An alien expert has issued an ominous warning \u2013 stop trying to contact them or we'll all be in danger.<\/p>\n

Dr Franck Marchis, a senior planetary astronomer from the SETI institute, has spoken out after old comments about the dangers of contacting aliens resurfaced. In 2021, physicist Mark Buchanan claimed that contacting aliens would be dangerous, and advised not to do it.<\/p>\n

And this week, speaking to Salon, Dr Marchis shed some light on just how dangerous it could be \u2013 in short, very. Comparing them to ants, he said: \u201cIf they can travel to visit us, their technology is probably way ahead of ours, including maybe having a way to travel faster than light.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they don't like us or don\u2019t consider us to be intelligent, they could probably wipe us out quickly, so yes, this is a frightening prospect. They could be like ants, with a queen in charge, like in the movie 'Aliens', or they could be like big cats that hunt alone and might come to our solar system to hunt, like in the movie 'Predator.'<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could also be like the aliens in the TV show 'V,' who see our planet as a resource and want to use us and our water, or they might see us as a threat and want to destroy us before we get too advanced, like in the movie 'Independence Day.'\u201d<\/p>\n
