I think the primary objection to accounts of contact with
aliens is their poor literary quality and lack of imagination.
Typically, the aliens are humanoid, the most favored being a
caricature of human beings emphasizing their difference from
other mammals (upright bipedal posture, large heads, flat
faces, binary features, big staring eyes, etc.), and their
procedures closely resemble contemporary human laboratories
and operating rooms as they're constructed in industrially
advanced Western countries.  It seems unlikely that
extraterrestrials with the powers to visit other worlds would
just happen to resemble contemporary human scientists so
closely.
