Stop prepping for earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes! The sky is falling! Uh, I mean, the aliens are coming!
What about another Carrington Event. The powers that be, know about the potential for it and they know how to harden the Electrical Grid to counter it. With Black starts and nuclear reactors popping all over the US, they may conclude to tell the public, 'it was the Space Aliens what did it. We need to re-arm now!!!'

If there are space aliens out there, they're probably sitting around filing their talons or farting cyanide gas or something.
They don't have to do anything to us, we're well on our way to killing ourselves off. Then, all they have to do is vaporize what's left of the dead bodies (the count will depend on how fast we die off), and move in.
Of course, the alternative is if the zombies kill us off first, then the aliens will have to deal with them. But it shouldn't be too much trouble, I've heard they don't move very fast.

I believe the chance of us being contacted intentionally by any intelligent extraterrestrial lifeform is zilch, zippo, nada, way less than none. In comparison to the rest of the cosmos, we en masse are probably way tinier than even the tiniest spec of insignificant sub-atomic particle currently known to nuclear physics. IMHO, of course. ;-)

Everyone grab *all* your camp stoves! We'll light them simultaneously as the alien invasion fleet enters the solar system. The aliens will see the massive heat signature and think we've finally gone and nuked ourselves into oblivion. No point in invading a radioactive cinder. Invasion averted! Saved by ... wait for it... hydrocarbons! Huzzah! That would work if everyone had as many camp stoves as you :-).

I think this option then leads us to catch the atmosphere on fire, burning everything on the surface to a crisp and thus doing to ourselves what we were trying to avoid from the alien invasion. Then, a million years later, larger, intelligent descendants of ants take over the earth. Charlton Heston would be a logical lead to do the movie version, or his computer animated avatar. But who would play the head of the ant civillization? Hmmm, perhaps Hugo Weaving, but should the ants have an Australian, British, or American accent? Decisions, decisions...
