May 24, 2011 – The National Geographic Channel is planning to present a show called “When Aliens Attack”. The premise of the show is that if aliens were to come to Earth with aggressive intent, do we have a plan to react, what that plan might involve, and what the plan should involve. Of course, the first assumption the show must address is the existence of aliens. On this point there are a number of individuals who are both involved in the search for extraterrestrial life and who are well versed in many aspects of the research who are very interested.
One of the interested people, Dr. Seth Shostek, is a senior astronomer for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). He says that he strongly believes that there are aliens in the universe otherwise he would not be doing the job that he does. He talks about the number of stars that have planets like earth and the Kepler satellite that NASA is using to evaluate this number. He expects that there may be up to about 50 billion stars like that in our galaxy alone. Dr. Shostek goes on to say that the miracle would be for there to be absolutely no other life in the universe, if only because of the sheer number of planets that could support life.
Shostek believes that if aliens were to come to Earth that they would be hostile, if not to begin with then they would end up hostile because we, as humans, react violently to invaders. Another interested person, John Ringo (who has written a number of books on alien invasion) adds to Shostek’s thoughts on hostility. Ringo says that even if they do not have hostile intentions that a new culture tends to always damage the old cultures, so we should be ready for a situation where an alien culture tries to change ours. Ringo also adds that, while we should be ready, that doesn’t mean that it will happen tomorrow.
Dr. Travis Taylor, who is with the U.S. Space and Missile Command Department and has worked with the Department of Defense and NASA for 20 years, says there is no way to know whether any alien contact will be hostile or not, but that as much as we can hope for peaceful contact that peace isn’t something we have to be ready for. He says that what we need to be prepared for is hostility, just in case. Dr. Taylor also agrees with Shostek in the idea that there are very likely aliens in the universe, though there is no way to know if we will ever have contact.

I've watched it, and it's completely stupid. It makes interesting points about guerrilla warfare in modern times, but it continually reminds you that the invaders technology and level of thinking is so beyond our own, yet completely ignores that in what they present as their "defense".
That's the last card they have to play since they can't stop ETs from showing up. "Well now they're probably real, but they are hostile too." I just don't buy it, never has a UFO attacked a military installation and never has a UFO fired back when we have fired on them. And the best comment of all is that these "ALIENS" may try and change our culture, wouldn
Of course they are going to say the aliens are hostile. They want you to be as scared as possible at something that could potentially be better for us all (for all we know).<br /><br />Obviously they aren't so bad, as we wouldn't be here reading this if they were. We'd be gone already.<br /><br />The governments of the world want us to fear these beings, though. They want you to
If they are hostile, then we are Fed. Simple as that. Humans can't stop fighting each other long enough to realize that a threat from an alien civilization would easily overwhelm us. <br /><br />To think that they would be hostile, LIKE HUMANS, would be a very human mistake. And to attack an alien civilization that tries to make contact under the assumption that they must be hostile would
