Even if a fleet of them landed in DC, there will be those that say they still dont exist.
There already here/ been here. The first thing if it was proven indisputable, would be all the religious leaders would go into super panic mode. Goes against every widespread current religion.
Ronald Regan said " if our planet was to meet a hostile alien life form as a threat, all earth would prob unite in defense " (not an exact quote). Personally, If aliens threatened us, with their degree of advanced technology...we wouldnt stand a chance...we just be cattle.

I think that if aliens did come to Earth, they would all try to look the same....to identify to each other who they are. Maybe wear black hats, long black coats and pants...even in the hottest of summer days. All their wives should wear similiar wigs and they should have many children to eventually be the dominant species. I would think that they could be seen walking together in groups of five or more with no destination in sight....just walking. BUT their identity as aliens would have to be kept among them. They would have to have a lot of meetings together to establish their next plan. Dave

Former NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell — a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission — claims aliens exist.
He says extraterrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions — but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.
Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview in Birmingham, England, that sources at NASA who had had contact with aliens described the beings as "little people who look strange to us."
He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a "small gray" — short, slight frame, large eyes and large head.
Mitchell also claimed human technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as the aliens' and "had they been hostile," he warned "we would be been gone by now."

I'm trying to remember exactly where this happpened, but when the Eurpoeans and Americans were doing the big explore and exploit thingee, the stumbled on a culture that killed and eat the explorors. Maybe in Polynesia or some place? Worked good for a generation or so? Another Idea? Take the Aliens to any number of Christian churches. Praying to an Idol that was tortured and killed is going to seem a little 'off putting' for an outsider? I've never studied Islam that much, but some of the more radical madras's might seem a little intimidating too?

I would find Bill Pullman and look for him to lead us.
quote
President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow." Agent Kay
Pretty much sums it up right there. When they make their presence known to everyone and not just a select few, it will be a fun day, because no one will be watching the Lexus dealership

who said I was describing Amish? I thought the Amish wore plaid. At least they don't drive....or almost kill someone every time they get behind the wheel. Dave

The Amish out here drive. They also have cell phones. They run a business making sheds, lawn furniture, garages, etc. They all live in the same area and have a fully modernized facility they build them in. I see them in McDonalds and at the gas station occasionally. The only thing Amish about them is their appearance (if you don't notice the Reeboks, cell phone and sunglasses). We call them the electric Amish.

amish do not drive cars, but mennonites, who look very much like them, do. the amish can be very proud of their horses and carriages, which of course is a sin in their view, but the tactful observer will not point this out. we get mennonites in my auto parts store occasionally, they are (sinfully) proud of their cars and trucks, but they must be black and they remove all the chrome. i talked with one about their beliefs a couple of weeks ago, he said they accept conversions.
the first thing that came to my mind was jehovah's witnesses, walking or riding their bicycles around in groups of 2 or 3 with their little neckties and backpacks, regardless of the weather. there's definitely something alien about them.

The ones with the backpacks, bike and ties are Mormons! Their mother ship is in Utah under the temple in Salt Lake City. I have seen it will my own eyes. Okay, maybe I haven't seen it, but that would explain a lot!
Personally I think a LOT of people would commit suicide, others would pray, and some like me would just keep going to work and spending weekends in the garage working on cars...
