Sure, you may have grown up reading the Vedas that discussed all kinds of encounters, including extraterrestrial. However, what will be the actual reaction when they are in front of you?

I believe Buddhists will handle it better, however, it will still be a shock.
Even for me, when they get here, in person, i won't know what to do with myself.
Especially if they come out and say, "Hey, old friend".
