What if beings from some far end of space were to visit the Earth? What would the Christian response be?

I don't think this is a problem. We already have priests that believe in aliens. It just means YHVH caused more than humans to exist in the universe.
It also means that the Second Creation Story [Genesis 2] is far more likely to be a story of how aliens used what was already available to create a specific type of human being, and place that human being in a garden the aliens also created.

One impression of what the Serpent may have looked like. The serpent may also have been a creation of the aliens...
