  Here's what people need to know. Physics don't just apply to us, it applies to aliens as well. IF anything can land on the white house lawn they have pretty much 0 interest in our resources/land/etc. They never land here with any intention of screwing us for one gigantic reason, anyone that can reach use like that has EXTREME levels of resources avialable to them that makes the earth useless.
  So if anything would arrive like that so willy nilly, they'd be here openly. They wouldn't really hide, they would be here for cultural observation and exchange purposes. That's assuming they have any interest in that at all. There's no reason for any other civilization to contact us right now besides curiosity and data collection.
context: Aliens: "We are here to take over your planet. We have destroyed your governments and imprisoned your leaders"
  People: "Oh Thank God"
  Aliens: "And we wil....wait, what?" >
  
  I was honestly wondering how big of an upheaval there would be if actual aliens landed on the White House lawn. I think I would continue on like normal assuming nothing crazy was said, like, "you will all be destroyed". I don't think anything would shock me at this point.
