Witnessing a UFO landing can be a hazardous experience. For some reason there appears to be very little practical advice available for such events, so this webpage is provided to help rectify that problem. Below is a helpful list of "do's and don'ts" in the case of UFO contact.

1. Do not touch, or attempt to touch, a UFO that has landed. After passing through the Earth's atmosphere the surface of the craft will be very hot and could cause a serious burn.
2. Do not stand too close to the craft's hull. There is a chance of steam being vented prior to the entrance hatch opening. There is also the possibility of an elevated level of radiation at the landing site, which could lead to radiation sickness. Extended exposure will increase your risk of cancer. Residual gravitational effects may persist at the landing site for a significant period. The health issues involving such gravitational effects are not known at this time.
3. Do not stand under an UFO hovering at low altitude. It is likely that a tractor beam will be engaged. If unable to avoid being directly under a UFO, you are advised to stand very still. The aliens may think that you are just Earth plant-life.
4. Do not attempt to contact aliens if they appear, any movement on your part may constitute an act of aggression. If possible, back away extremely slowly. Try to make no gestures.
5. If you witness the spacecraft leaving, do not wave. A wave is likely to be a severe insult to an alien culture and this would spark an intergalactic war.
6. Note the time and take a photograph, if possible. Note the shape and size of the craft, using nearby objects for a size comparison. When you arrive home, draw a sketch of the craft even if you took a photograph; often the elevated radiation at the landing site will make the photograph very fuzzy.
7. Avoid touching any artifact from an alien spacecraft, since such artifacts are likely to be dangerous, leave these for collection by the authorities. Note, however, that an alien artifact may offer immense powers to whoever wields it; it may be prudent to hide such artifacts from any evil people who might be in the area.
8. Leave the area at your first opportunity. Although the aliens may appear dormant in their craft, they may be regenerating or rapidly multiplying. Inform the local authorities, or the military, immediately.
9. If you can see an alien which appears dead or injured, do not touch it. This is a bio-hazard and it should be put in a level 3 quarantine. Do not poke it with a stick either. The alien might not be dead and this would make it angry.
10. If you spot what appears to be a UFO in the sky at a distance, then the chances are that it is actually a weather balloon or an USAF stealth plane.
