Ten Things You Should Do If You Encounter a UFO
The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 26, 2005 | Michael Curta

Posted on 06/26/2005 3:05:58 PM PDT by quidnunc

Every year, more than 70,000 reports of UFO sightings come into UFO research organizations around the world. While it is true that nine out of 10 sightings are explainable, it is also true that only one in 10 is ever reported, and each year the number of reports increases. Is this because there are more sightings? Is it because more people are willing to come forward and report their sightings to researchers? Or could it simply be that, in the past, witnesses did not know where to report sightings? Whatever the case may be, and you could make a case for all three, the fact remains that the number of reports is going up at an incredible rate.

There are far more reports than investigators, and that is where the witnesses must help the investigator. Think of the sighting like a crime. Though the only crime being committed is the one our government commits by its unwillingness to openly investigate such sightings, I say think of it as a crime because you never know what is going to happen, and you need to remember exact details of the event for recall at a later time. The information that follows is designed to help you help investigators.

1. The No. 1 thing to remember is REMAIN CALM! But protect yourself from any hazards real or perceived. Be prepared to take evasive (but not aggressive) action to get out of its way. Remember: You might be witnessing the event of a lifetime and will want to remember every detail. You can't do that if you are hysterical.

First thing to do is check your ticket stub and make sure you're at a George Clinton Concert.

Abductions can evidently best be resisted by

INSTANT

anger, hostility manifested every way you are capable of--but it has to be instant--before the mind-control/immobilization stuff sets in--which tends to be in the first seconds-micro-seconds.

Also, evidently fierce, aggressive 'praying in tongues' is effective.

Common sense for observing anything unusual.

I'm sure this is very practical advice for the average reader of the San Francisco Chronicle.

If meeting a presumed extraterrestrial the first thing do do is yell"Howard Dean is that really you".If it answers in the affirmative than run like hell.
