Was watching some old Sci-Fi late show last night. Made me think of what I would do how I would react if I seen an alien in my backyard. How would you react my friends if you entered your back yard and there standing in front of you was an alien. Just asking but what would you do?
Well, first off unless they beamed down (using same beam many say are used to take abductees to their crafts) i think even a small quiet shuttle would likely set off all the dogs in the area, which would alert me. Before i stepped out. Depending on size of shuttle or craft my meadow or neighbors' fields would be attractive landing spots.
Secondly, very unlikely my grand dog would not have cued me to
any kind of stranger on yard. So if beamed down i'd still have a clue while still inside. Either way, my curiosity would be aroused, would grab both my digital camera and cell phone. I'd want a glimpse of what set dog off before going out, after all the 'intruder' might be human in which case i'd call police.
Would decide about going out depending on how they moved, if seemed to have a weapon. If at night, when most sightings take place, might be surprised when going out to pick DD up from work or when we got home. Cell phone would be on me.
How can i be confident i'd react calmly, assessing situation? Because i tend to stay calm in bad situations. I've gotten myself out of threatening situations with humans, including being in an apt when someone was trying to break in. On top of that i've lived in houses with paranormal activity and currently live with at least 3 harmless spirits.
I've seen things many people freak out about, and stayed calm. So, unless it looked like the Predator, or the Alien fom the Aliens franchise (and then behavior would matter too--because just being big and ugly might not indicate character or intent) my curiosity would likely override any concerns for safety.
Considering state of world if they 'took' me it might be as much a rescue as an abduction.
