Well, lessee:

General populace: mostly awe, fear, and distrust with no collective action taken except wild gossip, random attempts at manipulation and conspiracy theories

Religious fanatics: complete disbelief, outrage, violence, bigotry and disassociation

Intelligent and openminded populace: hands extended in friendship and ready to learn all they can before the "visitors" realize how f***ed up the other two factions of Earth citizens are and how they will react to them.

I figure that about sums it up.

I am intelligent and open minded and I would not trust that visitors from another world were going to be on the side of angels. No one expends large ammounts of resources for no gain other than goodwill. Sorry I would not buy that.

Some people do.

Besides, the aliens could be looking for innocent, mutual gains like sharing culture and ideas and opening up a new trade area to stimulate their economies. Or they could be plotting to eat our brains, but really, why be so pessimistic? :)
