Technically, any deity whose origin (if any) is not from Earth is already an extraterrestrial being.
As for what might happen if a technologically superior species were to claim godhood over human beings, history has shown that, with enough power, even fellow human beings have been worshipped as a deity. So I suppose it would be a matter of how much force/evidence would this species use/provide to get humans to accept their claim.
And of course, there will be those who will reject them regardless, be it rejecting their claim of creation, or accepting it but still rejecting any claim of authority.

My first thought was the Stargate franchise, but I didn't realize this Prometheus is part of the Alien franchise. I think I'm going to check this out, thanks.
