Does there need to be anything else?
Seriously they are not our saviours but it would be nice to know for a fact that we are not alone. Hopefully by something of this magnitude mankind will realize that we should stop killing ourselves over stupid petty things like oil or what color your flag is etc.

Will they stop the oil crisis? World hunger/poverty? Mans inhumanity to man?
Do you really believe that terrorists, rapists, murderers, or any evil bastard will stop what they're doing just because aliens arrive?

What if they have no answers to our greater questions?
