Sky Cutter 294 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 What do you think is the best defense against an alien attack on earth? I think it's B-17's but if that happens let's go with this scenario: Secretary of Defense: Mr. President! the aliens are about to destroy the entire planet. President: Release the internet Secretary of Defense: *le gasp* are you sure that is necessary? President: it is with a heavy heart that I believe it is Secretary of Defense: Sir there must be ano- President: THERE IS NO OTHER WAY! give them a warning, and if they do not retreat... Secretary of Defense: *with regret* yes sir. --on the alien ship the ADIC (alien dude-in-charge) sees the message system has a face time chat alert-- ADIC: *opens face time chat session with president* have you accepted defeat? President: please, go home, go to your planet, while you still can, don't make me commit an unforgivable act ADIC: ha ha ha, you are weak, your weapons useless, surrender and we shall only kill half of you and enslave the rest President: *begging* please, I don't want to do this, please leave while you still have your innocence ADIC: fool *cuts off communication* President: please, forgive me *pushes button* --then all the aliens died after prolonged exposure to youtube, twitter, facebook, memebase and 4chan. their ships exploded because somealien clicked a link for a free iPad and anonymous got into their systems-- 5 Avatar by Jokuc ~ Signature by me ~ (Try it) War Thunder ID: ColonelWaffle studying to be a pilot! ~ I like planes (B-17 FTW) ~ What's-its-face window "Never accept the sky as the limit, we got to the moon and beyond." - some guy with an unhealthy obsession of planes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 (edited) Maybe send out some F16s and send some missiles to destroy any fleet of ships that the aliens would send down to Earth, to at least try to keep them at bay.

Candlewick13 32 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 Several countries are collaborating on a laser that would use up 100,000 times more powe than we have on this earth. It can only run for about .93 trillioniths of a second, but maybe if we had something like that on a larger scale, we could burn them all up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershyfan94 5,742 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 Tin foil hats are the solution. When it comes to weapons, no weapons would come close to theirs. So I guess we should just send of all the nukes of the world to show them we got something but other then that we wouldn't be able to fight them for long. Tin foil hats and underground vaults would be the best defense. 1 DA: http://fluttershyfan94.deviantart.com/ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Fluttershyfan94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FractalMoon 378 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 Honestly? Our best defense would be reverse-engineering their weapons. Humans have always been good at taking things that are used against us and turning them into weapons of our own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCS 7,537 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 Above all, the best defense would be courage. The more afraid we are of someone trying to hurt us, the more power they have over us. That being said, the best physical defense against an alien attack could vary wildly depending on how advanced the extraterrestrial race was. If they were at or near our level of technology, we would most likely use weapons we already use in war. I would not be surprised if the government had secret weapons that they could use if necessary, as well. However, if the alien civilization is sufficiently advanced, the most powerful of our weapons would be useless. However, I hope this will never happen. If an alien race comes to earth, I hope our interaction will be a peaceful and mutually beneficial one. Additionally, I hope that world leaders will be willing to be open minded about extraterrestrials and not automatically become hostile if they attempt to make themselves known to us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Regulus 2,769 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 (edited) By definition, an alien attack is alien. It means we don't know what it would be like. 1alien adjective \ˈā-lē-ən, ˈāl-yən\: not familiar or like other things you have known : different from what you are used to So, how can you say that it would be best to prepare for an attack that is completely foreign to you? How can you prepare for something that you have never seen before and have no understanding of? A true alien attack would be the most unpredictable thing any of us could ever imagine. It would be more strange and more unconventional than we are even capable of imagining. Edited February 16, 2014 by Regulus Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpWit 2,750 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 I'm going to give a serious answer to this. the best and final line of defense that we have is our own demise. during world war two the Japanese didn't have enough fuel for their airplanes so the bombarded American vessels with them. When the Russians were invaded by the Germans, they tore up their railways and destroyed their own crops, making sure that the enemy would have no means to resupply. If aliens were to invade earth, they would do so for resources. if we take away those resources, the enemy will leave or suffer immensely. if we through everything we had at them it would either send a wounding message of we will do anything for you to achieve nothing. this implies though, that we destroy ourselves and the planet, making this an extreme action to take, that would only make sense if they were going to kill us all anyway, or that it really was the end of mankind. If we haven't come to the conclusion that there is no way in hell that we would survive this war, then we simply go on the offensive rather than the defensive. that way we force them to turn around or be destroyed along side us.

Danger Dash 101 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 (edited) Find the secret portal to the world of Equestria, bam! Problem solved. Nuff said Or, get a bunch the worlds smartest scientists in a secret organization to create disguising feature that will be completely identical to the aliens, get highly trained special ops to use the disguise and infiltrate their mothership. Find and kill the leader. Copy and kill the leader's identity and speak in their alien language to halt the attack. Problem solved.

Something Floaty 1,334 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 There is no defense. We have enough scientific evidence to prove that there is no sentient life on any of the planets in our solar system. Therefore, any invading aliens would have to come from another star system. Any species that has advanced technologically to the point where they can cross interstellar distances for purposes of conquest or destruction would be so far out of our league that we might as well be ants. If they can travel between stars, then they would almost certainly be capable of: 1. Subduing our military and the military of every other country on Earth, within hours 2. Remotely disabling any defense systems we have operating 3. Generating an EMP powerful enough to render any electronics on the planet useless 4. Scouring the surface of the planet with weapons and killing everyone 5. Targeting the population of Earth with poison, whether through gassing or cloud-seeding, with a specially designed poison that is fatal to us and not them The list goes on. Whether they want us (as slave labor) or the planet (for resources), any species advanced to the point of efficient, mass space travel would take our world in a day or two, if not hours. If they transport us away from our planet to theirs, for labor, we could conceivably stage a rebellion after several years of acclimation to their technology and habits, but a race that advanced would likely have no need for slave labor, due to technological means of production and maintenance. In short, if they invade, it will be to kill us all and harvest the resources from the planet itself. Signature created by Champion RD92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Blithering Div 247 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 (edited) Jeff Goldblum obviously. Joking aside, the scortched earth approach would work. Maybe we could weaponize a few particle accelerators. However, I'd argue that aliens willing to attack a planet for resources when that planet is surrounded by asteroids, other uninhabited planets and the entirety of the keiper belt a.k.a. easypickings are pretty frickin' dumb. Maybe our standard armaments would be enough. Now, if this invasion was for political reasons, then we'd probably have the technology to deal with it. Edit: Yeah, I can't read. Carry on.
