Well I'm sure nothing bad could come from this. Mysterious radio waves coming from under the ice in Antarctica you say? I'm sure it's fine ... noting to see there ... move along!
This feels like an excellent plot hook for any modern era game, any superhero game, a pulp game ... I mean that's going to get some attention in any era. One of Scion's Trinity RPGs would probably handle this well, as would various Savage Worlds books.
Alternatively it might be an alternate start to a Robotech campaign. "That ship's been frozen down there for a million years. I'm sure whoever it belonged to is long dead." - says the remarkably confident researcher investigating the source of the signal.
Supers campaign: Newly unfrozen alien dusts the remaining ice from his shoulders and says "hey thanks for getting me out of there. Those fourth-planet bastards must have hit us with a fast-acting polar inverter - froze us before we could stop it. How long were we out? And who are you all anyway?"
"What? Oh, we're from the fifth planet ... why do you ask?"
So many possibilities.
The Mountains of Madness are calling ...
