Build a really massive cannon.
((DORA size))
If the aliens are that advanced, they'll have antimissilemissiles or some other anti-missile tech.
Antimissilemissiles would bounce off a shell that large.
Also, Build up heavy AA guns around key cities/bases
((again, firing shells. Can also be used as effective anti-tank weapons))

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

We need to decipher their weapons to use them against them.

Well reverse engineering would let you use their weapons, deciphering, is linguistics, which lets you understand them, and decryption, which lets you have another combat bonuses, also you have been shooting the UFOs with missiles so far, but so far they've been, about the size of one from X-Com, that you get at the start, which brings up another interesting question, its pretty obvious this is the alien vangaurd, the largest ship was the first one, and even then there were, only about 100 aliens, which brings up several questions.


1. Where are they coming from, well while they are from outside the solar system how are they getting here?

2. What is your long term plan, fight forever?

1. FTL drives are technically impossible, so presumably either warp-drives, or conventional engines and cyro-pods/some other means of preserving the crew. The invasion fleet could have been launched in the stone age, for all we know.
2. No. Fight until they surrender or all of one side is dead.

Personally, I like jump drives.

Or jump gates.

Well you could examine the ships, or look for structures
