The German government has "no plans or protocol" should first contact with aliens occur, according to a report by German daily Bild. 
  
 The government considers such an event "extremely unlikely according to current scientific knowledge," the Ministry of Economics said when responding to a question from Green MP Dieter Janecek.

 United States has a plan 
  
 While Germany might not have a plan for extraterrestrial visitors, the US is more prepared. Even before the establishment of a Space Force that US President Donald Trump has recently said he plans to created as a new branch of the military, the 527th Space Aggressors Squadron is already a part of the United States Air Force. It aims to train US, joint and allied military forces for combat with "space-capable adversaries."

 The Air Force squadron regularly conducts drills designed to simulate what a space attack might look like if an otherworldly adversary attempted one. 
  
 From 2007-2012, the US also ran a task force that investigated sightings of unidentified flying objects with an annual budget of $22 million (€19.2 million). The UK has also run UFO sighting projects in the past.

 How would humans react? 
  
 If humans were to cross paths with aliens we'd actually be fairly happy, according to research presented early this year by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. 
  
 "If we came face-to-face with life outside of Earth, we would actually be pretty upbeat about it," study author Michael Varnum of Arizona State University said in a statement. 
  
 After analyzing past media coverage about possible findings of extraterrestrial microbial life, Varnum found most people's reactions were positive. 
  
 In two following studies asking respondents what their hypothetical reaction would be if researchers did discover signs of life beyond Earth, or if researchers created a new life form in the lab, participants were still more positive than negative and were more excited about finding alien life than synthetically-created life. 
  
 The research found that about half of Americans and Western Europeans surveyed elsewhere said they believe aliens have already visited Earth, Varnum said, and there does not seem to be any "chaos or disorder in the world" as a result. 
  
 Six key moments from NASA's 60-year history Explorer 1 — older than NASA The Soviet Union launched its Sputnik satellite in 1957, beating US to the punch and prompting fears of Soviet dominance in space. In January of the next year, the US army responded by sending up the Explorer 1 satellite (pictured above). And on July 29, 1958, the US Congress approved the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, or NASA. The agency opened its doors on October 1. 
  
 Six key moments from NASA's 60-year history Men on the moon NASA managed to land humans on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969, just 11 years after the association's foundation. The feat was accomplished using less computing power than that possessed by the modern-day smartphone. The photo shows Neil Armstrong and Erwin Aldrin planting the US flag on the lunar surface. 
  
 Six key moments from NASA's 60-year history 'Houston, we've had a problem' On April 14, 1970, an oxygen tank on the Apollo 13 spacecraft exploded, prompting astronaut James Lovell (center) to report back to NASA base in Texas: "Houston, we've had a problem." The crew made it back to Earth after a risky repair operation. Lovell's phrase, slightly misquoted, was made famous by a 1995 movie, Apollo 13. 
  
 Six key moments from NASA's 60-year history Death over a rubber seal The Challenger Space Shuttle was not as fortunate as Apollo 13. It exploded, killing all seven people on board, just minutes after takeoff on January 28, 1986. Famed physicist Richard Feynman eventually determined that the crash was caused by a rubber seal ring that failed in unusually cold temperatures. 
  
 Six key moments from NASA's 60-year history Burying the hatchet The Cold War rivalries between Russian and American scientists were finally buried on December 14, 1998, when the US-built Unity module and the Russian-made Zarya module docked in space. The two modules form the basis of what we now know as the International Space Station (ISS). 
  
 Six key moments from NASA's 60-year history NASA's Curiosity is scouting ahead for us On August 6, 2012, NASA landed the Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars. The mobile laboratory is still sending scientific findings, selfies and even tweets from Mars, albeit with a little help from its Earth-based handlers. Curiosity's data is crucial for NASA's next mission: landing humans on Mars some time in the 2030s. Author: Darko Janjevic

 This will NOT appear anywhere on Newser ||||| Are we alone in the universe? More than half of the Germans polled in a recent survey don't think so. Market research institute YouGov asked 1,171 people whether they believed in extraterrestrials and 56 percent said yes. 
  
 More than 1,000 people asked is considered a representative number for Germany. YouGov researchers conducted the survey via an online questionnaire between September 18 and 22. Anna Schneider, senior consultant with the institute, said she was not surprised by the high number of believers. 
  
 "The reason for believing is a mix of hope and fear," Schneider told DW. "It's hard for humans to imagine that we are this special and singular in a universe whose end we don't even know, but it's also not easy to picture sharing the special status of intelligent life. So I expected an outcome of around fifty-fifty." 
  
 Life finds a way 
  
 Klaus Jäger says it's only "plausible" that we're not alone 
  
 The idea that aliens or extraterrestrials could exist is not just purported by a layman's majority; it's also subject to serious scientific research. 
  
 "The formation of life in the entire cosmos, in every niche it can find, is probably a completely natural process," Klaus Jäger, astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, told DW. He pointed to the fact that simple forms of life survive even in the most barren conditions, like at the bottom of the deep sea. Why not on far-away planets? 
  
 Discoveries made by space missions support the idea that somewhere, extraterrestrials exist, according to Jäger. 
  
 "Scientific facts are pretty clearly pointing toward the existence of life outside of Earth," the astronomer and spokesman of the German Astronomical Society said. "Even in interstellar gas that floats around and among the stars in our milky way we've found organic material, which is the preliminary stage to life." 
  
 Aliens among us? 
  
 Jäger does not believe, however, that aliens are already among us, saying that finding another life-form is a possible scenario of the future. 
  
 Martin Schädler, webmaster of the German website and online community www.alien.de disagrees. He became interested in extraterrestrials roughly 20 years ago when he read a book about alien abductions and does not only believe that aliens exist, but that they have been to Earth, too. 
  
 "The universe is gigantic and it has existed for such a long time - why should we be the only living things in it?" Schädler asked. "And how likely is it really that aliens are not here on Earth, too? I believe that the universe is so big and so old that it's brimming with extraterrestrial life, that it's full of it. That no one would have made their way to us so far is very unlikely to me." 
  
 There's a great fascination with aliens, like at this science fiction exhibition in Leipzig, Germany 
  
 The tech-expert, who works on email encryption as a day job, told DW he thought that the high number of people who believe in aliens was partially due to the presence of astronomy in daily life. With media reporting on space-related discoveries and astronomy documentaries airing on TV, people become more aware of the sheer size of our universe, Schädler says. 
  
 From there, he believes, it's only a small step to wondering why we should be alone in it. 
  
 How Hollywood believers could be disappointed 
  
 Women seem to be doing more wondering - and doubting - than men. According to the YouGov survey, 61 percent of men, but only 51 percent of women believe in the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. 
  
 "Maybe the underlying reason is a difference in love of adventure - or the cinematic education," Anna Schneider from YouGov said. "I think Hollywood is partly responsible for this outcome." 
  
 If aliens ever do come to Earth, their spaceships hopefully won't wreak havoc like this one in "Independence Day" 
  
 Movies like "Alien" and "Star Wars" have an audience that is more male than female, so men could be more likely to believe in extraterrestrials, according to Schneider's theory. But astronomer Klaus Jäger emphasizes that life in space may not look like what film fans imagine it to be. 
  
 Instead of man-sized creatures arriving in impressive space ships, aliens could also be smaller - much smaller, the astronomer says. Perhaps single-cell organisms will be the first extraterrestrial life-forms to be discovered. 
  
 That would be much less exciting than meeting a friendly, talking alien like ET, but also more comfortable than discovering that we're sharing the universe with a highly intelligent hostile species à la "Independence Day," the Hollywood blockbuster in which vicious creatures from outer space try to eradicate humanity. |||||

The German government says it has made no preparations for the possibility that aliens might land in the European country, the AP reports. In a response to questions from opposition Green Party lawmaker Dieter Janecek, the government says "there are no protocols or plans for a possible first contact with alien life." Justifying that stance, the government added it believes "a first contact on German territory is extremely unlikely, based on today's scientific knowledge." Deutsche Welle quotes the government as adding, "Concrete cases that could have been the subject of bilateral or multilateral talks with other states are not known." That said, more than half of Germans polled in a recent survey say they believe extra-terrestrials are real, per Deutsche Welle. "The reason for believing is a mix of hope and fear," says a senior consultant with YouGov, which conducted the survey of 1,171 people.
