If ET phones you at home, don’t answer his call. In a new documentary, British physicist Stephen Hawking confirms the existence of aliens, says they’re dangerous and tells people to stop trying to contact them reports the New York Daily News this morning. And brace yourself if they decide to visit earth. Says Hawking: “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.”

The three-part Discovery series called Into the Universe starts on May 2
