This is what would happen.
Except for maybe the meteors crashing, this is most probably what would
happen if aliens would try to make contact. The US would respond with fear
and pretty much shoot at anything moving because we all know they are
the biggest war-mongerers and the only nation to actually use nuclear
weapons in war.
Personally, i hope that if aliens did try to contact us, the US would be
the last country to be contacted so that we could initiate peacefully.
In this movie, the US is responsible for the end of the earth because
of their triggerhappy governemnt who believes that everything can be
solved with violence. And the aliens would have been better of just
destroying the US and let the rest of the world live in peace.
