The study of 2,000 adults revealed the hilarious things they'd do if aliens paid us a visit - including hiding under the bed, pretending to be out, or simply panicking. Other 'fool-proof' plans include calling mum and dad for advice, and putting the kettle on. Stocking up on loo roll, fleeing to the countryside, or relying on ‘the experts’ to sort it all out are also possible strategies.
But a quarter have a slightly more open-ended approach in mind – they intend to panic.
Commissioned by Beavertown ahead of World UFO Day on Friday July 2, the research found 63 percent would be welcoming if they saw an alien.
In fact, one in 20 claim to have already seen one, according to the OnePoll figures.
Nick Pope, former head of UFO investigation at the Ministry of Defence, said: "UFO sightings are rising, along with belief in an alien presence.

NICK POPE'S TIPS FOR AN ALIEN INVASION
1. As the saying goes, if you see something - say something.
While the government has a vast array of surveillance equipment that might spot alien invaders, the critical breakthrough might come from the public.
Over the time of its existence, the Ministry of Defence's UFO project received 12,000 reports of UFOs, and in some years investigated several hundred sightings.
2. Location location location!
When watching for UFO activity - which could be the advance guard of an alien invasion - forget the cliché about sightings happening on a lonely country road, late at night.
Ministry of Defence figures show that sightings are more likely to happen in cities.

How many of that 60% think the aliens are invading from Pakistan?
Will they come begging the USA for firearms like the last time they thought invasion was inevitable?
Must be working because there have been no invasions so far (that I am aware of).
If extraterrestrials show up on Earth (won’t happen, but just imagine), I’m going to hightail it for the hills and get maximum distance between myself and them. I will *not* put a kettle on.
Hightail it for the hills? That’s Bigfoot territory.
You’re right...and they’re in cahoots with the aliens.
Take your kettle when you head for the hills. Bigfoot cannot resist a hot cup of Earl Grey.
I recently discovered Lady Grey. It’s Earl Grey with a slight hint of citrus. Smashing.
Don’t panic. Always carry a towel.
42 is the answer.
Just lay down in front of the bulldozer.
They have already HAD their “alien invasion” and failed to address it.
You do have a choice. You can believe that biological and manufactured entities are travelling the unimaginable distances of tens to hundreds of light years and are visiting earth ( but have left absolutely no documented physical evidence) or you can believe the laws of physics.
They already HAVE an alien invasion!!!
Where is King Arthur when you REALLY need him???
Any life form that’s made it across space to reach us will be able to do whatever they wish with us. If they are socially advanced, they will do what is necessary to exterminate liberals. Hmmmm, exterminate....where have I heard that before.
So, “research” (paid for by taxpayers — this is Britain) actually polled people on getting invaded by BugEyedMonsters? No, someone asked about BEM and the Brits immediately thought of huge frogs — the French, the French! WE’re gonna be invaded by the Froggies again.
Do they also believe the invasion will happen at Christmas?
Enoch Powell was right!!!!
The fake alien invasion meme has been talked about for years.
Until the little grey bastards are marching down the street, don’t believe them.
Did they forget their towel?
