So much discussion of aliens involves invasion, abductions, government cover ups, but what if you met a genuine ET and he was a good person. Would you be friends with him? Could you mentally handle being friends with a being from another planet?
Would you be a genuine friend or secretly wish to expose him for your own gains?
I suppose some people would be scared, but if he was genuine and didn’t want my brain for experiments, I would give a whirl. Would you?

If this Alien had mastered inter-stellar travel and all that goes along with it then i think there would be a pretty large intelligence gap, I think i'd have to buy the Alien a "I'm with stupid" tee-shirt

A) Just because they are flying one doesn't mean they can explain how to build one. A jey pilot on Earth couldn't tell you the tech involved in building one, just the basic principles
B) You would first have to get past all those restricted technology issues

The guy who lives next door to me is hideous to look at, but he's still my mate.

Sorry I think this thread is entirely about making friends and not Aliens or UFO's.
IMO the OP is trying to gauge people's boundaries of friendship.

Ummm the OP made it pretty clear what his question was...

And most likely, no matter what people say... they would steal his spacecraft and turn him in for cash rewards and the fame that would come with proving Aliens are real...
Oh yeah? Wanna bet?

Legitimate ET talk is more or less what is in our Solar System! Or what Hubble and Kepler are discovering! Or quantum physics studies of Parallel Universes/Multiverse!
OP yes we want to make contact with ET's, where have you been? We sent out a welcome to Earth capsule a long time ago.
I'm sorry I can't remember what it's called but it contains languages from all over the world, examples of art, music, literature, and pictures. This is one of the reason Steve Hawking says we shouldn't be trying to contact ET. He is worried that we sent such a thing out will bring back violent ET's.
