HOW TO SURVIVE AN ALIEN INVASION.

What would you do if there was an alien invasion?

By Victoria Published 3 years ago 3 min read

The thought of an alien invasion may seem like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but what if it actually happens? As crazy as it sounds, it's better to be prepared than caught off guard. So, if aliens come knocking on our door, here's your ultimate guide on how to survive and maybe even make some new extraterrestrial friends along the way.

First and foremost, stay calm. Panicking will only worsen the situation, and you'll end up looking like a nervous wreck in front of our new alien overlords. Take a few deep breaths, count to ten, and remind yourself that everything is going to be okay.

Now that you've calmed down, it's time to gather your survival gear. Unlike a zombie apocalypse, traditional weapons may not be the best defense against aliens. So, put down your baseball bat and start thinking outside the box. Invest in a good pair of binoculars and a radio scanner to keep tabs on any alien activity. Also, grab some heavy-duty flashlights and make sure to stock up on batteries, as they might come in handy when trying to communicate with our new alien friends.

It's time to put those survival skills to use and set up camp. Keep in mind that you want to stay away from heavily populated areas like cities and towns. Instead, look for remote areas like forests and mountains, which will provide ample cover and keep you off the alien's radar.

Speaking of avoiding detection, it's essential not to draw any unnecessary attention to yourself. This means no loud music, no bonfires, and most importantly, no screaming. You don't want to be perceived as a threat or a potential danger.

Now that you've set up your camp, it's time to make some new friends. While the thought of communicating with an alien race may seem daunting, it's not impossible. You can use a universal translator app or learn some basic alien language to try and establish communication. Who knows, maybe they'll teach you some cool new dance moves or show you how to play an alien instrument.

If you're feeling particularly brave, you can even attempt to offer them some Earth snacks as a gesture of goodwill. Imagine sharing a bag of Cheetos with an alien race, now that's something to write home about.

Now, let's talk about defense strategies. While traditional weapons might not be that effective, there are still a few things you can do to stay safe. First, make sure to establish a good escape plan in case the aliens become hostile. Keep your camp organized, and set up booby traps around your perimeter to deter any unwanted visitors.

It's also important to consider the possibility of a full-blown invasion. In this case, you may need to get creative. You can use common household objects like mirrors and reflective surfaces to disorient the aliens and buy yourself some time. Additionally, using loud sounds and bright lights may also help to confuse them.

Another way to stay safe is to keep in mind the aliens' weaknesses. It might sound like a long shot, but you never know what could be their kryptonite. So, do some research on alien mythology and sci-fi movies to get an idea of what might work. Who knows, maybe garlic and silver will save the day.

Now that we've covered the basics let's focus on the fun stuff. As alien invasion movies have shown us, there's always room for a little humor and adventure in times of crisis. Try to find pleasure in the absurdity of the situation and enjoy the small moments. Singing karaoke with your new alien friends or playing a game of intergalactic poker may sound like an improbable scenario, but hey, anything can happen.

In conclusion, while an alien invasion may sound like an unlikely scenario, it's always better to be prepared. Remember to stay calm, gather your survival gear, and establish communication with our new extraterrestrial friends. With a little humor, creativity, and a can-do attitude, surviving an alien invasion may not be that impossible after all. Who knows, you might just become a part of Earth's first intergalactic friendship.
