Immediately? I'm not sure. Probably shock. This is something I've given a lot of thought but the sheer excitement of not only confirming there are other forms of intelligence in the world, but also personally perceiving them, would just be overwhelming. I'd probably freeze up for fear of antagonizing them somehow and fucking everything up for everyone.

Long term, I would want to learn as much as I absolutely could. The actual process of studying and communicating would almost certainly be done by the governments of the world, so obviously I couldn't trust everything I hear, but man, the mere existence of 'alien' beings (extraterrestrials, angels, demons, extradimensional entities, whatever) would answer so many questions and have so many implications that I probably wouldn't want to focus on anything else, maybe for the rest of my life.

LOL not a chance. there are evolved lifeforms billions of years more advanced than humans. you think they care to abide by our silly primate 'hierarchies'? you don't think they see through the utter horrors of our social and cultural conditioning? they don't see government as leaders (who are merely puppets of the vatican priest class of social engineers anyway) or single person as superior in any meaningful way. they see a species that has been lied to, deceived, and indoctrinated into believing fear-based narratives since birth. virtually no one understands their soul purpose because our cultural conditioning makes a mockery of even the idea of such a thing existing. our species is one giant psychic stench. 

but they will communicate with dumbasses like you and i when our brains can actually perceive them (in altered states of consciousness) because they actually care about the fate of our species. there is one particular species capable of doing the priest class and governments immense damage and are currently working with select individuals globally through spiritual awakenings.
