Default Jesus - Close encounter of the third kind?

An actual alien visitation is defined as this. It has been much discussed in science fiction and a whole series of protocols invented - as in Star Trek about first contact.

Anthropology has many examples of the effects of one culture meeting another - classic ones are the changes to native american lifestyles with the introduction of the horse, and the world wide effects of guns, steel knives, alcohol, measles etc.

Assuming Jesus is correctly defined as the co-equal son of god, co-eternal, with the power of resurrection, do we actually have enough evidence of this alien invasion of the supernatural into the natural? The ripples from this particular stone in a pond (or meteorite into the gulf of mexico) should be obvious.

So, where are they, and what is the meaning of this lack of obvious evidence? That Jesus was following very strict close encounter protocols?
