What is the LEAST terrifying way for an alien species to introduce itself to Earthling/Terran's?
Curious what people think would be the most appropriate way for them to introduce themselves without us freaking the f#@% out.

Best thing I can think is head toward the planet slowly enough that everyone sees this object that has been steadily moving towards us... then gradually get larger and larger in our sky until everyone must be aware of it... then land, or send scout craft of very peaceful robe wearing aliens that exude peace.

(shrugs) I don't know what do you think?

Also they should visit cosmopolitan places like Amsterdam, Istanbul and Vancouver.

a well known landmark would probably help.. a message would probably help... best if something everyone could understand.

Only thing I would add is communication prior to fully reaching earth. A message of their intent or what not

alien7:" Let me help you, to save you from your own destruction and teach you some things, but remember, THIS is your last chance as the human race! If you continue to exploit each other for own selfish reasons, poison your planet because of a pile of the thing you call money and the power some seem to need to take in their own hands, just to exploit others even more, then we can´t do anything, anymore for you because you seem to wish for your own destruction.

This Planet is a beautiful gift you are destroying with almost not thinking about it, so is all of your lives."

They have to be advanced well beyond anything we can properly understand. Worst case scenario they let us shoot everything we have at them and shrug it off without retaliating. While doing this they fix the planet for us here and there. Fukushima, save an island from a tsunami, disarm nukes.
Make it obvious they are peaceful and we cant hurt them at the same time. Eventually we'll figure it out.

That is right,such a moment is enevitable but the longer the "Wake them up " campaign is run the fewer will be too shocked once their paradigms are shattered by the contact.

Re: What is the LEAST terrifying way for an alien species to introduce itself to Earthling/Terran's?
Well, what they've been doing so far is stationing themselves in high energy places like on the tops of mountains, in the woods, around rock formations, etc., so that the people who are naturally drawn to those places will see them first, but also because they can send out positive energy more effectively in those places. They appear as beautiful, shining little orbs, and their numbers have slowly been increasing. They also do 'flyovers' over larger cities so that those people can see as well. They will not start a mass revelation until the majority of people ask for it though. Unfortunately it's going to take widespread calamity for that to happen...hf

I'd go with beamed in messages at first. Any first contact is going to cause panic, but receiving a message would be less shocking than them just hovering over some city announcing themselves.
