I don't recall hearing about this much. Usually it seems the visiting beings just watch from a distance or communicate telepathically but without really making any kind of greeting gesture, or at least there's often no mention of suchs or the details of the greeting. Maybe physical greetings are to some degree rather redundant when we are crossing the boundaries of culture and species etc?
This is a bit off to the side of the topic, but the common 'hand shake' is something I've personally found rather artificial and even crude tbh. Don't take offence if you really like it, but sometimes it can be used as a way of testing physical strength or masculine character, so to me it doesn't always come off as a genuine neutral greeting. (It is the one they used in Star Trek first contact, so there's that..)
The namaste on the other hand feels more natural to me, if we had to use some kind of a greeting gesture at all. It has even appeared in different cultures. I remember seeing a photo of one of the children from the Fatima saga where she held her hands in namaste gesture so naturally that it seemed as if she were a saint from India (she was from Portugal/Catholic background)).
Are there maybe any examples of aliens greeting with namaste? I know it's mostly based on culture and also on humanoid physiology :)
