spaceship with ET,could do alot of good.

I would tend to agree with this sentiment.

However, we are doomed any way
you look at it, might as well take a stroll
around the cosmos before you go and get
to meet ET.

Yeah I would go with them and take my chances.

If once onboard i find out that we are only to be used as slaves/food/medical expirements/have to join the conservative party, hehe

then I would fight to the death.
