Maybe not on our daily lives, so I don't think (I hope..) there will not be wide spread panic. Maybe a few groups here and there but nothing we've never seen before.
What I would expect though, and I consider this a big deal, is the potential for humans to start answering one of life's most intriguing questions: are we, or are we not alone in this Universe? Like Clarke famously said, both alternatives are pretty scary.
So at least I would hope people would start pressuring governments to actually go there and make contact. As a lot of other people say, humans seem to be explorers by nature.
However there's the other fact that someone else posted. Probably this would not be know at first, so it's harder to gauge with that factor. I don't think NASA/Gov would release this info right away, but I do think if this info is ever released, it would make the world change a lot. Maybe not immediately, but for sure on the mid-to-long term.
