Six in 10 Britons think an alien invasion is inevitable, according to research

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.

Quantum physics also suggests that merely observing such an entity changes its nature.

At some level, this very strange effect is likely bound up in quantum entanglement. The observer is part of the experiment and he has no means to fully place himself outside its domain.

The whole thing produces very odd and currently inexplicable observations where in some cases events in the future appear to alter the past, before they ever occurred.

The world is better than it has ever been. It is so good that we have to make up problems for ourselves.

If people want to make addendums to Einstein’s theories to allow interstellar travel, what about quantum physics. Suspect that the devices and equipment used to “validate” some of those weird observations and the equations used may themselves been limited technically and the equations wrong or applied incorrectly. Much of quantum physics ought to be revisited. No science is truly “settled”. However a challenge or a devout wish to change for accomadation does not make consensus science wrong.

And there is always a brutal murder in every quaint little English village-usually solved by the village priest or a little old lady.

I have trained my cats to attack anything coming through the walls or closed windows at night.

I don't know about your cats but my cats often act like aliens from another world.

Yep. Father Brown or Miss Marple.

As an aside, it doesn't pay to be a butler. You usually end up in prison for murder.
