I’d make sure my house is locked up and try to ignore it until it went away.
Then I’d pretend I didn’t see anything.
1st thought - too much spicy food before bed, I’m dreaming.
2nd thought - if I’m not dreaming no one is ever going to believe me and nothing good would come of trying, for me nor the alien.
3rd thought - capture or kill (for proof), but it probably possesses superior weaponry and intelligence meaning I would likely be the one to end up captured or killed.
Solution -go back to bed.
So, Di-Fool is, like, some weird, self-fulfilling suicide prophesy?
Hopefully, I figure a way to capture it alive. Failing that, shoot it. And I’m posting on the net and contacting the media before contacting any government agencies. Not that I’m a CT nutter or anything but a little healthy paranoia never hurt anyone.
Any alien that could reach us has sufficient technology that they could go undetected if they wanted. The fact that I’m seeing it means that it wants me to, which suggests that it wants to communicate with me in some way. So I would attempt to oblige it.
While also attempting to get as many pictures/videos of it as I could, of course.
Make up a story that fits your area.
“It looks really weird. Maybe the right size to be a bear but it looks the wrong color. Do you think that might mean it has rabies? I think it’s trying to get into my neighbor’s house - the ones with the new baby.”
That’ll get the cops out there. They’ll understand later that you couldn’t properly identify an alien.
With all those legs I’d be heating up the deep fryer! Then I’d have to decide,. 308 or will a 9mm be adequate?
It’s an Alien fer gosh sake! Nuke it from orbit; it’s the only …
It may mean that it is hungry. Are you familiar with duck decoys?
:dubious:
He’s reading a cookbook!
Kirk!!!
I think capturing it might be taken the way, but if it goes berzerk and you end up capturing it, showing it this 100% truthful video should get it to play nice.
Smart thinking… besides, the more people who see it, the more likely this won’t be forgotten.
Hugging might be seen as aggressive. I’d show it my hands are empty, then get my phone with a slideshow of people and human things.
I think I’d just most probably assume I’ve lost my mind.
Or I’d give it some peanut butter and play some Led Zeppelin to it.
John DiFool was an anti-hero in Jodorowski-and-Giraud’s The Incal. I remember his best line as, “I don’t want to die, and I certainly don’t want to suffer”, when faced with dismemberment by the cardioclaw. So, yeah, expect him to take questionable risks.
Yep. 
which it will interpret as you exposing your third set of external genitalia at it, the gravest insult in the Inner Core systems…
…by which I mean, you really can’t tell with an alien. Best hope it’s really intelligent.
The stupid alien can’t count, I’m exposing both my third and my fourth set.
Seriously though, I’m not certain I’ll not totally freak out, take my trousers off and do a handstand, clapping a weird rhythm with my feet whilst extending something towards them.
Maybe I should practice hand walking in the offchance we aren’t alone in this universe.
I’m British, so I offer it a cup of tea. Unless I see it emerge from a cylinder to hot to touch, then I cough on it and run.
I’d cough on it, then ask Cameron to name the new aircraft carrier HMS Thunderchild.
I think I would probably stare at it silently, watching for nervous modesty moves. If I were to reach for my camera, it would surely flit away.
I’d have expected a Brit to grab a towel and head to pub.
