My opinion on the INITIAL effects of ETs showing themselves is as follows;
there would be panics throughout the world in all aspects of the worlds' societies. For awhile it would bring everything to a standstill, then that would halt the flow of money, the banks would close to avoid runs on them, people would switch to using cash on hand only, the shipping and trucking of goods would probably be looted in transit (think about New Orleans and Katrina, the people started stealing and hoarding all foodstuffs and luxury items and that was just one city, this would be the whole world). I would imagine that the Brits would get bombed on gin and tonics and would refuse to be upset by it all and would probably float through it all the British way, the Americans once they realized that the banks weren't open and they couldn't afford to shop at the mall would force all the soccer moms into action with their glocks storming the mall en masse and loading up their SUVs with all the necessities of life, Levis, cashmere sweaters, ipods, new shoes and Britney wear for their 9 year olds. The Scientologists would probably activate their own TV satellite in space to run continuous feed of L. Ron Hubbard and the returning of the slave masters, there would be Jesse Jackson stepping forward offering to be the mediator and Al Sharpton would fight him for the right to but Jimmy Carter will slip by them and negotiate a bad deal. Larry King will interview the ETs. The French would surrender the first day, peaceful ETs or not. The UN would loot their cafeteria (as they did a few years ago) and would steal all the liquor and then hide under their desks with their secretaries to console their loss of bribes through contracts, etc...etc...etc
Lol! Just my first thoughts on this, feel free to add what I've left out,

if they had such advanced tech..
they obviously would have some sort of device that could show any event and personal interaction that has ever occured on earth..
ie: the crucifiction of christ.. .. the holocaust... the back-room dealings of corrupt corporate america... any other conspiratorial situation where people in great power and wealth.. would be held accountable for their actions once we've seen it.
now THATS something to think about..
and whether the elite would WANT the REAL (good) E.T.s to come...
with the event-viewing tech.
or if a reasonable facsimile of such could be moved in under human control.. (without the event-viewing tech of course)...
this would be more convenient for TPTB yes?
yes.
how do you know that if whatever comes...14-17th
is going to be of et origin?
A good point Prevenge.
How would we no that it could be a black project craft, until later or some advanced 3d holographis may be?

Social.
Would this cause caos and riots on the streets?
How would the media react?
Could it change our social life or the way we live now?
Economical/Industrial
What will happen if a free energy system was introduce by the visitors?
How would the world bank system hold up even in its present state?
Would the corperate world suddenly colapse?
How would the the world goverments react to this situation?
Religion.
Lets leave that one out.
I hope to see many opinions on this
Cheers!
OOPS!! Could the Mods please move this to skunk works

Every single belief in our social, religious, economic, poltical,psychological and philosophical systems would collapse instantly.
The world would fall into chaos, we underestimate the effect that an alien landing would create. Millions would die.

For a small fee of $25 I am willing to share with you the what-if. I know because I have channeled it myself. And my channel reception is way better than Ms. Goodchild's, I keep it completely free of cow dung. [/quote

As for the social impact, I think this would cause some chaos where the ship is visible, or directly above. Places that are just watching it on TV would probably be glued to CNN 24/7, and running to the grocery store to stock up on things like water and canned goods JUST in case. Third world countries would probably be very rattled.
A lot of people would be questioning their beliefs about the universe, but I don't think die-hard Christians and such would re-consider their religion. They'll see it as a seperate entity, and will probably pray in the masses for resolution.
As far as economics, I think we'd see a huge increase in spending on everyday needs, and then eventually people would be stashing away money. Positive and negative reactions as the days progress.
There would probably be a meeting of major world powers, and some would want to be more hostile than others...but I'm not sure there would be too much they could do. If it's as BIG as people are claiming it is, there's no GOOD way to attack it without endangering millions of lives.
Oh and I forgot...MASS evacuations. People just getting up and leaving.
Personally for me...I'D BE SO FREAKIN' EXCITED.
But I'm not holding my breath.

I think that for the respect of the general public, even if they DO know, the Gov't will have to act like they didn't see it coming.
