I'd take a good picture first just so I have evidence that the UFO exists and then I would get out of there. I'm not going to take any chances when it comes to aliens.

Ok honestly speaking, would you approach a landed UFO?

I would be torn between curiosity and self preservation. I would probably run, but beat myself up about it later.
I'd like to think me and you would get along together.

I can still think of far worse cases.
Or are kept alive with advanced medicine while experimented upon and tortured horribly.

Swamp gas and moonlight. Something on the lens. Weather balloon.
Would you honestly walk up to this after it's been spying on your kids in the bushes?

This scene freaked me out when I was younger.

I would. Nobody's getting that opportunity again, first chance at contact with our alien overlords. I'd just have to be careful not to fuck it up and get us all killed or enslaved. But I think i'd do a better job than the FBI or whoever else.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
A helicopter flew low over me shining a light last night but I just flipped them off.
I imagine an alien that has managed to travel to earth would be at least an explorer and possibly enlightened enough to be friendly. It would be scary so I don't know if my nerve would hold but like to think I would go for it. On the other hand they could be the Christopher Columbus of Aliens and you're in for a horrible time.

Yes, and with my phone out to record the whole thing.
If they were hostile, they would automatically go in guns blazing, taking out strategic positions first.
If they were on a reconnaissance mission before the hostile engagement, then they wouldn't land a craft that can be so easily discovered. They would or should have the means of being more covert.
If they were friendly and looking for first contact, then they would probably approach a highly populated area.
If they were curious and just wanted a quick check of Earth, they could land anywhere and I would help them with that too.
If they had a breakdown, they would probably land anywhere and need help, which I would like to try to help them with.
Is your name Zephram Conchrane and are you working on a warp drive ship?

Probably, yeah.
I used to think if I ever saw anything paranormal that I'd go the opposite way, but when I actually did while I was ghost hunting I ran straight toward it because my curiosity got the better of me. I think I'd want to know what I was seeing too badly to turn back.

I would try and find a way inside and take it on a joyride!

I would be noping out of there as fast as possible. Let some other idiot find the thing, and die a horrible death, let the aliens handle contact themselves, or let someone who has some sort of qualifications handle it.

12 pack of What? If you bring them a pack of IPA they may kill us all for the betterment of the universe on that alone.

I'd assume I'd get radiation sickness, so I'd only observe from a distance.

I'd watch it from far away if I could. Try and record or something.

But seriously, I'll take a shitload of pictures and videos. And get closer as I can get. Those weird motherfuckers intrigued the shit outta me.

Depends on what it looks like. If it looks like an intelligent species I would possibly approach it. If it looks like the Destroyer of Worlds ready to wipe humanity into extinction I'm running for my dam life LOL
I'd assume a society or culture with the technology to travel intergalactically would also have the intelligence to know how and to whom to make contact with first, so I believe the first time I would ever have a chance of even seeing a UFO in person would be decades after seeing them on television or the internet.
