What would happen to our society if a UFO was clearly seen by a large crowd of people and couldn't be proven otherwise?

What do you think might happen on an everyday level? It's kind of vauge but think about it.. finally proof that there's intelligent life capable of flying into our atmosphere, would it cause us to allocate more money to space watching and 'interstellar defense'? Would it cause some religious fanatics to denounce their faith? I know this is so highly unlikely and I don't even believe in UFO's simply because other worlds are so far away and the chance that some intelligent life has managed to discover how to circumvent astro physics and such is too much of a longshot for me to believe true. But still, if it were true and some UFO had become low enough in flight to be seen by an abnormally large group of people or documented by video clearly.. what would it really do to us as a society? :confused: Flame on! :evil:

it would be denounced by the government and they would say it was a weather balloon...then it would go down as another roswell

It already happens..

It would have to be half the size of the planet for the crowd to be large enough so that it couldn't be refuted.

Not much would happen.

UFOs have nothing to do with religion, so nothing there.

We could not possibly defend ourselves against such beings, so defense is silly.

Looking for them? Sure.

If they flew around the US and half the people saw them, what could anyone do?

THere would be a few suicides, but most people would deal, and hope they don't have an eye on our real estate, or a taste for human flesh.

We would go in front of the UN with irrefutable proof that the UFO's contain weapons of mass destruction and will immediately declare war on them

This is true. There have been many sightings by more than a few people.

Hellfire... we could have aliens go to a major shopping mall... hold an audience in the food court... dontate blood for testing and have a question & answer period... and the governments would all still deny it.

the only way would be if it was covering the whole sky, numerous people took pictures from different angles, or some one took a video and it looks clear and not fuzzy.

I did see it, but regardless the 'summoning' aspect is more rediculous then the theory of UFOs in general. I would have believed him at all if he said something like he's got a UFO on his ass just because he's black heh. But I'm calling 1-800-Shenanigans on 'summoning' one.

That guy who summons ufo's reminds me of what it talks about in revelations, about false prophets who start coming out, doing all these awesome miracles and stuff. all i gotta say is be careful.
