It involves essentially launching every nuclear weapon on Earth into space in the hopes that the damage would cripple the ships and, if shielded (Big if, frankly) the EMP would damage them.

If these aliens arrive, then they posses a form of faster-than-light drive system. To travel faster than the speed of light, they will need artificial gravity. Otherwise, every crew member would have their face planted on the back wall. Is this beginning to sound like science fiction to you? Any race capable of this would not have shields that could be taken out with an EMP.
