Lets say an alien space ship visted [View all]

Lets say an alien space ship visited our planet next year...Lets say it was 50 miles in diameter holding upwards of 25 million aliens. A power source of this ship was a white dwarf star of .5 miles diameter. These aliens were millions of years more advance then us and had an avg iq of 800. These aliens also merged with a.i early in their histories....They come in complete peace and wish to live with us and will share their tech and knowledge.

Would you approve of this?
