Humans and Aliens: Fear, Curiosity, and Survival

We've all heard about aliens and also seen them in movies, and the way they're presented often varies, depending on the aim of the movie or comic author. But one thing is certain about aliens, and it's the fact that they're beings that are not of this world or planet; they're basically foreign to our world, and when we see them, we're often unsure of how to react, because just like the different animals we've seen on earth, each presents itself in a new light until you're accustomed to them, so seeing an alien in my yard or house would definitely bring about fear before anything else because they're definitely a strange being I've not seen before, and I do not know what to expect from them.

Based on the various movies about aliens I've watched, it's quite difficult to reach a conclusion on what to expect from them. Take for instance I've watched movies where the aliens are super friendly and helpful to humans, and on the other hand, I've also seen where the aliens are hostile to humans, trying to kill us to get some vital minerals from our land or just dominate it. So that's exactly why my first reaction about a sighting of aliens around my house would be fear, because I'll literally be terrified of seeing something new and not knowing if it's a friend or a foe.

Peradventure I summon the courage to even talk to it; my first question would be trying to find out where it's from and how it got here, because I've obviously not seen such a creature here on earth before, and I'd love to know where it's from, so I'll ask the aliens where it's from, and after I get a response to that question, my next question would be finding out how it got here. We've seen in movies how some aliens crash-ship here by mistake, while some come on a mission, so I'll get to understand its intention of coming and how it came.

Still on the issue of communication, although I've stated the questions I'll likely ask the aliens, what I didn't consider is the communication gap that might be between us. Take for instance that we've got many creatures here on earth, and yet we don't understand ourselves, so what are the chances that the aliens would understand mine or I'll understand their language? Anyways, when it comes to if I'll be willing to live with the aliens under the same roof, I doubt I'll do that, and my reason is because immediately the government finds out about such, I can automatically become the enemy of the state if I don't allow them to take it away, since humans love to investigate new things.

So will I ask the aliens to leave and go back to their planet? Yes, I will, and my reasons for that are simple. Like I said, humans love to investigate, and when they see the alien, they'll want to carry out different operations on it, which could make the alien become a lab rat. For the aliens' own good, I'll advise them to go back to where they're coming from if they like themselves and want to enjoy freedom.
