Depends on the extent of their intervention I guess. If they only contact the heads of governments then I doubt the public would be informed (in fact I believe this is likely already what’s happened).

But if they were more obvious about it and hovered over our major cities (District 9 style) then there would likely be civil unrest in some form, and the military would probably try to shoot them down.

I think they know that contact has to be a gradual process. Let’s assume that any NHI that wants to openly make themselves known to humanity and continue to communicate with us would be benevolent (since malevolent species would either rather hide in the shadows or just destroy us in one fell swoop). So what if I told you I believe this gradual contact communication process has been going on for years and continues to this day? Are you open minded enough to consider the answer?
