None, right?
Like I say, it would depend on the nature of the encounter. Not sure what my questions would be but if I felt the answers were legit, why not? Presumably I would bring up the possibility of its being an advanced alien race. But really, if the show is convincing enough what does it matter?
I think it matters a great deal whether we are dealing with a very convincing cosmic impostor or the real deal. If not to you directly, then for the sake of humanity: many will follow the latter whereever it leads, and will take it as a source of absolute truth and morality, but not necessarily the former.

Well there's this order of begging monks I'd like to tell you about...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
