Earth planes vs. UFOs from Outer Space?

Depends on assumptions of technology used. Things like lasers can be
iffy, as they are not necessarily very effective weapons, and other
particle weapons may have issues in an atmosphere. On the other hand,
things like real anti-gravity means that "they" can do a lot more than
fly fast or radically maneuver, things like tweak time/space reality or
the nature of local universal forces, so that "they" wouldn't need
weapons in the normal sense at all. Which also begs a more basic point,
what would a really advanced technology/society need with bothering with
Earth?? There is nothing here that can't be gotten/made cheaper closer
to "home". Like the gods of old, we are projecting our own fears or
wishes into these "aliens", giving them motives and technological
assumptions that fit what we believe. If the real thing ever shows up,
they'll be more different than what we might expect.
But enough of this rational wet blanket, basically Earth is screwed, as
even fairly conservative Sci-Fi aliens can whip our butts (barring some
ridiculous secret weakness that will bring us final triumph over the
icky green hoards).

Us, of course. We've got Jack O'Neil and Samantha Carter to fly the X302.

Oh, and Jeff Goldblum to feed them a virus.

There's no law against eating space aliens. We could solve world hunger.

Ah, Sam...

to Jack...)

You know, there is no proof any aliens have ever visited our planet, so
we
can hardly speculate on their military capabilities.

Oh yeah? Then how do you explain Tarver??

Dropped on his head too many times presumably. And I mean as an adult, not
as a baby.

Ever heard of the Tehran Incident?:

http://www.nicap.dabsol.co.uk/tehran1.htm

This is one of the few documented cases where an AF aircraft actually
tried to engage a UFO.
The Iranian pilot lost in that engagement as the UFO knocked out its
fire control system preventing launch of a missile.

Billy Connolly, the Scottish comedian / actor, had a solution for world
hunger and over population. Eat the person standing next to you. Not
only will you cut the world population in half overnight, but you would
end world hunger at the same time. I believe he said it on the Conan
O'Brien where it was met with a few hisses and boo's, to which Billy
replied "Oh shut up!"
