Have you ever wondered if you would be able to survive an alien invasion? It seems like not many people feel confident about it. In fact, a recent poll conducted in the UK has revealed that around a third of the population believes they would not make it out alive if hostile Martians were to invade Earth.
Even more alarming, another third of those surveyed admitted that they would be lucky to survive for more than a month. Only 1 in 10 people feel confident that they could survive for more than a year in the event of an alien invasion. This poll, which was conducted by Layered Reality, a company behind a new immersive experience based on Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds musical, gathered responses from 2,000 individuals.
When asked what their first course of action would be if Martians actually did land on Earth tomorrow, most people said they would try to find their friends and family, gather essential supplies, and then either run or hide. Surprisingly, one in ten people said they would simply say hello to the Martians.
Some individuals even expressed a desire to go with the Martians to their planet, while others admitted that they would seek intimacy with the nearest human. However, the majority of people said that their first priority would be to save their children or partner, followed by themselves.
Interestingly, it seems that a significant portion of the population values their pets more than other people. One in five Brits revealed that they would save their pet before anyone else in the event of an alien invasion.
Andrew McGuinness, CEO of Layered Reality, commented on the survey saying, "Extraterrestrial life remains one of the world's biggest curiosities, so it's no wonder that Brits today are thinking about the possibility of them invading Earth." He also noted that despite one third of the population thinking about Earth being invaded by Martians at least once a year, a surprising six in ten people feel unprepared for such a scenario.
It's a frightening thought to imagine an alien invasion, but it seems like it's on the minds of many people. Are you one of the few who feel confident in your ability to survive? Or do you find yourself in the majority, feeling unprepared and unsure of what you would do in such a situation? Only time will tell if we will ever have to face a hostile Martian invasion.
