UFO enthusiasts were quick to volunteer for alien abductions, eager to learn more about these mysterious phenomena.
Shouldn’t a collective noun take a singular verb, when IS the council…. We are never going to beat the aliens with bad grammar. https://t.co/CZKGEA1Dgk

Others joked about the grammar or composition of the sign, questioning the wisdom and resolve of its maker.
Media
Parks and Rec meets X-Files? Yes please.

Some thought that the sign was the seed of a good idea for a TV show or movie. A few even said they would be pursuing it personally.
Other Side
Perhaps a strongly worded letter to the Interplanetary Galactic Council is in order… https://t.co/24gvSPzvv5

I have so many questions, but I suppose the main one is ‘exactly what would any council do to combat advanced alien civilisations who’ve cracked interstellar travel’? https://t.co/4HtzBi8ZJh

A few commenters suggested that the sign-maker would be better off appealing to the aliens’ council than the human one, arguing that it would have more power in this scenario anyway.

X-Files fans were quick to envision a version of the show set in small-town England, with fantastic results.
Emphasis
Yep, that’s the weird bit.
— Tom Putnam (@yorkcitytom) June 9, 2021
Some questioned the red lettering on the word “to,” guessing that it was a mistake and that the word “do” was supposed to be emphasized. Others laughed at the absurdity of questioning this small part of an altogether bizarre sign.
Impermanent
Yes!
It’s been [3] days since an alien abduction 🤣— Dario – Agent of G.I.R.L. (@dario006) June 8, 2021
Finally, some users suggested that the sign-maker should have made it easier for themself to change the number at the beginning of the sign in case more abductions are on the way.
