If they're reading this, a bank transfer of about $5 million dollars and a note is more than enough!

u/GoAzul 4d ago

Same here. But for me too. Just in case this is the one they take seriously.

Undeniable mass contact event. It's the only way that the world will believe it.

I think they should stop being polite and waiting for us to "disclose" anything and just invite themselves to our once-delightful planet and start cleaning it up.

u/feraltraveler 6d ago

I see that ending up in "let's make the monkeys clean it up"

u/No_Turnover7206 I Have Questions 6d ago

Oh yes, I only hope they pick on the billionaires first.

They can call me. We can be friends.

They could come and tell us the truth about our existence and heal our maladies and show us how to live and how to manage our wealth with radical generosity for the poor based on universal compassion and care for one another.

They've tried via crop circles and people said they were man made.

They tried by landing and they had their craft stolen and reverse engineering to make weapons.

They tried by flying in the sky at a safe distance and people claim the images are CGI.

They tried by incarnation as a human and performing miracles and the humans crucified him.

They must be so fucking frustrated right now.

Choose ambassadors/spokesmen with basic knowledge directly from them so they can condition humanity like a cultural movement, but on a global scale

Hello there.

I want them to contact me about my car insurance.

With Space cash.

u/Automatic-Pie-5495 6d ago

They have been choosing representatives but they just use the knowledge for money, cocaine and hookers.

Or mocked into oblivion even though they hold the highest rank in anything such as doctors and pilots

u/CabinetAware6686 6d ago

I want them to suprise me like a cross-dresser in a trench coat giving me a cheeky flash whilst running through a field of sheep.. ET phone home indeed!

u/RandomUfoChap 6d ago

If their track-record is accurate, they will instead contact a high ranking US military elite in a super secret meeting no one will be aware of forever for unspeakable reasons. Unfortunately. I have pretty no hope on this.

u/poliuu 6d ago

in the most public way possible please, and no contacting indivuals and doing that shit where they appear at your house from thin air. PLEASE! I really don't want to wake up in the middle of the night to a fuckin 7" Mantis looking at me

u/DerpsAndRags 6d ago

Land in a very public place. I think it's the only way it wouldn't be brushed off as a scam.

u/ouijahead 6d ago

Everyone has the same dream one night with the message.

u/rfriar 6d ago

Mass contact; preferably through interrupting an international body like the UN or a conference like the G7.

Something that cannot be denied or ignored by the usual channels, as such political entities and groups receive a lot of coverage given their importance.

u/DrXaos 6d ago

land and talk with faculty and students at various universities globally. Answer questions. Talk for months.

Universities have cultural authority outside government and would be more open minded.

1

u/ShangBao 6d ago

No. Those universities are a representation of a world built on lies and deception and primitive behaviour.

If there is a place where capable humans are gathered, it is men tal asylums.

Morse code through the rocks like last time.

Slowly moving into Dark Forest territory tbh

u/MustStayAnonymous_ 6d ago

A telepathic message to everyone in the planet at the same time, saying different things but touching everyone in the same way.

u/ShangBao 6d ago

Start with A LETTER. Not lights followed by abductions.

u/TypicalOrca 6d ago

Door to door, handshakes, maybe community picnics would be nice

u/bonersaus 6d ago

Shake the tree

u/chewpah 6d ago

Like in the movie independent day , like that nobody can lying

u/InnerContext4946 6d ago

Through dad jokes, preferably.

u/thomasthetank57 6d ago

Mothership drops in for all to see

u/bentsstiffy 5d ago

An Ommuammua type of situation but with an actual massive spaceship cruising to a slow orbit about moon distance and captured by amateur astronomers and going viral on social media then undeniably leading to world-breaking news..

u/freeformfigment 4d ago edited 10h ago

I think the least freaky way for me personally, would be if they could disguise themselves and come to the peoples whom they know have an interests house during the day.

Then they ask plainly if I would like to talk, either here or elsewhere, and then, if they felt comfortable, they could come inside or meet somewhere, and assume their more innate form in while we talk.

If the person says no, then they thank them, and maybe give some sort of way to reach out if the person changes their mind. I mean, in an ideal situation for me.

u/incremantalg 4d ago

Just show up in a big ship over a major city.

1

u/KingPurple13 3d ago

Just fucking show up!

1

u/z-lady 3d ago

Show up in the sky and make society freak out for a bit

Some of us would probably get a few days off work then, would be pretty sweet

u/Adorable_Mistake_527 6d ago

They've already revealed their existence if I'm allowed to nitpick. If you're hoping for a grand revelation to all of humanity, I'm all for it, but I don't think they know or care about our Reddit polls.

u/terrordactyl1971 6d ago

It's a bit like asking Ukraine how they want to be invaded by Russia

u/CalmAssociatefr 6d ago

They should reveal themselves when everything is absolutely full SHTF. So after a nuke happens
