And if we're truly alien to them why would they bother with first contact at this point in human development? They could simply drop a couple of large rocks on the earth and knock us back to the stone age or even kill off the biosphere. Then come in later and terraform the planet to their specifications.
I would think that the only reasons this hasn't happened is that we're too uninteresting to them at this point to bother. Or they are so alien that they don't consider the planet desirable. If they have adapted to low gravity situations then they might not be able to live/stand/walk at earth normal gravity. Our gravity well may be too much for them. Our atmosphere could be poisonous to them. Etc. Etc.
Interesting topic.

What would be the most you could handle with an Alien?
Ewok, E.T, Borg, Facehugger, Xtro, The Thing?
humans can be pretty mean

In the Novel "Childhoods End" by Arthur C. Clark the aliens are peaceful and bring a cure for all diseases. Their presence brings about a Utopian era for all mankind.... but they look like this....

Did you ever see the tv series on syfy? It was good other than the filler stuff they add to every show.
At first they didn’t want to reveal themselves because they knew we had books describing them as evil, and once they finally revealed their true form religious people freaked out because they looked exactly like the devil.

I could probably handle that. It would depend on what the eyes looked like up close. I could essentially handle anything kinda human looking I think, but if it say looked human-like and had eyes like a dragon fly or something that would disturb me a bit.
Definitely gotta have some kind of mammal eyes. Like Iris and pupil. Could probably handle a squid monster if the eyes were right lol.
But I do seriously think eyes are an important part of human interaction. We relate better to creatures that have ones similar to our own for sure.
